22 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/varanasi·27 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Terracotta near Assi is frequently suggested for coffee and laptop work. Several commenters name it in work-cafe discussions; one specifically likes it for longer sessions, while another praises the Wi-Fi. Reports conflict: a former regular stopped visiting because of unreliable Wi-Fi, a limited menu and music that made calls difficult. Two other commenters describe a decline from earlier visits, and another strongly dislikes it. A separate commenter likes the cafe but cautions about smoking. It is a well-supported option for working, not a promise of quiet or dependable connectivity.
