Best NYC + LA Cafes to Take a Zoom Call From
Since WFH has become the latest trend and is likely here to stay, we’ve rounded up 5 top cafés in two of the busiest cities to not only work from but to also take a Zoom call from. We took into consideration seating arrangements, noise levels, and wifi strength—the outstanding coffee and drinks are simply a bonus.
NYC
131 N 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
What looks like just another coffee shop in North Williamsburg turns out to be an ideal and cozy WFH spot with its strategically mapped indoor seating and even more outdoor seating. Tip: their cold brew is the perfect boost for a day full of Zoom calls.
Various Locations Across Manhattan
With five locations spread across Manhattan, it’s not difficult to spot a Ground Central. The coffee shop prides itself on their community of local artists, making it the perfect spot to maintain inspiration while working.
172 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002
Known as “your public living room,” Black Cat LES is prominent for their strong wifi and cozy vibes.
816 Broadway, New York, NY 10003
Besides its prime location, Outro should be recognized for its wide arrangement of seating both indoors and outdoors. The noise levels never get too loud here, and both their coffee and food deserve high recognition.
Seven Grams has the perfect setup for working individually and taking a call. If you don’t go for a Zoom call, go for their famous ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies, crowned one of NYC’s top 5 best chocolate chip cookies!
Located on the border of Downtown LA and Koreatown, Coffee MCO has three levels of seating, free parking, and all the vibes.
403 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004
Bricks and Scones is the ideal neighborhood café. With ample indoor and outdoor seating and freshly baked pastries, this family-run coffee shop is Larchmont’s gem for getting work done.
1636 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
LAMILL is seated in the heart of Silver Lake and serves not only coffee but a variety of brunch options too, all accompanied by giant tables and comfy chairs. The perfect formula for a busy work day.
7020 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038
Sasquatch is the ideal spot to pull over at if you need a good latte, wide space, and just enough time to take a Zoom call (parking is free in the adjacent lot for 1 hour!).
132 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212
Every Angeleno (and New Yorker) knows that Blue Bottle is a reliable spot for good coffee. But their Beverly Hills location deserves a special shoutout for its two levels of seating and ample natural lighting, which all us Zoom participants can appreciate.
