The Best Cafes in Tokyo With Wi-Fi (That Aren’t Starbucks)

In the current world of hybrid work models, there are days when you need to put your head down and work, and the office or your home won’t cut it. For those in need of a change of scenery, plus some good coffee and free Wi-Fi to get down to business, here’s a list of great cafes in Tokyo. 

Note: Not all cafes with Wi-Fi have plugs. They may have a two-hour seating limit if they’re busy, usually during lunch and dinner hours. Make sure to be fully charged and plan ahead.

Caffice

As the name suggests, Caffice is short for “cafe” and “office,” and it was purposefully designed to be a space for productivity and relaxation. There are outlets at every seat. Also, it’s next to the bustling Shinjuku Station, so the convenience is unmatched. The cafe also has meals and even wine and beer selections for your after work wind-down.

Alpha Beta Coffee Club Jiyugaoka

Alpha Beta Coffee has a few locations, two of which are in Jiyugaoka. With its own roasted beans, it serves great coffee in a clean, minimalistic setting for prime focus time. It changes coffee selections each month, so you can frequent the locations and still try something new.
