Working from cafes in Mexico City, answered

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

71 of the 103 places in Mexico City whose reviews say anything about laptops are somewhere you can settle in and work. The other 94 of the 197 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 Mexico City have fast Wi-Fi?

Of the 54 places in Mexico City whose Wi-Fi we could judge, 18 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 18.

Can you work all day from a cafe in Mexico City?

Yes, in 71 of the 103 judged places in Mexico City, where staying past the second coffee is normal rather than tolerated. 0 of the 197 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 Mexico City?

0 of the 197 cafes we hold in Mexico City are open at 9pm or later on at least one day of the week. 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.
