Dose
This cafe is a great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch meeting. But be warned: due to its proximity to a multitude of West End office complexes, it can get packed at peak times.

Pinewood Social
This massive everything-in-one restaurant/bar/work space is possibly the best wifi spot in the city. And if you like alcohol with your coffee, look no further, with Crema pouring the caffeinated fuel with or without that extra pick-me-up.

The Frothy Monkey
This is one of the city's most reliable cafes, offering a range of breakfast, lunch and dinner along with its selection of coffee. And while it continues to expand its locations, the 12 South original is still the favorite.

Ugly Mugs
Tucked back in a hopping little retail strip in East Nashville is this quirky little cafe. The wifi is reliable and it's got one of the best outdoor seating areas of any coffee shop in town.

Slow Hand Coffee
This food truck gone brick and mortar is a welcome wifi spot in SoBro. Settle in with a cup of coffee and one of pastry chef Audra Dykes' creative offerings. But do note, it closes at 3:30 p.m. most days and is not open on the weekends.

Eighth & Roast
This Eighth Avenue coffee shop is a great place to pop in for a caffeine fix and settle in with your laptop. But do note--the free wifi times out after a few hours, so this is a spot to wrap up some quick work rather than spend all day working on a paper.

Steadfast Coffee
This Germantown coffee shop offers open booths and plenty of outdoor seating, so bring your laptop and take advantage of the free wifi while you enjoy that cup of joe. Big plus: there's beer here.

The Family Wash
This all-day restaurant, coffee shop and music venue is one of only a handful of spots on the east side that offer free wifi. It's also one of the few places you can drink a beer while knocking out your work.
