The Drottninggatan café has rooms hidden away at the back and the Södermalm branch is also perfect for anyone wanting to sit largely undisturbed.

A Södermalm favourite for many
The tucked-away coffee roastery Drop Coffee by Mariatorget is smoking hot and draws in mainly creatives and wi-fi surfing media types. Lots of people stay for ages, which means things can get a little tight around lunch times and on the weekends. Count on a friendly atmosphere and several different light, pared-down rooms.

Charming in Birkstan
You'll find this eponymously named café at Norrbackagatan 48 in Birkastan. The owner Therese has created an inviting, cosy space, which draws in guests looking for a peaceful coffee or lunch. It's also a great place to sit and work. As the afternoon draws on, Norrbacka 48 transforms into the perfect spot for a post-work drink, with an emphasis on wine.

Peaceful oasis
Nobis Hotel's hotel bar is generally associated with glamorous cocktails but plenty of people sit and work here during the day in the light, airy lounge. A peaceful oasis in the heart of the city which is open from late afternoon. The lounge, with its 28 metre high ceiling, has comfy sofa groups and a calm atmosphere to work in. Perfect for anyone who wants to round off their meeting with a grown-up post-work drink later in the evening.

Organic with a Danish touch
At Stora Bageriet, which is run by the same people as Gast, you can give your study time a little glow-up with a Danish-style open sandwich made from organic ingredients and quality coffee. Or maybe celebrate a job well done with a glass of natural wine or beer from a local producer?

Buzzy coffebar with desirable wi-fi
An unexpected choice, perhaps, considering the constant buzz at this lively coffeebar, but Kaffe actually attracts a whole load of espresso-mad laptop regulars. You can't use your laptop in the bar itself (spill risk) - so you'll need to compete for one of the spots by the high windows. Good value coffee is served along with small sandwiches and normal-sized buns, but remember to visit the cashpoint first. It's cash only here.

Design surroundings
You'll often see students and remote workers tapping on their laptops in the lobby of this design hotel. Sit and work surrounded by large plants in playfully elegant surroundings with colourful furniture, patterned rugs and wooden floors. When the working day is over the bar's not far.

Brunch favourites
At Gast, you can fill your stomach while ticking off a few work or study tasks. Menu favourites include different varieties of eggs Benedict, hearty salads and American pancakes, and there are plenty of options for vegetarians to choose from. Their selection of coffee, tea and lattes made with matcha or turmeric is also extremely popular. Note that the café is completely laptop-free between 11:30 am and 1pm – a golden opportunity to take a break with a lunch date perhaps?
