This building is mainly Chiyoda city office but the 9th and 10th floor are public library where anybody can access for free. On the same floor, there is a food court with great view and lots of food options for a reasonable price. The library area has a lot of individual booth but they are technically limited to those who have the library card, which is not too hard to get at the reception. There are also free address tables. There is unfortunately no places to take any calls. WiFi speed really depends on the location. Some part of the library struggled to get signal, but other parts had 20 to 30 Mbps download. On the ground floor of the building, there are a few seats available for everyone and Chiyoda city WiFi is quite reliable down there. There is a bakery and a coffee shop there so not going up to the library is also an option.
A great place for remote workers in Tokyo. The location is good, right between Shibuya and Omotesando. The lobby space is large, with large worktables, individual tables, and even a large outdoor area, which is nice to use when the weather is good. Fast WiFi and plenty of power outlets. You can use the space for free, but you can also orders drinks in the bar (quite pricey though). There's also a small lobby shop selling some cheaper beverages and snacks. Mornings are usually pretty empty, but during the afternoon it fills up quickly!
This is one of my regular "working lunch" spots. A really cool cafe/restaurant/lobby. The main seating area on the ground floor is a restaurant. For short work sessions you can use a laptop as long as you order food as well (e.g. "working lunch"), and be sure to choose a seat in the back corner. I can definitely recommend the Rendang sandwich for lunch, it is fantastic!
For longer work sessions (or if you just want a beverage) you'll have to sit upstairs. This area is very popular and fills up fast, so be sure to arrive early and grab a seat.
Staff is always super friendly! The WiFi is good, but sometimes it will become very slow.
Probably the best spot in Sapporo to work. The place is huge with a lot of seating, good wifi, and plenty of power outlets. The menu is ok, unfortunately no tea available. Just keep in mind that there is a 3 hour time limit per drink.
A really nice cafe to work from. Good vibe, cozy interior, and normally very quiet. You can sit outside on the balcony (but smoking is allowed there). The entrance is a little difficult to find (the entrance is on the second floor of the building). Staff is friendly and food/drinks are good. Wifi can be very hit or miss. It can be slow and unstable at times, so it's good to have a backup mobile hot spot. Plenty of power outlets. Be sure to arrive early to get a good seat before it fills up. Cash only!
One of my favorite cafes in Daan. Nice interior and great atmosphere. The food and drinks are really good, but definitely on the expensive side. The WiFi is very fast and there are plenty of power outlets (although they encourage donations for using the power outlets, which is a little weird). Mornings are very quiet, but it usually gets pretty busy and noisy starting around lunch time and towards the afternoon.
A very quiet cafe near Taipei City Hall with a focus on tea. The interior is quite spacious with lots of seating and plenty of natural light. On a weekday it was very calm and quiet, with only a couple of people working and studying. The menu is simple, offering tea, coffee, and some non-caffeine options. Although the tea price is a little high, it does come with free refills of hot water, and the cookies are complimentary. Great wifi, plenty of power outlets, and very friendly staff.
I enjoy spending some time here to get some work done. Food/drink is expensive, so I recommend grabbing lunch here (which offers a food and drink combo).
There are counter seats and large work tables in the back. Fast WiFi (although it does slow down a bit when it fills up), and lots of power outlets. They even have Ethernet ports!
Weekends are quite popular, so it's good to arrive in the early afternoon before it fills up. There is a two hour time limit (per drink?), but doesn't seem to be strictly enforced. I guess when there's a queue they might ask you to leave.
Update: Large work table now has a 90 minute time-limit (per order)
I recently discovered this new cafe near Gotanda station. Actually, the cafe seems to be a crowdfunded effort after the cafe previously at this location closed during the COVID pandemic. Their concept caters "Remote Workers", specifically those that have trouble joining remote meetings at home.
The cafe features three zones: (1) main indoor area (free) for quiet work, (2) an enclosed indoor area (paid) called the "Online Meeting Space" where you can have calls and join meetings, and (3) an outdoor seating area. I think this concept is quite interesting, although, I didn't see anyone use the meeting space, so I'm not sure how popular it is.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming, there's very fast WiFi, lots of power outlets, comfortable seats, and a decent selection of drinks and some snacks. If you're looking for a quiet comfortable place to get work done, then it's definitely a place worth checking out!
