WeWork Berkeley

After I finally got my deposit back, I feel guilty leaving it a poor rating. I still recommend WeWork to people and would return if I needed a space.

WeWork is awesome — it allows small startups and similar to set up shop in a great location, affordable and flexible. The Berkeley site is so great, I’ve been working there since around when it opened, have expanded my team, and have really loved every minute. there is something about their design, ergonomics, and staff that creates a really fun and pleasurable work environment — it is organic — no forced social networking, just social. I spent 30 years working for corporations, in cubicles or in offices managing people in cubicles — and I’m never doing that again. Good riddance to Corporate America, WeWork is the future.

WeWork has found a way to make going to the office fun again. I love working at the WeWork building. The best part about it for me is the community that is built in the building. The people who work the front desk (Ellery, Aja, and Zoe) are absolutely amazing and help create community in the building by connecting different people who work there. They create such a welcoming atmosphere. Along with all of that, the building is incredibly well designed which makes working there much more inspiring than your average office.

I was a member of WeWork Soma for about nine months when I was notified that they would be opening a space in Berkeley. I had never been so excited! I went that same day before the build out was even finished and put in my transfer to WeWork Berkeley. I knew if Aja and Ellery were going to be apart of this building, I absolutely needed to be apart of this building. I can’t say enough about the beautiful layout of WeWork Berkeley. The views of the Bay are breathtaking. The energy that starts at the front desk is carried throughout the entire building. Not only was I welcomed into the space, I was encouraged to make my office my very own. I was assisted in the assembly of my desk and chair as well as the hanging of my wall shelving. The community managers were knowledgeable about parking garages as well as the many great restaurants, cafes and bars in the area. A huge thanks to Ellery for having lunch with me so I didn’t have to try out the restaurants alone!

WeWork Berkeley is my little work oasis. As someone who was working from home previously, I can’t say enough good things about this place. They offer everything from a dedicated workspace in the group room to private offices for from 2 to 10+ people, possibly more. I have a WeWork workspace in the «cheap seats» — the group room, but it gives me everything I need, along with a fantastic staff, a view of the bay, great WeWork colleagues, beautiful lounge and meeting rooms, weekly fun and/​or business related events, and some great speakers on topics relevant to any small or emerging business. Worth it. Big time. Also well behaved dogs are welcome, and it’s just two blocks from BART.

A great co-​working space in Berkeley, with enthusiastic and friendly community managers, and nice facilities. Space includes private offices, shared desk space and communal lounges. Members are respectful so working areas are quiet and it is a great place to concentrate and get work done. Lounge areas and conference rooms are inviting and functional, so also a great place to have meetings.

After working from a home office for 10 years, I moved into an office in WeWork Berkeley 6 months ago and am so glad I did! Every morning I get a warm welcome from the terrific staff (yay Ellery, Aja and Zoe!), and then I spend the day in an energetic, connected, inspiring environment with a strong community vibe. The building has a hip design aesthetic, a big common area with free fruitwater and beer, lots of conference rooms, private phone booths, breakout spaces, and access to meeting rooms in the entire international WeWork network. I’ve met many interesting co-​WeWorkers in a range of professions, some of whom have become personal friends and collaborators. Other than the quality of the coffee, which could use an upgrade, it’s a dream workspace, and I highly recommend anyone and everyone to take a tour and check it out for yourself.

I took the plunge into being a solo practitioner after working at a law firm and am so glad that I got an office within WeWork Berkeley. The staff are incredibly friendly and the building/​amenities are great. I highly recommend anyone looking for an office and/​or shared office space to set up at WeWork Berkeley.

The perfect place to launch your business. Great facilities that are modern, very function and well maintained. Plenty of conference rooms and phone booths for meetings, high speed wifi, free beer, coffee & tea every day not to mention regular free lunches & events. Some really interesting people here too — everything from 20 person startups to single founders and remote workers. I definitely recommend taking a look, love it!
