The Best Coffee Shops in Windhoek for Remote Work: Where to Bring Your Laptop and Get Things Done

Windhoek, Namibia's bustling capital, is home to a growing number of coffee shops that offer a unique blend of great coffee, delicious food, and work-friendly environments. For digital nomads, remote workers, or anyone simply looking for a cozy space to work with reliable WiFi, Windhoek’s coffee spots won’t disappoint.


"Hello, I’m Christine. My love affair with Namibia began 14 years ago, in 2010, during my first safari adventure. Since then, the country has never left my heart. Over the years, I’ve written a book about Namibia, hosted photo exhibitions and countless safari adventures. Eventually, I founded WildWifi, the country’s first digital nomad community and coliving space in Windhoek. In this blog I want to share my experiences and insights with you, hoping to inspire you to discover Namibia—a hidden gem awaiting your next adventure as a digital nomad." - Christine Bay, Founder WildWifi Coliving Namibia

Here’s a list of some of the best coffee shops in Windhoek to work from, all offering strong coffee, welcoming atmospheres, and excellent WiFi.


 

👩🏽‍💻 The Village Garden – Cozy & Convenient with Board Rooms



The Village Garden is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a community hub. With board rooms, weekly yoga classes, events and a market every Sunday, it's ideal for freelancers and remote workers who appreciate a lively, creative environment. The Village offers dedicated seating for remote workers, complete with plenty of power outlets to keep your laptop charged at all times. Just a short walk from WildWifi Coliving Space, The Village Garden offers a menu full of delicious and healthy options for breakfast and lunch. Enjoy the convenience of working close to home while enjoying a peaceful, garden-inspired atmosphere. Personal recommendation: Try out the homemade and refreshing Rooibos Ice Tea.


 

🥯 Krisjans Bistro – Welcoming Bistro with Great Food & Atmosphere


With both indoor and outdoor seating, Krisjans Bistro is a perfect spot for anyone who enjoys working in a welcoming, relaxed space. The bistro is known for its friendly staff and delicious menu, making it a great choice for grabbing a hearty breakfast or lunch while you work. The stable WiFi ensures you won’t have any interruptions, and the bistro’s inviting vibe makes it easy to settle in and stay productive for hours.


 

🥗 Olivia’s Kitchen – A Haven for Vegetarians & Vegans



If you’re in the mood for healthy, plant-based options, Olivia’s Kitchen is a must-visit. Their menu is filled with vegetarian and vegan-friendly choices, not to mention a selection of

delectable cupcakes and desserts for a sweet treat while you work. The ambiance is modern and buzzing, not making it the most quiet place for calls, but definitely an environment with a vibe. Olivia’s Kitchen’s reliable WiFi and the best red cappuccino (rooibos tea turned into cappuccino without caffeine) in town have earned it a spot as a favorite for remote workers and food lovers alike.
