Best Wi-Fi cafes in the city

Ah, these days of the glorious spring sun. And serious dilemmas. I don’t wanna be holed up in my stiff and starchy office cubicle while the warm carefree molten sunlight beckons But then, do I really want to be Working From Home in my threadbare PJs either?

Wi-Fi cafes

So I figured the perfect February Day Out. Me and my laptop, out on a date. All we need is a cuppa joe, a big sunny window, and uninterrupted Wi-Fi access. (Plus a market with ample opportunity for an impromptu get-up-and-go shopping spree, if that ain’t enough!).

And here’s a roundup of the best spots in the city to do that:

Market Cafe. The only cafe in the city that lets you browse for free, provided you run up a bill of 200 bucks. Which is a cakewalk, considering their bruschetta with feta cheese on walnut bread has just such brilliant munchie potential.
8, Khan Market, Middle Circle (opposite Khan Chacha’s), Ph: 41757703-04. Timings: 11 am to 11 pm.

Cafe Coffee Day. For a phones-switched-off, high caffeine-intake day of serious website-surfing, head to their CP outlets, where for 250-rupee internet coupon, you can access more than 4 hours of the net.
N-11, Outer Circle, Opp Scindia House, N-Block, Connaught Place, Ph: 64638610. Timings: 10.30 am to 11 pm.

Barista. Silver nosepin and trinket-shopping to bookend the browsing at the only Barista cafe in the city that lets you browse for as little as 30 bucks (at the rate of a rupee a minute). Add the extra pleasure of oozing chocolate centre of the Double Chocolate Muffin, and lo! you’ve discovered cyber bliss.
M Block Mkt. M-43, Part-I, Greater Kailash, Ph: 41635792. Timings: 9 am to 11 pm.
