About Working From Coffee Shops
Who’s Behind Working From Coffee Shops?
Hi, I’m Luke Dalton (an actual real person, not another ai bot) an SEO specialist by day, flat white snob by… well, also by day.
I run Working From Coffee Shops as a passion project turned semi-serious blog. It's where I combine my personal development, love for coffee, and the lifestyle that comes with working remotely.
Alongside WFCS, I work as a freelance SEO Specialist, where I help businesses grow through SEO. I also co-own Contact Coffee Co, a veteran-run coffee company for people who like no-nonsense coffee with a pretty big kick!

Why Trust Me?
Well, why wouldn't you, but mainly because I live this (without sounding dramatic). I’ve spent years hopping between coffee shops across the UK, working, writing, reviewing, and caffeinating. I’ve collaborated with independent roasters, tested all the major chain menus, and built this site to help others find the perfect spot to get stuff done.
I either review the best UK coffee subscriptions or quietly rank coffee menus above the big names on Google, I bring real experience, proper research, and try not to be too serious about everything I publish.
I want to create a remote working info hub, that offers useful content to users, but also a strong domain that can support business owners who want to improve their online presence.
