Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

241 of the 382 places in Paris whose reviews say anything about laptops are somewhere you can settle in and work. The other 421 of the 803 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.

Question 2

Which cafes in Paris have fast Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Of the 163 places in Paris whose Wi-Fi we could judge, 67 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 67.

Question 3

Can you work all day from a cafe in Paris?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in 241 of the 382 judged places in Paris, where staying past the second coffee is normal rather than tolerated. 10 of the 803 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.

Question 4

Are there cafes open late in Paris?

Accepted Answer

10 of the 803 cafes we hold in Paris are open at 9pm or later on at least one day of the week. 10 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.

Question 5

Is Paris a good city for working from cafes?

Accepted Answer

Paris averages 3.0 out of 5 across 803 places, which puts it in the lower third 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.
