Austin coffee shops and free Wi-Fi go hand in hand, which is important for the city’s growing team of freelancers. For the best places to grab a coffee and surf the web, whether for work, creative purposes, or just to kill time, here is Eater’s guide to coffee shops in the city that offer free Wi-Fi and outlets.

There are 24-hour spots like Epoch Coffee, coffee obsessives like Houndstooth, lakeside haunts such as Alta’s, quiet neighborhood spots like Flightpath Coffee, daytime coffee and beer combinations like Radio Coffee, and much more.

For other caffeine-related maps, there are the city's essential cafes, best iced coffees, and beer and coffee spots.

If a favorite internet-ready cafe is missing, pass it along through the tipline or down in the comments.

With updates by Nadia Chaudhury.
