Good places to work remotely in Downtown Annapolis?

August 30, 2023 6:54 AM

I'm looking to work from 11am to noon tomorrow and take a (non video) call. WIFI. can be outdoors. Any good hotel lobbies that won't be too busy? Or quiet coffee shops? Or gardens? I arrive at West and Calvert so anything super close to there would be ideal. Happy to pay up to cost of a sandwich.

What about the library? It's open Monday - Thursday 10 am - 9 pm and Google Maps says it's a 23 minute walk from West & Calvert.

I haven't been back since COVID, but I generally found Annapolis a very friendly spot. As above, I always love the library. But:

Coffee shops nearby; hours vary so I'd check that. As a possibility, their website claims that 49 West is "Annapolis' Living Room."

Parks nearby; "The People's Park" is literally 100yds from the intersection in question!

Hotels nearby; I've heard people say The Graduate is nice, but I can't personally vouch one way or the other. It's only a block or so from the intersection you mentioned.

There's lots of seating outside The Iron Rooster on Pinkley Street, and it's open at 8 AM. Don't know if it's super-quiet, it's not on the main drag though.

Best answer: Brown Mustache Coffee is great, and has a generally quiet garden out back. Any of the nearby Rise Ups are good too.

It's been 20 years since I lived there, but 49 West was definitely Annapolis' Living Room back then. Great coffee shop, and very close to West and Calvert.
