Coffee Breaks and Working in a Café

Many students and freelancers like to work in a café. If you come with a laptop, ask beforehand whether Wi-Fi and power sockets are available and whether staying for longer is welcome. The quieter morning hours are usually better for concentrated work.

Visiting a Café with Children

For families, high chairs, a baby-changing facility and a little room for prams are important. Ask beforehand what is on offer.
