Back when I was in school, one guy from our building worked but never went to an office. People always said he worked nights for a US company. A few decades ago, working from home was unheard of. Thanks to COVID-19, the world suddenly realised the value of remote work. My current job as a developer advocate is completely remote, too.
Since I work from home every day, I’m always hunting for a change of scenery. I scout cafes across Hyderabad, testing them as potential workspaces. Unlike other listicles you’ll find online, I’ve personally worked from every single cafe on this list – some for entire days. You won’t find anything more authentic than this.

Best Cafes in Hyderabad to Work From [Updated May 2026]
Naad Coffee – Durgam Cheruvu
If there’s one cafe that has become the talk of the town, it’s Naad Coffee in Durgam Cheruvu. I had been planning to visit this one for quite some time, but never really made it, until today. Another Saturday and another work from cafe session. I reached Naad Coffee in Durgam Cheruvu around 9:30, and the place was already bustling with people. The upper floor with the working setup was closed, and I was told that it would open only at 12:30.
In terms of setup, the place is large and roomy/spacious. The interiors are nicely done, not too much, not too little. Loved the work they’ve done with the lights and seating arrangement.
In terms of food, I ordered a Beetroot Thecha Toast along with an Espresso Orange Spitzer, which had espresso, orange juice and ginger soda. The coffee was pretty interesting, I loved the play of flavours. The toast was also nice, and the beetroot thecha was different and good. Overall, satisfied with the food and coffee. In terms of pricing, I paid ₹920 for these two items.
There is WiFi available, but I didn’t use it. There were no power sockets where I sat, so not sure about that. The mobile hotspot was working fine. Air conditioning was apt, but there were flies and I was surprised at that. I was here at 9:30 and left around 14:00, the people came in and moved out and I’d say – based on today’s experience – that one can spend 4-5 hours without an issue.
Rithm – Banjara Hills
This cafe was a revelation for me as I don’t usually frequent this area. I was here meeting a friend and decided to drop in early and get some work done. It’s located in a narrow alley close to Aromale. The cafe is relatively new and everything “feels new” – from tableware to furnishings. The owners and the servers were there, and I had a good interaction with them. Very warm and hospitable.
I had ordered a classic Iced pour-over along with a Mexican Paneer Rice Bowl. They didn’t have cold brew then, else I would have ordered that. The bowl was pretty solid – full of flavours, veggies and Paneer – prepared and served fresh. In terms of the work setup, they have power sockets, the WiFi was decent, and so was the air conditioning. While the indoor sitting area is small and compact, the outdoor one is better, especially for evenings.
Altr Ego – Banjara Hills
This one was my most recent visit in April. Was here to meet a friend and work in the post-lunch session. The place is located fairly close to Roast CCX and is new. Like all other cafes in the vicinity, this is also in a society, so the parking can be tricky, but they have valet parking.
The space looks pretty chic – hence the name I guess. A lot of neon green, good lighting and a matcha bar, the place is refreshing. Though the ground floor seems packed and small, there’s space on the first and second floors as well. In terms of food, we tried their Mango Sticky Rice, which was heavenly! I also tried the Spiced Watermelon juice, which was refreshing.
The place can get crowded during peak hours, so getting a space can be challenging. The mobile network here is average, but they have WiFi, which worked fine. Overall, a good place to sit and work, if you want to, but it can be noisy.
Roastery Coffee House – Kokapet
The first cafe I worked out of in 2026. A regular Saturday morning, and I was here by 10. I was here for the launch, but never after that. At that time itself a few tables were occupied. Looked for a table for one and straight away ordered a Honey Cinnamon Cold Brew. The cafe is small compared to their Banjara Hills outlet. They have Wifi, but I used my hotspot, which was okayish. Also, the place is noisy – music and people (especially inside), so you absolutely cannot work on things that require focus.
Further, since it’s a popular place, sitting for hours becomes difficult as people are coming in, and there are no tables, and they look at you sitting with your laptop with an almost finished coffee. While they don’t tell you to leave, you get the vibes. I ordered a couple of coffees and a sandwich, billed for about Rs900, but had to leave in about 3ish hours. So for long working hours, I’ll avoid this on weekends.
Roast CCX
Roast CCX stands out as Hyderabad’s biggest cafe, sprawling across 60,000 square feet with a capacity for 500 people. Located in Banjara Hills, right across from Roastery Coffee House, this flagship venture from the Roast family offers an entirely different experience from their Gachibowli outlet.
The multi-storey setup caters to different needs, with the ground floor being where all the action happens. What makes it exceptional for work sessions is the sheer space – you won’t be asked to leave during busy hours. I spent 7 hours there once, from noon to evening, working and catching up with friends without any hassle.
The facility features state-of-the-art coffee equipment and even offers free cafe tours where you learn about coffee brewing processes. With ample seating, reliable power outlets, and the same quality food I love from Roast 24×7, it’s perfect for extended work sessions. The pricing is reasonable, and you can easily spend an entire day here productively.

PS Cheese Cafe
PS Cheese Cafe is among the few (if not the only) places that make their own cheese, bringing the concept of artisanal cheese to Hyderabad. Located in Madhapur, this unique spot combines fresh, in-house-made cheese with quality coffee backed by Roastery Coffee House.
The cafe can get busy with 30+ minute waits, especially on weekends, but it’s worth it for the experience. They offer valet parking, which is helpful since the road was under construction during my visit. The bright yellow and white building houses Hyderabad’s first cheese factory, where they make everything from cream cheese to feta and parmesan.
For work sessions, it offers a comfortable environment with a good network and charging plugs. To add to this, their knowledgeable servers can guide you through their cheese offerings. The coffee quality is guaranteed since it’s backed by Roastery Coffee House. Expect to spend around ₹2500 for two people, making it a premium but worthwhile option for special work-from-cafe days.

Roast 24 x 7
Roast 24 Seven in Hyderabad has a nice vibe, is good for work, and offers a variety of tasty food. You can choose between indoor and outdoor seating, and there’s even a spot for smokers. The coffee area is cool, with lots of desserts to check out.
They have plenty of seating, power plugs, and a menu that covers Indian, Mediterranean, Japanese, and Italian dishes. Just a heads up, the WiFi is decent for work, but the mobile network might not be great. Despite that, Roast 24 Seven still makes for a pretty good place overall.

True Black
True Black has multiple outlets across Hyderabad, and I’ve worked from their Loft location in Hitech City. The space is cosy and spacious, making it initially appealing for work sessions. The coffee quality is good, the food options are decent, and the overall vibes are pleasant.
However, there are some challenges during peak hours. The cafe can get crowded super quickly, and that’s when you realise the tables feel outnumbered by the crowd. During busy periods, you’ll also notice that power outlets aren’t as abundant as you’d like for a work session. It’s a decent option for shorter work sessions, but I’d recommend visiting during off-peak hours for the best experience.
Katha Coffee
Katha Coffee & Bakehouse in Banjara Hills and a new outlet in the Financial District hopped onto the speciality coffee bandwagon, offering experiences similar to Subko but arriving on the scene earlier. This place focuses on speciality coffee and artisanal blends, catering to the growing coffee culture in Hyderabad. The also recently opened a brand new outlet in Knowledge City Sattva, next to Monastry.
The concept revolves around being a place where people can share their stories, passion, and coffee, featuring multiple areas for live music performances, open mics, and movie screenings. The setup is diverse and full of photos and art, making it visually appealing for work sessions.
For anyone looking for a place to work, Katha Cafe & Bakehouse can be a good option with a good network, seating and power plugs, along with cheerful staff and good service. They offer various speciality beverages, including dark chocolate mochas, cold brews, and unique options like Kashmiri Kahwa and Rose Cold Brew. Finding the location might be slightly challenging, but the experience makes up for it. Expect to spend around ₹1200 per person for a good work session with food and drinks.
PS: I worked half a day from their Financial District outlet recently, and it was okay. I didn’t use their WiFi and sat outside as there was some event going on inside. However, outside is a smoking zone, so that kindof ruined it for me. They have small working tables inside, but it felt too cramped.
Read my detailed review of Katha Coffee & Bakehouse.
The Big Star Cafe
This is the last cafe I visited in 2025. Had passed through this place multiple times but never got a chance to sit inside. The cafe opens fairly early, as per Google and stays open until late too. I was here around 10, and there were a few people already here. The Big Star Cafe is spacious and has ample tables inside, while there are a few tables outside as well if you want to sit outside.
I chose a table inside, and the vibes were pretty good. The music was nice, the AC was good, and so was the service. I tried their Yuzu Peach Cold Brew, and it was quite good. Though a little pricey – Rs 340. The Wifi here is good, and most tables along the wall have a power socket, making it a good place to sit and work. There’s valet parking or self-parking in B1/B2, and that’s a good thing if you plan to drive here.
Overall, a good cafe to work from, I spent about half a day here, and it was a good experience. It’s lively, with good music and coffee. I’ll come back again sometime to experience the food. But quite satisfied with the place as a work-friendly cafe in Hyderabad.
Last House Cafe
Last House Cafe, situated as the last house before Durgam Cheruvu, stands out for its tranquil residential location. The inside is charming and equipped with multiple charging sockets, making it a haven for work or relaxation. With reliable WiFi and a strong mobile network, it’s a tech-friendly spot. The menu, though not extensive, now includes both coffee and food.
I recommend trying the unique Caramel Popcorn Coffee. Whether you’re settling in with a book, a laptop, or just soaking in the ambience, Last House Cafe offers a conducive environment for work and enjoyment. It’s a gem for those who appreciate the blend of productivity and leisure in a cafe setting.

Brews & Blends
Brews and Blends beckons with its array of inviting spaces – cosy corners, coffee table setups, high chairs, and plush sofas, making it an ideal spot for extended work or leisurely coffee sessions. The comfortable seating allows you to settle in for hours, perfect for focusing on your work or taking those important calls.
Don’t miss their unique cold brew selections like Sunrise, Matinee, Sunset, and Twilight, featuring tantalising flavours. While the WiFi ensures a reliable work environment, be cautious of the mobile network. Offering reasonable prices, Brews & Blends is a perfect escape for those seeking a conducive space for work.

Roastery Coffee House
While Roastery Coffee House tends to be bustling, it’s a must-visit for its uniqueness and distinct offerings. The ambience invites you to linger, providing the perfect setting to savour your coffee, dive into a book, or simply unwind.
The blended coffees, including the delightful Coffee Mojito, are a treat for the taste buds. Despite the occasional noise, it remains a decent spot for work. Although it’s been a while since my last visit, from what I recall, Roastery Coffee House is a suitable place for meetings and work sessions based on its overall atmosphere

Subko
Subko Hyderabad, established last year at Sattva Knowledge City, stands out as a speciality coffee roaster brand, offering an array of exquisite blends and freshly ground coffee. The diverse coffee options might be overwhelming for a casual coffee enthusiast like myself. The spacious venue comprises multiple rooms, providing ample seating for work or leisure.
Subko features a dedicated work-from-cafe setup, complete with plug points, desks, chairs, and WiFi. While the daily working plans, starting at Rs 1500, include a Rs 800 food redemption, the pricing might be slightly on the higher side for daily use.
Third Wave
Third Wave Coffee, a chain of coffee outlets with multiple locations in Hyderabad, including the one at Sattva Knowledge City, has become my go-to spot. Frequented by a bustling crowd engaging in work, meetings, and more, it’s an ideal space for productivity.
My preferred spot, equipped with charging points at almost every table, ensures a seamless work experience. While I can’t vouch for the WiFi, the mobile network is reliable. Although I haven’t sampled their food offerings, the citrus cold brew is my consistent favourite. Whether crafting presentations or completing blog posts, this outlet has proven to be an excellent workspace.
Starbucks
Located adjacent to Third Wave Coffee, Starbucks boasts its iconic setup and an appealing menu. With a typical Starbucks ambience, it serves as a conducive work environment. The venue provides reliable WiFi and mobile network connectivity, making it convenient for various tasks.
Ideal for both work sessions and casual meet-ups, Starbucks offers a familiar and comfortable atmosphere. The diverse menu caters to different tastes, ensuring a pleasant experience for visitors. Whether you’re looking to work or simply enjoy a cup of coffee, Starbucks, with its reliable connectivity and inviting ambience, is a reliable choice next to Third Wave Coffee.
Cravery Cafe
If there’s one place that has the best Mac & Cheese in Hyderabad, it has to be Cravery Cafe. With their original outlet in Banjara Hills and another one in the Financial District, it has become another cafe that I frequent a lot.
The financial district outlet is quite bright and has lots of natural light coming in, making it a good place to work from. They have high chairs/desk setups as well, where you can work from, but not all of them have a power outlet. They have WiFi, but I haven’t used it; the hotspot and network work fairly okay.
You can spend a decent amount of time working from here with your favourite coffee or my favourite Mandarin Cooler, along with a Mac & Cheese while you work. Having said that, please remember that the place can get a little crowded and hence noisy. But otherwise a good work from cafe in Hyderabad.
Aromale
One of the popular places that is in the heart of the city, but still isn’t the type is Aromale. A place that is known not only for its food and coffee but also for events in the city. From stand-up comedy shows to pop-ups, Aromale in Film Nagar has a lot of events.
About working at Aromale, it’s a good place. It’s rather quiet, especially in the afternoons. I have spent almost half a day working from here and didn’t quite find any major issue, except that power outlets are limited. They have WiFi, which I didn’t use, and relied on my hotspot, which fared well.
The food and coffee are good, I was there with a friend and tried their Pineapple Cold Brew along with a few open toasts and loved it.
Naomi Pattiserie (Closed May 2026)
Nestled in the serene Jubilee Hills, Naomi Patisserie and Bakehouse, welcoming guests since December 2022, has quickly become a talk-of-the-town spot for those seeking a productive work environment. The bungalow-turned-cafe emits calming vibes, offering both outdoor tranquillity and a cosy interior with Greeky charm.
With reliable WiFi and mobile network connectivity, it’s an ideal place to work and focus. The newly opened Banjara Hills outlet adds to its appeal. The menu, crafted with love, features flavorful Mediterranean delights, including standout pizzas. Amplifying the experience are delightful desserts and signature drinks – making Naomi Patisserie a perfect haven for work and enjoyment.
Read my review of Naomi Patisserie and plan your working day.
Cove (Closed May 2026)
Cove Cafe in Madhapur offers a charming space for both outdoor and indoor seating with ample power plugs, making it convenient for work or leisure. The hotspot used worked fine, providing a reliable internet connection.
The café serves some delightful dishes worth trying: the Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl impressed with its delicious look and taste, the Peri Peri Paneer Sandwich had a spicy kick but was tasty, and the Melon Drip Cold Brew – watermelon combined with cold brew – was refreshing. A standout was the Jamun Cold Brew, a unique and much-loved addition.
Cove Cafe combines a cozy ambiance with flavorful offerings, ideal for a relaxed visit or productive work session. The parking is on the roadside, which could get a little busy.
Where are you working from next?
