Michael, the owner, is professional and responsive, and the people who currently use the co-working space are friendly also. The office is spacious, supplies are well-stocked, and the coffee never runs out. In terms of co-working spaces, it is also the most affordable option I found in Cambridge, especially if you bring in multiple employees and get the Geek Company rate.

I rented a large office (actually huge...it could easily fit six people) at Geek Offices for the…read morelast six months. The landlord Michael, mentions that the offices are low key, and they are. It's all cubicles and private offices. There is a nice kitchen with coffee and two fridges. The internet comes from a fiber connection and is 50 Mbit down (fast enough) and 50 Mbit up (much faster than you usually see.) And for those of you who care about latency, the ping is only 2 ms which is super fast. Geek Offices is a bit of a time machine. It's like the old days before super pretty shared offices with tiny tables and tiny boxes of an office. No. Here you get big private cubes with plenty of space. Nice offices with plenty of room. And yeah, you're renting from the guy who owns the building. He's very responsive and flexible. It's his building and he's happy when it serves people's needs. The offices are on the lower level. Some of the offices have high windows, but overall this is not a place with lots of natural light. The cubes and furniture aren't new, but they're in good shape and they get the job done. There are showers and bathrooms right across the hall. You get 24-hour access with a key card, and privates offices lock. And more time machine...there is parking. A lot of parking. It isn't cheap, but hey, where can you get parking just two blocks from Inman Square? There's even visitor parking. Whoever has that? Now if anyone would actually visit you in person, they could go right ahead and park for free. Really, this is a place to work. Get stuff done. Heads down. Just you or a small team. Then get lunch in Inman Square. Sometimes going back to the future works just fine. Oh, one more thing. The rental terms are incredibly flexible. You pay for the month. You can leave with as low as one day's notice. For example, you decide on December 30th that you need to leave. You give notice on the 31st. You can leave the next day. You don't owe anything. I had to have it explained to me twice because I couldn't actually believe it.

Oficio is great. We have been members there for almost 2 years, since June 2015…read more After doing a lot of research on co-working spaces in the surrounding area, we chose Oficio for their friendliness, amenities and quality work spaces. We rented a private office for several months, which was quiet and sunny. We have also used their remote mailing address service for years. Payment is charged to your card on the 1st of the month, so billing is super easy too. Oficio offers a great location, service and price for the Back Bay area.

I had a fantastic experience at NGIN. I rented a hot desk, so I sat out in the main open floor plan…read morearea but it was never distracting or too loud. That said, it doesn't feel like a library either (which was an issue in an office I worked at previously) - the low-key bustle of the place provides the perfect backdrop to feel like you're working amongst dozens of your peers, even if your company is based thousands of miles away like mine. And, crucially, the Wi-Fi never falters. The perks are also awesome - free coffee, tea, seltzer, and loads of snacks put out in the common kitchen area. You've got to be quick, because things sometimes get snatched up, but all the freebies give you a great reason to get up, stretch your legs, and see what's new to munch on. Also, every Wednesday they host a quick, 15-minute CrossFit WOD which is cool if you're into that. And there's a shower down the hall that's great for cleaning up if you do the WOD or commute in by bike. All in all, this is a fantastic spot to get work done happily and comfortably. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Olga and Joan were excellent and they were very helpful. The conference room has large open windows and a view of Cambridge. NGIN is not sterile, the colors are bright yet comfortable, it's got great vibes, modern yet with a flare. The kitchen area was well stocked with healthy snacks. I didn't check out their fridge, but I heard they are to die for! The staff was friendly and facilities were awesome. They have flexible rental that includes day passes, so if you are in town for a short time for a visit, you can use their space instead of forking out a whole month of rent and paperwork, who needs that, really? I've worked in a bunch of shared workspaces and I am super impressed with NGIN. You get a lot and not have to pay a lot. Every time I was there, I didn't have a hard time looking for street parking, which is a plus because if you go further down in Kendall, parking gets scarce. NGIN is across from Tatte for coffee/dessert and next door is Mulin, yummy Taiwanese food. Not to mention Lord Hobo, one of my fav local beer spot. And you can't go wrong with Emma's pizza, Hungry Mothers, Blue Room, etc. You are also close to Cambridge's groovy Central Square and eclectic Inman Square with a huge selection of ethnic food, vegetarian restaurants, bars, gyms, etc. I would highly recommend the space for work, fun, play and hangout. Check it out for yourself.

Maybe since it was a Friday, it was pretty quiet but there were other people scattered in the various areas working. There are mini rooms you can sign up for to take a call. Some spots are designated as a quiet zone and then others are group friendly. There is a kitchen area where you can store or heat up food. There's unlimited coffee and water...and even beer! We really enjoyed the space and were able to focus and get some crucial work done. Thanks for hosting us, we loved being at Workbar!

I work for a nonprofit in the Back Bay/Copley area and we needed a space to have our board retreat…read morewithout paying $$$$ for the space and food. I know Workbar is generally a "coworking space" but they were incredible for a room rental!! Workbar was amazing because: Very affordable price! Fantastic space for the meeting Comfortable chairs All you can drink water, tea, and coffee Flexibility of using ezcater.com saved a ton of money compared to venues who make $$$$ off the catering One of our board members has an adult family member he cares for who has developmental issues who needed to be there as well - Workbar had a ton of different places she could sit and do her coloring just outside of, but still very near, our room ... but the BEST part of Workbar was Lauren and Warren, who got us set up, showed me where everything was in the kitchen, answered a bunch of random questions I had, and a million other things. At one point I saw Warren helping the family member I mentioned get some water, patiently showing her how to use the machine and offering the various water options (watermelon, blueberry, still or sparkling, etc. etc.). And if you should happen to forget to add the facilitator to the guest list for the front desk, and realize it moments before everyone arrives, Lauren just might be able to get her on the list in 10 seconds flat so no one even knows she was left off - but, of course, I would never do such a thing so this is purely surmising... ;-) Basically the best experience we could have possibly hoped for. If you have extra food leftover from your meeting, if you put it on the counter in the kitchen, rest assured it will not go to waste ;-) Thank you Warren and Lauren for helping me make this event such a success!!!
