What Our Members Are Saying

I have been a NextSpace member going back to 2010. This is essentially ground zero of the coworking movement, helping shift the coffeeshop workers into a collaborative cocreative workspace where ideas can be bounced around and office camaraderie brings people together. The community managers help with introductions, community outreach, and advocates of collaboration. It is truly a wonderful space.
I've used this Coworking space a few times when I've been unable to work from home. I really appreciate the friendly supervisors, the convenient booking system, the kitchen amenities, the nice, large, clean working space, and the fact that they are still operating during Covid. Thank you, it's been a life saver!
Awesome Coworking space with kind and friendly community of people! Adam the community manager is a class act and super welcoming / east going. Was planning to just stay in Santa Cruz for a night but ended up staying an extra night on my road trip cause this space so great!
Excellent coworking space with fantastic facilities.
The most underrated part of a coworking space is the community. NextSpace in downtown Santa Cruz is an excellent spot that blends community, entrepreneurship, collaboration, and fun.
It is by far the best Co-working space, with a good vibe, a nice setup, and an accommodating team. perfect for startup companies and remote workers.
NextSpace Santa Cruz is hands-down the best coworking space I’ve ever experienced! My family of 4 (plus 2 guinea pigs) pack up our RV and move to Santa Cruz for the summer to escape the brutal Texas heat, and I am so grateful to have discovered this gem of a workspace. Harlan and Ashley are truly the best people on earth! They were welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely caring, always going above and beyond to customize the space to meet individual needs. Whether it was parking suggestions, local recommendations, secure bike parking, extra monitors, or a variety of work setups, they had it all covered. Walking in every day and connecting with Harlan on a personal level set such a positive tone for my day. Plus! Ya'll, the community here is legit! Beyond the incredible staff, every member was warm, engaging, and supportive, which made my experience even better. From snacks and drinks to fun happy hours, this space created such a positive work environment. I can't wait to return next summer—Nextspace Santa Cruz, you’ve got a customer for life!
When I heard about NextSpace in 2008, I knew something really cool was about to happen and I wanted to be part of it. I’ve been a member ever since. NextSpace provides a community for working professionals, a differentiator from other coworking spaces which provide “rental spaces”. My fellow members span many industries, we’re not just tech workers. I look forward to the many events that happen here, from lunch-n-learns, to the Friday Happy Hours. Whether you work for yourself, or remotely for a company, if you want a break from the WFH life, come join us!
Excellent coworking space with great amenities (free coffee and sparkling water!). Highly recommend when you need a quiet place to work or take calls.
NextSpace is a welcoming, flexible, friendly coworking space with a wonderfully personal approach. Staff members Harlen & Ashleigh are both awesomely hospitable, helpful humans, and they were great about tailoring my membership to my needs (space, quiet, flexibility, and affordability). They also do a great job of encouraging a sense of community and shared responsibility for the space. Plus, free breakfast and afternoon snacks every day, not to mention Happy Hour every Friday? Heck yes. Thank you NextSpace!
