While you might associate River Market as busy and not at all condusive for work, the mornings in particular are perfectly relaxed. The seating is plush, the views are great and it's the ideal spot for a much-needed food break.

*We recommend: a warming cup of tea from Great Wall Tea Company.

#3 The Coffee Bar

The new-ish coffee joint is another foolproof option for completing that last minute assignment. Find solace at one of the individual tables or work alongside others at their long wooden table in the middle.

* We recommend: one of their gluten free energy bars for a guilt-free snack.
