SCALE New Orleans is my favorite place to get work done and socialize with great people. Yes! You…read morecan do both! I recently returned to the great city of New Orleans and quickly realized that my very humble abode was not going to be very conducive to getting work done. So the search for a co-working space began. After almost 4 years of working remotely, I wasn't sure I would like returning to an office environment, but SCALE has been great. Perks of working from SCALE: * Members get 24/7 access and it's very secure! * Some of the desks have monitors! No more hunching at your laptop. * Telephone booths and conference rooms when you need a bit more privacy. * Well climatized - perfect for the summer heat or sweater weather. * The space is filled with plants; windows; local art; free espresso and coffee; and just the right amount of white noise. There's even a rooftop terrace just outside the kitchen. * The other members are friendly! They will talk to you if you want and respect you if you have jump on a call or get work done. * They will take deliveries for you. No more worrying about porch pirates. * Lyle, the owner, is often on-site and really cares about us. (awwwww) * There's even a shower! (But if you need a hairdryer, be sure to bring your own). Other things I've noticed - people are very friendly and welcoming. This is a place where you can come as you are. The diversity in the people make SCALE reflect some of their FLOR rug designs - they don't necessarily all coordinate, but somehow it works and looks good (see pic). Your network can really expand here as there are so many people with different work and life backgrounds. I did visit other coworking spaces, but the atmosphere was not as welcoming and felt a bit sterile. Couple that with too much hard concrete surfaces and I knew there would be an issue with noise. Come visit SCALE for a tour & check it out yourself! If you see me, introduce yourself and let me know you read my review! See you soon!

My oh my!!!! Where…read moreshall I begin. This place & Lyle are a godsend. As if being a NEW entrepreneur + FIRST time inventor, wasn't enough. Throw in manufacturing why dontcha? Well ok so there's the quandary... how + where do I make these things? Well here is Lyle + Scale Workspace to render me aid. This place is a hidden gem in "THE NOLA BABY", I mean just think of it... if you can put on your thinking cap, then you can come here, construct a mold & create it. That's how it happened for me. Picture it: -God gave me an idea -Lyle + his team brought it to manifestation. Just that simple. Once you know the direction (to creating a thing), you can head here. Lyle + his team are simply the best, better than all the rest... y'all know the Tina Tuner song, don't try to fool me now. At any rate, taking a tour is ESSENTIAL!!! As it adds sheer excitement to the endless possibilities of the things you can create here. There's an area to co-work and use computers. There's an area to make & receive private phone calls. There's an area to get your eat on, fashioned with all of the niftiest gadgets & appliances. There's a place to shower, should the need arise; say if you ride a bike in or if you even if you need a quick pick me up. There's an area to make, create & bring your vision to life. There's a rooftop area that is quaint & perfect to take a little siesta. There's an area to get your Shutterfly on; taking photos is essential to share any work of art. And the great thing about all these areas and many more, is that they come with MEMBERSHIP. Man oh man, talk about "membership having its privileges..." I love it. Oh and did I tell you have access whenever you want, I mean I don't know if overnight is an option, but if it is, you have the ability to gain access with the touch of your finger. Yep!!! No keys needed... your very own biometrics will give you access to the tools & skills lab you need to create. I've been advised of the parking beneath the bridge or you can park alongside the street and use the parking meters, FYI. I plan to utilize the amenities here to create and create and create some more. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MORE NEW PRODUCTS FROM ME, YOUR FRIENDLY YELP-ELITE INVENTOR!!!

They host several dance troupes in town, including Gris Gris Strut, the NOLA Jitterbugs and my favorite, The NOLA Chorus Girls Project, of which I was a member for a hot second before realizing my travel schedule wouldn't permit me to participate regularly. I can't attest to the awesomeness of all of the teachers/classes, however what I love about this studio are the gorgeous wood floors (nice to dance on!) and wall-to-wall mirrors (nice to spot to yourself when doing spinny spins etc. and admire/clean-up your form). It also feels very much like a community space, with very reasonable rental rates for private lessons and if you would like to offer up a class yourself. St. Claude needs more fantastic businesses like this one! It's time to move, friends! Take a look at the website and take a chance on one of the classes that sparks your interest. Hell, they even have Zumba and isn't that all the rage these days?

If you're passing through town or just working for a few months in Nola and need a place to work, that has a Nola vibe, this is the best. Very affordable, very safe 7-7, then be careful, but that's Nola unfortunately. Full kitchen, fast internets, phone booths for private calls, I like the bathrooms (hey it's important when you work somewhere 40 hours a week). No complaints. Started as the cheapest level and worked my way up to a small office. Great coworkers, mostly writers, geeks, and a few professional services and non profits, all feel a million miles away from my corporate cube.

First of all, the space is gorgeous and has a lovely open space set up!

I love the versatility. The windows are so large and there's such a great view of the city. Andddd there's a Black coffee shop, Mr. Wolf, downstairs! The downside is that you have to pay for parking.

Was surprised that Launch Pad didn't have a Yelp listing, and found it necessary to add one because…read moreI keep trying to check in there... Launch Pad is hard to categorize, because it's much more than an event venue--it's a coworking space, the headquarters of a growing collection of startups, and a community of entrepreneurs working to make New Orleans a better place. If you're a freelance consultant, small business owner, or someone who works from home, Launch Pad is an excellent option for a more professional workspace; you can have meetings with clients in an actual conference room, rather than at a coffee shop or in your living room. (It does make a difference, by the way. My business has grown significantly since I became a member of Launch Pad, thanks to referrals from other LP members and also to the professional work environment and resources available via LP's network of entrepreneurs.) Membership rates are reasonable, and more than worth the investment if you're looking for an opportunity to help your business grow. You don't have to sign a 5-year commercial lease, because memberships are month-to-month. Come check it out for a day, for free, and see what you think.

Really thankful for the person who added their Yelp review because I may not have found them. Spent two days working here while in from NY this week. Folks were nice.

Visiting town the fact that Mother's Restaurant is right across the street is epic - for breakfast, lunch or dinner that is fast and delicious.

DO NOT HAVE YOUR EVENT HERE! I'm not even sure where to begin...i have been here to this event hall…read moretwice before for different events. At those times, visually inside and out the place was nice. I had spent weeks looking for the right space to host my baby shower and i remembered this place. I scheduled a walk through and when i got there the outside looked terrible. I still went in and spoke with the young lady who i had an appointment with. The inside was very nice but i asked her about the grass and will it be taken care of cause i thought surely they don't keep it like this on a regular basis and she informed me that the have a contract with a company who maintains the grass. With that information i assumed that for their events that they host they would most likely have it taken care of. So i reserved my date with the lady who is the one in charge of the actual event booking, Elizabeth. After my booking as time went on i had questions about the space and it was so incredibly hard to get in contact with her. And because i couldn't get in contact i had to postpone my other arrangements until i could get in contact with her. On multiple occasions i couldn't get in contact with her to the point where i attempted to reach out to the owner of the building with no success from that either. This made planning MY OWN BABY SHOWER TEN TIMES MORE STRESSFUL. From the time leading up to my event, my family had passed the building multiple occasions because of where they work and the grass stayed continuously worsened , growing higher and higher. It was a terrible sight. The week of my event, i reached out to the event manager asking if the grass could please take care of because it appeared it was never touched since three months ago when i first toured and the days are counting down. She informed me and my father that they have a contract with a company and that unfortunately she could not do anything about the grass that she referred to as "trees" in front of the building. My family and i were so desperate because of how bad it looked we asked if we could do it ourselves!! She told us no. I then asked if i could be compensated cause the whole experience with her and the business had been so disappointing and she told me that the outside of the venue being taken care of and maintained was not in my contract so therefore no i will not be compensated and the grass will still not be able to be touched . She then told me that the grass had been taken care about a week ago and because of the weather it had something to do with why the grass looked the way it looked and from the images i will input you will CLEARLY SEE that wasn't true. In the end i made the best of what i had but please expect LESS than the bare minimum from this place. Terrible service. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!

I had the opportunity to visit Place St Charles' food court during their grand re-opening in July…read more2019. The food court is what most downtown office buildings should emulate to be. There were so many different cuisines offered from Soul food, Chinese, Poke, Salad, Mediterranean, Mexican, and burgers, excellent variety. There is sufficient indoor seating with high tops and lower 4 seat tables. I was surprised to see that there was outdoor seating on the balcony! If you work in the downtown area, or just happen to be in the area for breakfast and lunch, I recommend a visit to the second floor of Place St. Charles! Additionally, the office building is one of the better equipped downtown buildings for the public. On the first floor, there's a Chase bank with an outside ATM on the ground floor as well as AT&T, a dry cleaners, and UPS store.
