  1. Seconded. The one in the Exchange is easy to bus to and has coffee, meeting rooms, and quiet spaces. It's $50 to get access for a full day.

  3. The daily grind is open on the later side. A bit of a trek if you’re not in that area but the seating is very comfortable with plugs and the customer service has been superb every time I went!

  4. VA cafe on mcdermot has a nice open sitting area - coffee can be pretty hit and miss there. Was the same issue when it was forth, but it’s good, lots of seating, nice atmosphere.

  5. Fort Garry library is a bit farther, but it's usually quieter. It's kind of small, too.
