Prufrock definitely has a work-friendly vibe. There were plenty of other people working on laptops, there are plug sockets on some of the tall tables at the front and the booths at the back and there's good wifi. 

The staff were really lovely and you didn't feel pressured to keep buying stuff in order to sit there for a few hours even though they offer table service if you're sitting in. 

The background music was upbeat but a good level where you could still take a call if you needed to. 

It would be an understatement to say Prufrock are enthusiastic about coffee. They are do dedicated that they offer barista training on-site where you can get your very own barista qualifications!

If you're a coffee connoisseur, they offer a range of blends to try out and beans to take home for home brewing if you find your favourite. 

There's a good variety of breakfast and lunch options, you can check out their full menu here. They also had some lovely looking pastries on offer if you want a snack. 

If you're not feeling something from the menu, there is a food market on Leather Lane (i.e. just outside the shop) with all the lunch options you could want from as cheap as £4.50. We grabbed something from the market and ate at Gray's Inn Square. 

If you'll need to charge up your phone or laptop, site at either the bench at the window, the tall tables at the front or the booths at the back, they're the spaces with the chargers. 

If you order a tea you get 3 "refills" with the leaves. 

As I mentioned, there's a food market on the same street which is great at lunch time but can get a teeny bit noisy around 4 when it's time to clean up. I don't think it would be enough to disrupt a Zoom call or anything but just worth noting!

Attendant Coffee Roasters Farringdon | Work-friendly cafe

This cafe is one of a number of branches of Attendant in London. They are generally more "food" focused than cafe with the tables all being set with knives, forks and menus, however, when we asked if we could work on laptops they were totally fine with it. 

There is good wifi available although you could probably only fit one laptop per table comfortably. There were two of us, so we took a table each since it was quiet. 

There was another person working on a laptop while we were there and we didn't feel pressured to move on quickly or order food. 

Overall it was a nice place to work from for a few hours, and especially good if you want an easy lunch but since it didn't have plug sockets handy and the tables were set for food, I probably wouldn't spend the whole day there. 

Attendant has plenty on offer food-wise, whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch or just a snack. You can see their full menu here. We didn't end up getting lunch here but the food looked really good and you can get a good lunch for £6 - £8. 

There's no plug sockets to charge up while you're here so make sure you come with a full battery!

There is a food market on Leather Lane every weekday where you can grab some cheap and hearty lunch if you're not feeling like sitting in for lunch. 

Attendant offers table service so there is a service charge added to your bill (12.5%).
