A guide to some of the many cafes in the city that offer free wifi. From cosy corners with great coffee to sunlight couches at the local library; take your pick for the next time you’re sick of studying in your dorm room, or the conical library of TU Delft.
DOK
The DOK Concept Centre is library, art gallery and café rolled into one. There’s free wifi available to visitors throughout the building. The library itself is huge, and you can find just the right corner for yourself. There are long work stations overlooking the canal on the ground floor and red satellite sofas among the bookshelves on the second floor.

Stads Koffyhuis
Overlooking the Oude Kerk, this café has warm wooden interiors and a great view. “We guarantee to have food (and coffee) on your table within six minutes. So, if you’re really hungry, this is the place,” said Julian De Randamie, the Head Chef of the café. The board outside proudly announces that they offer wifi. “We also have a range of slanting beakers designed with the theme of the tilting old church in mind,” said Randamie. While you’re here, sample the Delft Leaning Cup- served in a slanting cup – the drink has layers of hot chocolate, coffee and milk with cinnamon (€3.50).

Kaldi
A small café tucked between apparel stores on Mols Avenue, Kaldi is another wifi-offering café that should get your academic juices flowing. Known for its speciality teas and exotic coffee blends, Kaldi is best enjoyed on a sunny day, when you can grab the table right next to the canal. The wifi is an open network, so if you’re settling down for a while, order a large cappuccino (€3.25). The fresh brew will keep you awake and alert for the toughest algorithm.
Cup of coffee: €2.10

Coffee Company
If you’re one of those who need a little noise to concentrate, then this is your best choice. This three floor establishment is always crowded, but there are plenty of seats and sofas to choose from. Until 2014, the wifi access was limited to an hour per order, but now all you need is the password from the barista. The coffee options range from caramel cappuccino (€3.20 for a small cup) to a funky monkey bambino (€3.30 for a small cup) and they carry a whole range of baked goods.
