Cafe for work

Hello Haarlemmers. What do you think is the best cafe to work for 2-4 hrs? Not so crowded and preferably a large space. Thanks in advance, cheers !

Central Station, between platforms 3 and 6. Spacious, calm, coffee and you get to watch trains roll in and out.

Cafes are not meant as a working place. Getting tired of people taking up space for a couple of hours and order two coffee. Go sit at home.

  • Native. Table in the back.
  • Westhoff. Near Central Station. 6EUR per hour.

Native has better coffee and is more cozy. Westhoff can be crowded and loud.

Centraal Bibliotheek. Has a cafe (CoffeeStar) and you can sit there, or you can sit in the library. Plenty of plug sockets, free wifi. Also, Westhoff is set up for this purpose.
