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 on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Looking for a cafe near Highett to get some work done? This page covers four, two in Moorabbin and two in Cheltenham. None is inside Highett itself, so check the commute first.
We only report what is published. One cafe has a free-wifi listing, two have hours printed on this page, and none states a laptop policy that we could find.
Each place was matched against two independent sources.

The Tradesman Cafe — 260 Wickham Road, Moorabbin VIC 3189
AGFG lists Free Wifi for The Tradesman Cafe, and it is the only place here with that listing. Its site lists hours as Monday to Friday 06:30 am to 2:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 07:30 am to 2:00pm. AGFG also lists alfresco dining. The site carries no recent date, so confirm hours before you commit a day to it.
Laptop policy: We could not find a published one; AGFG lists free wifi and nothing more.
Sana Coffee — 33 Ambrose Avenue, Cheltenham VIC 3192
Sana Coffee is at 33 Ambrose Avenue, Cheltenham. Its site lists Monday to Friday 7am to 2.30pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am to 2.30pm. We found no wifi or laptop statement, so nothing is claimed on either. The site is undated, so hedge on those hours.
Best for: A weekday start from 7am, going by its own listed hours.
Toast It — 7 Tuck Street, Moorabbin VIC 3189
Toast It’s site lists 2/7 Tuck Street, Moorabbin, and AGFG agrees. We print no hours for it, and found no wifi or laptop policy. That makes it a call-ahead option rather than a plan. The site is undated.
Commute: The site lists a Moorabbin address, so check the route from Highett before you plan around it.
Drip — 88 Chesterville Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192
Drip lists its courtyard as covered on its own site. AGFG lists alfresco dining and takeaway. We found no wifi or laptop statement, and this page states no hours for Drip. Its menu prints drink prices, which helps if you plan to sit for a while.

- Brekkie Burger: $14.00
- Toast: $8.00
- Orange Blossom Hotcakes: $21.00
