01The Elephant Coffee

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 :)

Much of the space has tables for one or two people, several power outlets, and the service is quick and stays attentive to the tables. For longer conversations, there is an area with armchairs that works well for informal meetings.

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.
