    I used to do some work at the cafe Westberlin in Mitte. They had a large table in the back for laptop workers to set themselves up comfortably.

  3. 03Bezirkszentralbibliothek Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Pablo Neruda

    library14a Frankfurter AlleeWi‑FiWork 100

    WLAN frei / kostenlos; Abdeckung: im gesamten Gebäude und im unmittelbaren Außenbereich

    Also, if you don't want to spend money, there's the Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda (library). It's not ideal because there's limited seating, you have to wear a mask, and the wifi isn't that great, but my internet was down yesterday and boxi and Shakespeare & sons were crowded, so I went there.

    Cafe Neundrei is a small vegan café on Monbijoustrasse in Berlin, slightly away from Hackescher Markt. It serves vegan cakes, smoothies, bagels and breakfast bowls, with a window counter upstairs and seating in the basement.

    Café Neundrei in Mitte is really chilled: lots of people with laptops, sockets, good wifi, and they'll let you sit for 3-4 hours as long as you order something now and then. Toilet available, of course.

    Café Neundrei in Mitte ist echt chillig - viele mit Laptops da, Steckdosen, gutes WLAN und die lassen dich auch mal 3-4 Stunden sitzen, solange du ab und zu was bestellst. Toilette natürlich vorhanden.
