Work-friendly criteria
Understand how we assess laptop-friendly cafés and communicate their policies.
What makes a café work-friendly?
A café is considered work-friendly when laptops are welcome, either at specific tables, during certain hours, or throughout the day. It typically offers reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and an environment suited for focus.
How can I tell if laptops are allowed?
Each café listing mentions its laptop policy. Some cafés allow laptops only on weekdays or at certain tables, and we include those details so you know what to expect before visiting.
Why do some cafés limit laptop use?
Some cafés prefer to preserve a social or quiet atmosphere and avoid being filled with people working all day. koffiework respects these choices and helps communicate them clearly so guests know what to expect.
Does koffiework list cafés that don't allow laptops?
Yes. koffiework highlights both exceptional coffee spots and cafés where you can work comfortably. Some focus on great coffee and a screen-free vibe, while others welcome laptops. We believe both deserve to be discovered for what they do best.
Café owners
Guidance for café teams partnering with koffiework and shaping their listings.
How does koffiework support café owners?
koffiework exists for both guests and café owners. Not every café wants to become a coworking space filled with laptops, and we agree. Our goal is to set the right expectations so people know beforehand whether laptops are allowed.
If your café values real conversations, beautiful coffee, and a balanced crowd, koffiework helps communicate that clearly. And if our values do not align with your café, we will remove it from the platform—we respect your privacy and your decisions.
