So useful! Thanks!
Awesome list, thanks! One edit: wifi at the Blue Shirt is free with a $5 purchase (they rotate the passwords)
Post updated–thanks so much!
Obviously not Somerville, but the Harvard Square Business Association provides free wifi that covers most of the Harvard Square area.
It’s really great if you want to work outside.
Good to know, I hope to expand this to include places in Cambridge soon!

Free
On the Hill Tavern

Thanks Courtney, I’ll add that in!
I wonder how much business would increase if places offered free WiFi? I’d like to see the results of a well advertised pilot program.
I’d love to see that too! Personally I know I’d be more likely to go work in a cafe if it had free Wi-Fi, but from what I understand it’s pretty costly for the business to host Internet for a large number of people, which is likely why many places charge for it.
Cool list. Recent update – iYo now gives you 2 hour passwords with purchase.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll update the post!

Please remember that if you are doing your work in a public place the rest of the public is allowed to be there too. Remember it is a public cafe and not a private office.
