Can you work from here?

Society Café is one of the easier Bath cafés to work from. There's room to settle in, and the wifi is free. Like most of the city's independents it fills up between 12:00 and 14:00 — arrive mid-morning or after 14:30 if you need a table for more than a coffee.

When to go

Doors open around 7:30, which makes it a genuine before-work option rather than a mid-morning one. It trades seven days a week, though weekend late mornings are the busiest stretch.
