Start-up cafes: SF favorites revealed

Jackson West's got a lovely post on how wired cafes are replacing office space--and back bedrooms--as start-up starters. However, he's failed to list two of my favorites-- Canvas Gallery, where we started working on Rojo back in 2003 (I still go there--easy to park), and Coupa Cafe, on Ramona Street in Palo Alto, where everyone local seems to go.

Hi Susan! I run one of these collaborative spaces, called Coworking.

If youre tired of working at Starbucks or fighting for a table at Ritual, you should drop by Coworking in San Francisco; we have back door access to a coffee shop and a cool space we work out of Mondays and Tuesdays. We run it as a co-op and membership model; someone gets a slot in the Coworking group, with a month to month commitment; when they leave, they find their replacement person. In this way we distribute the responsibility and make the overhead of running coworking low. Check out our web page at http://codinginparadise.org/coworking, or email me at bkn3@columbia.edu for details.

Best,

Brad

Hi,

I love your blog Susan, but you did not post a picture of yourself. We feel more comfortable when we know who our webmistress is:)
