This is a un-staffed, vending machine based, 24h operating "cafe" that is meant for people to get stuff done. As long as you buy an expensive vending machine coffee for like 450 yen, you'll earn the right to stay there as long as you want. It's like a cheap airport lounge. The space is good, the chairs are comfy, lots of people working or studying, and the view out the window looking over the river is better than looking at a busy street. WiFi was decent, potentially an easy go-to especially early in the morning or later in the evenings. They say no food allowed from outside, not sure how they impose that though 🤷♀️
A small coffee shop, a couple bar seats, and a large worktable. Very chill vibes. Seats are not the most comfortable or ergonomic.
There's a small cafe at the Impact Hub building. The cafe is open to the public and you don't need a membership. It's a nice, quiet spot to work (unless there's a meetup or event happening), but the guest WiFi is extremely slow and the power outlets are blocked. The cafe serves drinks and some small food/snacks. Food is available during limited hours.
Interior is quite small and minimal, but when the weather is nice, they have a large outdoor seating area, which is really nice. Pastries and sacks available. WiFi is decent, I didn't see any power outlets.
The new Swell location in Nakameguro. The space is perhaps a bit smaller than the old one, but seating options are more comfortable now. There's still a small outdoor seating area. I'm pretty sure they have more food options now. Fast WiFi and most seats have power outlets.
This is a expensive starbucks branch with not many (only a couple) of outlets. Fine for working but you could find better Starbucks tbh.
A really nice workable Tullys, with fancy coffee, overlooking Umekita Park. It's on the second floor, above Zara, in the Grand Green Osaka South building. Good natural light, and nice seats along the windows. Multiple WiFi networks available.
A cafe that is very narrow but tall. AC was cold. Plenty of work friendly seats but they tell you where to sit so you might have to ask that you wanna sit down and do some work. Coffee was decent. Wifi is a Freespot wifi which was weird to connect to, and seems to stop once in a while. I ended up tethering anyways.
Pretty cozy, there is music but the volume is quite low. Only saw one seat with sockets. Restroom is in the same building but outside of the cafe, all the way to the back.
There's a PRONTO cafe towards the East Halls. Just next to it is a large seating area with big windows offering lots of natural light. There's a lawson and restrooms nearby as well. The only free WiFi I was able to get onto was the Lawson Free WiFi (a bit slow, but works fine).
