Decent cafe to sit and work at. When I arrived after lunch it was already very busy, so I guess it's good to arrive early. The second floor is definitely the best place to sit. Plenty of seating areas and lots of natural light. It can be a little noisy at peak times. The food menu is quite extensive but I didn't try any food. Lots of drink options but no regular plain black tea (only milk tea and non-caffeine tea). That was a little disappointing. I tried the chocolate banana shake instead, which was really good though. Fast WiFi and power outlets on the floor.
An interesting cafe with three different seating areas, each with its own style. There's a large outdoor seating area as well. I'm not quite sure if this is a bar, restaurant, cafe, or maybe all three! The "lounge" room looks really cool, but it's not very suitable for working. The staff is friendly, there's good WiFi, and power outlets at some seats. It was almost empty during the late afternoon on a weekday, perhaps because the prices are quite high (200+ for a small drink) compared to some other cafes nearby.
I've been seeing many posts about this cafe recently, so I decided to try it myself. It was a little difficult to find since the location on google maps is slightly wrong. Anyways, spend some time walking around the block and you'll eventually find a green door in an alley. (I guess that's part of the fun.) After you walk up a set of stairs you'll reach the cafe. The interior is quite striking, with lots of natural light, plants, and wooden furniture. For working, the large table in the middle is probably the best choice, but unfortunately it is lacking power outlets. At least there is WiFi, and it was very fast! The menu selection is good, with some food and plenty of drinks, but it's a little pricey.
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.
A great spot near Yoyogi where it feels like you're sitting outside thanks to the large open doors. I think it's a popular tourist spot since it's near the North entrance to Meiji-jingu shrine. Nonetheless it's a solid work spot. There are few outlets though, and the wifi wasn't working when I arrived (I asked the staff and I think they rebooted the router, which fixed the problem).
A very compact cafe in Ebisu. There are some seats inside, and also a couple of tables outside. It seems like a place where most people get take out, but it is definitely workable, with fast WiFi and power outlets.
When the weather is nice in Amsterdam, this is an awesome place to sit and get some work done. The cafe/restaurant is located inside the Eye film museum, but is accessible to everyone even if you aren't planning to visit the museum.
The views are great and the space is definitely workable (there's wifi and power outlets). It can get busy during lunch time and weekends. Some of the higher up tables are reserved for dinner guests after 5pm, but I believe the bottom area and the very top back area are always available. There's a small selection of lunch options, so you can get some food as well.
The easiest way to get there is to catch the free ferry (F3) just outside the central station. It's just a short ride and the ferry leaves every couple of minutes!
