Saint Louis Coworking

I work out of an office but have been helping my boyfriend with a side business for ice cream catering. St. Louis Coworking has become invaluable for us to be able to drop in for client tastings or just for a quiet place to work for a little while. The space itself is huge and open which just gives it such a natural, friendly air to the office. It’s nice to have the option of an office that we could pay for a desk at or pay to drop in as needed and the community of people renting spaces at Coworking are fantastic and welcoming.

Checked this out at an open house earlier this month. I work from an office, but if I worked out of my place, I’d definitely try this place out. It’s a huge space with various sized cubicles and a very open atmosphere (and a great view). It was nice that there were a lot of current clients there who could give us real-​life testimonials to how the place works… and they all love it.
One of the best features is that there are a bunch of options for your membership. You can get anything from drop in privileges to your own dedicated space. There is also a nice sized kitchen, conference area, and a tv area.
For those who work out of the home (like many friends of mine), you need to check this out!

I visited St. Louis Coworking for the first time today, and I was thrilled to see how well these folks have put their ideas into action. The space has a very urban feel to it — something that I don’t see enough of in St. Louis.
Their pricing structures seem really reasonable for the amenities they offer (including Friday morning pancakes, apparently, as well as wifi, copier, fax, endless fresh coffee, and lots of natural light and great city views).
The space offers monthly member rates as well as drop-​in day rates for folks who need a good workspace and wireless on their stop off in St. Louis.
If I were in a work-​from-​home job, I’d strongly consider a monthly membership here. I strongly suspect that this space will be the birthplace of some impressive St. Louis partnerships and business ventures, as creative and entrepreneurial minds share space and rub elbows at St. Louis Coworking.

For those of us who work from home in our PJ’s (or sometimes even less!), having a reliable spot to get work done is a must! Some find solace in coffee shops or a library, but those aren’t always the best places to get ‘r done.
Enter Saint Louis Coworking, which opened up last week downtown!
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, it’s basically an office away from home for freelancers/​creative types/​self-​employed peeps. Here, you have all the amenities of an office without having to pay retail prices for those services.
Just like a gym or spa membership, coworking spaces have different levels of services and pricing. At Saint Louis Coworking, $ 400/​month will get you your own desk where you can leave stuff behind and not worry about calling King’s X or dibs on that spot again. For $ 300 you can share a big desk. For $ 100/​month you can have a «drop in» membership, where there are desks, couches, tables at your disposal. All of these come with Wi Fi, coffee and printing privileges.
I stopped by here twice this week! Once to just get out of the house and get some work done. Anyone who works from home will attest to the fact that being alone all day can drive you batty! And I came back yesterday for a meeting… which seemed much more professional than having the person come to my house and risk being attacked by my crazy cats. Could we have met in a coffee shop? Sure, but then we would have felt obligated to buy some food/​drink. At the coworking space, that wasn’t an issue.
Coworking spaces are popular in other cities all over the U.S., so I hope this one sticks around!
