Newbie
Café, Broadway
Reddit recommended
, work score 52Newbie in Newmarket is pretty decent, it's a pretty noisy place due to it being one of the entrances to the office complex, but I've camped here for a few hours on my laptop with noise cancelling headphones, the food, pastries and coffee here is very good, although it is at the pricier end.
