The service I received here went above and beyond for my first coworking experience! I reached out…read moresimply because I needed a professional space I could do a Zoom call right after work. I sent my inquiry at night and first thing in the morning I had a response. The pricing is pretty fair but what sold me the most was the service received by Carolina. I dropped in the day before the call to check out the space and she gave me a tour of the beautiful space. There are all of the amenities you could need from coffee and wifi to a private space for a call and varying sized conference rooms. Carolina even changed my reservation to a room that was a better fit for my needs after explaining the call to her and didn't charge me the extra. I arrived early the day of my reservation and just planned on hanging out in the lobby area but was able to access the room early free of charge. I even noticed the small details like 3 different microwaves to accommodate for kosher and non kosher diets. I would go back again if ever there is a need!

I have been a happy member of "BCL" for 3+ years and never really thought to leave a review, but…read morerecently the BCL team have gone out of their way to accommodate my growing legal practice and they deserve a mention! When I first moved to Gowanus there were fewer options for co-workers - BCL were one of the first to do it right in the area. Cold brew coffee on tap, plenty of mixer events (topical & social). I have enjoyed the personal touches that founders Neil & Erin put on the space. They are always quick to refer business between members (either via their online community OR thoughtful introductions). Today I know they have more competition but I would never think of leaving - location 1 mini-block from the R @ Union. Great basic lunch & coffee options. Flexible plans from the Part Time 40-hr-month that I started with up to private team offices I'm not sure what else you need. Congratulations on running an awesome community - so glad to be a part!

I've had a mixed experience with iPostal / Farm Nomad. I was trying to retrieve credit cards that…read morehad been delivered to my mailbox. Initially, communication happened over email, but it involved a lot of back-and-forth questions rather than simply checking thoroughly for the mail. When I came in person the first time, Riley told me the cards could not be found. When I returned later, she explained that the mail had been placed in an "inactive" box. Apparently, if an account goes inactive, customers are expected to notify staff to check that area. I don't feel customers should need to instruct staff where to look for their own mail, especially for important items like credit cards. As a result of this delay, I now have three cards, two of which no longer work. Beyond the logistical issue, the interaction itself was disappointing. The responses came across as polite on the surface, but ultimately dismissive.it was not helpful or resourceful in trying to fix the situation, and focused more on telling me what I should do differently in the future rather than taking responsibility or offering solutions. The service itself has potential, but there needs to be clearer internal processes and better customer service when mistakes happen--especially when sensitive mail is involved.

I have to say this is nothing too fancy, but happens to be exactly what I need. There is a small dining area, on the right hand side when you walk in. It fits a double door fridge and a sink, along with a long dining table where you can also find disinfectants supplies. The main area isn't anything huge or fancy, but it is spacious enough to fit a few large tables and some individual seats by the window. There is also a small couch near the entrance area, next to a printer. High ceiling and ample lighting help create a space for work and study. Only downside for me is that the bathroom situation could be better. It is not gross, but also not the cleanest. For a big floor that can probably fit more than 15 people to the fullest, it has only two stalls. I have only been here during the weekends, and it had never been crowded. People here are usually really quiet and only focus on their own work. All in all, I would give this a 4.5 for its price and convenience.

The WiFi has been reliable and they have a lot of conference rooms to hold meetings. I look forward to their continental breakfast every morning (croissants, bagels, overnight oats, hard boiled eggs), and their afternoon snacks (pumpkin pie, brownies, etc). The interior is spacious and decorated with a lush array of plants, which helps get the creative juices flowing. Unlimited coffee and tea is also a great perk. Lots of food options nearby too. They have co-ed bathrooms which was a little strange at first but you quickly get used to it.

It seems like everyone at Brass Factory feels the same. I have never met a more unprofessional, rude, and strange person in my life. Im not going to be moving forward with my membership. I would never bring a client or investor here, because this person is so unbelievably unprofessional. She is terrible, truly truly terrible, and is rude to pretty much everyone, she has yelled at other members and more than one person who has done a tour has withdrawn their membership because of her terrible behavior.

I was texted at 5:00 am in the Morning. When I responded asking for more photos I was ignored and ghosted. Most of business who have not interest in moving forward have the decency to turn you down. There pis not integrity or accountability. You would think owning a business this long they would have some type of humanity and a bit of integrity especially working with Artist. Most of us struggle financial and havping connection with Artist it would make since.

RCC came equipped with picnic tables, concession stand selling reasonably-priced theater goodies (although feel free to bring your own small nosh), much-needed warm blankets, cozy chairs, & most surprising of all -- headphones, so as not to disturb the neighbors. You don't have to miss a single line out of Tom Cruise's mouth because the headphones work down to the bathrooms (which were spacious & clean) two floors down (I personally wouldn't keep mine on for safety reasons, but maybe I'm just a paranoid mess!) A well-put together event, & the ambiance of the 360-degree view of surrounding BK cannot be beat. "You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth!" The truth is RCC & Office Ops make a great pair in hosting an unforgettable movie night for me & my peeps.

Garbage is still piling up sometimes. They have a new problem. As of this year, there is no way to pay the rent without being charged a fee for the privilege. Credit card payments are charged a percentage. ACH transfers are assessed a fee. They do not accept a paper check. I can't stand 'pay to pay' schemes. It would definitely be illegal if this were residential rent, but because it's commercial, I'm not sure.

I am currently in my third year here at java studios so I can speak from a good amount of…read moreexperience. The owners and people who manage the building have been professional and friendly the entire time I have been here. The people working to keep the building clean and well maintained are also very nice and seem to be very on top of keeping the bathrooms clean and the floors and walls pristine. I have multiple clients in and out of my studio on a daily basis and the first thing that every new customer says is "this building is amazing!" While there are more affordable studio buildings in Brooklyn, Java Studios has a more professional feel and heat/AC, electricity and WiFi are all included in the price. So don't be fooled when looking at the price of other spaces as I have found that the price listed is not including any amenities and often ends up being several hundred more in addition to the listed price. Considering the level of attention and care that the management are able to offer, plus no hassle/no drama when ever I need anything from them and the fact that all amenities are included, not to mention 3 blocks from the G Train- the cost of renting a studio here is more than reasonable. I see that Java Studios has some negative reviews but as we all know, one or two people's opinion can sometimes say more about them than it does about the business... I treat people with understanding and respect and I have received nothing but understanding and respect back from everyone here at Java Studios. I carry myself and deal with people in a professional manner and I only work with other people who are able to function at a high level of professionalism such as the people who run Java Studios. I would recommend Java studios to anyone who is a serious artist/ entrepreneur and is looking for a no muss no fuss, beautiful, reasonably priced studio in a great location.
