This is in response to ordinaryperson's comment but I wanted to write it as a top level answer. Working from cafes can be awesome but make sure you're not a leech. My "decent cafe' customer checklist" is the following: - Take the smallest available space (usually a table for 2 but they'll take the chair away for another table). - Buy at least 1 coffee (even the cheapest they have, espressos are usually ~2 euros) every 2 hours. - Buy lunch if possible. - Tip or write good reviews whenever you can. - Befriend workers/owner. - If they ask you to leave just leave, it's within their rights to do so. Where I live the average price of a coworking space is 200 eur/month (hot desk). That's 10 eur/day (working days only). If you stay in the same cafe for 4-5 hours (which often is more than enough) you'll probably spend less (unless you always take a MochaPumpkinSpiceChristmasEasterChocolateCherryMatchaLatte). It's really not that hard to be a decent customer. The only places I don't apply the checklist to are big chains (Starbucks, Costa, etc.). But they won't mind. I worked from countless cafes and never had a single complaint. Once I worked in the same cafe for 2 months straight. After a couple of weeks the owner would literally invite me to stay as long as I wanted without even worrying about ordering anything. Regular customers really are an asset to a small business. Plus another customer has no way of knowing how long someone was in the cafe' and he/she should be annoyed with all customers, not just the ones who have a laptop open. -- TL;DR: be a decent customer and nobody will get mad at you for bootstrapping your startup from a cafe'.
