SF cafes that actually work for a full laptop workday

the og location. plenty of outlets along the window bar, gets loud on weekend mornings when the surf crowd rolls in

small but calmer than you'd expect for the neighborhood. fewer outlets than andytown, grab a spot near the wall

upstairs mezzanine is the move, quieter and has its own outlets. downstairs gets a lunch rush that eats every table

smaller footprint, good if you just need 2-3 focused hours rather than a whole day. can get loud once the tour groups find it

worth flagging that this isn't the pure cafe it used to be, half the floor is retail now so seating is tighter than it was a year ago

sounds obvious but I keep making this mistake at new places, no outlets means everyone's fighting over the two seats near the wall by 11am
