Guwahati is the biggest town in North East India and travellers who venture around this region, end up in this city more than once. Exploring North East India has becoming more and more mainstream and since the time the road to Myanmar has opened from Manipur, the destination has caught interest of many individuals.
Guwahati is an okayish destination for backpackers. There is only one hostel where solo travellers can stay before moving to other regions. As a freelancer, you’ll need a decent place to work from and if you can spare a few bucks for a decent cup of coffee then Uzan Bazaar is the best place to be.
Why Uzan Bazaar – You may be wondering that Guwahati being such a big city, why am I focussing only on Uzan Bazaar cafes. Well, working from Uzan Bazaar Cafes has a lot of advantages. There are multiple cafes in this area so you can go to some other place if the one you visited doesn’t have a place to sit.
Secondly, Uzan Bazaar is close to railway station and accessible from most of the hotels in the town. You can easily catch a bus or an Ola Bike, put the location of the café and reach there in minutes.
So without further ado, here are the best cafes of Uzan Bazaar from where you can work from.
11th Avenue Bistro
Probably the biggest and most popular cafes in Uzan Bazaar, 11th Avenue Bistro has big seating space so you’ll find a place easily. All the seats have charging points and they have a seating space in balcony too. It is a very freelancer favourite café in Guwahati with free wifi, nice music and ample lighting.

The café is present right next to 11th Avenue Bistro. Table Talk Café is nice if you want to finish some of your work in the morning and then leave for sightseeing.
