Calm, quiet library upstairs (to take your laptop) - good spot to study. Delicious sandwiches.
almost afraid to tell people about this place--wood tables, free wifi, lots of plugs, LIVE JAZZ PLAYING, and Carlos, the super friendly owner bouncing around w/ free vegan and gluten free cookies!
Although the wifi is a bit turgid, this is a relaxing place to work, and there are plugs, with one large communal table in a large, design-oriented space with good light. Pretty good Stumptown coffee. Read more.
The best place I have found on the UES to have a coffee and do work. Decent coffee. Friendly staff. Some vegan and GF baked goods.
Has free wifi upstairs (yay!). Make sure you ask for the password-not posted anywhere. Otherwise you have to eat, then pack up your laptop, go ask for the password, then go back up and set up again.
If you get here early enough, you can get the corner coffice! Also, stay for lunch and try their sandwiches and flat bread pizzas.
