I would be inclined to shoot for a space of 'our own' before a 'shared' space, though it may well be the easier to find option.

Only issue I see here is that the "hacker spaces" seems to imply physical hacking as well. Meaning tools. So a coffee shop may not be the best bet. Maybe a local business with a shop might be interested in sponsoring this sort of thing? Easy/free marketing, and the insurance issues would probably already be taken care off. Just a thought.
