Top 5 Coworking-Friendly Cafes in Isola
For when your meetup is also a meeting.
Finding a good spot to meet a friend is one thing.
Finding a spot where you can also open a laptop, use reliable WiFi, and not get dirty looks is another.
Isola is the perfect neighborhood for this, and here are our top 5 picks.
1. Deus Café
A classic Isola spot. It has a great courtyard, good WiFi, and a relaxed vibe that's perfect for working. It can get busy, so aim for off-peak hours.
2. oTTo
Known for its signature "quadrotti" (toasted bread squares with toppings), oTTo has a bright, Scandinavian-inspired interior and communal tables perfect for a work session.
3. Tipografia Alimentare
A little more off the beaten path towards Naviglio Martesana, but worth it. It's a cafe and natural wine bar with a chill daytime atmosphere that's great for focus.
4. Co-working at Stecca 3.0
Okay, this is a dedicated co-working space, but it's located right next to the Biblioteca degli Alberi and offers day passes. Perfect for a serious work meetup.
5. Frida
A quirky bar and shop with a large, leafy courtyard. It's more of a bar, but during the day, it's a relaxed and inspiring place to work or have a casual meeting.
Why Isola is a Great Midway Choice
Isola is served by the M5 (Isola & Garibaldi) and M2 (Garibaldi) lines, plus the main Garibaldi train station.
This makes it an incredibly accessible meeting point for colleagues or friends coming from all over the city.
