I feel the same way. I need a change of environment in order to be fully productive. Whether it's a cafe next door or an office, doesn't matter as long as it's not my home.

Have you tried the library?
Personally I noticed it help me if I did my usual routine but instead of going to work I'd go work at home. What I mean by this is that i'd wake up at my normal time, wear actual work clothes and fully prepare myself like I'd usually do going to the office. Gets my head in the right space.

I tried that but quite frankly, it's enormously dangerous: libraries are not meant to be a workplace and as such, for example, there (usually) is an explicit exclusion of responsibility in case of stolen goods.
Basically, if you work from the library and your work laptop gets stolen, it's only your fault, cannot blame on anyone else.
And that's right, in my opinion.
At least coworking spaces usually provide some kind of storage (lockers for example).

Maybe I'm paranoid but I never leave my laptop behind in the car or in a coffee shop to go to the bathroom. Given how much access you might have to different systems.... Could be very painful. Maybe that's psycho. But would do the same at the library.

My library is a no-go in my opinion. They have meeting rooms, sure, but each 6-8-person room is occupied by one college student studying alone. So its share a table with strangers or nothing.

Do they not have communal tables out in the open?
