A very small cafe that originates in Australia. Plugs are available althought they are a bit out of sight underneath the table. Desks are well lit with natural light + a soft lamp and lovely to stay around. It's crazy they are open till 10pm on weekdays, and open from 7:30.
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 library is right outside of the Chatswood station and the area is full of Asian restaurants and big malls. There are plenty of tables and chairs around but during the day, most of the seats are taken by the local highschool students (edit - I realized it's exam week when I went). There are quite a few kids who are casually chatting but not in a loud manner. There is a glassed corner near the entrance where you would be slightly more comfortable taking calls. Also, if you need 100% privacy and quietness, they have one bookable phone booth. It is free for the library members but it would cost you $2.50 / 30 mins if you are not a member. You can talk to the staff to book a spot.
A very interesting spot in Kita-Senju. It's about a 10 minute walk from the station. Apparently this is an old abandoned bowling alley that has been converted to an art space and cafe/bar. I was there on a friday afternoon and it very quiet, just a couple people chatting or working on their laptops.
A cafe / bar / restaurant in Uluwatu. It is playing heavy music + the road facing towards is a main road that goes through Uluwatu so there's quite a lot of trafic you can hear. There are plug on most of the seats. I just got lots of mosquito bites, which might be my fault but I'll reduce the comfort point for that. It's a typical no-wall establishment so there's not much we can do but I got like 20 bites in an hour 🥺
It's a 24/7 co-working space right outside Central Park MRT (Exit 3). The operation model is a little bit different from other places as it's fully self service - it has facial recognitional access control so you sign up via app and take a photo of your face to register. They are aiming to become the community space for creators in tech and design industry with workshops, networking events and tech talks. Payments are all online, so Credit Cards, LINE Pay, Google Pay and even Cryptocurrency - no cash though.
They do not provide meals (only snacks and drinks) but there is an affordable restaurant 20 meters away.
500Mbps Wi-Fi, modern furniture, large mirror walls for brainstorming, beanbags and 24/7 access for NT180/day is a good deal!
A very popular coffee shop in Williamsburg. I've tried going several times to work but it's always been full. If you want a seat, be sure to arrive early (ideally before 9). Also, be prepared to queue up for ordering. The coffee was very good, and the tea was nice, but the cup size was very small (not sure if they do water refills). There are some snacks as well.
The interior is spacious, bright, and has a nice vibe. Even though it fills up very quickly it never got noisy. Plenty of power outlets along the wall side seats, and the WiFi is very fast (180+ Mbps).
