I came here for some continuing education classes and a beginner's class on cryptocurrencies, and…read morethe experience was excellent. The facility itself is beautiful. Modern design, high ceilings, open layout, and plenty of natural light streaming in. The common areas feel welcoming, with a nice balance between quiet spots for focused work and communal spaces where you can connect with other entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives. There are also individual booths for working in solitude, as well as conference rooms for group sessions. The classroom was well lit and the sound system worked perfectly, which made following along easy and enjoyable. If you're interested in coworking or booking space, check out their website for rates: sandboxhawaii.org. The only challenge I had was finding the building the first time since it blends in with the rest of the John A. Burns School of Medicine complex. Tip: it's the first building on the right facing the road as you're heading Diamond Head. Parking is plentiful right out front, which makes it super convenient. Overall, a fantastic place for learning, networking, and working in a comfortable and inspiring environment.

Cool idea…read more.. Entrepreneur Sandbox is located right in Kaka'ako right beside UH on Ilalo St and with lots of parking available makes is a great spot to spark that imagination and on this night they had Clothing Swap Party which is a simple concept of bringing clothes, accessories, totes to swap as they provided tables to place your items and search. Community gathering to swap unwanted items going instantly to homes is nothing more than a great way to support those that are looking for items as well as I've overheard folks saying that that don't have much is so unfortunate and there nothing more that makes me happy than to see my items snatched which I did and it felt great. Love the loft vibe they have here and the location as it offers very easy parking and hope that they continue to have events like this as everyone had a great time finding new items to their wardrobe which they also provide fitting room as well. Awesome spot for all to enjoy as I was really surprised how many showed up and embraced it all. Thank you!

With many other business found nowhere else Oliver Wine & Deli, Kapa Hale Restaurant and Olive Tree Cafe and more the draw here brings a steady flow I never expected. The one way parking entrance is on Kilauea Ave and you exit in the back to Pāhoa Ave. This classic Korner keeps things fresh and is worth checking out what it has to offer that keeps us locals coming back for more. Thank you!

I love how quiet and intimate this work place is. Theres a few things I like about this place. #1,…read moreI really like the personal cubicle. Great desk. Outlets are easy and accessible. I also like that I can lock up my cubicle and leave my things in case I need to step outside. #2, at first I didnt know how to feel about the location but after I saw all the good eats. I was sold. I also love walking and Iolani Palace is right down the street. It feels nice to take a real break than WFH. #3, great customer service and accessibility and they worked with me being able to come as early as 6 Am. This is my go to work place.

This space is great. I needed a workspace for 1 day as I am usually WFH. I was able to contact…read morethem, reserve the space, view the space, and pay very easily. My contact, Jadeen, was a great help: responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly! The space was clean, well-lit, and comfortable. I appreciated that I could lock the office so I could leave for lunch without having to carry all my things. The building parking is a reasonable price, a little under $20 for the day. There is an non-public bathroom within the Kukui Hub offices and a cute little kitchenette. Great experience.

This is an interesting space…read more Conference rooms are a nice size. Make sure you bring any necessary connecting cables. I didn't see a bluetooth option. Plenty of tables, although some folks use them to watch movies and social media without headphones. There's a Starbucks and beer place there, but there's no streamlined way to get your free 2 hour parking. Sometimes there's an employee sitting in the area, sometimes you have to wait in the bank line. Without it, 1 hour is about $10. It's fine. Not rushing back, but a tool to use when I need it.

Creative minds leaves the box and heads towards Tidepools@CPB…read more Now this seriously cool place is located in Central Pacific Plaza Downtown lobby and this co-working workspace is for all types from individuals to small businesses who just need a place to workout their plans. You don't need to have a CPB account though having one gives you the priority to make the reservations and it's super easy to do so online at https://www.cpb.bank/tidepools. Times you can reserve are from 30 minutes, an hour, 90 minutes and up to two hours. Tidepools users are able to park at Central Pacific Plaza and will be provided with two hours validation. I have been here before and just love the vibe here it's so chill yet vibrant with various folks enjoying their lunch, meeting up with others or just working on their inspirations. On this particular visit I came to check out their Tidepools Holiday Marketplace where there were many vendors selling handcrafted and unique items that I loved and was actually surprised to run into a friend Kris of Kris Hawaii who does amazing illustrations so you know it just made my day. Speaking to Kris I noticed a calming sound coming from above her and it was a wall art..."Kai nu'u o Kanaloa" and this spectacular art is synced with offshore buoys and sends it back with the sounds of the waves moving in the ocean and is in real time if you can believe that. The Christmas decor itself was just stunning so calming and beautiful I just found myself already relaxed as if I'm transported away and to keep you fueled up they do have Aloha Beer, and Starbucks Pick Up and yes that's what it's called if you use your mobile app which makes it an all around perfect place to do anything and basically everything! Thank you!

Making ideas come alive and get things happen is so inspiring!…read more A life long crafter everything sparks my brains and gets sparks my creativity, Hub Coworking Hawaii is just a lovely place to keep that passion flowing. What got me super excited for this event they have called "Clothing Swap Party" how cool is that! Just bring your unneeded clothing, shoes and purses and who doesn't have that what they do is have these tables and racks to hang and layout your clothing where we are allowed to browse and see the potential item you like to add to your wardrobe. Also there is The Skin Institute with students ready to provide a consultation on your skin condition and products they'd recommend to treat it. I had a delightful student Esthetician named Sstarr and went over my skin which I assumed and the course of products she recommend, along with a coupon for 10% off facial is a great start to a glowing complexion. I did find a shirt but wasn't really looking for a swap like so many here were delightfully enthusiastic just to see it going somewhere that will be loved and appreciated than the trash or lost in the donation bin, which isn't where what's left is going to a non-profit...fabulous! Once the swap was basically done I did get to browse around the area which looked like a fun lofty vibe with different pods and seating area and kitchen is super cute! Follow them on Instagram @hubcoworkinghi as the members aren't the only one with plans as they have calendar filled with events supporting local is just beautiful. Sometimes it takes a village and collaboration makes working together a great community support. Thank you!

A free pop-up movie in Honolulu...at Impact Hub!…read more Amy found a free movie through Eventbrite and I was so excited to go! I've always wanted to see "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and this was it! Yay! Thanks, Amy! I actually parked for free right across the street at Whole Foods. Impact Hub does have it's own parking lot, and you can get validation. Inside, the workspace (available for rent) is clean, colorful, and spacious. There are restrooms, showers, telephone booths, desks, chairs, tables, a kitchen with microwave, and a plain white wall for projections... This is where we gathered and watched the story of Fred Rogers of the television show, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". This venue was perfect for a casual get together. Tonight's event was sponsored by PBS. There was a good variety of snacks - and water was available in reusable cups. Afterwards, I realized that I had been here before. My friend's wife graduated from esthetician school at this place! Wow...it's a versatile space!

High tech building in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. The Ala Moana Pacific Center is an 18-story office building which I visit about twice a year... because I pay the travel company directly for family trips to Las Vegas. Besides H&R Block, Noevir, hair salons, jewelry shops, and law offices, it also is home to Vacations Hawaii (travel company) on the 9th floor. I usually park for free at Ala Moana Center by going up the Atkinson Street ramp to the top level where Macy's and Liliha Bakery are. There's an escalator to the 7th floor and after that, I take the elevator to the 9th floor. Yes, it's a bit complex. There is a very modern elevator system... just select the floor of your choice on the screen and the corresponding elevator will open up and take you directly to your designated floor! The elevators are marked: A, B, C, and D. Note to self: remember to select Floor #7 and go down the escalator to go back to the car. I wish that there were more directional signs. I go down one hallway to find that I should have chosen the other hallway... Oh, well... At least it's air conditioned!

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. A sign on the sidewalk in front of this two-story, turquoise-colored building called to me. It said, "SHOP CUTE". Of course, I had to take a look. Luckily, I had parked in a metered street stall that had a broken meter... yay! Free street parking! LOL! I had a chance to explore four of the current businesses in the Okumura Building: Downstairs: 1. Calico Cat - fabulous fabrics and patterns 2. Every Day Better by Green Meadows - cute stuff and eco-friendly merchandise Upstairs: 3. Pitacus Chop Art - paper and fabric crafts and clothing 4. Kimono Megumi - handmade bags, jewelry, and clothes Other businesses (uptairs) include: South Paw Studios Mottainai Hawaii atelier 1223 at Montsuki These are woman-owned, small, local businesses that have unique products! Check 'em out!

From the exterior it may not seem much but it houses so much artsy crafty and unusual finds like Pitacus, Every day better, Calico Cat, and Mottainai and a few more that I've never been to but what makes them so special are their "Pop Ups" the last was in May for Mother's Day (April 30th) and I walked away with so much including my own precious BunBun!! Today's event (June 25th 2023) was slightly smaller than the usual but still has many wonderful artists and yes I sure found something that not only is eco friendly but a beautiful work of art. Knowing it helps by having donation to Lanakila Meals on Wheels how can you not feel great! They seem to have a brand new Instagram account @okumurabldgcreatives so I think it's fitting to have a Yelp page as well to support our small local biz and some artist that do some amazing items. Thank you!
