Impact Hub Austin
If there are two things Austinites love, it’s coffee shops and working from home (or at least not working in a stuffy office). Some local business owners have figured out a way to combine the two. Check out these six co-working spaces in Austin.
1/ Createscape

Newer to the Austin scene, Journey Coworking opened in fall 2016.

You can also purchase a day pass through an application process on their website.
Journey Coworking, formerly called ATX Factory, teamed up with local businesses such at Hatch for interior design, as well as Kosmic Kombucha, Blue Owl Brewing and Chameleon Cold-Brew for refreshments. Members can fully enjoy both indoors and outdoors. There’s a back room for yoga and meditation, plus a food truck park outside overlooking East Austin’s Secret Beach.
