01Highly Likely
café4310 West Jefferson BoulevardWi‑FiWork 100
They also have a large bar inside so if you’re less in a coffee mood you can do work over a beer or a glass of wine instead. Can’t recommend enough, super fast wifi too!
r/AskLosAngelesMay 2024 02La La Land Kind Cafe
café189 The Grove DriveWork 92
No minimum, see lots of people with their laptops.
r/AskLosAngelesMarch 2026 03Awesome Coffee
café3959 Wilshire BoulevardWork 52
My fav two spots for this are Awesome Coffee and Tom N Toms Black. They're very close to each other too. TNTB is open until midnight and has a nice mess of food options too! Awesome is open until 2 am, not as many food options but still really good.
