Sandbox Suites

I work here all the time while I’m in San Francisco. Great place to check in and get some quiet work done with quality Wi-​Fi or host a meeting. Of course, there’s always plenty of coffee to stay properly caffeinated. The Sutter Street garage is only a few blocks away making it very convenient for those who actually own a car. For everyone else, there is Über!

Fast wifi, plenty of space to work, friendly staff, interesting «coworkers.» What more could you ask for?

A great option if you have work to do, hours to wait, and you’re not a local in SF. Comfortable, lots of power options, a great staff, and other conveniences. I had a Unilocal deal to come use the service — and they ended up letting me try it out for free. Fantastic!

Sandbox Suites is my virtual home away from home, literally. I have a virtual membership at Sandbox for my law firm business, meaning I maintain a mailbox here and enjoy a member discount if I need to book a conference room for meetings. Eric, the community manager, sends an email notifying me each time I receive mail which is a great service. Available rooms for booking are plenty and the place itself is stylish and modern. I specifically chose the Union Square location because it’s right above Hang Art and close to other great SF galleries — as a arts/​entertainment lawyer, I like to give my clients that added bonus of being able to check out these galleries if they meet with me at Sandbox.
I do want to note that this location is on the third floor of a building with no elevator. Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue for me but for the 2 – 3 months that I was on crutches and in a boot after breaking my ankle, going to Sandbox was somewhat inconvenient (that’s the only negative).

I spend every other Friday here since my office is in Santa Clara and I live in Emeryville. Hellllllo long commute. Anyways, this location is in THE best location. A block away from Union Square. I hate the tourists but I love that it’s so close to shopping, food, etc.
The office itself is clean and modern inside. Some of the smaller conference rooms get pretty toasty but all you do is crack open a window and let the SF breeze roll in. The employees are all really friendly. Nothing bad to say about this location!
Side note: Sometimes they order lunch for everyone on Fridays. =)

I really enjoy working from home. It’ s perfect for me.

Came to San Francisco to deliver a half day seminar. I was very happy with Sandbox Suites. Beautiful venue, good service and amenities, great location on metro. I would give 5 stars if the room rental for an evening was not 50% of my rent back at my incubator in DC…

I hosted an event at Sandbox Suites and really loved the facilities. I’ve been to many co-​working spaces in San Francisco but this is by far the nicest. Beautiful décor makes for an inviting and pleasant work space. Clean kitchen with all the amenities is a great bonus. If you are looking for a centrally located co-​working space in the city I highly recommend you check this place out.

We’ve been working at Sandbox for the last 4 months. I love everything about it, but my two favorites things are:
1) easy access by Muni/​Bart
2) the office has a shower, so I can run to work in the morning instead of taking Muni.
I’d recommend Sandbox to anyone who is currently working out of their apartment or a local coffeeshop.

Sandbox rocks. We’ve been members since the Union Square location opened in September. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Sasha and Roman provide everything, so that we can focus on our business.
A big perk is the location. At first we thought we’d be stuck with tourist lunch places because of the nearby hotels. Turns out, the tourists don’t venture too far from Union Square. Just a couple blocks away, there are tons of great lunch places, with good prices, and quick service.
I definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out.

With a 7-​month old at home and growing pains of a startup the Sandbox suite provides ideal working environment for my needs. The place has a great layout, tasteful, well thought out and in a premium location.
There is a check-​in counter with someone always present during business hours. It is great for the occasional meeting in the office, because it has «reception» feel and creates a very professional visitor experience. I had client comment that I «have a very cool office». In response, without thinking, I blurted out that it’s a co-​working space and I am just a part-​time member. However, this is exactly why it is an awesome place, because it feels like «your own, very cool office».
The place is very well equipped. The trip to the office, doesn’t feel like a complete move in and move out every time. There are convenience lockers to lock up equipment if you have to step out for lunch or a meeting, there is wireless throughout the area with easy setup and there are external community monitors for shared use. Supplies are always adequate to not have to lug around everything you «might» need.
There are plenty of meeting/​conference rooms that are restricted to the type of your membership and can be purchased separately for additional time. The electronic schedule is posted outside each conference room. Availability is never an issue if you need to reserve it or step in to make a call. This was key for me when I joined, because having a place to make calls or hold meetings without disrupting other members contributes greatly to the professional environment.
The productive environment of the Sandbox is critical to getting things done. Working alone most of the time, I like the «happening» feel of the place. The location makes up for much of the feel: strolling through Union Square after an intense day has it’s own benefits — helps come out of the «inside» of your head and feel the lively city vibe. It can be particularly uplifting after those long days that seem to never end.
Rules of the house posted on every table in the general area in a humorous but to-​the-​point way. Occasional happy hours are great to get to know other members and there are business development events that I have yet to take advantage of.

Great co-​working space and friendly staff. I have been a «Sandboxee» for the past 4 months and find the space to be very comfortable and practical for our current start-​up. We have met some interesting companies and enjoy the brainstorming sessions we have with other «Sandboxees». Sasha and Roman are great owners and take into account any of your needs and try their best to accommodate you. Great location in downtown Union Sq and we like to sit in union Square and have our brainstorming sessions on nice days.

I have been working at Sandbox Suites for the past eight months, and I’m *very* satisfied with every aspect of it. We have all the resources we need, and the staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. The Union Square space is very modern and right in the heart of downtown– it doesn’t get much better than that!
Sarah, Roman, and Sasha do an amazing job keeping the place professional, social, and interesting (tea times, networking events, holiday parties are held regularly!). Great location, and Theater Too café is my favorite spot for lunch next door :). Thanks, Sandbox!

The Union Square location offers all the awesomeness of Sandbox Suites with the added value of being located closer to financial and entertainment heart of the city.
Out of all the Sand Box suites locations i’ve been to — this one — is my favorite.

Sandbox Suites is a terrific concept for entrepreneurs, consultants, and other small businesses who need meeting space, conference space, or coworking space on a short-​term or long-​term basis. I was a prospect for over a year before becoming a client and fan a few months ago. The convenience of being able to drop into one of three locations with clients, or on my own, based on my other meetings and schedules is huge. The spaces are nicely appointed and designed for business — especially the new facility on Sutter Street. The only drawback is the long flight of stairs to the main space, which is a negative for someone who is not physically active and a problem for someone who requires ADA access. Perhaps there is another access point and I just did not see it. But since there are multiple locations, this is not an insurmountable problem. The staff and management are incredibly professional, helpful and engaged. Every client I have brought to Sandbox Suites loves the ingenuity of the idea in addition to appreciating the nice physical space.
