Best work-friendly cafes with free WiFi in Singapore
1. Soul Brew

If you’re in the Little India ‘hood, park yourself at Soul Brew for a work-friendly lounge. Located within Holiday Inn Singapore Little India’s lobby (find it directly above Farrer Park MRT Exit A), this cafe is a cosy hideout to get work done with free WiFi. Pop by with your pals for a discussion or meeting at the communal table, or find a cushy seat for a quiet space to work.
Fuel up with salads, mains like beef burger or the classic club sandwich, or bites like fries and popcorn chicken. Pair your meal with homemade cold-pressed juices made with superfood ingredients: we’d suggest ‘Beat the Heat’, a mix of orange, beetroot, carrot and pineapple. Feeling sleepy? Perk yourself up with coffee or tea.
Soul Brew, 10 Farrer Park Station Road, Floor 1, Holiday Inn Singapore Little India, Singapore 217564

This minimalistic three-storey Japanese cafe is a perfectly quiet place in the city to spend a relaxing afternoon. Tucked away from the hubbub of Chinatown, it offers WiFi and a cosy place to get your work mode on. It also has a space for workshops, events and retail therapy. Before you start work, fuel up on Japanese grub and locally roasted artisanal coffee. One highlight? The [email protected] programme that allows you to spend a whole day working at your own pace for just $30.
Grids & Circles, 200 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058749
3. Mellower Coffee
You’ll know Mellower for its famed for Sweet Little Rain creation. Which is a huge cloud of cotton candy hung above an Americano that dissolves with the steam. Mellower is a great place to get your caffeine fix. Those who’d like to linger can make full use of its free WiFi and power sockets to get some work done.

4. Twenty Grammes

A minimalistic, industrial-chic space in Kampong Glam, this work-friendly cafe is known for its frosty gelato swirls, house-made waffles and cakes. Besides the added perk of free WiFi, you’ll be high on a sugar rush from signatures like sea salt caramel ice cream with s’mores waffles and hojicha soft serve as you watch the cars outside roll on by.

Other drink alternatives include citrus chai spritzer and matcha latte. To curb those hunger pangs, nosh on rostis, sweet or savoury toasts, and sandwiches made with bagel or croissants.

6. Group Therapy

We’re big fans of Group Therapy’s little nooks where you’ll be tucked away from the bustle of the CBD without having to venture too far from civilisation. Pop by on weekdays to avoid the brunch crowd and pick a table close to the window for natural light as you scarf down pasta, waffles, acai bowls, egg dishes and house-made cakes. If you’re in need of a wake-up call, the menu’s got you covered with espresso, cappuccino and piccolo latte, along with hot chocolate, matcha latte and chai latte.

9. The Coffee Academics
For a roastery from Hong Kong that’s serious about its coffee, this spot also serves good grub in the form of all-day brekkie, salads, pastas and acai bowls. For an eggy brunch, get the generous Academics Breakfast with sausages, baked beans, halloumi cheese and more. But if you like extra coffee with your coffee, try the Academics Coffee Churros dusted in coffee cinnamon sugar. The brand’s flagship is a quiet, light-filled space at Scotts Square, but you can also head to its busier locations in the CBD to get work done there.

10. Komyuniti

A social space to eat, drink and be merry, Komyuniti is also great for its super-speed WiFi and numerous charging ports. No surprise, since it sits on the 10th floor of tech-savvy hotel Yotel. Since it’s not really a cafe, you won’t get your usual eggs benny or waffles. Instead, you’ll be treated to flavourful plates of teriyaki chicken rice, carbonara, mini sliders and duck fat fries. All of which can be washed down with coffees and organic teas, or you can start happy hour early with the cocktail concoctions.
Komyuniti, Level 10, 366 Orchard Road, Yotel Singapore, Singapore 238904

Famous for its appearance in popular Korean dramas like Goblin and Descendants of The Sun, this K-cafe’s Centrepoint outlet is a spacious, quiet one with ample leather couches, multiple power plugs and WiFi available with any purchase. Try the caffe latte or caramel macchiato, or go for non-coffee varieties like sweet potato latte and royal milk tea. If you’re thinking of indulging, order a bingsu for yourself (they’re generously portioned!) in flavours such as red bean, mango and cherry tomato.
