The ability to work from home is a great job perk, but we all know that sometimes, we just need to get out of the house. But where is a remote worker to go? We need reliable Wi-Fi, power outlets lest our laptops lose their charge, somewhere nice to sit, and of course, an environment suitable for working (like quiet surroundings for those conference calls!). Here are five of the best places to work remotely in Wylie, Texas.
If You Want Office Amenities and a Built-In Network: Proven Suites
Located in historic downtown Wylie (just a hop, skip, and a jump from Frankie’s Mexican Casa and Coffee at the Hub), Proven Suites is a dedicated coworking space for local workers. With all the amenities of an office space, from a conference room to a printer to super-fast Wi-Fi, Proven Suites is a well-designed space that can accommodate your work goals, whether you’re working for The Man and just need some peace and quiet, or growing your side hustle into something bigger. Another bonus to Proven Suites is the opportunity to network organically with your peers and other local professionals.
If You Like Free Things and Lots of Resources: Rita & Truett Smith Public Library
Don’t overlook the local library when deciding where to set up shop for the day. The Smith Public Library in Wylie is quiet, easy to get to with plenty of parking, and of course, free! Enjoy the library’s Wi-Fi and variety of places to sit, along with printing capabilities and all the research tools you could ever need right at your fingertips. You also have the ability to book a study room or a meeting room. Need a break? Step outside and enjoy the trails around the library (swing by the dog park if you need a puppy fix!).
If You’re Looking for Vibes: Shoemaker & Hardt
Shoemaker & Hardt is located in downtown Wylie, and it’s the place to be if you’re looking for vibes. Set up at one of the tables in the shop and knock out those emails while sipping your favorite drink. You’ll be surrounded by the aroma of coffee and candles, friendly faces, and one-of-a-kind decor. There’s also a very good chance you’ll see someone you know stopping in to grab a latte (or a scone, or both!). When you’re ready for lunch or dinner, you can head across the street to Bold BBQ Pit.
If You’re Looking for Space to Go With Your Coffee: Coffee at the Hub
Need some room to stretch out with your favorite frappuccino? Coffee at the Hub is a popular gathering spot for remote workers, with its wide tables and plenty of room to sit should you need to meet someone there. There is even seating out back, under the shade of a big oak tree, that is perfect for those fair-weather days. Coffee at the Hub is also located in downtown Wylie, so you can grab some breakfast burritos from La Joya on your way to the “office.”
If You’re on Wylie’s West Side: Armor Coffee
Armor Coffee is located at Woodbridge Crossing on the west side of Wylie. Loyal customers love the coffee and the snack choices, but remote workers will also love having speedy Wi-Fi and plenty of places to sit. You can even plan your next important meeting at Armor Coffee. The store has a charming and modern meeting room that is availalbe for rent.
