10 Spacious and Great Cafes to Work In

workspace_archive

Foreplan, a brand-new cafe concept designed by architects. The cafe features unique architectural office details not commonly found elsewhere. It operates as a cafe and architectural office during the day and turns into a bar at night. The annex, with its high ceilings and ample tables styled like an office, seems to be a hot spot for those looking for a great workspace in the future. There are outlets available along the walls of the annex. Pop music plays in the background, and the annex is relatively quiet. Most tables and chairs are work-friendly! If you prefer spacious tables, working in the annex is recommended. TIP: The area with the coffee bar has a ceiling made entirely of glass, ensuring good lighting. Those who focus better in darker spaces would prefer the annex, whereas those who like brighter areas should opt for the space with the coffee bar. Cafe hours are 9:30 AM to 12 AM (bar: 6 PM to 1 AM). Wi-Fi speed is average. Parking is available at nearby public parking lots. Americano costs 4.5, and Caffe Latte is 5.0. workspace_archive introduces new and stylish workspaces selected by freelancers who visit different spaces every day.

A warehouse-style cafe in the mass market store that has a roastery and a bakery in the store and continues to make fresh bread and beans. Headquartered in Daegu, there are also stores in Busan and Seoul. When I work in a cafe, I can still smell the aroma of roasting coffee. In the Mass, coffee beans are so popular that they line up at cafe shows. You can visit for work, but I think it would be good to visit with the idea of tasting In the Mass coffee!

It was good to have a variety of different types of beans and a variety of bakery menus, and the large interior made me feel less stuffy. The large and moderately high tables are also good for laptops.

🔌Outlet: There are two 3-prong multi-taps on the wall table.

🎶 Atmosphere: bright music is playing. There is Hanyang University nearby, so there are a lot of people using laptops. It is a bit noisy between 12-1:30, so if you want a quiet atmosphere, we recommend avoiding this time of the day!

🪑Table, Chair: There is a long table to share. If you work on a laptop, we recommend a table on the wall!

Hours of Operation: Daily 10:30-21:50 (Closed on the third Tuesday of every month)
Menu and price: Americano 4.5 , Latte 5.0
Public Transportation: 248m from Majang Station Exit 4

Lounge for working people, fyi. It is a place that aims for a space that inspires each person's work. The lighting is dim, the ceiling is high, and the space is spacious.

In one corner of the store, curated books are displayed. Curated books are books that give insight and inspiration to working people. When you order coffee, you get a card with a verse from a book related to 'work', which was also nice.

Coffee and desserts use Ordinary Fit beans. You can choose from two types of beans, and for dessert, there are finangsi and croffles. The coffee was delicious and the desserts were freshly baked in the store. When the weather is nice, I think it would be nice to work on the terrace with a cool breeze.

🔌Outlet: When you open the door and enter the table for 4, each table has an outlet on the floor, and the inner space has an outlet on the wall.

🎶 Atmosphere: I have one Geneva speaker, and the music is on the low side. It's close to the office, so it's very crowded during lunch time, so if you want a quiet environment, we recommend avoiding lunch time!

🪑Tables and chairs: Tables are usually spacious, and the height of the table and chair is suitable for working.

Weekdays 9-19 pm, Weekends 11-18 pm
Americano 4.5 Latte 5.0
