I’ve never understood the desire to work from a coffee shop.
The furniture is usually hard wood and uncomfortable, the table height is not set for working so you’re hunched over your laptop, you don’t control the thermostat so it’s usually too hot or too cold, there’s liquid spills and sticky surfaces and crumbs everywhere, you usually have little space to yourself, there are other people talking and kids, etc., you have no privacy, you can’t get up and stretch your legs (or go to the bathroom) without leaving all your stuff behind or packing it up, etc.
Unless your home is a cardboard box under a bridge it’s probably a better place to work than a coffee shop. What’s the appeal?
If you work from home all the time, the occasional change of scenery can be nice.
Personally I work from cafes only once a week, and only for maybe 90 minutes at a time. I live in an area with a lot of cafes, so I switch it up each week and rotate through them. Some have better coffee, others have a better environment.
Lately the chains like Starbucks and Panera have become absolutely awful. Those are more like your description above. But the independent ones are usually better.
