What do you think about people working from cafes these days?

Depends on individual, but can stimulate creative juices with all the surrounding stimuli.

I typically have productivity spurs of about 2-3 hours. Perfect to order 2 drinks and some food. Growing up with parents that had a restaurant I can see the annoyance regarding people who order 1 small coffee and stay for 7 hours, even if the cafe is empty. So definitely a "make sure both parties benefit from the arrangement" kind of situation.

I don't mind as long as it's efficient work. Sometimes a change of setting can help someone be more productive.

A shift in work culture, blurring the lines between personal and professional spaces.

Depends on personal preference and the nature of the work. Some find it energizing and inspiring, while others find it distracting.

I love them, I’m one of them ))

It's up to the cafe whether they allow it. I could never work in a cafe, though. I prefer some privacy when I work.

I could never work from a cafe, too much distraction!

Dont really mind it if the cafe is empty. Gets annoying when the cafe is packed and you are trying to find a seat...

Well, I have mixed feelings about it. If you do it because there is no other place to work ( you work remotely, there is no coworking nearby, there is something wrong with wifi in your place), then it's okay. But I know some people who do it just because it's "cool", then sorry, it's not cool. Sometimes I want to have a coffee and there is no place to sit because of people with their laptops. And some of them don't even work, just chilling, and it's annoying.
