Tokyo - Trunk Lounge
Lots of open tables, espresso drinks, cocktails, and lunch are provided in the lobby of this hotel. You could spend all day/night here, depending on how much work you need to get done. Many tech meetups are also held here, so you can get stuck in something pretty interesting if you plan right!
Taipei - MKCR / Mountain Kids Coffee Roaster 山小孩咖啡
Super cute little shop on a corner in Taipei with a nice view overlooking the street.

Huge table with outlets. Also, the manager here is super cool. Highly recommend stepping in for a brew and getting some work done.
Ho Chi Minh City - Barista Collective
Unique takes on original coffee drinks. All drinks I had here were fabulously refreshing and delicious. But, tbh, I didn't work here. I just thought the coffee was excellent, and I definitely had to put this here.

I personally love Millcreek. My first accounting job was here. Millcreek has a special place in my heart. ❤️

Edinburgh - Argyle Place
Aesthetic coffee shop. Super nice inside, table service, STUPID GOOD BRUNCH.
Aviano - Small Pub Bruschetteria (AKA Death Bar)
Alright... I didn't work here. And I don't recommend working here. But I had to add some pub/cafe that I really loved while I was in Italy. This place has an amazing 70s/80s track. The owner handcrafts her cocktails BEAUTIFULLY and they're seriously delicious. I highly recommend stopping in for a bruschetta. You basically choose from a menu the size of a bible.
Brussels - Ana Attento
There are tons of nice places to work from in the building. You can see the street from the second floor. Also, there are filter brews here! Loose-leaf teas and espresso drinks are also available.
Grenoble - Ciel | Rooftop | Grenoble
The views are beautiful here. You could easily spend 8 hours from up high on a sunny day, gazing over the city of Grenoble...Then remember you have to respond to that one email. 😅 Hike up to the Bastille after work, then ride the Gondola back down into town for some dinner.
Hamburg - Playground Coffee St. Pauli
Beautiful for a morning to catch up with a new friend who felt like I knew forever.
Copenhagen - Riccos Coffee Shop
Hygge coffee shop. It's so cozy. There are candles at every table. A huge bookshelf at the end of the shop, and nice views into the canal. Stop in on a rainy day, and truly understand what the word "hygge" means to the Danish. ❤️
Berlin - Tucano Coffee
Super cute little coffee shop next to the Berlin Central Station. I had two different batch pours here, and both were delicious. Many outlets, tons of plants, and lots of light. Highly recommend for the aesthetics, and a cute place to wait if you're early for your train. 😁

Wonderful, experimental coffee shop! All drip and hand pours I've had are amazing. Sandwiches are also delicious. Super bright and big windows in the front. Staff is also wonderful.
Durrës - F L U C T U S Resto&Lounge&coffe
There was such a beautiful view of the ocean! I will be honest, I didn't come here for the coffee. But the ambiance and table service was wonderful. ❤️
Madison - Madison Sourdough
The sandwiches. Are. Dope. Order them. Spent an afternoon reading my book here, and listening to the ambiance. It's a VERY popular cafe. And I particularly loved this on a rainy day. The people of Madison are truly a beautiful people. Stop in for good company, great bread and some REALLY good coffee.
Brighton - Dharma Coffee Hove
During my time in Brighton, I really didn't work much at cafes. However, this cafe really stood out to me for the simplicity of the shop, and how delicious the batch brew was.
Tromsø - Kringla
Love the music here! Plants hanging in the window are cute! Candles at every table. And batch brew. As you can tell, I've got an obsession with batch brews and hand pours. 😅 It's hard to find in Europe.
Bydgoszcz - STREFA CAFE
Quiet, small coffee shop with an amazing selection of simple breakfasts! Coffee is great, tons of seating, and a beautiful view onto the river.
Seattle - Santo Coffee Co
The simplicity of the coffee is beautiful. From the single Colombian blend they offer, to the interior of the location. It's one of the places in Seattle that bring me peace when I walk in.
Seoul - TXT Coffee (.txt)
This is what it means to be a craftsman of the coffee industry. I have never seen a shop as dedicated to the craft of coffee such as this. It was a pleasure to visit.

Brooooo, this ice cream was absolutely amazing. I can't not list it here. My friend showed me this beautiful ice cream shack near her day job. And I just couldn't get enough.
San Juan Island - San Juan Vineyard
Had such a lovely time chatting up the guy pouring my wine. Beautiful Vineyard. If you time it right...You can see all the artist studios on the island, and the amazing work they do.
Belgrade - Artist Specialty Coffee, Stari grad
A space worth noting. Beautiful space. Beautiful pour over.
Los Angeles - Verve Coffee Roasters
I've tried Verve in Tokyo. But in Los Angeles? Ugh, loved this with the palm trees. Beautiful mornings with the bride and groom to be, for a trip to shop for some wedding gowns. Perfect way to start the days.
Phoenix - dialog
This place is one of my favorite coffee shops to chill at; get things done at; peruse the artistry; and buy all the artist's utensils. There is so much intention in this space. Play a game of chess with a stranger, fall in love with the plants. Learn about tarot. You can do it all here.
Anchorage - Wild Scoops
I understand this is ice cream...But the ice cram was so mf good.
New Bedford - Kyler's Catch Seafood Market and Kitchen
Man, oh man. Were the oysters incredible here. Shuck them yourself, or pay to have them shucked...Or ask a family member to do it for you...Doesn't matter, they still taste great.
Hyderabad - Babylon
This is not a cafe. Beautiful restaurant, though...Truly, I don't think I've ever eaten at a restaurant that looked like this...JK, just one in LA. Link somewhere here.
Las Vegas - Bar Centro
Probably the best coffee on the strip. I refuse to go anywhere else now. Thanks, Brandon.
Beijing - M E T A L H A N D S
I adored this coffee shop. It overlooks a neighboring temple. Chess sets make up the tables. It's a bit crowded. But it was truly a treat to hide away here for a moment.
Causeway Bay - % Arabica
Tucked away in a mall...Just outside the MTR station. Really nowhere to work. BUT, THEY HAVE DRIP.
