Answered

Which city is best for working from cafes?
Canggu leads on our average, 3.9 out of 5 across 377 cafes. The averages are close, though, so the honest answer is that it depends on the one thing you cannot work without: the table below breaks it into Wi-Fi, sockets and late opening so you can sort on yours.
What is behind the numbers?
2,696 cafes read one at a time, from what the people who sat in them wrote. Every share is counted against the cafes that carry that verdict rather than against the whole city, which is why the denominators are printed next to them.
