A great workable cafe near Nakameguro. You'll find very fast wifi, power outlets, a large worktable, and nice window-facing counter seats. There's a nice selection of drinks and cakes/snacks as well. There is a 2 hour time-limit though, and the seats aren't the most comfortable - but it's definitely a nice spot to hang out at for a while if you're in the area.
A bright and spacious cafe not too far from the central station in Utrecht. It's workable, but be aware that this cafe charges €2.5 per hour if you want to use a laptop, and you have to sit in the designated "work" corner. The space is nice, and the staff was very friendly, but I'm not sure it's a good deal, especially since they don't offer any free time even if you order food and drinks. It was very quiet in the early morning, and filled up around lunch time.
This library is just a minute away from the beach. Ground floor feels ok to tak calls since the staff at the entrance are chatting anyways. Upstairs were very silent and lots of school kids studying. There are a couple of phone booth you can book.
A small but cozy cafe near Todoroki station. Both weekends, and especially weekdays are pretty quiet. The menu is fairly small, with a selection of coffee and some snacks. There's WiFi, but no power outlets. It seems like there is a 90 minute time limit.
After struggling to find "laptop friendly" cafes in the Netherlands, I've learned that "coffeecompany" is usually a safe choice. There are many locations throughout the Netherlands, they have fast wifi, power outlets, and they're laptop friendly. You'll want to arrive early though, to make sure you get a (good) seat. Tip: the large worktable has power outlets under the table.
Everday Mooonday is an art gallery with a cafe in the basement. The building and architecture is definitely special. The cafe was very quiet and empty just after opening, but filled up after a couple of hours. WiFi slightly unstable (disconnects for a short time from time to time), and some power outlets didn't work.
Small but cozy interior. Friendly staff. Power outlets and decent WiFi. The music was perhaps a little loud and too high tempo for my preference (I found it a little distracting).
Recently I've been exploring more of the Zhongshan area in Taipei, and have found many nice cafes to work from around there. Nichi Nichi is definitely a good option if you're looking for a relaxing and quiet place to work in the afternoon, or even late into the night since they stay open until 10pm. The style is minimal and simple, but there are some nice personal touches, like the colorful hanging lamps and decorations on the walls. The soft piano/jazz background music also helps set the mood.
There's good wifi and power outlets - but be sure to arrive early if you need to charge since only some seats have access to power. The menu selection is also quite small, but the options are good. One drawback for me is that the only tea on the menu is non-caffeine, but anyways, the mint tea was very good. Be sure to try the cakes as well, the banana cake was great!
I always struggle to find workable cafes in Shinjuku. This is place is quite decent though. Look for the sign for "Sumika" and take the elevator up to the 4th floor. There are plenty of large work tables, power outlets, and fast WiFi. From 4pm they dim the lights and it turns into a cozy bar. You're still allowed to work and use your laptop in the evening. During the day time it feels a little dark and enclosed due to the lack of windows, but not a bad spot to sit and get some work done.
