I've worked for extended periods of cafes. Heck, I'm working from one right now.

It doesn't work for 100% of your time. 20-40% maybe but not more than that.

There are many issues with cafe work:

- Lots of cafes are bothered if you stay for extended periods of time.

- Unstable or No wifi. You have to rely on Data unless you have it unmetered.

- Not always you'll find a charging outlet for your computer. Granted, I don't have this issue with the mac.

- Sometimes, you don't find a free/available place. So... you go to search again.

I think cafes are good for breaking the mood. But not a workplace for remote workers.
