Sure. Cafe Mak is my favorite and they close around 1am, kitchen closes at 830 though. They have various areas that are either quiet, chatty, or, or neutral.
r/AskLosAngelesNovember 2024 They also have a large bar inside so if you’re less in a coffee mood you can do work over a beer or a glass of wine instead. Can’t recommend enough, super fast wifi too!
r/AskLosAngelesMay 2024 Ktown coffee shops cater more towards students, so shops like Alchemist have outlets (but lots of competition for seating).
r/LosAngelesNovember 2023mixed The downtown Verve has giant table with power strips beneath.
r/LosAngelesNovember 2023 No minimum, see lots of people with their laptops.
r/AskLosAngelesMarch 2026 My fav two spots for this are Awesome Coffee and Tom N Toms Black. They're very close to each other too. TNTB is open until midnight and has a nice mess of food options too! Awesome is open until 2 am, not as many food options but still really good.
