A very quiet cafe near Taipei City Hall with a focus on tea. The interior is quite spacious with lots of seating and plenty of natural light. On a weekday it was very calm and quiet, with only a couple of people working and studying. The menu is simple, offering tea, coffee, and some non-caffeine options. Although the tea price is a little high, it does come with free refills of hot water, and the cookies are complimentary. Great wifi, plenty of power outlets, and very friendly staff.
A pleasant cafe located on the 2nd floor of the building across the street from Starbucks. There is a large menu serving food, snacks, desserts, and drinks. The WiFi is very fast and works well, but the inside seating area lacks power outlets. There are some power outlets on the balcony though (which also has AC). THe main downside is that the nearest restrooms are public and are located on the first floor of the building.
Located just inside The LINC mall, this cafe is great for getting work done thanks to plenty of power outlets and very fast wifi (the fastest I've come across in Kuala Lumpur). There's also a decent selection of drinks, and the food looks pretty good as well. Be sure to check out the 2nd floor as well, since there is more seating available there, as well an outdoor seating area on the first floor. The only downside is that the nearest restrooms our on the 2nd floor inside the mall.
A great cafe to work from in Gastown downtown Vancouver. Perhaps I was just lucky, but when I visited on a weekday morning it was fairly empty, quiet, and comfortable to work from. There's good wifi and some power outlets (although I was the window counter seats had power). The very friendly staff made for a very nice visit. Note that if you need to use the washroom you'll have to ask the staff for the key!
A trendy cafe in Gastown. I arrived just before 9 on a weekday and it was already quiet busy. I've noticed that cafes open early and close early, so I guess the cafe-worker crowd follows the same schedule. The cafe actually has two entrances, one from Powell St and one from Alexander St. There's a small seating on one side, and a much larger room on the other side.
The interior feels trendy, but I wouldn't say it was very comfortable. As the place was quite busy it was a little noisy as well. Good for a morning work session, but not really the type of place I'd hang out at for a longer period of time.
Another laptop friendly cafe in downtown Vancouver. This cafe is located inside the atrium of the VSO School of Music, there are plenty of signs so it's easy to find. On a weekend morning is was fairly quiet, mostly people coming in to grab a coffee to go. I imagine it might be busier on a weekday when the school is open. Good wifi, restroom available, but few power outlets.
I found this cafe while waiting for my laundry to finish at the laundromat just next door (useful if you're visiting Vancouver and have some laundry to do!). Surprisingly the cafe turned out to be quite good for working. There's wifi (albeit a little slow), plenty of power outlets, comfortable seating, and a large menu for both food and drinks. Even though it was fairly busy, it was still quiet, with most people working on their laptops or just relaxing and watching youtube on their phones.
