A cozy cafe with nice interior. Quiet in the morning and around lunch on a weekday, but it got quite busy/noisy later during the afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. The WiFi was very fast at first but got quite slow as it filled up. There are lots of power outlets in the first room. The outdoor seats also have a power outlet. However, the second room is lacking power along the right wall seats. The menu is pretty small but has a decent selection of coffee, tea, and non-caffeine drinks. Some food is served, but mostly cakes. There's a 2 hour time limit on weekends.
A very nice outdoor terrace on the 7th floor. There are lots of restaurants inside, and lots of seating outside. Seems like a nice place to hang out with friends and get some food and drinks. It was quite peaceful. If you want to sit and work then make sure you bring a wifi hotspot.
There's a small cafe at the Impact Hub building. The cafe is open to the public and you don't need a membership. It's a nice, quiet spot to work, but the guest WiFi is extremely slow and the power outlets are blocked. The cafe serves drinks and some small food/snacks. Food is only available between 11:30 and 14:00.
A nice café to work if you need to be in the att4fun area. Especially the specialty coffee and desserts (soft serve ice cream and waffles!!) are great.
The top area is reserved for working, while the lower area is meant for more casual coffee drinking. This also means that plugs are only available at the top area (available for every other seat with USB and normal outlets). WiFi is pretty average, as you use the public A13 Guest wifi, view and toilet are rated low, as there is only the public toilet available and the "view" is simply the mall - which is great for people watching, but not much more.
The specialty at this cafe is the homemade soufflé. The large tables in the back have a 1.5 hour time limit, so it's not really the type of place you'd stay for a long time, and it got quite busy in the afternoon. There is fast WiFi, but no power outlets in the back.
The two small tables at the front are more suitable for a longer work session since there is power, but the table/chair size might be uncomfortable for some. There is a large coffee selection and the soufflé was nice, but definitely a little pricey.
A popular lunch/brunch cafe near Dongmen station. During midday it can be a little busy/noisy. However, the afternoon was definitely quieter and made for a comfortable space to work from. The menu is large, with many food and drink options. There's WiFi, but it was very unstable during my visit. Also note that there is a 2 hour time limit during weekends.
Starbucks located inside the World Trade Center convention center. Fast WiFi, but only some seats have access to power outlets.
A fairly small Blue Bottle coffee shop, but there's quite a lot of seating inside. There are some high tables when you first come in, and there's another large room with regular tables in the back. There's not much sound isolation, so it got very loud when it was busy with people talking. So this is probably best for early mornings or late evenings.
Great for early morning work since the Starbucks opens much earlier than the rest of the LUMINE EST department store in Shinjuku. It was basically empty until around 10am. There's very fast WiFi thanks to the free Shinjuku WiFi. No power outlets though. To access the Starbucks before the department store opens you have to use the escalator available from the road side outside entrance (the underground entrances from within the station are closed).
