My favourite place is FabCafe Kyoto. It’s not in a big tourist area so shouldn’t be toooo busy and also it’s set up for people to work so you don’t feel like you’re overstaying. Just make sure you consistently buy something (just like anywhere).

It’s a small cafe, so it’s not the best place to work from.
