While a plug for every computer is a near impossibility, plenty of outlets or a power bar goes a long way. I've heard of people who hog the lone plug, not for the electricity, but because it can spark conversation with that cafe cutie looking for power. Who knew you could geek out and hook up at the same time?
Here are the best cafes in Toronto for free WiFi.
R Squared
R Squared near Queen and Palmerston tops the list because, frankly,
it's a perfect place to work. The defused natural light brightens but
doesn't glare, the many tables let individuals occupy without pressure,
the coffee is sensational, staff pleasant and WiFi signal strong. What's
more? Real food options like healthy soups and sandwiches, and enough
plugs around for you to get the charge you need to keep going for hours
without having to relocate.More »
LIT Espresso Bar
I say good luck finding a seat at the LIT Espresso on Roncey or
College, but obviously, since I can't find one someone else has so there
you go. I can understand why they camp out, with their fantastic
roasted Pig Iron beans and delish baked goods, the warm lighting great
for study, a strong signal and a few electrical outlets, who wouldn't
plug in and tune out? More »
Early Bird Espresso
There is something to be said for Early Bird Espresso starting from
the ground up. You can put in all those requisite electrical outlets and
low-slung bulbs, and floor to ceiling windows to enhance the natural
light, designing the space not just to deal with, but embrace, the
laptop-carrying crew. With a mix of communal and two top tables, the
cafe near Queen and Bathurst has done just that, coupling advances in
coffee with technology to keep the ideas and the caffeination flowing.

Seven Grams Espresso Bar
Seven Grams Espresso bar in Yorkville is an entire house, full of
options for working. The basement is like a sleek rec room with couches,
pillows and that overhead light perfect for computers, or hit another
floor for a loft experience, complete with brilliant natural light.
There is way more seating than plug opportunities, but there are some,
so just juice up before you head out, grab a chair and a tasty coffee
and wait your turn. More »
Cave Novo
Cafe Novo is like its neighbour High Park-a place for real reflection.
With ample table and chair seating, the bar ledge looking over the
park, the patio, or the armchairs in the back beside a fireplace, there
always seems to be a quiet spot to make use of their free WiFi, and
enough electrical outlets to hunker down and get some serious
uninterrupted work done. Plus you can take a walk through the park
afterward to clear your head. More »
The Tampered Press
The Tampered Press, on the northwest of Trinity Bellwoods Park, slings
a great coffee, but with all the other coffee options in the area,
they've distinguished themselves by providing a great workspace for the
computer crowd too. Large communal tables, two-tops, warm low lighting,
tasty baked goods, free WiFi and the ever-important multiple power bars
makes the Tampered Press a freelancer's paradise. More »
The Good Neighbour
The Good Neighbour combines plenty of wood, natural light, table
space, some stylish leather chairs and a beautiful fireplace, and with
its location on the Annette bike path and across from the local library,
the cafe may be the Junction's most convenient and cozy place to do
work. The must-have free WiFi doesn't hurt, nor does the delicious
Intelligentsia coffee and the selection of local baked goods. More »
The Common
Despite two locations to choose from, The Common is so popular it
might still be a struggle to get a seat, let alone an electrical outlet.
The Bloor spot is massive compared to College but both have the same
amazing coffee, charming no-fuss space, and free WiFi. I've always found
everyone so friendly and accommodating that occasionally having to pair
up with a stranger to share a table hasn't hurt the work environment,
but taken it to greater heights. More »
Cafe Pamenar
Kensington Market's Cafe Pamenar has a couple of plugs, solid tables
and chairs, and the requisite and delicious caffeine fuel to get down to
serious work. Have a panini or a cookie and you don't have to worry
about working through lunch. What really stands out about this joint
though is that you can write that essay on the back patio in the fresh
air or in winter congratulate yourself on a job well done with a glass
of wine. More »
Rooster Coffee House
Riverdale's Rooster Coffeehouse has been a beacon for the
neighbourhood since it opened, and now with the additional King East
locale, there is another living-room-like environ to haunt. The leather
armchairs make for cozy reading or scrolling through a tablet, but with
free WiFi, the mix of communal, deuce and bar perches are chock full of
laptops in high gear. The friendly atmosphere makes it easy to ask
someone to watch your stuff, allowing you to scoot over and order
another yummy latte and snack. More »
De Mello Palheta
Thank goodness De Mello Palheta shines as an alternative to the chains
of Yonge and Eglinton, or we'd be stuck at another cookie-cutter
Starbucks. Use the communal table at the front or situate yourself at
one of the two or four person tables at the back. Even with the free
WiFi the smell of the fresh roasted coffee might be enough to keep you
wired as you write, or coast on a sugar rush from those amazing pastries
by in-house Pastry Chef Danielle DeRoo. More »
