Oodi, Helsinki's central library, has an open network named "Helsinki – Helsingfors" covering the whole building, a café on the third floor and studios and game rooms on the second; some rooms need a Helmet library card and an advance booking.1

Kamppi and Kallio have the most cafés with Wi-Fi, with the rest spread from the station to the Punavuori shore. A few cafés state a laptop policy, and it runs both ways.

Local tip: Think Corner's customer service desk, on the ground floor by the entrance opposite Porthania, lends extension cords and chargers to people working in the building.3

Where these cafés are: Kallio (4), Kamppi (4), Punavuori, Ullanlinna & Eira (3), Sörnäinen & Kalasatama (2), Kluuvi & Kaartinkaupunki (2), Kruununhaka & Katajanokka (2), Vallila & Pasila (1), Ruoholahti & Jätkäsaari (1), Töölö (1).

The library and the university

Oodi opened on 5 December 2018, was named the IFLA public library of the year for 2019, and had more than 2.7 million visits in 2025. The third floor holds about 100,000 books on its "Book Heaven" shelves, and the second has recording studios and the Urban Workshop makerspace.2

Think Corner (Tiedekulma), the University of Helsinki's public building at Yliopistonkatu 4, opens its coworking spaces to everyone. The basement is given over entirely to coworking, the ground-floor Stage and Fönster areas and the second-floor Think Lounge join in when no event is on, and there are no silent zones.3 The building opens 08:00–20:00 from Monday to Thursday and 08:00–17:00 on Fridays, and the café closes at 17:00 (16:30 on Fridays); both are shut at weekends.4

Laptops welcome, laptops not

Roasberg, the café on Mikonkatu by the Central Station, invites laptops all day and says nobody will hurry you out; it opens at 09:00 on weekdays.5 Kaffa Roastery's flagship on Pursimiehenkatu is a roomy place for laptop work.6

Others draw a line. Rams Roasters near Kaivopuisto discourages laptops, and Café Esplanad on Pohjoisesplanadi keeps its tables laptop-free from 11:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and all weekend.67
