Ready?!
A local favorite in Limpertsberg, Ready! is very popular (and packed) at lunchtime, but you can always find a place in the mornings and afternoons. Their food is delicious (we’ve already raved about it in our brunch article). The repurposed furniture creates a relaxed atmosphere to help you hunker down and get working. I have written an entire novel at Ready?! – need I say more?
The wifi password changes weekly, so ask for a printed receipt for the latest code.

Downtown
Downtown is a trendy but relaxed café with outdoor seating, couches and comfy chairs around coffee tables. They’re known for their bagel sandwiches at lunchtime, but if you have a morning sweet tooth, their muffin selection will also bring a smile to your face. It’s also a good place for people watching. A steady stream of shoppers and tourists pass by on the walking street between the Gëlle Fra and Place d’Armes.

Konrad Café & Bar
Konrad is a cozy café with quirky furniture tucked away on one of the old town’s cutest narrow cobblestoned streets. Once a month the cellar is transformed into a comedy club, but most days you’ll find Luxembourg’s expats making their way to Konrad for coffee or lunch in an old town atmosphere. Each day there’s a different Thai curry, but you’ll also find enormous slices of quiche, soup, sandwiches, meat pies, and American-style cookies.
Where: 7, rue du Nord, L-2229 Luxembourg (map)
When: Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 01:00

Beim Renert
Tucked away in a back corner of Place Guillaume between two of the walking tunnels, Beim Renert is a favorite with Luxembourgish locals. A recent renovation resulted in a small but beautifully designed space with extra tall shelves that require a library ladder to reach the loftiest libations. The extra high windows let in lots of light and offer a view over the bustling square. On warm days most people sit outside on the terrace.
The name of the café is a reference to the fox statue in front of the glass bridge at city hall, which is a tribute to Luxembourgish author Michel Rodange. Look carefully and you might find other references to the sly fox stashed away inside the café.
Where: 20, place Guillaume II, 1648 Luxembourg (map)
When: Mon: 10:00 – 15:30; Tuesday – Saturday: 10:00 – 01:00

Café Littéraire le Bovary
Read our extensive review of Le Bovary, Luxembourg’s only literary café, then go there and write!

Come to the café ready to write…leave with a healthy dose of inspiration.

Kaale Kaffi
Kaale Kaffi is a concept store that combines a small retail space for the sale of vintage clothing with a quaint, tiny café.

Golden Bean
Golden Bean is a coffee-centered café with two locations in Luxembourg—a small, narrow space in the city center and a new, lofty space in the up-and-coming Belval district of Esch-sur-Alzette. There are a lot of outlets available on the main floor of the Belval location to keep you charged while you work. If you visit Belval, take a stroll through the University of Luxembourg’s new main campus in an industrial site that has been reimagined as an academic, cultural, and community hub.
