Your Go-To Map for Medellín’s Top Coworking Spaces + Cafés

Whether you’re diving into family admin or tackling work to-dos, I’ve crafted a handy map of some of Medellín’s most recommended coworking spaces and coffee shops. With the growing number of remote workers in Colombia—whether on digital nomad visas, students eager to improve their Spanish, or adventurous families—this map is tailored for:

• Moms: The endless list of kids’ appointments, extracurriculars, and personal tasks can be overwhelming. Treat yourself to a cozy spot with a cup of tea or coffee, where you can enjoy some peace and fresh air.
• Digital Nomads: If you’re seeking reliable Wi-Fi and a sense of community while exploring the city, this map is for you!
• Remote Workers: Need a change of scenery from your home office? Find your ideal workspace here.
• Entrepreneurs: Discover networking opportunities and professional meeting spaces that can help you grow your business.
• Students: Look for study-friendly cafés with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

This map will help you:

• Save Time: Quickly locate coworking spaces and cafés nearby.
• Plan Your Day: Choose a spot near you or an area you’re interested exploring based on amenities like Wi-Fi speed, ambiance, or even coffee quality.
• Explore Medellín: Uncover hidden gems in neighborhoods like Laureles, Poblado, and Envigado.
• Boost Productivity: Find spaces that suit your work style, whether you prefer quiet nooks or lively social hubs.

I’ll be honest—I’ve only visited a few places myself. My mornings are packed with calls, leaving me a small window to work before picking up my oldest from school. This list compiles recommendations I’ve gathered over the past couple of years, and I’m excited to try more as my schedule permits. It’s definitely not complete, and I’m always adding to it!

Bonus Tips

• Peak Times: Expect some cafés and coworking spaces to get busy during peak hours (10 AM – 2 PM). Plan accordingly!
• Cultural Etiquette: Tipping is appreciated —usually around 10%. In touristy areas, servers may ask if you’d like to include gratuity: “¿Te gustaría incluir el servicio?”
• Booking Requirements: Many coworking spaces require advance booking. WhatsApp is life – check their website or instagram to contact them directly.
• Special Discounts: Keep an eye out for promotions on monthly coworking passes or loyalty programs.
• Noise Levels: If you have a call-heavy day ahead, opt for a coworking space over a café for a quieter environment.
• Mall Culture in Colombia: It’s vibrant and quite different from the U.S. Here are some malls that feature coworking areas equipped with Wi-Fi, comfy chairs, and plenty of outlets:
  • • Centro Commercial El Tesoro (El Poblado)
    • Centro Commercial Santa Fe (El Poblado)
