At the HiVE you're going to run into a lot of people working for startups, grassroots initiatives…read moreand nonprofit organizations. Basically, people who care. You'll find everything you'd expect from a coworking space here: hot desks, permanent desks, wifi and wired internet, meeting rooms, lockers, mailboxes, bike storage and the use of a business address. They have a very active email list to help you keep track of what is going on. There are lunch 'n learns throughout the year. I wish I was at the HiVE more often so I could take part in all of that learning. My favorite event at the HiVE is the salad club. Everyone brings ingredients and the HiVE supplies lettuce and salad dressings. Salad club is a nice way to have lunch and meet some coworkers. General Social Events like this aren't too frequent at the HiVE, but when they happen - don't miss 'em! Some things to note if you are looking for a coworking space: - The HiVE is busy during weekdays. Keep this in mind - if you're annoyed by a little ambient noise or a conversation nearby this may not be the right space for you. - This is a community led place so sometimes that means rolling up your sleeves and putting those dishes in the dishwasher or making coffee for all. Yes they have a front desk Bee who keeps an eye on the kitchen and greets people, but if there is something that bothers you then you should probably volunteer to help solve it. - I've spotted a mouse once or twice and there are occasional break-ins during the night. Just keepin' it real. Lock up your stuff, put away your food y'all! - The HiVE is located on the 2nd floor and as far as I can tell there is no elevator, therefore it is not handicap accessible. - The directors are amazing here, they care, they respond, they come up with good solutions and they do an excellent job of mitigating crises. Happy coworking!

I am so down with HiVE. This non-profit co-working space is the coolest idea since sliced bread…read more It's a fancy modern office environment with rad socially conscious politics. Individuals and small businesses can rent space here that comes with a downtown Vancouver mailing address and boardroom access for meetings without renting a full office, which is out of the price range of most creative individuals. HiVE is great for short-term projects that require the use of meeting and office space, or for part-time contract work that requires a desk. Also, being surrounded by inspiring and hard-working dedicated professionals, many of them in the creative industries, is great for the work ethic - as is paying for the space you use. The kitchen here is off the hook, too. I see it and just want to make big vegan meals for 40+ in it. Oh lawdy. Other bonuses: indoor bike storage, drop-in hourly desk rentals, great views, private telephone rooms, two dishwashers. If you're a creative professional, contract worker, or are working on a big project and can't focus at home, give HiVE a chance! I was frankly amazed at how much work I got done during the time I spent there. I originally planned on just renting hourly but found it so beneficial for my work ethic that I bought a membership.

After doing an absurd amount of research, I've found that L'Atelier is definitely one of the best…read moreco-working spaces in Vancouver. The design and decor of the space itself should be why you come here. It's bright, beautiful, and relaxing. The wifi is great, and there are a ton of outlets, which is are the two things I was specifically looking for in a co-working space (and it's something that a lot of cafes lack). Sabrina, the owner is so welcoming and is always willing to go above and beyond for her members. She works hard to bring us all together. When I first came in, she introduced me to everyone who was working in the space that day. She takes the time to get to know you and will work to accommodate what your working needs are. She even hosts lunch for us sometimes during the week, and Happy Hour Wednesdays as a way to build the community at L'Atelier. Another bonus is the free coffee and kitchen appliances. Keeping me caffeinated throughout the day and giving me a place to store my lunch is points in my book! If you're looking for a co-working space, definitely come to L'Atelier. Sabrina will make you feel right at home!

Work, or wedding. Bring your pets!…read more This is a relaxed lounge and co-working space associated with the Mother's Kitchen cafe next door. During normal hours, there are meetings rooms available for rent. What makes this place different is that pets are allowed. I attended a wedding here recently of about 60 people and it was excellent. The food was catered from Mother's Kitchen next door. The mood was both relaxed and fun. The staff are friendly and courteous. Overall, it's a great place to have a cosy wedding or corporate event.

I'm not sure there are any co-working spaces in Vancouver that have enough phone booths for calls, though, so I don't know that you can really do better there without renting a private room in a space. With noise cancelling headphones in, it's reasonably quiet here, with some chatter between folks working together in the main space, and people taking cals from the "lounge" / "kitchen" area near the entrance. A larger space I used to use in NYC was big enough to have a quiet floor for people who wanted to do quiet, focused, work, which was nice, but I don't know that you can find anything like that in Vancouver.
