Yokohama for digital nomads

Best cafes

Yokohama drinks its coffee in two registers, and any list worth using has to hold both. One is the port city's taste for elsewhere: a Hawaiian cafe that grills burgers next to its savoury pancakes, a pancake house that opens at 10:00 every day of the week, and a coffee counter named for Honolulu. The other belongs to the working city: a station cafe that unlocks at 07:30, a sandwich stand that serves until 22:00, and a roasting workshop in the 231-0821 postal area. This list is for the visitor who plans a day around where to sit as well as what to see. Each place is here because its address does something the name alone would not tell you, and where a familiar brand made the cut, we say plainly why this particular door earned it. Check the clock before you set out, because several close early: one at 14:00, another at 17:00.
