    This is not in Lastarria, but Elephant Coffee (about a 5 minute walk from the Tobalaba Metro Station) is a great place to do work! There are a good amount of outlets and a delicious array of drinks and pastries :)

  5. 05Café Público

    caféAvenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, SantiagoWork 100

    As a model, this café bets on open-plan logic: you can go with your laptop and basically spend the whole day working there. Nobody is going to bother you except the distracted regulars looking for a place to settle in. The music and temperature are always well regulated and the light is soft.

    Como modelo, esta cafetería apuesta por la lógica de planta libre: Puedes ir con tu notebook y estar básicamente todo el día trabajando ahí. Nadie te va a molestar más que los parroquianos distraídos que buscan un lugar dónde instalarse. La música y la temperatura están siempre bien reguladas y la luz es tenue.
