Let's face it: it's good to work outside of our usual surroundings from time to time, but it can be difficult to find the perfect place for productivity. Here is a list of cafés where you can work quietly and get access to wireless Internet.
These cafés in the Saint-Roch and Limoilou neighbourhoods provide a trendy space and delicious coffee to fuel your productivity. With two locations and a nice variety of coffees from around the world, this is a solid choice for a meeting or work session.
Specializing in teas, this spot in the Saint-Roch neighbourhood is quiet and trendy. In addition to teas, you can enjoy several types of coffee, bubble tea, tea soda and smoothies, not to mention they offer a matcha bar. For those who love tea, this is the ideal place to work.
There are Starbucks locations almost everywhere in the city, and all of them offer free wireless Internet access – and snacks. When you need to send an email quickly, meet with an associate or work productively, head to Starbucks.
If you’re in Sainte-Foy, downtown or in the Old Port of Quebec City, you will find a Press Café nearby. WiFi is free and there are outlets everywhere for plugging in your computer. Also, the menu is interesting and the coffee is delicious!
If you’re hoping to work in a relaxed atmosphere while drink great coffee, any of the six Les brûleries ("coffee house") locations is a good choice. Those who love tea will be happy to know the chai tea latte is delicious, and sometimes the barista adds a nice touch by creating a shape on the surface of the drink as they pour milk into it. Wireless Internet is available with any purchase at all locations (Saint-Roch, Limoilou, Sainte-Foy, Vanier, rue Saint-Jean and Vieux-Limoilou).
If you’re looking to work, meet an associate, drink excellent coffee or have a bite to eat, Chez Temporel is the spot for you. If you need to squeeze in a full day of work, this place is a must. The croque-monsieur is a good choice for lunch, and the service is excellent.
With three locations (Sainte-Foy, Lebourgneuf and rue Cartier) and over 50 different coffees, this coffee house is the perfect place to work. Their delicious soups and panini are also a good choice. The Lebourgneuf location is my favourite as the place is calm and less busy during the day.
