Heads up: Lisbon cafes are too crowded for work now. It wasn't like this five years ago.

Remember thinking it was just me being picky lol. Tried working from a spot in Principe Real last Tuesday and literally every table was taken by 10am. The noise level alone makes it impossible to focus now, which sucks because I used to get so much done there.

Actually found a quiet corner table at that exact spot last Thursday around 11. Sure it gets busy, but the background hum helps me focus more than my silent apartment. I just use noise canceling headphones and get into a good flow state.

Doubt it's that bad everywhere. Grab a coffee before 9 and you can usually find a spot. Kellycraig, maybe you just hit a bad day or a super popular place.
