The free basement area is quite nice with some decent seating options. It was pretty much empty when we arrived. Really fast wifi. Be sure to check the event calendar though as the space might be booked.
This place is workable, especially the second floor, but the WiFi was unstable.
Probably my favorite cafe in the new NEWoMan department store in Takanawa Gateway City. It's located on the back side of the building (coming from the station) on the first floor, a bit more hidden and away from the main shopping areas.
A free "coworking" space provided by Tokyo city.
Before you visit, make sure you download the app and register an account. When you enter the building take the escalator up to the second floor where you'll find the reception.
Scan your QR code at the entrance gates, and then grab a badge.
There's seating on both the 2nd and 3rd floors. I arrived on a weekday afternoon and it was very crowded. If you want to find a proper seat you should probably arrive early. Apparently it is fairly empty on weekends.
The WiFi is quite cumbersome to connect to. You have to download the TOKYO FREE Wi-Fi profile in order to connect to the WiFi. Instructions are available here: https://wi-fi.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en/
The clip on your badge can be exchanged for a free coffee from the coffee machine. You can bring your own drinks instead if you prefer.
A new cafe that recently opened in Zhongxing New Villeage in Nantou. It's small, but feels very cozy and nicely designed. There are a couple of tables available, suitable for work. Power outlets at every seat, but no WiFi unfortunately. Nice coffee, tea, and the scones look tasty! It's a little pricey for the area, but I like the vibe!
A brunch spot with terrace for couples and singles. WiFi might be slow at some parts of the restaurant.
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.
