Brooklyn Cafes – The Best Places to Work in Brooklyn

For years now, Brooklyn Cafes have played a key role in the lives of freelancers, remote workers, and those just looking for a place to pump out a few emails. And, in Brooklyn, they’re especially good at it. Whether it’s a sprawling warehouse space that doubles as a co-work hub or an airy, artisanal cafe sourcing beans directly from the farm, these places are equipped for a productive day.

Located in the heart of Crown Heights, this cozy coffee shop is a writer’s paradise by design with plenty of places to post up, a library-esque vibe and the added bonus of an adjoining bookstore (check out their book club). They also serve a full menu of breakfast and lunch options including a killer kale Caesar salad.

A converted industrial space with a skylight, Sey is proof of Brooklyn’s specialty coffee come-up. They serve brews from NYC roaster Spectrum Coffees along with homemade almond milk, killer avo toast and communal games like Connect Four and Bananagrams. What’s more, they source their beans directly from the farm and roast them on site. That means your latte is fresh, flavorful and free of try-hard pretension.

This Williamsburg hot spot is a remote worker’s dream. It’s a large, bright space with plenty of seating and a plethora of plugs to go around. Plus, their food is as tasty as their coffee with lunch options ranging from the cheesy, saucy Freddy Prince slice to the classic whole pie.
