A UX exploration for cafe-workers Remote and flexible work has pushed more people into public spaces as alternatives to home or office. For many, a cafe offers the right mix of atmosphere, anonymity, and energy.
Finding a good place to work is harder than it should be. Existing tools don't highlight what is useful for working, rarely convey the space owners views on the space being used for focus, and are often not updated reliably.
Notes "Recently, I had a few hours to spare in Barcelona and decided it would be a great chance to look through and edit some of the photos I'd taken on my trip. With no obvious work spots nearby, I searched Google Maps and found a cafe that looked promising, so I crossed town to what turned out to be a hidden gem. The place was beautiful: excellent natural light, minimal yet rustic decor, a quiet street, and from what I could tell the promise of an excellent cup of coffee. Without hesitation I ordered, took my seat, and opened my laptop, ready to edit.
As the barista brought over my drink, they politely informed me that I was welcome to stay as long as I liked. But this was a laptop-free coffee shop."
