Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 9 October 2026 and 10 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Where do you set up a laptop near Lower Plenty? This page covers four places in and around the suburb: two cafes in Montmorency, one in Templestowe, and the library in Eltham.
The commute comes first, so each entry gives the suburb. Then come the published facts: listed Wi-Fi, listed hours and printed prices. We could not find a published laptop policy for any of the three cafes, so ask before you settle in.
Each place was checked against at least two independent sources, including its own website, AGFG and council pages.
