Your 2019 guide to every single Brooklyn coworking space

Photo via Class & Co.

It’s time to part ways with your beloved, go-to coffee shop. Brooklyn is ripe with freelancers, start-ups, and small businesses and coworking spaces are some of the best spots to get these businesses and your career running smoothly. Tons of Brooklyn nabes have cool spots to rent a desk or an office, alongside other freelancers, masters-of-all-trades, biz starters, and creatives. There’s lots of spots to keep track of, but don’t worry, we did the work for you.

Each work space has different elements: size, vibe, flavor, and amenities. From chill and casual to dreamy and artsy to classic and corporate, there’s a coworking space that will be totally-you and fit your needs to a T. Perks vary from spot to spot, but you can find everything from free coffee and tea to printers and copy machines to backyards and rooftops, arts and event spaces, dog-friendly studios, free ZipCars, receptionists, mail service, and more.

Just as in our previous coworking space round-up, availability was based on three specs: how many members they can accommodate, turnover, and whether they have monthly members and day passes. Low availability indicates they have a limited number of members, low turnover and no day passes. A high availability means they have a bigger space that can house more members comfortably, and offer day passes in addition to monthly memberships. Everybody else is in-between.
