Best Vancouver coffee shops for working remotely

Oct 27 2021, 4:00 pm

Are the four walls of your living room or bedroom office closing in? It might be time to do a half day’s work remotely from a coffee shop in Vancouver for a change of pace.

The ambient coffee shop buzz in the background combined with the caffeine could be the perfect combination to help you focus on the work you have ahead of you.

Of course, if you’re planning to set up the home office from the coffee shop, be sure to follow remote work etiquette. Make purchases, try not to table-hog, and share your outlets with your new coworkers.

Here are a few of the best coffee shops in Vancouver to work remotely:

Because they have affordable eats and they’re open 24-hours a day, this is a favourite spot for remote workers and students to hunker down to bust out a project. Any one of their many locations (Fraser, Davie, Bute, West 4th, Denman, Main, Hastings) will fit the bill.
