A nice, small cafe with a sense of community. The first floor has only counter seats and is not very spacious, but the open kitchen gives a welcoming feeling. Take the stairs to reach the comfortable second floor seating area. There is a sofa area, suitable for relaxing, counter seats, and small tables. Power outlets can be found at every seat, and there's WiFi. There are also great food options, the Danish toast is definitely worth trying. One minor “shortcoming” might be that the atmosphere is too relaxing and you might get distracted from your work or studies. It is easy to fill up after 10:30, so come early!

A decent cafe to study or work from. It's comfortable, quiet, some seats have access to power, and there's WiFi. However, the interior feels a little generic, and the drink selection is quite ordinary. Still, it's a good option if you need a place in the area!

A quiet and cozy cafe close to Yongkang Street. Relaxed atmosphere good for working or studying. There are counter seats, small tables, and a large worktable (which I think can be reserved). The outdoor seating looks like a good option when the weather is nice. There are two cats that may come up and say hi to you (you can find their names in the menu). The restroom facilities are quite basic.

A modern cafe, with fast WiFi and a very large and interesting drink selection. Only some seats have access to the power though. The large worktable did not have any power outlets. Also, the music selection was a little strange, and not really to my liking (electronic ambient music). Note that the food portion size is very small (only suitable as a small snack). Time limit of 3 hours might be enforced during busy times.

Update: The WiFi has become much slower

Trendy cafe/restaurant, modern interior, dim lighting, and lounge music. It's workable, but might be crowded/noisy during lunch and dinner time. There are two large worktables in the back, counter seating, and more tables near the front. Lots of power outlets, but the WiFi was very slow (at least in the front seating area). Good food, and the portion size was quite good, but a little pricey.

A good cafe if you're looking to work/study and also have some lunch. The atmosphere feels very relaxing and homey with soft music playing in the background. There's a good choice of both drinks and food. I tried the Japanese curry rice, which was really tasty. The cafe is small and it filled up in the afternoon, so it's good to arrive early!

A small cafe near Dongmen station that opens very early on weekdays (7:30). There's a very small seating area on the first floor, and more seats available upstairs. The 2F interior is quite generic though (nothing special), the seats are not very comfortable, there's a refrigerator that makes a lot of noise, and there is no restroom as far as I could tell. At least there is WiFi, plenty of power outlets, decent (cheap) drink selection, and it's clean.

There are two YABOO cafes near Yongkang St. This is the second one and the vibe is quite different from the first. The interior is brighter and more relaxing, good for study or work. It was very quiet on a weekday afternoon, with only a couple of people in the cafe. Comfortable chairs, decent WiFi, and some power outlets.

Note that the back room WiFi and cell reception is very poor, so don't sit there if you need internet.

There are many cafes near Yongkang St, and this is another great option. The interior has several different areas, all of which are decorated very thoughtfully. There's even a small covered outdoor seating area. Comfortable seating everywhere (even cushions are provided!). The drinks selection is large, with many good options, and there's some food as well. The beef pie was really quite tasty, but the portion size is a little small. It was very quiet in the morning but got a little busier around lunch time.

A combined tea shop and cafe that feels bright and modern. It's a good place for large groups since there are 3 large worktables (as well as some smaller tables). The WiFi is fast, and most of the tables have access to power outlets, but the chairs are not the most comfortable though. The menu is small, but the selection for both food and drinks is still quite good.
