Working from cafes in Berlin, answered

How many cafes in Berlin are good for working on a laptop?

212 of the 373 places in Berlin whose reviews say anything about laptops are somewhere you can settle in and work. The other 141 of the 514 we hold are unjudged rather than unwelcoming: nobody who wrote about them mentioned it either way. What we look for is a table you can open a laptop on, a socket within reach and nobody counting the minutes.

Which cafes in Berlin have fast Wi-Fi?

Of the 238 places in Berlin whose Wi-Fi we could judge, 134 hold a video call. The connection is read from what people who sat there wrote, not from what the cafe claims, so a place with no reviews about its Wi-Fi is left out rather than guessed at. The "Fast Wi-Fi" filter on this page shows only those 134.

Can you work all day from a cafe in Berlin?

Yes, in 212 of the 373 judged places in Berlin, where staying past the second coffee is normal rather than tolerated. 144 of the 514 cafes we hold are still open at 9pm or later, so a long day does not have to end mid-afternoon. Kitchens usually stop serving well before closing, so order before the last hour rather than after it.

Are there cafes open late in Berlin?

144 of the 514 cafes we hold in Berlin are open at 9pm or later on at least one day of the week. 8 of them never close at all. Closing times come from each venue's own opening hours rather than an estimate, so a place that shuts at 8:30pm is not on the list.

Is Berlin a good city for working from cafes?

Berlin averages 3.3 out of 5 across 514 places, which puts it among the strongest of the 14 cities we cover. Canggu leads on 3.9. The spread between cities is narrower than the spread between two cafes on the same street, so the city rarely decides your day: the choice of place does.
