Bridge Coffee located just a 5-minute walk from Asakusabashi Station. It offers a versatile atmosphere to suit various preferences.
During peak hours and weekend, it attracts a crowd of ice cream and pastry enthusiasts, with items like carrot cake being popular choices. It's a lively spot, perfect for socializing and enjoying sweet treats. On weekday mornings, the café transforms into a quiet and cozy setting. It's an ideal place to catch up on work briefly. With reliable power and decent Wi-Fi, it allows you to sip your coffee while staying productive.
PS: When it's crowded, you may only stay here only for an hour, but most of time there is no restrictions.
Another great cafe between Shibuya and Harajuku. Plenty of seating (including counter seats and a large worktable), power outlets, and ok WiFi. Seats aren't the most comfortable, so I wouldn't plan to stay too long. Also the music volume was very loud so noise cancelling headphones was a must for me. Not ideal for working, but still a nice place to have a beverage, with good vibes.
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.
Located in the (tefu) lounge building just next to Shimo-Kitazawa station. Most of the spaces in the building are pay to use, but there's a small seating area next to the cafe that you can use without a membership. Not ideal for long work sessions, but a nice spot to sit and get some work done.
Smålands Café is a concept café owned by AB Småland. The entire café is decorated with AB Småland's furniture and products, and everything around is for sale. This creates a very cozy and calm vibe that represents Scandinavian style. You can get lots of home decorating inspiration while getting your work done!
The café is comprised of two buildings, and in between them, you will see a green house ceiling that invites lots of natural light. The first room of the café provides some charging options, and the Wi-Fi is pretty decent.
Like many cafes in Malmö, Smålands Café serves very tasty Swedish pastries like cinnamon buns. They also offer breakfast and lunch sets. To be fair, I'm going to call it the best café in town.
This café in Prague offers a generously spacious environment. The owners are incredibly welcoming, creating a delightful vacation atmosphere. You can also see people living around the neighborhood come in to grab a coffee while walking their dogs. It's the perfect place to be productive while enjoying your time away.
Anne & Max Korte Hoog is conveniently located near one of the busiest and most popular areas in Rotterdam city center, just a 5-minute walk from Beurs station. Surprisingly, even on bustling weekend afternoons, this café manages to maintain a cozy and tranquil ambiance. They thoughtfully provide extension cords for charging, and the best part is that they allow laptops! The food is delightful, and the service is excellent."
Large worktable and counter seats suitable for working. Very fast WiFi but no power outlets at the seats. I stayed for an hour on a weekday morning, which was fine. I asked if it was ok to use laptops and they said as long as I don't stay "too long". The staff was quite pushy asking if I wanted to order more drinks, so I figured an hour was probably the limit - a bit weird since there was no one else in there. The bathroom door had no lock at the time of visiting (in July of 2023). Hopefully that's fixed by now!
If you're looking for a place to do laundry and get some work done, then this is definitely the place for you. This combined space has one area for self-service coin laundry, and the other half is a cafe serving food and drinks. Laundry is available 24/7, but the cafe space is only open from 10:30 - 18:00.
It's located in the outskirts of Tokyo in Mitaka (about a 20 minute train ride from Shinjuku) and then a ten minute walk from the station.
Tip: you can check the status of all the machines on this website so you can gauge how busy it is. I think weekdays are probably the best time to go, but even on a Saturday afternoon it wasn't particularly busy.
