Every nomad has that one place. The café you go to when the work is serious and you can’t risk bad Wi-Fi. For me in Canggu, it’s Zin Cafe.
Why I keep coming back
- A free coworking area, which is rare in Bali.
- A quiet room when I need to focus or take calls.
- Plugs almost everywhere, so I don't fight for a corner.
- It works well for European-hour calls in the evening.
I like it because it doesn’t feel like a performance. People come to work, the noise stays low, and I can stay for hours.
Good Wi-Fi, a quiet corner and a long table. That’s all a workday needs.
What's next
This is part 1 of a small series. I’m testing the Wi-Fi, the plugs, the noise and the call corners in the cafés I use, and sharing my own results. Part 2 is Miel Cafe, the one I always come back to.
Which café should I test next?
