Ideal for: Catching up on emails

Bean & Brush Cafe puts family first, so it’s not necessarily a quiet choice for a place to work in Sale. However, in term-time, you can often find a corner to work in without much distraction. Their new home in Stanley Square is brighter and airer than its predecessor on Hayfield Street too.

Ideal for: An escape from the home desk

The Coffee House Sale

Thanks to the sheer size of The Coffee House Sale, you’re highly likely to find a seat to work from. With very reliable Wi-Fi, a good amount of plugs and hard-backed chairs, you won’t need to slouch when working. If you find yourself there at lunchtime, their paninis come highly recommended too!

Ideal for: If you want to spend serious time working remotely – it is spacious enough that you don’t tend to take a seat from others.

Us Four Coffee House and Bar

Sale's favourite American-themed coffee house is a great place to work, especially during the week when it's a little less busy. Settle into a booth at Us Four and enjoy their free Wi-Fi – it’s the ideal spot to get emails done, refuel and move on quickly. It’s especially useful if you’re heading to the tram afterwards too, as it’s just above Brooklands tram stop.

Ideal for: About an hour to 90 minutes of work.

Working from a coffee shop in Sale?

Here are some quick etiquette rules to live by:

Buy something – and reorder often

Sounds obvious, but if you’re going to set yourself up to work from a Sale coffee shop, make sure you order something. And if you’re going to be hanging around for a while, reorder often.

Travel light

When working from a local cafe, you should travel light: a laptop, plugs and a notebook should be all you need. Take headphones too if you’re planning to listen to music or work on anything with sound. Also, keep your belongings close and don’t spread out over multiple tables – especially if the cafe is busy.

Don't take long calls inside

If you know a phone call is going to be really short, take it at the cafe table. Otherwise, go outside or reschedule the call for another time. A cafe might be your workspace at that moment, but it’s not your office – and plenty of other customers are just there to enjoy a relaxing brew. And they probably aren't that interested in the inner workings of your 9-5 (sorry!)

Try not to overstay your welcome

We know from experience that all the cafes on this list are very welcoming to those looking to work from their tables. But they also rely on open tables to serve more customers, so try not to push your luck. If a person walks in and sees that there are no open tables, they might take their business somewhere else.

If your preferred coffee shop starts filling up with people as the day goes on, take that as your cue to leave and free up the space for new customers to enjoy.
