As great of a business hub as it is, working in an office in
Zagreb almost feels like it's a waste. You're in what is perhaps the sunniest country in the world. Even if your office has big windows, wouldn't you want to get out there instead? Working in a cafe in Zagreb is better than in an office. At the very least, you can enjoy great food as you work and immerse yourself in local life. But which cafes should you visit for this? Well, there's Cat Caffe Zagreb, Program Bar, Booksa, and Caffee Bar Strujic, to name a few.
Booksa
Booksa is more than just a typical cafe in Zagreb. It's a haven for any bibliophile living in the Croatian capital. Doubling as both a coffee shop and a mini library/bookstore, it's a fairly peaceful spot despite how popular it is. People who go here know that this is the place to read and relax. Any chatter would have to be low in volume; respectful for those who are escaping the real world through their books and cups of coffee. Now, doesn't this sound like the perfect place to work? You can easily finish anything you need to do here!

Cat Caffe Zagreb
You probably find it surprising that Cat Caffe Zagreb is on this list. Why would a place filled with cats that would happily lie down on your laptop ever be a good place to work in Zagreb? Well, you'd be surprised! Admittedly, the cats tend to be distracting if you work here. They are the main stars of the show, after all. But if you can work and pet them at the same time, then you should consider working here. The place has one of the strongest wifi among the many cafes in Zagreb. Who wouldn't want to work in such a happy and convenient place?

Monocycle Specialty Coffee
Despite how small the space is, Monocycle Specialty Coffee remains one of the best cafes for working in Zagreb. Located in the Donji Grad
neighborhood of Zagreb, the cafe is a fairly intimate spot where coffee and silence reign supreme. Its limited size surprisingly works to its advantage for those looking for a place to work outside of a typical office. If you're lucky enough to snag a seat here, especially in the second story, then you're sure to work in peace. Most customers only pop in, get their coffee, and head out.

Potter
There's no doubt that Potter is among the most popular cafes in Zagreb. From its great coffee & cakes to its whimsical interior, the place never fails to draw in new and old customers alike. Even if you
moved to Zagreb and settled down in another part of town, you're sure to check this place out at least once. When you do, why not bring your laptop over too? Go here on a weekday when it's typically quieter and you'll find that the cafe, despite its fantastical decor, is a great place to work. The wifi is strong, the seats are comfy, and the food is delicious. What's not to love?

Program Bar
Program Bar is yet another whimsical-looking cafe in Zagreb that's surprisingly suitable for working. Don't let its colorful decor fool you. This is a laptop-friendly hotspot with lots of sunshine. It's also known for its sweets, ranging from well-known desserts to traditional pastries. They all pair well with the cafe's well-brewed cups, perfect get giving you the buzz you need to continue typing away and get the job done. Do note, however, that the place tends to get busy at brunch and lunch. Perhaps you'll want to start working here in the afternoon instead.

Roses & Coffee
Great coffee and free strong wifi await those who want to work in Roses & Coffee, a cafe in Zagreb's Galleria Business Center. Though it's in a fairly bustling part of the city, the cafe itself is a peaceful oasis where you can enjoy a hot cup and some peace & quiet while you're at it. The place is known for its coffee, from its frothy cappuccinos to its zesty espresso shots. Paired with their scrumptious sweets, you've got the perfect drink and snack to help you get through your work. Of course, it helps that the cafe's wifi is fast too!

Très Chic Café
Much like Potter and Program Bar, Très Chic Café's interior design leans more on the fantastical too. Teal walls, eastern fans, and various kinds of chairs decorate the place, giving off a quirky eclectic vibe that seems more suited for hanging out with friends instead of typing away at your laptop. But if there's one to note about
working in Croatia, specifically in Zagreb, it's that spending time outside can make you just as efficient as staying in the office. Fortunately, Très Chic Café has strong wifi and even stronger coffee. If that's not a great cafe to work, then what is?
