This is a living, public database of cafés I've personally worked from and ones I'm planning to visit. It’s not a ranking or "best of" list but an evolving record of my café experiences.

How to use this database:

• There are 170+ cafés on here, so click “load more” near the end of this page to see the full list!
• You can also use the filters (located on the far right of the database) to find cafés based on how you want to work or spend time
• Latest café details like business hours, address, and contact info are best checked **via this Google Maps list (save this list for future reference!)**
• My notes for cafés will be updated sporadically. Notes are based on my personal experience, not reviews or sponsorships.
• Note: Seating is relative to the biggest cafes in town, hence why there’s less “plenty” and more “limited”. Check the Google Maps list above for photographic references.

If this café list has been useful and you want to support this creative project, you can buy me a coffee (or tea).
