Laptop Lounge

Even though I am not a member yet, I have been to Laptop Lounge multiple times on different occasions and every single visit was personally enjoyable and professionally useful.
For example, for the first time in my life I have attended meetings of Mastermind Group which was well organized by Leslie and Victor and successfully conducted by inspiring Live and Business Coach Tom Pearson.
I have also benefited from Contractors Coach session and Marketing tips seminar, Networking events and free Wednesdays (once a month).
Laptop Lounge with friendly staff and professional management, great location in the downtown Walnut Creek is one my favorite places.

I had a two-​hour workshop here and was not impressed whatsoever, I found the customer service and the presentation to be mediocre. I was bored.
Before I decided to attend the event, the organizer actually called me to confirm my attendance. I hadn’t been in the Bay Area long enough to know the surroundings and where this place was located, so I inquired about parking, location, etc. The organizer was a bit on the snooty side, at least that’s how I felt. I asked her more about the event and let her know I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it due to other obligations.
She proceeded to say, «Well if you’re not interested in growing your business, then maybe this workshop isn’t for you.» I thought that was a pretty rude statement to make, people do have lives outside of workshops.
I ended up attending the workshop only to realize it was a waste of my time.
Not only was there not enough parking in the lot, there wasn’t a lot of street parking and it was metered. The workshop didn’t have an end time on the invite so you were risking getting a ticket since there is a two-​hour time limit on the meters in this part of Walnut Creek.
The workshop ended up being a waste of time for me, as it was about contractors in the construction circle, not about being a freelancer, that kind of contractor. Not too mention, the meeting room the workshop was held in was too small for a number of people who attended. The workshop itself was very introductory and the office staff was just not that friendly. I couldn’t see myself returning since you’d have to watch the clock and move your car every two hours, that’s not a good use of my time for work, very inefficient type of working space.

I love this place. Everone is friendly and there are lots of contacts to be made. It is a professional environment to meet people or a great place to get your work done without facing your breakfast dishes and unfolded laundry.

I joined the Laptop Lounge because of an obnoxious neighbor who made getting things done in my home office difficult. What I discovered is that working out of Laptop Lounge not only improved my productivity, it helped my business grow.
The contacts I make at the Lounge’s networking events are invaluable.
Because I now have a place to host after-​hours events, I’ve created an entirely new aspect of my business — a writing lab that gives people several hours of writing time in a quiet environment with good chairs and enough plugs.
The relationships I’m building with my fellow members provide a great source of information, support, and referrals I can offer my clients.
Beyond a doubt, my membership at Laptop Lounge is one of the best investments I could make in my business.

We used their conference room for interviews for my company. We needed a central location and I don’t have an office space. Leslie was very professional and polite and gave us a nice tour of the office and how everything worked. The space is neat, quiet, and clean.

I recently had the pleasure to tour Laptop Lounge and was thoroughly impressed! They offer a full-​service and convenient solution for professionals on-​the-​go. Leslie, the community manager, is not only courteous but has a strong business acumen that comes in handy supporting her clients.
The facility is equipped with high-​quality, ergonomic & stylish office furnishings, access to the latest technology, all in a warm and comfortable environment. The atmosphere promotes professional collaboration with a good energy, without all the clamor and distraction of a coffeehouse. Voted Best of the East Bay, Laptop Lounge is THE place to be for quality coworking! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

I just took a tour of Laptop Lounge after not having been there in a while.
First, great location in downtown Walnut Creek with lots of nearby parking. Second, they have all the right amenities for a solo-​preneur to expand their horizons and get away from the home office routine. Wireless internet. Plenty of desks, workspaces, chair and couches. Meeting rooms. A kitchen area. Dedicated desks with drawers that you can fill with your own stuff. Mailboxes (use this place as your business address) And a receptionist /​professional phone answering service for the busy professional or salesperson.

I have facilitated five executive meetings in the Laptop Lounge conference room over the last few months. This is a great venue which is very central and has all the amenities needed. It’s quiet and the conference room has a large monitor for projection. The staff is extremely accommodating, even flexing their hours when I needed it. Leslie Reitzes has been a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them for your remote office and receptionist needs.

I just wanted to update my review here since it’s been about a year and half since I last wrote about the Laptop Lounge.
I have been a daily user of the Laptop Lounge for the past year and a half and I can confidently say that I owe a lot of my business’ success to them. It has been my gateway into the local business community (through providing services like Mastermind and other monthly events) and has given me a place to meet and talk with other local like-​minded business owners.
I would still recommend it to anyone!

My wife and I welcomed our first child in August 2015 and while I’d much rather stay home all day and hang out with our son, I needed a place to go where I can focus. Laptop Lounge offered a better, more flexible package than the competition in town and the customer service team led by Leslie Reitzes is top-​notch!
I work in the Open Lounge and I also enjoy the ability to hop into a phone booth to make private calls. I just upgraded my membership so that I now have access as early as 6am to get on calls with my company’s east coast team without waking up our baby at home.
If you live in the Walnut Creek area, the location is ideal. I bike to work and use the trail to get here. It’s also close to the WC BART so if I have to head into the city for a meeting, I can easily do so. Starbucks is right next door, too. But most importantly, I have that separation from home to focus on work and get things done. Highly recommended!

I’ve been a member for only three months but I’m thrilled with Laptop Lounge. For one thing, the facility is organized to be convenient and comfortable. I’d like to invite the office manager from my old company here to see how you run an office right — like keeping a clean and well organized kitchen, having a comfortable place for private phone calls, and friendly, helpful office managers. I also appreciate the diversity of workspaces available. Most of the time I sit in a cubicle but later in the day I might want to lounge back in a nice leather chair or stand up at a stand up workstation. As a plus, the people are friendly, the background noise is perfect for me… just enough to let me know that I’m in a workspace, and the location in downtown Walnut Creek couldn’t be better. When I need to open my own office, I will model my open workspace after the one designed here at Laptop Lounge.

I have been a member of Laptop Lounge for over two years now. At first, it was because I needed a professional space to meet with clients and have an address other than my home address to receive mail. It was a nice bonus that membership also included free or reduced admission to their many classes held each week. This is a great place to meet and network with other entrepreneurs, to collaborate, to hold each other accountable to bounce ideas off each other and to grow your business. Whether you need a private office, a conference room, or just a quiet space to get work done, Laptop Lounge has it all. I love the little phone room. It has easy access to freeway and public transportation, plenty of parking, close to downtown and several opportunities to network and party after hours.
It’s great having a place to go to get work done. Come down, let Leslie give you a tour, meet the most friendliest receptionists, and see just how more productive you can be in a space dedicated to helping you succeed.

Hey Unilocalers. If you’re looking for a place to get some work done in a quite environment with the ability to make private phone calls, this is the place for you.
Leslie and the receptionist are wonderful.

I’ve had a business address/​mailbox with Laptop Lounge since 2014, and I love it! I don’t need to work there, just get my mail, and have my company registered at a business address, instead of my home or a PO Box.
Laptop Lounge has plenty of services, but I only pay for what I need. I used to use executive offices, but found that they charged for everything! Leslie, the community manager, and the front desk receptionists are always friendly and will call me if any mail (checks!) shows up at the office. If I ever do need a place to work, which has happened a few times, I can pay to use the space for a few hours. I love the flexibility that it offers our company plus they gave us a discount for paying for a full year in advance.
If you work from home but need a business address, check out Laptop Lounge in Walnut Creek. It’s definitely worth it!

I was feeling very grateful yesterday. I really feel comfortable working at Laptop Lounge. I have been here for almost 2 years and it just keeps making me feel productive. It is also a very friendly group of folks who work here. Feeling grateful.

Since joining Laptop Lounge I have been more productive than ever and enjoy meeting and collaborating with other developers. I feel like I’m staying fresh with trends in my industry, plus, I’ve got the work/​home life balanced nicely. It’s been a little over six months since I joined, and I couldn’t imagine going back to the home office or coffee shop routine. Additionally, as an independent contractor I have enjoyed a significant increase in business, much of which has happened organically by simply being here and interacting with others who share the space and have a need for my particular skill set.

Laptop Lounge is the perfect place to meet clients and get away from all the distractions at home. I love working from home, but sometimes it can be impossible to focus and get work done. Laptop Lounge is just 15 minutes away and I get more done there in a few hours than I get done in an entire day at home sometimes!
It’s also gives a much better impression meeting clients and prospects at Laptop Lounge than in a coffee shop. Being a member has done amazing things for my business.

I joined Laptop Lounge because when I work remotely I prefer to work in an office environment. When I work from home, it never quite feels like work, and frankly it really shouldn’t. I prefer being around other professionals and being in a more formal work environment which Laptop Lounge provides. The location is ideal because I live within walking distance. The Wi-​Fi works great, which is essential for my business, and the ability to print on demand is an added bonus. If I ever have a guest, it’s also nice to have an option to meet them here and more professional than meeting at a coffee shop. Lastly, the people here at Laptop Lounge are friendly and always there to help. Thank you Leslie and to the crew at Laptop Lounge!

I’ve tried other shared workspaces, but I really enjoy the camaraderie and the fact that it is so centrally located. It’s nice to have other business people around I wouldn’t normally meet if I worked at home.
By virtue of working in a shared office space, we’ve made some key connections that help us run our back office and administrative tasks more efficiently. For example, we met our corporate lawyer, medical benefits consultant, HR specialist, and website designer through our time spent at Laptop Lounge. The core team members of my company need to focus on the day-​to-​day sales and operational aspects of our business, and we’ve managed to outsource our less strategic, but no less critical, tasks to talented partners we’ve met at the shared office space.

Laptop Lounge takes shared workspace to the next level. The networking events bring new business right to the people who use Laptop Lounge!
Not only are you getting a great workspace that works with your life but they are a strategic partner helping generate revenue for your business.
It is so affordable that you can even use it as a stop off point while doing errands but it is such a professional space that you can bring clients there as well.
