Working remotely can be a challenge sometimes. Your productivity can stagnate, and you need a change of scenery to boost it again. Working from a cafe may be the solution to that. Do you need a comfortable workplace with reliable wi-fi and good drink options? We got you! In this blog entry, we’ll introduce you to our favorite cafes in Tokyo for remote work.
Connel Coffee: Modern and Quiet
This café’s main selling point is its sleek, modern design. Its many spaces for working on your laptop, quiet surroundings, and huge window front make it the perfect place to get some work done while enjoying a coffee and a snack. The only drawback: the wifi can be a bit slow at times.
Tully’s Coffee: Quiet and Cozy
Tully’s Coffee is a Japanese coffee house chain with over 200 locations across Tokyo. You may visit any of them if you are looking for a work-friendly cafe. The one we visited was in Minato City. This location was very quiet and cozy, with many power outlets and fast wifi. The staff were also very friendly.
Starbucks Coffee Shibuya: Spacious with Very Fast Wifi
Our list wouldn’t be complete without recommending a Starbucks location! It is a coworking classic for a reason. This particular location is very spacious and has high-speed internet. On the upper floor, there is even a dedicated working area. This café comes very close to feeling like an actual coworking space.
Caffice: A Café Dedicated to Co-Working
This café’s name is made up of the words “café” and “office”. It is made as a space to work in, making it perfect if you are looking for a dedicated workplace that also serves coffee and snacks. The Caffice has a big space that is just for working. At the workplaces, there are power sockets and even LAN ports. The café is easily reached, right next to the subway station. There is a big selection of food and drinks as well.
Excelsior Caffè: A Safe Bet for Working
With over a hundred stores all over the country, the Excelsior Caffè chain is a safe bet if you’re looking for a place in Tokyo for remote work. The chain was created in 1999 and is part of the Doutor Coffee company. Excelsior Caffé imitates the style of Italian coffee culture, hence the Italian spelling of “Caffè”. All locations are spacious, have fast wi-fi and are often quiet, making them all very work-friendly places. Below, we’ll recommend our favorite location.
Excelsior Caffè Skytree: Amazing Views
This Excelsior Caffè in Sumida City was our personal favorite. It is located on the twelfth floor in close vicinity to the Tokyo Skytree tower. The Skytree is the highest tower in the world, a broadcast and observation tower you should visit when in Tokyo. And what better way to debrief after the visit than with a visit to this coffee shop? Once again, you’ll get stunning views, a laptop-friendly environment, and very fast internet.
