If you’ve ever closed a deal over a latte or powered through emails at your favorite café, you’re not alone. Coffee shops have become the go-to workspace for remote professionals, and now, three Georgia spots have been named among the best in the country for getting work done.

✨ The Big Picture: Coffee shops aren’t just for caffeine fixes anymore. For remote workers and business professionals, they’ve become the modern office. And according to a new national ranking, three coffee spots in Georgia are among the best in the country for getting work done.

📝 What’s Happening: A survey of 3,013 business executives and remote workers by MarketBeat.com identified the top coffee shops nationwide for remote work. Georgia made the list with three standout locations:

  • Iron Bank Coffee Company in Columbus (#24)
  • Portrait Coffee in Atlanta (#48)
  • Trellis Coffee Bar in Augusta (#76)

These shops ranked for their strong Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, atmosphere, and of course, great coffee.

🏡 Why It Matters: Remote work has reshaped how and where business happens. While traditional office spaces have declined, coffee shops have stepped in as productive workspaces for freelancers, remote employees, and even executives striking major deals. Whether it’s a casual client meeting or a heads-down work session, the right environment makes all the difference.

☕ A Closer Look at Georgia’s Best:

  • Iron Bank Coffee Company (Columbus) – Located inside a historic bank building, this café offers a mix of specialty coffee, fresh pastries, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for working remotely.
  • Portrait Coffee (Atlanta) – Known for its mission to celebrate Black and Brown culture through coffee, Portrait Coffee is a popular spot for unique drinks like the “Aunt Viv” latte and the “Champ” cold brew with cereal milk.
  • Trellis Coffee Bar (Augusta) – This specialty café serves Onyx Coffee Lab brews in an elegant setting with murals from renowned artists, comfortable leather couches, and a peaceful work-friendly vibe.

💡 The Trend: The pandemic may have accelerated remote work, but the shift was already happening. Coffee shops have become key places for digital nomads, small business owners, and corporate teams looking for flexible meeting spaces.

🔄 National Standouts: While Georgia is well represented, the top-ranked coffee shops include:

  1. Bad Bunnies Coffee – Charleston, SC
  2. 787 Coffee – NYC, NY
  3. Big Island Coffee Roasters – Hilo, HI

The full list features 145 coffee shops across the U.S. recognized as top spots for getting work done outside the office.

If you’ve ever closed a deal over a latte or powered through emails at your favorite café, you’re not alone. Coffee shops have become the go-to workspace for remote professionals, and now, three Georgia spots have been named among the best in the country for getting work done.
