If you ever tried to find a table for four or more at a local coffee store to work on a group project or a startup idea, you know it is not an easy task. If you finally manage to Tetris your way out of rearranging chairs and tables, you are still met with annoyed glances from the barista behind the counter. Founded by four friends who were faced with this very problem, Croissant has an answer for all those in need for office space, but who either cannot afford or do not want to commit to a co-working space.
For $99 a month Croissant’s members can complement working from home, coffee store or regular office, by gaining 40 hours access to all 32 partnering co-working spaces across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey as well as a couple of locations in DC and Boston. Just check the mobile app to see where there is an empty space, book it and you are all set. Those with more extensive needs can choose the $299 membership which grants unlimited hourly access, but caps hours per venue at 60.
