My favorite activity that gets me out of the apartment is working from a coffee shop! I work from home, so this is especially vital for me. Check out a few of my favorite New York spots that have great coffee, prime people watching and great staff.

Chic and not too crowded-lovely matcha and a great gluten free selection of pasteries!
Noglu
A little crowded in the mornings but lovely for meeting friends and writing in your journal! Might be too packed for your computer
Variety Coffee
My UES hidden gem! Lovely brunch is an added plus
Ella's Cafe Espresso & Wine Bar
Cafe + dogs = big yes! I suggest bringing minimal work, you might get distracted :)
Boris & Horton
Coffee + wine bar? Yes please! Laptops allowed :)
La Bomboniera
No laptops allowed downstairs, but there’s plenty of room to work in the upstairs cafe!
Madame Bonté Café
My favorite spot on the Upper East! I like sitting in their outdoor area, knocking out a few emails
Birch Coffee
Bookshop turned coffee shop and wine bar—no laptops after 7pm, and be sure to get there early in the morning for a spot at the bar!
Book Club Bar
I love coming here at 11-ish on the weekends, it’s usually not too crowded!
Anaïs
This spot opened up the minute I moved from NYC, can’t wait to try once I visit!
Cafe Maud
I know it’s a chain…but this spot is my tried and true latte treat for when I’m running errands or going to appointments.
Soho Coffee Cafe - La Colombe Coffee Roasters
Coffee shop turned wine bar, my favorite
Anaïs
Cold brew is strong and so are the vibes
Specialty Coffee Shop | Downtown Brooklyn, New York
