The Book Cafe
We must warn you first though—the bookie hide-out with dim lighting will tempt you to snooze, faster than you can do your readings. But no fret, if you've got a strong coffee on one hand and a dollop of determination on another.

The Laneway Market
The gorgeous and well-loved place has been featured by local influencers and a site for fashion labels to do their photoshoot— and is a definite go-to place to complete your assignments. Not forgetting their glorious banana maple-drizzled pancakes to try when you get hungry from all the workload!

Sunday Folks
Apart from the creamy and all-popular earl grey and pistachio ice cream waffles, bring your books and laptop (during off-peak periods) the next time you head over and did we mention there's bright, natural lightning too?

For those of you with a sweet tooth, you'll go gaga over the favourite salted caramel banana brioche french toast, and get a cuppa of coffee to drown your work sorrows. Indoor seating is also available with long tables.

The Assembly Ground
Bring out your laptop and headset while picking out the corner spot in this vintage-inspired cafe. Go for a single scoop of ice cream for that needed perk-me-up!

Five & Dime
Apart from noshing on popular mentaiko pasta and salted egg lava cake, the cafe offers decent-quiet place to get your work done. Don't come during lunch hour and the cosy place is all yours! Well, almost. The best part is, free and stable Wi-Fi is available.

Grain Traders
Selling heathy lunch fixes, our favourite's the smooth latte which you can get at their dessert counter. The spacious CBD-centered place will be your new alternative working space.

Skip going to Starbucks and give these spaces a try.

Are you getting sick of ordering a cuppa of Starbucks caramel machiatto just so you could do work there? Don’t get us wrong, we love Starbucks and its work-friendly environment but we’re saying there are other cosy spaces you can try the next time you’re working out of office.

From free-stable-Wi-Fi at Five & Dime to the relatively new and gorgeous Laneway Market, you will not only get your work done, you’ll get to get your daily caffeine fix at these spots.

We’ve sniffed out 10 cosy spaces for you to savour your readings and work out-of-office with functional tables and great lighting.
