I visited Icon CoWork in June 2025 for my free 5-day trial, which I believe is highlighted as a…read morefree week but it isn't a full 7-days because you can only visit during the week when the front desk is staffed. Thus, I couldn't visit on a weekend because no one works at the front desk then. Icon CoWork is on the campus of St. James Church. CO-WORKING SPACE -- Colourful, comfortable, and bright. This is one large space in the center of the building with booth seating. Along the sides by the kitchen, they have small circular tables and chairs that are mostly used for eating but the can be used for working too. There is a room to the right upon entering that has additional seating with tables plus sofa's for working. This room gets a lot of sunlight and is great for more quiet, focused work as it is slightly more secluded from the main area. At one point, their A/C wasn't working so they used fans throughout the building to cool it down which was a nice proactive decision as they waited for the A/C to be fixed. OFFICES -- It seems as if the majority of members here own a private office that they rent or a dedicated desk space because I hardly saw anyone in the co-working desks. There is a good variety of private office options here (just over 20) with doors. They also offer dedicated desk spaces in a separate room with less privacy because someone else may be sitting next to you at another desk. FREE TEA, COFFEE, AND SNACKS -- The mini kitchen area has free snacks and drinks. The free drinks include bottled water, beer, tea, coffee, and I think even wine. I don't drink coffee and alcohol but I definitely took some of the complimentary tea, water, and snacks. PODCAST STUDIO -- The podcasting studio is a nice option for those who have a podcast but need equipment. Members of the co-working space get free access once a month (or, for a few hours a month) and then after that, the podcast studio needs to be rented out for additional use. Icon CoWork feels like a boutique and elite CoWorking space. I'm not sure how well known they are but it was very quiet during the few days that I visited. I would normally only see 2-3 people in the whole co-working space at a time which creates a lonely vibe. Being there was missing the community aspect as I was by myself. Although once, I did visit with my friend Mike which was nice. The woman who gave me my initial tour told me that they do have some community events which is a great way to meet other members. Icon CoWork is a nice place to work. They offer complimentary snacks and drinks but it misses the community aspect due to limited people in the space and more members using offices. Overall though, I would recommend that you visit as maybe things have changed with more people joining. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 60/250 total reviews in 2026 - 901 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 April 2026

PODCAST STUDIO HERE!…read more I really enjoy checking out coworking spaces around Cleveland for a change of scenery (usually as a drop-in guest). I recently worked at Icon Cowork. Icon Cowork occupies the second floor of the St. James Corporate Campus, located right next to the iconic St. James Church in Lakewood, Ohio. This coworking is versatile - offers a variety of memberships, space rental, private offices, and monthly member events. One of the better coworking spaces around! I was amazed at all the friendliness experienced at this coworking center! All members were greeting me, cordially introducing themselves, and wanted to network. Some members even showed me their offices! The Community Manager Heidi was such a joy to interact with! She was bubbly, welcoming, and introduced me to many people at the coworking space.I felt very included. I was also able to attend a member lunch and learn event while I was at this space (Power Up Your Posture Lunch & Learn). It's just a very close knit community. INITIAL VISIT: Initiate your first visit by filling out the form on Icon's website. You'll receive an invitation email with an option to schedule via Calendly. You can select an option to do a tour or tour, free coworking week. The tour is very extensive and informative. It's a more thorough tour than I have received at other workspaces. The tour introduces you to various co-working options - open floor coworking, dedicated desks, or office spaces. You'll learn about all pricing and details of each membership. You'll have access to all facilities Monday-Friday, 8 AM-3 PM during your free week trial. The 5 days have to be consecutive. Weekends are not included. You will have access to facilities, Wi-Fi, common areas, and will be able to enjoy refreshments (coffee, tea, and snacks)). Few amenities are not included: meeting rooms, private offices and podcast room. You will be contacted at the end of your trial to see if you'd like to convert to a full-time member. MEMBERSHIPS: Following your initial visit, you can check out coworking memberships and private offices tailored to your needs. The following price list was shared with me: -Co-Working - $125.00 per month -Dedicated Desk - $250.00 per month -Micro Office - $635.00 per month (42 sq feet) -Small Office - $935.00 per month (81 sq feet) -Medium Office - $1,235.00 per month (120 sq feet) -Large Office - $1,435.00 per month (150 sq feet) -Extra Large Office - $1,635.00 per month (200 sq feet) Included are mail boxes, utilities, printing services, complimentary refreshments (snacks, coffee, and tea), cleaning services, maintenance, access to community managers, parking, unrestricted access (24/7 with key card), access to a set number of hours to a community space. Members also enjoy monthly member appreciation office (network with other members, free lunch, and sometimes speakers during lunch time). The pricing seems to be very competitive and value-oriented. Essentially as an Icon member of $125 tier you'll get coworking space access 9 AM-5PM, refreshments (coffee, tea, and snacks), free printing, 2 hours a month of podcasting studio access, 2 hours a month of meeting room space. Common areas can get lively. Some members shared that their offices get loud (they can overhear each other). SPACE: As a member, you can work from various parts of the co-working space. Open coworking space might be good for someone working from home. Booths can be used when you'll have a phone call to take. If you want to constantly work at this space, you can select that membership and call a desk at this space your own. If you're an entrepreneur, you can select one of the offices as a member. I observed that many individuals used these offices to welcome clients and visitors. For teams there is a gathering room with casual vibes and comfy furniture. DROP-INS: If you don't feel like committing on a full-time basis, there are options to purchase $25 day passes to co-work. Rentals of a networking room to non-members is $125 per hour. ACCESS: The building is accessible 24/7 to members, and only during business hours for visitors or drop-ins. There are two main entrances leading to Madison Ave, another to the parking lot. Some members enjoy going to lunch or coffee right on Madison Ave, access is very convenient. There are plenty of cool spots around in Lakewood within walking distance. PARKING: Private parking lot is available (shared with Sacred Hour Lakewood). Parking spots are scarce. There are options for street parking (metered), but all meters are pretty much time boxed. PODCAST STUDIO: There is a podcast studio inside! You receive a certain number of free hours with membership (usually 2 hours a month)! It's a very fun little space! It's a gem for any entrepreneurs who want a private office for client visits or work. Ultimately I decided not to join. I need more secluded space but don't want an office. I'll drop in to work here in the future!

CoHatch is a national coworking/office space chain with a location in Ohio City. I attended several…read moreevents in this space with the women's empowerment group for a few years now. Most recently, I attended fall-themed daytime co-working event with a few friends. My review includes collective experiences. AMBIANCE: Modern, industrial chic vibes with exported brick walls, faux metal walls, concrete looking walls, and innovative lighting. It's a beautiful juxtaposition with comfortable velvet furniture found around the space. Interest murals (like space) and colorful accent furniture decorate the space. You'll find plenty of space to work - open area in the space meeting room, front of the co-working space that resembles a cafe (with an abundance of natural light), or mid-building with comfy tables and booths. The space well caters to different working scenarios. There are offices (38 total) for entrepreneurs, meeting rooms (various sizes) for teams, talk rooms for two guest conversations, phone booths for private calls. There is also a podcast studio with soundproof setup for the creators. Arcade for team building. I observed that most guests prefer offices or large meeting spaces. After all, the name of the coworking center is for the "hatching of ideas." This co-working center has two kitchenettes where you can find coffee machines, fridges, and microwaves. Be on the lookout for snacks shared by office mates. I got a lot of snacks during my coworking day and really enjoyed it. CoHatch offered fall display - hot and cold apple cider, the most delicious caramel, apples, fall cookies and small bites. MEMBERSHIP: CoHatch offers tours and free first day passes available via their site. There are opportunities to checkout their space during Eventbrite events - networking and co-working days. Memberships have various tiers - day passes, business day passes, starter/part-time and unlimited coworking. All tiers get you access to all CoHatch locations during business hours, free workshops, events, guest passes, free guest Fridays, and other perks. The prices are clearly listed on the site with the lowest tier being $120. One notable perk is access to vacation homes that is certainly not offered anywhere else locally. The space is never crowded so that you can have a private work space and low traffic experience. NEIGHBORHOOD: The neighborhood of Hingetown is very walkable. You can easily walk to the nearby coffee shops, boutiques, apartments, bars, and restaurants. There are so many notable destinations around that area! Parking in the area is a bit complex but the coworking center has onsite parking lot. All in all, it's a fun place to work for a change of pace in a vibrant area. It's suitable as an event space and work space. Check it out!

I visited for the first time in 2022 for a private event (women's leadership panel) but I came…read moreagain in May 2023 to use their co-working space. When I visited in May 2023, I stayed for about 5 hours. I got to stay for free because the first usage is free. This is a co-working space in Ohio City and they have another location in Beachwood. Everyone gets their first visit for free which is a nice offering. INSIDE -- It is quite large inside with seating available on the first and second floors. I sat on the first floor and worked on my laptop. The space includes private offices that businesses rent out and there are conference rooms available to use which must be paid and booked for in advance. They also have small phone rooms with a chair for people who want to have private phone conversations. TEA/COFFEE/WATER -- They provide complimentary tea, coffee, and water which is great and there are mugs that can be used. A dishwasher is available to place used mugs in. FRIDGE/MICROWAVE -- They have a fridge and microwave so if you want to pack your lunch then you can eat it here which is exactly what I did when I visited. Parking is located for free on the street which can be difficult to find in Ohio City but they have a small parking lot attached to the bar that is located right next to the space. I received a $50 gift card from a friend so I definitely will be back to either this location or their much bigger Beachwood location. If you work remote (from work) and do not want to go to a library or coffee shop, then I recommend this co-working space. **** - 64/150 total reviews in 2023 - 615 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 May 2023

It still has historical name - The Fairmount Creamery. Inside it's all remodeled and repurposed. The building now serves as an apartment complex and office rental space. It houses 30 residential suites and 6 commercial offices. It's very conveniently located between Ohio City and Tremont, both in demand neighborhoods. I can't comment about living here. I can only state that the building is very modern and pristine. It has very urban chic vibes. It's also attached to the Tremont Athletic center which is very convenient for any health conscious residents. Parking lot is spacious and impressive for this area. I will comment about the rooftop! It's a gem! I visited this rooftop on many occasions over the years! I visited it during Tremont Athletic Club events and most recently for Greyt Culture's Golden Hour. The rooftop has a gorgeous 360 degree view of CLE. It has flowers and what seemed like herbs. It also has a bar. It's definitely a gorgeous amenity for any residents! It's my new favorite rooftop in the city. Check out the moody sky views in my photos. The building has such meaningful history and such good vibes. Check it out if you are looking for rentals or hosting events. Or drop in for an event here! It's a must see and photograph!

The apartments come dirty, and then they charge you for it when you leave, even if you live there 9 years and leave it spotless. The pool burns your skin because the idiots don't know how to take care of it. The parking lot will give you a flat tire. The elevators break down monthly and it took them a year to fix the one.
