The Lounge at the Eslite Hotel is workable. There are two large work tables and a small cafe where you can order drinks and some small snacks. Be aware that the prices are very steep though (250 for a latte and 230 for a lemon ice tea). Good WiFi and power outlets available. I guess you could technically work here without ordering something by pretending you're staying at the hotel, but that might not be very "ethical".
This Cafe is really nice, and just across the street from another cafe called PuiBui. There are individual tables by the front and a large worktable in the back. For working I really like the counter seats, which also have easy access to power outlets. The cafe serves tea, coffee, sandwiches, dumplings, and desserts.
The yellow sign on the door contains some important rules:
- Minimum order: 1 drink, outside food and drink are not allowed.
- Our tables include many sharp edges. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to come in.
- We're a small shop without many seats, if you have to leave the shop for a bit, please inform us in advance.
- Anyone who doesn't inform us of leaving for a short time, will have to spend the minimum price again.
- It could get quite packed on the weekend. customers won't be served before everyone arrives (before 6pm).
Great place to sit and get some work done. Be sure to arrive early to get a good seat. There's one large work table with pretty good chairs and power outlets. WiFi is decent. There's a Louisa coffee so you can get drinks and snacks. From the MRT follow the signs to HSR and then take the escalator up two floors.
永康街周圍有很多咖啡店，這是其中一個優秀的選擇。［羊毛與花］藝術性地把空間區分成不同的角落（房間），每一處都妝點得獨具韻味，甚至有一個小巧有遮蔽的戶外空間，我們可以輕易在各處找到舒適的椅子（也有提供沙發枕！）。
飲品的種類很多，包含不少好茶品，同時也有些輕食菜單。牛肉派真是好吃，可惜份量稍微少。
這裡早上通常清閒，過中午開始熱鬧起來。
A great spot not too far from the Gakugeidaigaku station. Every seat has power and the WiFi is fast. Drinks are ok. There are tables which are quite comfortable to sit at. There are also counter/bar seats.
Coworking space that is free and easy to sign up. You have to sign up and show the QR code techinically, but I was not asked. The space is full of tables and chairs. They seems to host events sometimes so should check the schedule in advance. You can pay up and use the restricted area with phone booth, but the free member area is decent enuogh. The only down side is that the coffee is tasteless, and there is a strict rule against taking phone calls.
This lobby cafe is located inside the OMO5 hotel on the 14th floor. Use the hotel entrance and take the elevator up. The cafe is large and spacious, with great views. The menu is fairly small, but has some basic drinks and food. There is also a large outdoor seating area.
Another branch of Streamer Coffee in a quiet neighborhood. The seats were fairly empty on a weekday, probably because the area is basically lots of small offices and not too crowded with people like Shibuya. Also the fact it is bit of a walk from any nearby stations might also make it less crowded than other places. WiFi is very fast and reliable. There's only one seat with plugs which is the couch seat at the back.
A nice coffee shop just next to Monzen-nakacho station. Some high tables on the first floor, and more seating upstairs. The large tables have power outlets. Good WiFi. I wish they had some regular tea as well.
This library is right outside of the Chatswood station and the area is full of Asian restaurants and big malls. There are plenty of tables and chairs around but during the day, most of the seats are taken by the local highschool students (edit - I realized it's exam week when I went). There are quite a few kids who are casually chatting but not in a loud manner. There is a glassed corner near the entrance where you would be slightly more comfortable taking calls. Also, if you need 100% privacy and quietness, they have one bookable phone booth. It is free for the library members but it would cost you $2.50 / 30 mins if you are not a member. You can talk to the staff to book a spot.
