The best cafés to work from in Seattle

“Little Oddfellows in the back of Elliott Bay Book Company, where you can sit and write your novel for four hours and eat a baguette sandwich.”

“So grab a coffee, get your work day flowing and hop out early since they have shorter hours.”

“This UW-adjacent hub, accessible through an old alleyway—a real old-cafe-in-Cambridge sort of situation—has strong coffee, tons of tables, and overflow seating upstairs for finals week.”

“Laptop workers seeking a drip coffee bleached with cream and sugar are also welcome.”

“Here, it’s not gauche to laptop squat for hours (once at Mr. West I even saw someone set up his own printer tableside).”

“Their space, opposite REI, is also designed with the laptop warrior in mind - lots of tables and comfy seating, superfast wifi, plenty of outlets and even a quiet room at the back for focused work.”

“If you got work, head over to Cherry Street Coffeehouse (their Pioneer Square location), and you’ll find a friendly staff, good coffee, and a quiet corner to get ‘er done.”

“warren of secluded rooms furnished with ancient wooden tables make it the perfect place to hunker down with your headphones and a serious report”

“The café is small but perfectly formed with power outlets, great pastries, Mighty O donuts and easy on-street parking, and it's also one of the most welcoming cafés on the list.”

“Excellent wifi makes this place a work session no-brainer, especially if you grab a seat by the window and stare out onto the water every time you feel like procrastinating.”
