Nanjing for digital nomads

Best cafes

Nanjing's cafe list balances well-known international names with smaller local spots, and the reason to track all 8 is the clock, not the logo. The earliest door opens at 07:00 on 天骄路, two counters run until 22:00, and one place on 中山南路 does not open until 11:00. A cafe that is still shut when you need it is no use to you, however good the cup. This list is built for how a visitor's day runs: coffee before a long morning on foot, a table for the laptop in the afternoon, a late cup after dinner. Every entry gives the exact street address as it appears locally, Chinese characters included, so you can hand your phone to a driver and skip the pointing. Where the source records a phone number, we give it. Where it records no hours, we say so plainly.
