Still stuck in pandemic-born work-from-home limbo? Maxxing out time at your local coffee shop just to get a little human interaction? There is a better way.
What you need is the pro design of the office with the freedom of home and the coffee and snacks of said cafe. Although Covid caused a fair number of SF's coworking spaces to close their doors, there's still more out there than just WeWork.
Whether you're new to venturing beyond your home office or a pre-pandemic shared office afficionado ready for a return to the outside world, our favorite coworking spots in the city will help make your job a little more enjoyable.
