Working in Astoria on the weekend

Good places to work in Astoria/Long Island City for a few hours at a time on Sundays?

I am terrible at working at home with all the distractions around. I'm looking for a place in Astoria or Long Island City (or surrounding neighborhoods) where I can go and work for 5-6 hours on Sunday. I would really prefer if it was somewhere that had wifi, but its not a 100% necessity.

I used to hang out at Coffeed for the same reason. Has wifi and good food.

Can be a bit pretentious, which is pretty funny considering that it's in Queens.

Omonia Next Door
Il Bambino
Bakeway if it's still around
Queens Kickshaw

I haven't lived in the neighborhood in a while and can't speak to how busy they are on Sundays, but they could be worth checking. You might also try posting your question here

60 Beans just opened on Ditmars — I have not been but have heard excellent reviews.

Kickshaw I would maybe not recommend, especially on Sunday. Sometimes you can carve out a corner for a few hours and no one will bother you but sometimes the brunch rush is strong and servers get snippy.
