There are many of us that work remotely these days. If not all the time, at least part of the time. The question is where do you go when you don't want to physically work at home? It is often a too loud at coffee shops to conduct calls and if you don't have an in-home office setup then it may be distracting at home. Well we've done some research in ideal work solutions for you remote workers. Below is a top 10 list of great places to work in LA, when you're out of the office but need to be 'in the office'.
1.Blankspaces, Wilshire5405
Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036
www.blankspaces.com
Blankspaces is a paid shared workspace for freelancers and professionals that work from home. They provide various options for workspace. You can rent a station, office, desk, etc. They have a pretty nice work environment. If you can't afford having your own office and need a place to be productive try Blankspaces. They have anything you need that would be in a regular office. Rates vary depending on what kind of space you reserve. Go to the website to check it out.
2.Cafe Corsa, Downtown, LA
2238 S Figueroa St
Los Angeles, CA 90007-2049
(213) 746-2604
Tucked away in downtown Cafe Corsa is a great place if you need a little caffeine lift and a quiet and sane place to work. With free wi-fi and eclectic music and the owner is friendly. It's a small place, but it's perfect if you don't want to be distracted and have a lot of writing to do. The Latte's are exceptionally fantastic.
3.The Central LA Public Library, Downtown LA
630 W 5th St
Los Angeles, CA 90071-2002
(213) 228-7000
If you don't have calls to make, this library is a beautiful place to work. With free wi-fi and a world of resources at your fingertips, I would work here all day if I didn't have calls to make. If you really need to get your head in the books, the massive Central Library is a great place to get work done.
4.Urth Cafe, Downtown LA
451 South Hewitt Street
Los Angeles, CA 90013
Urth cafe in downtown is exceptionally great. Free wi-fi and plenty of tabletops to work off of. I had a little bit of trouble connecting but they will provide you a wi-fi code with purchase, and how can you go to Urth without buying that Spanish Latte? Phone calls, go ahead, there are both an outside and inside seating area making it a perfect getaway to get your work done.
5.Lyric Hyperion Theatre Cafe, LA
2106 Hyperion Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(323) 540-0935
In Silverlake, Hyperion is a pretty popular cafe where people come to work, play, eat and drink (coffee that is). If you're working through lunch, stop by here. This great cafe has free wifi and a large patio, allowing you to enjoy the freedoms of working from home and tan while you work.
6.Starbuck's Culver City
9718 Washington Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 204-1075
This is a great place to work and network. However, no free wi-fi here! If I was going to work at Starbucks however, this is the only one that I would go to.
7.Coffee Bean, Studio City
12930 Ventura Blvd
Studio City
818) 783-8068
The great thing about Coffee Bean is the free wi-fi, usually it's pretty loud and small in many coffee beans, this one has a great outdoor seating area where you can still access the free wi-fi. The baristas are pretty friendly as well.
8.Grounded Cafe, Sherman Oaks
14241 Ventura Blvd
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
(818) 501-0600
This is a true Internet cafe. It lacks the luxuries of plush furniture but it gets the trick done. If you're a regular remote worker, working here is a good idea. Be careful parking on the street though, there are regular street sweepers here. Wi-fi code is available with a $3 dollar purchase and they have a frequent buyer card that comes in pretty handy. If you live in the S.O. try Grounded Cafe.
9. Americana's patio, Glendale
233 S Brand Blvd
Glendale, CA 91204-1309
(818) 637-8982
This patio is lovely especially during the weekday when no one is around. If you're staying past closing time, I may re-think it since there is quite a crowd around Americana in the afternoon, but if you have some time in the morning to get work done, the patio here is great and you can pick up wi-fi from various locations.
10. Starbuck's South Park, Downtown LA
1111 S Grand Ave
Los Angeles
(213) 749-1751
- AT&T customers come here. This quaint neighborhood in Downtown LA boasts this lovely Starbucks with some of the nicest patio furniture that we have seen at a Starbuck's. No free wi-fi again, but the crowd here is interesting and being steps away from Staples you can run into just about anyone.
Happy Working!
