Admit it, being holed up at a desk or at home all day can really get to you sometimes. Thankfully, you can just pack your laptop and head out to a friendly cafe in your neighbourhood. LBB checked in on cafes that let you work in peace for as long as you want while fueling your appetite and supplying your caffeine fix, and here's the complete list. Don't hustle too hard, amigos!
Work As Long As You Want With Wi-Fi, Coffee, & Snacks At These 13 Cafes
Paper And Pie
Work meets play at this minimalist cafe! When it comes to work-friendly cafes in Bengaluru, Paper And Pie is the perfect spot. This Instagrammable cafe has podcast rooms, conference rooms, workstations, and more to help you chase deadlines and work in peace. They have an extensive tea and coffee menu and a whole lot of savoury options, from soups and salads to bagels and burgers, to keep you going.
The Caffeine Baar
The Caffeine Baar is a charming, well-lit space that has beautiful interiors with large glass windows and jute details complemented by a green cover. Wi-Fi facilities and an extensive menu with 24-hour fermented brews and baked goodies lure people from in and around the neighbourhood to work here. When you need a quick break from work, head on over to their experience centre and learn about all things caffeine.
Beanlore
Functioning as a cafe and workspace, Beanlore has private meeting pods, wireless chargers on hot desks, and a conference room, so it's only fair that we are working out of here often. The private pods are chargeable by the hour and honestly, somehow it's better than a co-working space.
Kana By Coffee Mechanics
The cafe has both an outdoor cafe and indoor seating for you to sit with your laptop and take meetings or get your work done. Plenty of good coffee, substantial nosh, and the fact that it’s a cosy space makes it ideal for those quick work meetings as well.
The Kind Roastery & Brew Room
The cafe in JP Nagar comes with a zen garden that we love so much. Want to take a break from a boring meeting? Just head to the zen garden and enjoy. Fresh coffee, natural light, cosy interiors, meeting rooms, and plenty of plug points make this a relaxing space to work out of. We spotted quite a lot of people on their devices when we were here a couple of times.
Trippy Goat Cafe
Say hello to the spot the LBB Crew used to work from back in the days! We love Trippy Goat Cafe for its old Bangalore vibes, delicious coffee, and fries (we order at least one plate). The space is unpretentious, with indoor seating and outdoor patio or under-the-tree seating. Believe us, you can get a lot of work done here while you enjoy good food and coffee. Wi-Fi is available on request.
The Yogisthaan Cafe
Head to Yogisthaan to find your zen. Surrounded by potted plants, you can stretch out on comfy cushions while having a steady flow of healthy burgers, smoothies, and salads make their way to you. With a branch in Indiranagar, you can get your daily dose of caffeine and food fix here to get your day going.
Starbucks
Usually sprawling, air-conditioned, cushy, and with Wi-Fi, at Starbucks, you’ll have all the comfort you need while working. Our favourite branch to work out of is the Indiranagar one where you can take your coffee to the section upstairs and work in peace, especially during weekdays. With branches across the city, head on over to spend the day at their cafe space.
Cafe Coffee Day
The popular coffee chain has plenty of outlets where you can spend hours huddled over your laptop. Fellow busy-bees surround you, so you don’t feel far from a workplace environment. Hot and cold coffees, fizzy refreshers, and plates of sandwiches provide sustenance. With branches all over the city, try the cold coffee here to wake yourself up!
Matteo Coffea
Walk into this happening coffeehouse for a day’s work. You might have to plug in those earphones to tune out the chatter. Do try their Arabica coffees, wraps, and chocolate-filled desserts that will keep you energised through the day. With two branches, one in Church Street and the other in CMH Road, it costs INR 700 for two people. Binge on coffee and use their free Wi-Fi to get through the day!
Third Wave Coffee Roasters
This chain of coffee shops has taken the city by storm. With a branch in every vicinity, head here for their delicious coffee and amazing food. Whether it's sandwiches, all-day breakfast, free Wi-Fi, or multiple plug points, head here to get your work done and network with people.
Qmin Cafe
Qmin Cafe on Cunningham Road has both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from, and you can get a snack and a beverage and settle down here for a few hours of work. The cafe has high-speed Wi-Fi, the staff is friendly, and the ambience is relaxed, allowing you to stay focused.
Araku Cafe
There’s a bookstore, a meeting room, and outdoor space at Araku Cafe. Plus, of course, coffee. You can work out of here as many people do and if you need the Wi-Fi, there are packages that come with not just Wi-Fi but also beverages and a snack.
