Ready to churn out a good day's work? Connect to Brew Union's free Wi-Fi, grab one of their blankets and head outside to snuggle up on their heated courtyard seats. With great music coming through the speakers and greater beer on tap, Brew Union is an awesome place to work away a cruisy afternoon. Then, at the end of the day when it's time to put away your laptop, you can settle in for some post-work beersies and a wood-fired pizza. What could be better?

If you're looking for somewhere a bit quieter to hunker down, Palmerston North City Library is the place to get you in the zone.

George Street is a Palmerston North gem and home to several fantastic cafes and restaurants. One of our favourites is Barista Cafe. Complete with a huge surrealist mural that captures the eye before you even walk in, Barista is fully stocked (and licensed) with all the tasty food, coffee and teas you'll need to keep you going while you work. Living beneath the city library has its advantages, too, frequent library users can reach Wi-Fi from the cafe and connect for free.

Open Monday to Sunday 8am until late
