If you happen to be in need of an office space in the Laurentiens, for a day or on the regular, I highly recommend this bright, clean, super friendly coworking in St Sauveur! I booked through their website and it was pretty seamless - I forgot to indicate the date I needed a private office in the comments during my purchase, but I shot an email over and got an answer within seconds that my office was booked and all was well.
I was warmly greeted when I arrived and actually given my choice of rooms while we chatted about my needs for the day. After hearing that I'd be recording an interview Marie-Laure from the Espace Coworking team actually came to find me to see if the construction noise she'd noticed was a problem and to offer me yet another option. This was super thoughtful and really made my day productive and successful.
The offices are all bright, clean, stylish and just a little cosy. The views are wonderful. I watched falcons play in the thermal wind currents around the mountain through my windows all day long. Relaxing and inspiring.
There are comfortable spaces for meetings of various sizes - maybe max 12 people? - and the hot desk area seemed quiet and functional, I'll definitely take advantage next time I just need some super solid internet and cell reception and a place to get some focused work done.
There is also a well-equipped, very clean kitchen with a seating area and a Keurig coffee machine. This is my one tiny comment - I think with the planet in a plastic crisis, if you're going to use a Keurig, I think it would be great to use the biodegradable cups. It breaks my heart to see the pile of plastic in the garbage. Small stuff but it adds up ya know?
Anyway, I had a great experience. Marie-Laure shot me an email after I left just checking in to make sure everything had gone smooth. The personal touch plus the professional ease of the space make it a coworking I'm so happy to have access to up north. I'd love to see this group expand the concept into a couple other towns in the region, like St Jovite, Val David, Ste Agathe, and to build relationships with small business councils in the area to really help emerging businesses in the region! read more
