Busan's Best Work Cafe

A cafe designed for work. Unlimited coffee, high-speed WiFi, ergonomic seating, and no time limits. This is how a work cafe should be.

Work cafe at BASE21 Busan

Finally, a Cafe Built for Working

We've all been there—sitting in a cafe, trying to work, but the WiFi is slow, there are no power outlets, the chair is uncomfortable, and you feel guilty about staying too long without ordering another drink. BASE21 solves all of these problems.

BASE21 is Busan's premier work cafe, designed from the ground up for remote workers, freelancers, and digital nomads. We combine the comfortable, social atmosphere of a cafe with the professional infrastructure of a coworking space. The result? A place where you can actually get work done while enjoying unlimited coffee and a relaxed environment.

Located in Gwangalli, just minutes from the beach, BASE21 offers the perfect balance of productivity and lifestyle. Work in comfort, take breaks by the ocean, and join a community of like-minded professionals who understand the remote work lifestyle.

I've been looking for a proper foreigner-friendly co-working place, and glad that I finally found it. Good vibes, nice snacks and drinks, even protein shakes! Cheap parking a few minutes walk from the place that only requires a little hike to go back, but that's great for health. No worries, Base21 is also right next to a subway station and busstop.

MotionDesk is great. Just bring your laptop. If it's near my house, I'll be back often.

The location isn't bad, being super close to Geumnyeonsan Station and near Gwangalli. Parking isn't inconvenient either, as the Suyeong Cultural Center is within a 5-minute walk. But best of all, even though it was my first visit, the foreign owner greeted me kindly, and the welcome from the customers made it a cozy place for someone like me who loves crowded places. It seems like the perfect spot for Busan residents or workers who have trouble concentrating at home or want to chat with others. And as for the price... need I even say it?
