If you are a digital nomad, you know that not every city offers the best options for remote workers. However, when you find a city that does, it feels like winning the lottery (I’ve obviously never won the lottery as you can tell by this reference). Given this experience, Valencia has become an absolute hot spot for freelancers, with its welcoming atmosphere for remote work and free Wi-Fi available everywhere you go. Personally, I have always been a big enthusiast of working in cozy cafés. Fulfilling the fantasy we often see in movies where the main character sits in a coffee shop and writes a bestseller in one go. Well, my bestseller is still in the works. Regardless, I have fallen in love with working from these charming spots. Therefore, I want to present to you my top three cafés to work remotely in Valencia.
1. Place: Borja Speciality Coffee
Borja Speciality Coffee is my absolute favorite – no competition! There are several reasons why it tops this list, so let’s dive into it. First, the café has a gorgeous aesthetic interior. This not only makes for great pictures but also creates an inspiring environment for work. Additionally, the menu selection is one of the best I’ve seen so far in Valencia, offering a variety of delicious options to keep you fueled throughout the day. Conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the Ciutat de las Artes, it invites you for a relaxing stroll in the park after you’ve finished your workday.
Moreover, the reliable Wi-Fi and delicious snacks make it an ideal spot for teleworking, ensuring you stay productive and satisfied. The only downside is that it doesn’t have an AC, which can make working there during the hot summer months a bit… sweaty. Despite this, Borja Speciality Coffee remains a perfect spot for remote work due to its ambiance and location. And if you care about my personal recommendation: don’t touch the banana bread. It isn’t worth your time! Let me help you out and take that wonderful treat off your hands. Horrendous treat! I meant horrendous…
2. Place: BASTARD Coffee & Kitchen
Next on the list is BASTARD Coffee & Kitchen in Russafa. This trendy coffee shop was surely designed with teleworkers in mind, featuring a dedicated seating area equipped with numerous power outlets. The BASTARD also offers a broad menu of great food options, making it a perfect spot for a workday that stretches over breakfast through to dinner. A big plus of this café is the spacious layout which ensures a peaceful work environment, allowing you to focus on your tasks without feeling crowded by other guests.
All these features make this coffee shop a great place for remote workers. But despite its many advantages, it’s worth noting that the food is quite expesive in my opinion, unnecessarily almost, which is why it holds only the second spot on my list.
3. Place: Casa Fran
Casa Fran is a hidden spot in Valencia, quite literally so. The first time I went there, I walked past it twice, as its exterior is unassuming. However, once inside, you’re warmly greeted by the staff, who swiftly take your order and prepare it. As you might have noticed, I refrained from calling it a “hidden gem”. The reason for the avoidance of the word and therefore the reason why this coffee shop takes third and last place on this list is because I wouldn’t quite label it as a gem. The décor is simple, and the menu is limited.
BUT, that’s precisely why Casa Fran made it onto this list and not one of the other hundred cafés in Valencia. I truly appreciated its simplicity. Despite the modest drink selection, the beverages they offer are top notch and the overall feel of the coffee shop was quite peaceful. Put together, I believe it makes for a great place to work. With its central location in the city center, it also allows for an exploration of nearby sights or a joyful dinner.
As you can see,
Valencia’s café culture offers a variety of options for those looking to work remotely. Borja Speciality Coffee, BASTARD Coffee & Kitchen, and Casa Fran each provide unique environments that cater to the needs of remote workers and have everythings you need to stay productive outside the traditional office setting.
