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.
Dotour isn't usually my first choice for working, but this location outside Kawasaki station is pretty nice though. There's a lot of seating inside, but I think the best choice is the tables by the windows overlooking the intersection below. Fast WiFI, power outlets at some tables, and not too crowded during the day time on a weekday.
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.
A very quirky place hidden in the back alleys of Ebisu. It seems to be a combination of cafe, bar, and restaurant. The interior is full of plants and trees. There's one room on the first floor with several tables, and another bigger space on the second floor. Drinks felt quite basic, but the cakes were really good. A bit pricey.
This public library is one of the Shibuya ward libraries that is closest from the station. Yet, the space is quite limited, you can't take calls unless you go downstairs and book a phone booth for 150 yen per 15 minutes, and you have to sign up (it's just writing your name to a sheet) to use one of the plug seats. They also make you choose how long you plan to use it. It doesn't give you much work vibe to be completely honest.
