Accra can be lively, energetic, and let’s be honest sometimes a little overwhelming. But if you know where to go, you can always find a calm corner to focus, study, or get some work done. Whether you’re a freelancer, student, or simply looking for a change of scenery, here are ten spots in Accra that balance good coffee, reliable internet (or connect your hotspot), and a welcoming atmosphere.
1. Café Kwae (Airport Res. Area)
Known for its stylish yet cozy interior, Café Kwae is a favorite for both business meetings and solo work sessions. Their fresh juices and sandwiches make it easy to spend a few hours here.
2. Tea Baa (Labadi)
Who remembers the old Osu at Ako Adjei??? Well they are back! Tea Baa has still that relaxed vibe that works well for casual study sessions. It’s also a nice spot to meet others who enjoy creative and community spaces.
3. Vida e Caffè (multiple locations)
With several branches across the city, Vida e Caffè is a safe bet for consistent Wi-Fi and coffee. Perfect if you like a busy background energy while you type away.
4. Jamestown Coffee Company (Osu and East Legon)
Trendy and buzzing, this spot is ideal for those who love a bit of atmosphere while working. Plus, their specialty coffee is among the best in Accra.
5. BaseCamp Initiative (East Legon)
Not a café but a creative co-working hub, BaseCamp is a great option if you need a more structured working day while still enjoying a community atmosphere.
6. D’Café (multiple locations)
A reliable choice across Accra, D’Café offers a mix of good coffee, pastries, and simple meals in a relaxed setting. With several branches, it’s convenient to pop in for a study session or casual meeting wherever you are in the city. The atmosphere is calm enough to focus, but lively enough to feel connected to Accra’s café culture.
7. NourishLab Smoothys (Osu)
Affordable, colorful, and cheerful. Great if you prefer smoothies over coffee while studying or meeting friends. It’s a very popular smoothie bar on Oxford Street. Also great for “watching people” and experiencing that “Accra vibe”.
8. Sunshine Salad and Bar (Osu)
Bright, fresh, and healthy, Sunshine Salad and Bar is a refreshing option if you prefer lighter meals while working or studying. The setup and colorful menu create an easy-going vibe, making it a nice alternative to the usual café scene.
9. Kukun (Osu)
Combining a café, art space, and co-working vibe, Kukun attracts creatives and professionals alike. A lovely choice if you like inspiration with your workspace.
10. Theia Coffee House (Airport Res. Area)
Of course, we can’t leave Theia Coffee House out of this. We host our monthly Just Read Book Club here, and it’s also a great spot to get some work done or just enjoy a cup of coffee and some cake or a meal.
