A surprisingly good cafe to work from in Hibiya. The cafe is located on the 2nd floor of the TOHO Hibiya Promenade building. There are counter seats along the windows with nice views. There are plenty of things to order on the menu, including regular tea and coffee. The chocolate/truffle set is a nice option! Decent WiFi and power outlets. Restrooms are not in the cafe, but are located a short walk away from the cafe on the same floor.
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!
Another great weekday morning work spot. It's a bit outside the main city center so it's much quieter. Laptops allowed, WiFi and power outlets available. Decent food and drinks available as well.
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.
The Starbucks Reserve Roastery near Nakameguro is a massive 4 story building, with each floor featuring a different theme. It can get quite busy, so if you want to use it as a work spot then early mornings or late evenings are the best option. The upper floors have plenty of seating options, and WiFi is available. I didn't see any power outlets, so be sure to arrive fully charged! Plenty of good food options and a large drink selection.
A decent cafe for a short work session (not the most comfortable seating). Large outdoor seating area.
Anne & Max Korte Hoog is conveniently located near one of the busiest and most popular areas in Rotterdam city center, just a 5-minute walk from Beurs station. Surprisingly, even on bustling weekend afternoons, this café manages to maintain a cozy and tranquil ambiance. They thoughtfully provide extension cords for charging, and the best part is that they allow laptops! The food is delightful, and the service is excellent."
It seems most cafes focus on coffee, however, this place is perfect for someone who appreciates tea. The selection is great, with many types of black, green, and herbal/fruit tea. Each tea comes with a detailed description, so you can easily spend some time deciding what you want to try. The tea set is proper and even comes with a tea brewing timer so you can brew your perfect cup. The staff will also come around offering to refill your tea with more hot water as needed.
The interior is feels spacious and bright, with high ceilings and large windows across two floors. The first floor is great for eating and socializing. However, if you prefer a quiet spot to yourself then you can go upstairs and sit by the large windows and enjoy the atmosphere.
For working, the background music was to my taste (a mix of lounge and electronic). The WiFi is definitely slow, but it was stable and worked during my entire stay. Also, most tables don't have access to power outlets, but at least the large work table does. It was quite noisy around lunch time, but the rest of the afternoon was very pleasant.
A Swedish cafe located in the outskirts of Tokyo on the east side of the city. It is a very cozy and relaxing place, with a large outdoor terrace overlooking the river. The menu offers Swedish open-face sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and tea. Definitely worth taking a trip out there! Restrooms are just next to the cafe (public restrooms).
