    This is not in Lastarria, but Elephant Coffee (about a 5 minute walk from the Tobalaba Metro Station) is a great place to do work! There are a good amount of outlets and a delicious array of drinks and pastries :)

    many coworking spaces in Santiago require more bureaucracy than necessary when signing up to work – not so for Launch coworking, which just has you pay at reception, install an app, and track your hours.

  5. Casa Salvo Café

    Café, General Salvo

    WI-FI, POWER, Guide recommended

    , work score 100
    They have just opened a new room with outlets designed for sensory experiences around coffee, which also works perfectly for sitting down to work. If you need a more formal meeting, in the same Taller 1 you can rent rooms by the hour. Fast service, outlets, friendliness, WiFi, (very) good coffee, and it is also located in a setting where you can feel a good work atmosphere.

    Acaban de estrenar un nuevo salón con enchufes pensado para experiencias sensoriales en torno al café, que también funciona perfecto para sentarse a trabajar. Si necesitas una reunión más formal, en el mismo Taller 1 arriendas salas por hora. Servicio rápido, enchufes, amabilidad, WiFi, un (muy) buen café y además ubicado en un entorno donde se respira buen ambiente laboral.
