If you join the millions of people who work remotely, you suddenly face a surprising question: where should you work?

As a remote worker, the world becomes your office. Yet, most people either stay in their home or trek to their favorite coffee shop every day. A home office or beloved cafe are great places to work—but if you switch it up sometimes, it up can help you channel new inspiration.

When you go to work in a new city (or even a new neighborhood), it’s helpful to find some new, creative workspaces.

If you need to shake up your work routine, try one of these cool locations.

A Late-Night Bakery

Over the last few years, lots of major cities have jumped on the “midnight bakery” train. This trend started with a cookie delivery chain called Insomnia Cookies—its target demographic was college students. Since then, many late-night cookie companies and bakeries opened up to compete.

These businesses usually offer chill nighttime hangout spaces as an alternative to bars and restaurants. And for the remote-work crowd, they can be ideal places to set up shop. You likely won’t have to compete for a table or deal with large, disruptive crowds. And the fresh-baked goods certainly don’t hurt.

The Library

Libraries offer quiet, work-friendly environments, and the vast majority of them also have free Wi-Fi. In addition to lots of tables and chairs, some even have private rooms where you can set up your temporary office.

One drawback is the internet tends to be slow. If you don’t do a lot of work online, though, this won’t be a problem.

To bump up the studious atmosphere, you can work in a college library. You don’t have to be a student. Many college libraries are open to the public either all the time or during certain hours of the day.
