Tbilisi is an up-and-coming digital nomad destination with a low cost of living, amazing blend of Asian and European culture, vibrant dining scene and plenty of travel opportunities. As digital nomads need to stay connected to the internet, almost every restaurant, pub, or cafe has free Wifi. However, some of them might not be a perfect place to get your job done. Thus, we present you the very best spaces in Tbilisi you can work from.
Double B Coffee & Tea, located on a touristy pedestrian street near Freedom Square, is a small peaceful place where you can enjoy unusual coffee flavors while you work. Their coffee menu offers lychee latte, citrus, lavender, vanilla, coconut and almond flavors, to name a few. Prices here are quite reasonable despite its central location. The food menu is limited, but they do sell small dessert-like snacks to keep you going.
Hidden behind one of the arches at Rustaveli Avenue, Prospero’s Books and Caliban’s Coffee House is a combination of a bookstore and a coffee house that offers a tranquil atmosphere full of the scent of coffee, comfortable furniture, outdoor seating, and snacks. The wide variety of English language books and the friendly atmosphere make this place a favourite. Besides, it’s also a great place to meet fellow expats and digital nomads.
Impact Hub Tbilisi, a co-working space at Fabrika, offers a wide variety of amenities and services. This membership-based co-working space is a great spot to meet freelancers, local entrepreneurs, and fellow digital nomads. To make you feel welcome in their community and a new city, they organize small parties occasionally.
There are two Book Corner Cafés in Tbilisi and both are great for working purposes. Both have a homey atmosphere, but the one in Dedaena Park is cozier and brighter, as the walls are made of glass. It overlooks Mtkvari River, offering beautiful views of the other side of the city. If the weather is warm and you don’t want to sit indoors, they have a small terrace right along the river. Wifi is steady, the menu is diverse, and you can stay here as long as you’d like. They are open until the last customer leaves.
Similar to Book Corner Cafe, there are two branches of Moulin Electrique, one in Fabrika and one at the very center of Tbilisi, near the Meidan Square. The latter was the first, and a favourite of locals. Tucked behind the busy street, the venue offers outdoor and indoor seating, breakfast and dinner and decent coffee. However, it gets crowded from late afternoon. Thus, you’ll have the morning and afternoon to get the job done in order to join the evening fun here.
Vere Loft is another co-working space in Tbilisi offering creative design and a comfortable atmosphere. Similar to other co-working spaces, you can meet both local and foreign professionals in various fields. Like Impact Hub, Vere Loft is a membership-based space.
If you like cafes designed in vintage style, then Café le Toit is the place to be. Floral patterned wallpapers, chandeliers, high-back comfy chairs, and fresh flowers create a cozy, homey atmosphere where you can sit back, enjoy your food and catch up on work peacefully. Here, you can have a wide variety of coffees from around the globe or try something from their brunch or lunch offerings if you plan on staying longer.
Mediathek is a modern version of a public library, and one of the best places to to come and work. You can browse their book and document collection at the venue. Like any library, you need a membership card to use its facilities. Membership costs 16 Gel for a six-month period. You can come here from Tuesday to Sunday and work from 11 a.m till 9 p.m. Note that they are closed on Mondays. If you get hungry while working, the second floor has a cafe that serves decent food.
