Is Duck & Waffle a good spot for coffee and working on my laptop?
Hey everyone!
I’m on the lookout for 24-hour cafes in London where I can pull an all-nighter and get some writing done on my laptop.
Duck & Waffle seems like a popular option, but I’ve never been there and I’m unsure if it’s more of a restaurant or a casual spot for coffee and pastries. Plus, I’d like to know their stance on laptop use.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Hey there!
Duck & Waffle is definitely a popular spot, known for its great views and signature dishes! While it’s primarily a restaurant, they do allow people to come in for coffee and pastries during off-peak hours. However, I’ve heard that it can get quite busy, especially on weekends, and the atmosphere leans more towards dining than working. There may be other patrons dining or socializing, which could be distracting if you’re hoping for a quiet space to focus.
As for working on your laptop, I would recommend being courteous and checking with the staff about their policy on extended stays and using laptops. Some guests use it as a working spot, but it’s not the most traditional cafe atmosphere for that purpose.
For 24/7 cafes in London, here are a couple of suggestions:
The Breakfast Club – While not fully 24/7, some locations open very early and stay late, and they have a good vibe for working.
Open House – This spot is open 24 hours and is a great choice for coffee and food. It has a relaxed atmosphere that’s more conducive to working.
VQ – They have a few locations that are open 24/7. It’s a diner-style setting with decent coffee and a varied menu.
I hope this helps, and good luck with your writing sessions!
Absolutely Worth a Visit!
