BoxJelly

Booked one of their meeting space for a program. The response time was quick and the room was very chic! Overall, if you need a great a meeting space for about 30 people, this is the perfect spot. Centrally located and awesome people!

Box Jelly is an awesome space to work, network, or just hang out with friends. I have been a member for 3 months, and I love going there. I can put my head down and get work done, or connect with the other professionals who are there. I have had help from tech support people, accountants, and other business owners. It’s a great space and I love working there!

Visited some friends who work here and it’s a really fun concept. It’s got a really cool creative vibe and a funky little layout that features many conference rooms and meeting spaces.
There’s usually front desk help that kinda serves as hipster receptionist/​security if you will. Despite the name there are no venomous Cnidaria present which is a real perk.
I inquired about their rental rates while I was shopping around for office space and found it really reasonable. They have a myriad of work space plans/​solutions that can fit most budgets.

I have been here a few times and as un-​cool as I feel when I walk in there I am creative.
This is super important to me. Not every place I work from can I create and write but this has great energy. The people are nice and I still feel like I’m not quite cool enough but this place has a great purpose.

Great office space to use. Very friendly great staff. Well priced to rent. Love the little snack room. You are allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks. As long as you’re not being crazy or loud.

This is a great coworking space. Fast wi-​fi, good hours and meeting rooms are available for booking. I am a drop-​in person but, am definitely considering a regular subscription.

Always a nice atmosphere there. Cool vibe and lots of hardworking peeps that hang out there. Rechung and his gang have always taken care of me when I rent space there. I have used the private offices on an hourly basis and have never had trouble. Now they have coffee (Morning Glass) right next door which has the best vanilla lattes.

Seriously, how can anyone give BoxJelly anything less than 5 stars? I am only a part timer in Hawaii, I have been off and on the island for 4−7months at a time for the past 2 years. I started a business. I needed a place to «reconnect», to find like minded people and OMG, this place changed my life. I met and made more business associates and more importantly, friends, in my 3 months here at BoxJelly from Jan to April than I have the last two years. I made an awesome business connection that led me to selling my business, and I made friends. I will never forget BoxJelly and I will NEVER NOT visit when I’m back in town. ¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₄ is my next visit. Peace out and Aloha!!!

A friend introduced me to the BoxJelly co-​working space last fall and when he found out I was going to be working remotely here in Honolulu this spring encouraged me to give BoxJelly a try. I’m so glad I did, as it has proved to be a great co-​working space with access to reliable and fast wi-​fi, a printer, scanner, small locker to keep files, kitchen with a Keurig so I can bring in K-​cups for my daily coffee fix, and flexible workspace options that include a small conference room for conference calls, desks in the main workspace for days when I need energy from my fellow co-​workers, plus a quieter back space for when I really need quiet to focus on things like budget work. There is also free parking on the 4^th and 5^th floor of Ward Warehouse! Also, if you ask, you can get your first drop-​in day for free which is a great way to check out the space and see if it will work for your needs.
They also have a conference room that seats about 10 — 12 people that can be rented out for just $ 35/​hour (as of now) and an event space that accommodates up to 60 people that can be rented for $ 125/​hour for a minimum of 2 hours (as of now). If you are an unlimited monthly member you get 8 hours of use of the conference room and small meeting room for free. They also have some really cool anchor tenants that rent office space out of their facility including Experience Hawaii, Hi-​Capacity, Über, and Kua.
I expected these things from a co-​working space, but what I didn’t know was that, in the four months I’ve been working out of here, I’d become a part of the BoxJelly community. I’ve gotten to know many of my fellow co-​workers really well and last night a bunch even turned out for an impromptu going-​away/​celebration karaōke party for me as I’ll be back on the mainland this summer. BoxJelly also hosts events and community meetings so I’ve gotten to attend a U of Hawaii Art History Art Installation here, Common Cause meetings, and big events like StartUp Weekend Hawaii. I didn’t know that I could find such a great and supportive community in a place where I was just looking for a desk to work out of. It’s a great co-​working space, and a great way to get connected in with the community and the great group of people that work out of the space. I’m so happy with my choice to work remotely from BoxJelly and am really looking forward to coming back here in August when I begin my PhD studies at the University of Hawaii.

This is a cool little work/​event zone. I really don’t get exactly how it works, but I’ve been to two events here and enjoyed them both. Parking can be a bit tricky, but just let them know, and they’ll find a stall for you.
Oh, and one of the owners (I think) is super cool. My friend and I asked about his walls and he took the time to explain it to us.

It was a great place to meet local freelance media talent

Review based on BoxJelly «Words + Pictures» Installation by Clifford Cheng:
As much as I love the ocean, my lack of strong swimming skills prevents me from enjoying dream activities like scuba diving & spear fishing. This is one reason I adore the Hawaii Skin Diver Magazine, because I’m able to vicariously live the underwater experience through their gorgeous prints & engaging articles.
Despite my best efforts, staying on top of my social networks, checking Facebook, Instagram & Twitter for upcoming events, there are a number of fun events I miss. That’s why I wanted to give a shout out to Jimmy DiCarlo for inviting me to «Words + Pictures» Installation featuring Clifford Cheng & Hawaii Skin Diver Magazine at The Box Jelly Coworking.
Attending the «Words + Picutres» Installation was my first time visiting The Box Jelly Coworking office & it was nice to finally stop by hole in the wall gem. I love how the white walls in The Box Jelly Coworking office made local designer & entrepreneur Clifford Cheng’s photos burst with life. If you’re an ocean enthusiast or Hawaii Skin Diver fan, you need to view Clifford’s larger than life magazine covers for yourself.
If you were unable to attend the Opening Night of the «Words + Pictures» photo installation, stop by The Box Jelly before Monday (09.30.13). Also be sure to «like» The Box Jelly Coworking, to stay up-​to-​date with JellyWorks, a rotating creative exhibition space showcasing the work of creatives locally & abroad.

Taking a hiatus in Hawaii for a month or so I needed a place to work from that was clean, quiet, professional and had the basic requirements for power and internet connection. I started working from my cousin’s house (chock full o’people) and soon realized, «this aint gonna fly.» Enter The Box Jelly. It was everything I needed to work comfortably and efficiently. Tony and Rechung helped me out whenever I needed something. In fact, I used Tony’s bike a few times to get around! I spent a lot of time here during my trip (hey, I work a lot) and the space and people were great. I met some good connections through the place as well. Oh, and they have ridiculously good coffee (a huge requirement for me!) So, if you need space to work from I would check this place out and you’ll be working on the fly in no time.

We used the Box Jelly for meetings for five days this week (everybody in my job works from home) and it could not have gone better. Bryan was awesome and helpful, the space was great and super convenient. This place is a godsend for people work from home! Thanks, guys!

The Box Jelly is a coworking office. Think of it like a shared office that independent contractors and entrepreneurs work out of. I’ve been doing work here for 3 days only, but I have plenty of good things to say already:
1. Great facilities.
Clean bathroom. A/​C. Surround sound music. A couch. A chess board. Conference room to bring your clients. A Skype room. Big desks. Electricity. WIFI. Refrigerator. Microwave. Peripherals. This place has the perfect setup for me to come in, do my work, and not leave until I’m finished.
2. Affordable rates.
As the office gets more and more facilities, membership prices will probably go up. In the meantime, the basic membership is really cheap: $ 75. Basic membership provides unlimited use. You might be thinking that there are a lot of free venues, but those places require that you be a customer. Furthermore, the Box Jelly and other coworking spots have better setups for working.
3. Good, professional crowd.
As an independent contractor, I started off going to different venues to do work, like McDonalds and the library. I ended up working at home after some time because it was hard to work around the loud, grade-​school kids and the smelly hobos at the venues I frequented. The Box Jelly offers a very different crowd. Everyone is there to work. And seeing other people work hard make you want to work hard as well. There is a little socializing going on sometimes, but you always have the option of putting headphones on if you don’t want to be distracted by conversations.

Great coworking environment! Innovative and inspiring.

31 UnilocalS REVIEW CHALLENGE, Day 1
Came to The Box Jelly last Wednesday night for WetWare Wednesday. I was very impressed by the turn out and the range of guests. Team Praxis was hosting this particular event and they brought in food, had beverages provided by Civil Beats and guest speakers from Start Up Weekend Honolulu. I always love hearing about new events that specifically involve the community.
The Box Jelly is a co-​working space where groups/​individuals/​entrepreneurs can come in, rent space, work on their projects, meet other individuals or do presentations. It’s ideal for those that do not have a work space and want to impress that group/​person who is eventually going to fund your great idea. Best part, they have wi-​fi, printers, etc available to use as well. They also host private events after 6pm, just call about reservations. So they have membership prices ($ 75/​month) or just drop in ($ 15). I think coffee, tea and water is still free but they do have drinks which you can purchase.
My only gripe about this place was that it got stuffy. I might be complaining because I’m pregnant and probably hot, but it was really stuff in there. Parking is also hard to come by, street only.
Another great thing about this place, it’s located right next to Fish Cake (furniture store) which I absolutely love.
Overall, great The Box Jelly is a great idea and I highly recommend it.

I like to GSD. (Get Shi. Stuff Done) I like having wifi that isn’t slow as molasses. I like sitting in comfortable chairs. I like having french pressed coffee.
If you like all of these things, you’ll _​love_​The Box Jelly. A cool, sheik coworking space popping up in Honolulu. It’s near Starbucks (if that’s your fancy), food and a lot of other options to propel you towards results you want.
People are accommodating and helpful.
I love working here.

If you’re like me, you just can’t work at home. It doesn’t matter if anyone is there and it’s a quiet still day, there are too many distractions! Enter The Box Jelly, a co-​working environment where I can finally get my work done and get out of the house.
It is a nice comfortable environment with super fast internet which allows me to do all my work and be more productive. There is always enough room for setting up and tons of free parking. The simple pricing structure also helps me as I am just starting out.
The best feature though are the abundant networking opportunities. Since you are working amongst other entrepreneurs you get to discuss and collaborate with your peers which easily makes the entire opportunity worthwhile.
If you’re looking for a perfect working environment and a great place to meet and work with others, this is definitely the place!

The Box Jelly, located a block from Ward Entertainment Center in Kaka’ako, is Hawaii’s first coworking space. If you’re not familiar with coworking, it’s a style of working which involves a shared environment. You’re still working independently, but have the opportunity to interact with others if you choose.
The Box Jelly has a great setup located in the back of Fishcake, a unique furniture store. The environment is great; it’s akin to working in an art gallery. They have comfortable lighting and nice music — it won’t distract or put you to sleep. They have a number of seating options and comfortable workspaces; various large tables with chairs, or if you’re in a more lounging mood, a couch and recliner. Included with the space fee is access to WiFi, color inkjet printer, and complimentary coffee.
On my first visit to the location, I had an opportunity to interact with one of the proprietors and another independent professional. I got an overview of what they’ve started at The Box Jelly and where they’re taking things. And we also briefly discussed the Hawaii coworking movement in general. After that, I connected to the complimentary WiFi and did a couple hours of work.
During the time I was there, there were from 2 to 5 other patrons. This included the staff member that kept an eye on the place, and kindly offered directions to the restroom when necessary. The restroom, by the way, is another design masterpiece and fits right in with the rest of the overall showroom.
When it came time to settle my bill, it was simple, they use Square for credit card payments, and I had my receipt via txt message before I was out the front door.
I highly recommend this location for anyone that’s stuck in the «coffice» rut over at Starbucks off Ward — You’ll get way more work done in The Box Jelly environment, and they won’t give you dirty looks for using their power outlets. Plus, you never know who you’ll run into and what great business ideas might come out of it!
I definitely look forward to seeing the space grow, and expect that I’ll soon be a regular.
