Cafes With Free Wi-Fi and Plugs 

It’s been about a year since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and many of us have gotten used to remote working measures. Even though we will be able to return to the office more often from 5 April 2021, working from home can still get repetitive. If you want a break from your daily scenery or gotta have those face-to-face meetings with your team or client, these cafes offering free Wi-Fi and power plugs are here to help.  

1. Dal.komm Coffee (The Centrepoint)

K-drama fans will certainly recognise Dal.komm Coffee, thanks to its appearances on shows like Descendants of the Sun. With its industrial-chic grey brick wall and concrete flooring, Dal.Komm Coffee’s outlet at The Centrepoint will be a conducive working environment for any Koreaboo out there.
