15 Best Cafes to Work From in Tbilisi

One reviewer comes here in the morning for a filter coffee and back in the evening for a cold lager, which describes the room as well as anything. It's a casual, cosy bistro on Shalva Dadiani with a bar onsite, Wi-Fi on the listing and solo dining as its most popular use. Come here when you want somewhere that works with a laptop at lunchtime and still works with friends at night. Open 10 AM to 11 PM with no day off, and Google puts a visit at 20 to 30 GEL.

The pitch here is a calm work session, and it comes from the cafe itself. This is a women-owned room on Lado Asatiani with free Wi-Fi, quiet listed in its atmosphere and Google's tag for working on a laptop. Classical music on a record player is what 20 review topics land on before they get anywhere near the food, which tells you the volume in here. Hours are 10 AM to 8 PM every day, dogs are welcome, reservations are taken, and 10 to 20 GEL covers it.

The seating decision here is made by whoever gets there first. There is 1 table outside, and everything else is downstairs in a basement that one reviewer describes as quiet, which is the quality that matters when you have brought work with you. Sali is a coffee shop on Anton Katalikosi rated 4.8 from 816 Google reviews, open 9 AM to 9 PM every day. The move is to arrive early enough for that outdoor table, since there is exactly 1 of them.

Come here on the day when the noise everywhere else is the problem. Rituals is a matcha bar and coffee shop on Tsinamdzghvrishvili with a pilates and yoga studio behind the same door, sold on daily and monthly passes, so a stuck afternoon has somewhere to go. The drinks list runs espresso, cappuccino, flat white, cold brew and Raf before it reaches the matcha latte it actually wants to sell you, and vegan milk goes in any of it. Doors are open 9 AM to 8 PM, every day.

The shelves here are for sale as well as for reading, English titles among the Georgian ones. It's a cafe and bookshop off Beglar Akhospireli with a small cinema screening films most evenings for 10 GEL a ticket. Google tags it good for working on a laptop, quiet, and popular with solo diners, and one reviewer noticed that the other customers were speaking softly. Come here when the last hours of a deadline need to happen somewhere other than your flat. It opens 11 AM to 11 PM daily, takes reservations and lets dogs in.

Pick this one on the day your laptop battery is the deciding factor. It's a basement Coffee Bar on Aghmashenebeli run by a group of young Georgian friends, with a work area that has a power outlet at every seat. The rest of the listing reads the same way: free board games, karaoke, complimentary coffee candies, and decaf and alternative milks at the same price as the standard ones. Rated 5 from 114 Google reviews, it opens 10 AM on weekdays and 11 AM at weekends, and closes at 9 PM.

Behind the McDonald's at Rustaveli metro there is a courtyard with a fruit tree, and in it a third wave roastery that one reviewer says they work from almost every day. Black Cup is women-owned, roasts its own coffee, and has free Wi-Fi, a patio and a price band Google puts at 1 to 10 GEL. The listing marks it quiet, LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safespace, the crowd is students and tourists, and dogs are allowed. It runs 10 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week.

This one is small, and it does not pretend otherwise. Craft Coffee is a sidewalk cafe on Kote Afkhazi with tables out on the pavement, Google's laptop tag on its listing and a price band starting at 1 GEL. It sits on a busy street, so the seats to aim for are the extra tables in the yard that one reviewer describes as secret. Doors are open 9 AM to 10 PM every day, which covers an early start and an evening session both.

Caffeine by WorkIn says what it is in the name, and the listing backs it up. It's a coffee shop on Pekini Ave that Google files under good for working on laptop, quiet and cosy, with free Wi-Fi and a restroom. One reviewer counts the practical bits: a big table, cosy corners to work from and power outlets. This is the room for the 3 hours of real work you keep putting off, and it opens 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week.

You're awake at 7 AM with a deadline and nowhere to take it, which is the gap Daily Grind fills. It sits on Kote Afkhazi St in Old Tbilisi, a coffee shop whose own listing keeps the pitch short: not in competition for ratings, just a good cup of coffee. Reviewers flag 2 things before the coffee: the cold brew refills are free for the rest of that day, and you're not to take phone calls at the table. Treat it as a heads-down room.

Some cafes put up with laptops. This one is written for them: its own description pitches business professionals, office teams and client catch-ups, and Google files it under good for working on laptop. It's the Chavchavadze Avenue branch of Coffee Lab, and reviewers call it hidden from the noise of the avenue, calm enough to study in, with seating inside and out. Come here when the meeting needs a table and the table needs a kitchen. The doors are open 9 AM to 11 PM, every day.

The Little isn't being modest about the name: its own Instagram calls the place tiny, a bit tricky to find and hidden in the city greenery. It's a specialty coffee house on Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue, and the description it writes for itself is a list of methods: micro-lot roasters, alternative brewing, V60 and Aeropress. One reviewer's pick is the mini-park outside, a lounge chair under the pine trees. It suits 2 hours with a book and a laptop, and the machine runs until 11 PM.

Work outside for once. Cafe Mziuri sits at the entrance to Mziuri Park, calls itself a social cafe and runs events alongside the food. Google gives it free Wi-Fi, a laptop tag, outdoor seating and a room it files as quiet and cosy, and dogs are allowed inside and out. Its listing counts cosy atmosphere 60 times, friendly staff 65 and peaceful 9. It's open 10 AM to 10 PM daily, and 1,754 reviews in, the place is no secret.

Cafe Museum opens at 11 AM and shuts at midnight, which makes it the pick when your working day starts after everyone else's has finished. It's a cafe on Vakhtang Orbeliani St, tagged for solo dining and laptop work, with outdoor seating, a bar on site and a listing that reads casual, cosy and quiet. One reviewer leads with the balcony over the river and prices they call reasonable. It takes reservations, so an evening table is something you can book ahead.

Cafe Verde doesn't open until 12 PM and doesn't open at all on Mondays, so it belongs to the afternoon end of this list. Set on Elguja Amashukeli St, it's a cafe with free Wi-Fi, a free parking lot, outdoor seating and a listing that reads quiet, cosy and romantic. The garden takes 5 mentions on it and the city view another 7. One reviewer lists what's for sale alongside the coffee: decorative trees, citruses and other plants. It runs to midnight, Tuesday to Sunday.
