Working remotely in Monterrey? The specialty cafés worth a laptop session have a few things in common: a network that holds up on video calls, sockets you don't have to hunt for, and a coffee program good enough to justify a second order. This guide covers what to look for and how the community flags those places on Roasters. Roasters currently counts 30 cafés in Monterrey, #2 in Mexico.
