A trip to one of these cafes is just what you need for the perfect productive day!
A freelancer’s life isn’t easy. As a writer, designer, or any creative professional, your surroundings, ambience, and the overall environment play a huge role in both the quantity and quality of the work you produce.
Maybe you’re bored of working out of your room, and you’re looking for a change. Or maybe, you just need access to a cafe for professional meetings and the like. Either way, we’ve got you covered, and here’s our collection of the best Mumbai cafes to work from!
1. The XVII Tea Room

2. The Bagel Shop

6. Cafe Zoe
With numerous offices in and around Lower Parel, Cafe Zoe is one of those places where you’ll always find a formally dressed professional furiously typing away on their laptop.
