They get a star just for that feature alone. They have everything you'd expect from a coworking space, with the added benefit of being located in Westfield Center. So there's no shortage of dining options. I can walk here, but if you take public transit, you're in luck: BART and underground MUNI are a few floors downstairs, and you have all of the Market Street surface lines as well. They have a dedicated, flexible event space down the hall from the coworking space. There's a climbing wall (!), phone booths, a nap room, and the usual kitchen and conference rooms. I don't know whether she is still there, but I toured pre-pandemic with Kimberly Monárrez. I was only there for a tour, on a day when I was visiting other coworking spaces as well, so I can't attest to how well the wifi did or didn't work. I'd say the way the space is set up and curated makes it attractive if you're a creative type who likes something different. This isn't a tech bro run-of-the-mill spot like Regus, NextSpace, or the now-defunct Sandbox Suites. Bespoke bills itself as a "Tech Retail Centered " space, but I felt the ambience and energy there would be just right for me; I'm an author and cultural producer. There's a broad range of seating assignments from which to choose, and the general feel of the space is light, expansive, inviting, and airy. And for me personally, an incandescent bulb always lights up inside me where there are dogs. I know how nutty it sounds, but I work far better when I have my little Rat Terrier with me. I teach professional development workshops and craft seminars for writers, and Bespoke has several classrooms here that would be perfect for renting. Alas, after all this, I can only dream about working here. At over $400/month for the Shared Desk access, it's not commensurate with my budget. One star off for that :-( Too bad they don't offer "COVID rates" or something, LOL. I've applied for some literary grants because I now have a book deal. If I get any grant funding, I'm hoping I can manage at least a few months here. The atmosphere alone would help push me to my manuscript's finish line! In the interim, SPACES on Third & Mission is offering some terrific deals right now because they've been so empty during the past 16 months. That is a nice place, too, and worth a look, but it's a more austere space. No dogs and no climbing wall! :-P Not really geared for creatives, IMO. I never got to do a Bespoke trial day, so if you give this place a look, ask about that and try to take advantage of it...before SF goes into a new (Delta-variant) lockdown.

You get a small pour of 10 to start of the night while you wait for the main event. They have displays of years I can only dream of having, a photo area, bar, etc. Once you get into the tasting room, you get a small sample of Macallan 10, 12, 15 and rare cask. I guess they normally have 18 as the last taste, but we were lucky enough to try the rare cask. I've been to paid tastings before, so I found the pours small, but this was free, so I can't complain. The space itself is fairly nice. Macallan used the front reception area well and spaced out the different exhibits, etc. The tasting room was was a good size with an array of tables for 6. Every table seemed to have a good view of the stage. I know they do other free tastings here, so I look forward to the next time I get to go to Bespoke Events.

I had such a fantastic experience with Bespoke Cycles in San Francisco for my fit and custom build…read morethat I felt compelled to write a long-term review. The Bike Fit Earlier this year, I decided to get back into cycling after a long hiatus. I had been commuting on a 20-year-old steel bike, but quickly realized it was agonizing on rides longer than an hour. I worked with Ari at Bespoke to fix this. He patiently interviewed me, measured me, and used Retül pressure mapping to revolutionize my position. He modified my old bike, set me up with new shoes, and dialed in a saddle that finally worked. While the tech is impressive, Ari's instincts are sharper; I get the sense he could nail a perfect bike fit with just a tape measure and his eyes. Once I felt the difference, I wanted a new bike immediately. Ari actually urged patience. He encouraged me to ride the new fit for a few months--on my old bike, my trainer and on rental bikes--to validate the changes before we committed to a build. When i experienced back pain after some longer rides Ari realized it might not be a bike fit issue and referred to me to a bike focused physical therapist (Action Sports Medicine in Sausalito) who was able to accurately diagnose my situation and suggest exercises to remediate it, which worked! As a team they really changed my relationship to the sport. The Dream Bike The eventual build process was a true collaboration. I knew generally what I wanted, but Ari guided the specifics. I wanted a flagship machine and was willing to pay for it, but Ari consistently focused on value. He even talked me down from some unnecessary upgrades. In hindsight, his advice was always spot-on, avoiding the usual industry marketing hype. The result is a mixed-material Titanium and Carbon All-Road bike from Seven Cycles. I have two separate wheelsets (which Ari hand-built using Reserve carbon rims) to swap between road and gravel. We also collaborated on a custom scheme with Black Magic Paint in Portland, who perfectly color-matched the bottle cages and a Silca frame pump to the frame's carbon elements. The bike fits like a glove. I was out on a 6-hour ride recently and felt fresh enough to do six more. As a tinkerer, I've inspected the bike closely; the tolerances and assembly quality are flawless. Build Specs Frame: Seven Axiom (Ti/Carbon Mix) Groupset: SRAM Red AXS 2024 Fork: Parlee Gravel/Cross Fork (Custom Painted) Finishing Kit: Enve Paint: Custom by Black Magic Paint (Portland) Road Wheels: Reserve 34|37 (Hand-built by Ari) Gravel Wheels: Reserve 25|GR (Hand-built by Ari) Pump: Silca Impero (Custom Painted) Final Thoughts I noticed his computer background was Picasso's Guernica, which made sense--Ari is as much an artist as a master builder. Building this bike felt like an act of curation. Here is my advice for getting the best experience at Bespoke, which might carry over other custom builders people might work with as well: Responsiveness: Ari is incredibly responsive. He answered countless small questions during the build within hours. Don't hesitate to reach out; he makes time for you. Documentation: Keep a log. There are a hundred details in a custom build. Keeping your own notes and proactively sharing them ensures redundancy and prevents miscommunication. Collaboration: Working with Ari can be a gateway to the kind of bike building experience very few others can realize, but you are well served to be an active participant. Ari is a master, but treating this as a partnership rather than just a transaction yields the best results. Your engagement will pay off in the final product. I give Bespoke Cycles SF my highest recommendation. Ari didn't just build me a bike; he ushered in a new era of adventure in my life.

After finally getting a bike plus a tune up, I let the bike sit untouched for months. With the nice…read moreweather out, I finally felt motivated to go for a ride, but when I went to put air in the tires, the front wouldn't hold. After countless online searches, Reddit threads, and YouTube videos, I looked up the closest shop and called ahead with a few questions. Ari patiently walked me through what to check over the phone, but I was still unsure of the issue and brought it in. He kindly took it in for the needed flat fix. I really appreciate how patient and helpful he was, both on the phone and in person, especially with someone who doesn't know much about bikes. Great service, very approachable, and made the whole process easy. I'll definitely be coming back next time I need anything. Hoping this is the start of getting out on my bike.

Disaster. Waited 4 weeks for an appointment at this place. Told the tailor exactly what we needed…read moreover the phone - a dress needed to be tailored to fit. Gave her the brand, size, etc. she quoted us $160. Steep, but reasonable given the quality of the dress. She took measurements. After the fitting, she told us the cost would be $400. $400 to tailor a dress?!? That's more than most dresses cost. Why? She said, "wedding dresses cost more." We explained that it wasn't a wedding dress (I'm already married!). But she wouldn't change the price. It felt strange and uncomfortable and kind of awful to be called a liar. Walked out and found another tailor who did an epic job for $120. Went to the party (NOT A WEDDING) and felt fabulous. Skip this place. p.s. Apparently this owner gaslights customers. To clarify: 1. I definitely called in advance, 2. I was definitely overcharged, 3. It was definitely Lily from Irena's studio. Not confused, and not a mistake. Avoid avoid avoid.

During our first meeting, Lily was thorough, clear, and explained each recommendation and steps of the alteration process. I loved how for each visit, Lily took a step by step approach to alter my dress so that she could confirm that I was happy before moving forward to other aspects. I also appreciated that if I had a recommendation or question, Lily really listened and did not make me feel rushed during my appointment. I received so many compliments on my dress during the wedding and my photos came out so good as well. I'm so grateful for Lilys expertise and would highly recommend her!
