The Coop

No longer called the Coop! its Nextspace. However the young lady that took care of us (Ashley?) was great. I never did get to say goodbye but thank you! The space is very open and clean. She gave us an office space in the back room so the 3 of us could spread out, this help quite a bit. if I get a chance i will return

I’ve been to coworking spaces all over the US and, I have to say, The Coop has one of the best layouts I’ve been apart of. You feel no isolation from anyone else regardless of your membership tier.
The furniture is fantastic as well as the location. I’ll be coming here every time I’m in Chicago!

Great place to stop in and work for the day. The coop’s pet dog was awesome!

Sit at home all day? Moping? Longing for human interaction? If you’re average day involves lots of working on your computer and it’s time to get some interaction with someone other than your door guy, then this is the place to come. Great minds congregate here each day to solve some of the biggest problems. Companies like Über, AirBnB, and more call this place home because they see the value in working together with other smart people.
My only complaint is that if you’re on the phone often, it can feel constraining since most others work diligently at their computers. But I knew that going in. Supposedly they are getting phone booths soon to make your calls without feeling like you are disturbing others.

Friendly… nice people… easy to get to… nice space for working. perfect for me.

We’ve been running our two-​person business out of The Coop for almost a year now and love it. We love the energy of being in a space with a lot of other people, and the sheer variety of businesses represented there make sure we are always hearing about great ideas across a wide spectrum. It can be a bit noisy, but that doesn’t bother me too much. The location, huge desks, and the ever-​changing artwork on the walls make it the perfect spot for me.

Location, space, pricing, service. The Coop has it all. It’s a perfect temporary or semi-​permanent workspace. The cool, friendly (but not too friendly) vibe is welcoming and approachable. Public transportation-​friendly, it’s right off Brown Line in one of my favorite Chicago neighborhoods. Jocelyn (of the on-​site design firm that owns the Coop) is the incredibly approachable and professional glue that holds the operation together. Book your spot now.

While I was in the process of moving cities and securing a new place in Chicago, I worked from The Coop for several weeks. I was very pleased with the space and the other people there. If I didn’t have a home office now, I would almost certainly still be working out of The Coop. I definitely recommend the place if you need to find a temporary place to work for a day or week. And I know the monthly renters there are generally very pleased with their setup.

I’ve been coming to The Coop for over 1.5 years now, and having worked in a number of different environments — cubes, corporate offices, home offices, coffee shops, other co-​work spaces — I can confidently say that The Coop is by far the best place I’ve ever worked in.
The people are great, the energy is great, and the coffee is free. I couldn’t ask for anything better. I particularly appreciate the flexibility that The Coop offers. I travel a lot, so it’s perfect that I can pay-​per-​use at a very reasonable price.
If you’re tired of working from home or you’re not happy with your current work environment, I highly recommend The Coop.

Cool concept — this place offers shared office space for stay-​at-​home workers who need more space and a quiet place to work productively and budding entrepreneurs. Tad pricey though the place is clean and resembles a loft. Noises carry throughout because of the open layout and lack of fabrics to help dampen the noise as people walk on the wood floors. People can rent by the day or by the week or month. Location is ideal if you have access to the green line or bus that goes towards the West Loop.
