Walkable from Nakameguro station, but closer to Ikejiri-ohashi. Quite busy on a weekday around lunch time. Nice interior, but the large table felt a bit cramped when it was full. There was a sign about a 90 minute time limit (when busy).
Located on the top floor of Shibuya Parco, by the office tower entrance. Good for working as it is normally fairly quiet. Good WiFi, but no power outlets. It can get a bit crowded around lunch time.
A good cafe for working, located on the 17th floor inside the Shibuya Scramble tower office lobby.
A nice coffee shop just next to Monzen-nakacho station. Some high tables on the first floor, and more seating upstairs. The large tables have power outlets. Good WiFi. I wish they had some regular tea as well.
This building is mainly Chiyoda city office but the 9th and 10th floor are public library where anybody can access for free. On the same floor, there is a food court with great view and lots of food options for a reasonable price. The library area has a lot of individual booth but they are technically limited to those who have the library card, which is not too hard to get at the reception. There are also free address tables. There is unfortunately no places to take any calls. WiFi speed really depends on the location. Some part of the library struggled to get signal, but other parts had 20 to 30 Mbps download. On the ground floor of the building, there are a few seats available for everyone and Chiyoda city WiFi is quite reliable down there. There is a bakery and a coffee shop there so not going up to the library is also an option.
A cafe with a lovely interior and amazing staff. I love coming here just to chat up with the manager. Their drinks are great, and their pastries are also delicious. The Wifi is spotty downstairs so I highly recommend going upstairs for better connection and some power outlets. I've seen the manager smoking on the balcony. I don't know if that's their official smoking space but I guess he's nice enough to let you smoke if you ask. For some reason, it gets super crowded during the weekend.
A small cafe located inside the Prince Smart Inn Ebisu hotel, next to the lobby. Opens very early if that's what you need. Seating is quite good for working, with a large worktable and some smaller tables by the windows. The cafe itself doesn't have WiFi, but, if you look around you can find the hotel WiFi password. I didn't see any power outlets. It was fairly busy in the afternoon on a weekday.
A decent cafe for a short work session (not the most comfortable seating). Large outdoor seating area.
A small place with two large tables. It is definitely workable, if you can find a vacant seat. Definitely better for solo work as it might be difficult to find seats for a bigger group. The chairs are small hard wooden stools, not very comfortable.
