Campus Google

The Campus Cafe is accessible to all but requires registration – a simple (and free) process that can be done in a flash. As you’d expect, it’s a mega cool space with super snappy internet speeds, gazillions of sockets and lots of ambitious, trend conscious youngsters talking about their start-up. It’s an atmosphere in which you get things done – and feel good about doing so.

Coffeedesk

ul. Wilcza 42

Reliable wifi – check. Lots of light – check. Fab coffee – checkity check! If you bag a seat early, then you’re laughing, but Coffeedesk’s popularity means even early birds aren’t always guaranteed a good spot to work. Despite this, it’s such a super cool environment many don’t mind taking the gamble.

Daft Cafe

Pl. Europejski 1 (Warsaw Spire)

With a location inside the Warsaw Spire, you’re dead right to expect the place to be all slim fit shirts and shiny shoes. Plus points are many and include a futuristic style, well-spaced tables, humongous windows and sockets for every table. To prove they’re really serious, there are even some ‘anti-noise’ chairs enabling you to make that call in peace and quiet.

Etno Cafe

ul. Marszałkowska 87

Having already made a big noise in Wrocław, Etno landed in Warsaw with a reputation to uphold. This they’ve done through a combination of factors. Good coffee is definitely up there, but whether intentional or not they’ve also become known for their work-friendly environment: fast wifi, comfortable seats, steady tables and air-con when needed. And there’s space, as well – never do you feel like you’re stacked together as if in some far Eastern sweatshop.

Kafka

ul. Oboźna 3

Its proximity to the uni keeps the student headcount high, with the intellectual (“OMG, I need to get that essay finished!”) atmosphere given added oomph by the stacks of books that line the wall (buy ’em for ten zlots a kilo). There’s certainly as much typing as there is reading, with a decent number of outlets and healthy connection speeds encouraging people to flip open their laptops and put their nose to the grindstone.

Kawiarnia Fabryczna

ul. Fabryczna 28/30

Fabryczna’s quiet neighborhood air makes it one of the savvier work spots in town, with digital nomads attracted by its laidback spirit, top draw coffee and overall atmosphere – it’s easy to dwell here for long sittings.

Resort

ul. Bielańska 1

Set on the corner of Pl. Teatralny, Resort’s location keeps trade busy, but not to the extent that pandemonium reigns – at least, not during the day (that’s saved for evening when the place morphs into a lively bar). During daylight hours it’s a relaxed, spacious zone with warm color tones and plenty of sunshine sloping through the blinds.
