Another great workable coffee shop near Daikanyama/Nakameguro/Ebisu. Most times I've walked past it has never been very busy. When the weather is nice the large front windows are open, which is nice. My only complaint would be that the plain black tea I ordered was oversteeped.

There isn't much on the east side of Higashi-Shinjuku station, but I found this spot. I guess it's a hostle/hotel as well, but the entire first floor is a cafe. It's a nice workable spot, with good wifi and some power outlets. The menu is designed to look like a newspaper, which looks cool.

I'm not quite sure if this is a permanent location or just a popup shop. Order on the ground floor, and then there are two floors of seating. It wasn't very busy when I visited on a weekday morning, however, the interior is very echoey, so if anyone is talking inside it feels noisy. There is a tiny restroom on the first floor.

I found this place near Gakugei-daigaku. Apparently there are two floors (the upper floor being good for working) but I chose to sit on the first floor since the weather was nice.

New cafe opened end of 2023. Great choice of music atmosphere ideal for working. Seats are comfortable and good decoration. Power outlets almost everywhere with excellent wifi.

Tasty lemon cheesecake/chiffon cake. The latte is also great. Friendly owner.

Another good workable spot near Harajuku. The space is located downstairs, and has a lot of seating space inside, with some seats outside as well. Fast WiFi, but very few power outlets.

A new Blue Bottle coffee shop recently opened in Daikanyama, part of the Forest Gate building. It's probably one of the best workable Blue Bottle locations I've found in Tokyo, with large worktables, comfortable seating, and fast WiFi. The only caveat is that there are no power outlets. It was almost empty on a weekday morning, so it's a great place to get some work done early in the day.

A brand new Starbucks (opened March 2024) in the new Sakura Stage building in Shibuya. It's located on the 3rd floor and has two separate seating areas. The second seating room is open until 9pm, and the main seating room is open until 10pm. The WiFi is very fast, but few power outlets. Also, I'm not really sure where the restrooms are. I think you'd have to find the nearest public restrooms in the building.
