As summer winds down and the kids are back in school, it’s time to trade in those beach views for a different kind of oasis — one where Wi-Fi flows as freely as the coffee. But who says you have to go back to your same old home office setup?
Baltimore is bursting with vibrant spots perfect for remote work, whether you need a cozy corner to focus or a lively atmosphere to spark creativity. So close that laptop on your kitchen table and let’s explore the best places in the city to get back to work — minus the at-home distractions.
Mindpub Cafe
- 554 E. Fort Ave.
With rustic charm and plenty of electrical outlets, this two-story cafe in Riverside is ideal for off-site projects. You can plug in and power through your tasks while sipping on expertly brewed coffee and teas.
Grab the secluded couch if you’re lucky, and when the workday winds down, switch gears with one of the signature cocktails, crushes, beer or wine. Working here feels more like a retreat than a grind, especially with a homemade pastry at your side.
Pure Raw Juice
- 1401 Riverside Ave.
Pure Raw Juice in Locust Point is the perfect blend of wellness and productivity. This bright, plant-filled space offers a serene atmosphere, with a less crowded upstairs area for focusing.
Fuel your day with superfood bowls such as the Electric Pink, packed with vibrant ingredients including pitaya, banana, apple juice, blueberries, mango and bee pollen. Pair it with a cold-pressed juice, and you’ll be working like a superhuman all day long.
Catalog Coffee
- 914 W. 36th St.
On Hampden’s lively Avenue, Catalog Coffee invites you to get your assignments done in style. With garage doors that open to a refreshing breeze, you’ll find it hard not to feel inspired.
Start your day with an egg sandwich or the breakfast banh mi, and stay for lunch with the Players Club sandwich — layered with pan-seared chicken, brown sugar and soy-glazed bacon, avocado, pickled jalapeño, roasted peppers, baby spinach, lemon aioli and spicy cito sauce. Whether you’re caffeinating with coffee, espresso or matcha, Catalog Coffee ensures your day is anything but dull.
Morning Mugs Coffee
- 15 W. Hughes St.
Hidden away in Otterbein, Morning Mugs is a gem for remote workers with a playful twist — guess the right coffee sleeve color, and your next visit is discounted!
Start your morning with the hearty breakfast burrito, or indulge in fall specials such as a classic pumpkin spice latte or the Jack O Lantern, cold brew topped with pumpkin-spiced cold foam. With a new location in Locust Point slated to open in mid-September, Morning Mugs will soon be expanding its cozy charm.
Good Neighbor
- 3827 Falls Rd.
Hampden’s Good Neighbor feels like working from your best friend’s home — if your best friend had impeccable taste in interior design, coffee and sandwiches.
The menu is as thoughtful as the space itself. Try delights such as the chicken salad sando, made with 48-hour brined, pulled chicken, chipotle greens and curry mustard, or the PB&J made with house tahini and seasonal jam with a sprinkle of coffee dust. Sip on Japanese-style iced coffee, and get inspired in this welcoming environment that celebrates community with every cup.
Bark Social
- 3822 Boston St.
Bark Social in Brewers Hill is the ultimate remote work spot for dog lovers. Why leave your pup at home when you can bring them to this canine-friendly cafe?
With craft beer, cocktails and tasty bites such as brisket nachos and cauliflower tacos, you’ll be as happy as your furry friend. Don’t have a dog? No problem. Bark Social’s lively atmosphere makes it a great spot to get through your to-do list, with or without a four-legged companion.
R. House
- 301 W. 29th St.
R. House in Remington is a bustling hub perfect for telework with a side of culinary adventure. With diverse options such as tacos, pizza and gourmet ice cream, you won’t run out of delicious choices to fuel your day.
Take a break with shuffleboard, or enjoy the expansive outdoor patio. When the day’s work is done, R. Bar in the center is calling your name for a well-deserved happy hour.
