This isn’t a bad cowork, and it is HUGE, which is novel. However, for the price and location I think you’re better suited with the other two above.
How Long Can You Work Here?
All day long man
Is It Video Call Friendly?
Yep! Plenty of quiet spots for video calls
Wifi – 4/5
Not the best. On my last test, I got an upload speed of 70, download of 53, and a latency of 72 *Not sure what these metrics mean? Learn more about getting fast wifi anywhere.
Atmosphere / Vibes – 3.5/5
Feels like a repurposed warehouse, which it is.
Amount Of Outlets – 5/5
Plenty of outlets
Price – 3.5/5
A day pass is about $12 USD, monthly passes start at around $200 USD
Gotta admit this is easily one of the prettiest coworks I’ve been to. The only thing is it’s a bit away from my favorite neighborhood in Medellin, Laureles.
Anyone who knows me knows I don’t like coworks that much, I really prefer cafe’s – but this spot doesn’t feel as much like a library as the other coworks I’ve been to.
Amount Of Outlets – 5/5
Tons of outlets!
Price – 3.5/5
Price for a halfday starts at around $8. Then they charge by the hour – with 100 hours being $150.
Semilla might be my favorite cafe to work from in the world, I absolutely love it here. The plants, the choice between a cafe and a cowork, it’s great! They have a cafe downstairs and a cowork upstairs
How Long Can You Work Here?
All day long man
Is It Video Call Friendly?
Yep! In the cowork they have a bunch of call booths
The cafe is reasonably priced, but the cowork feels a bit pricy at $150 a month. Admittedly, prices are like that here in Medellin now.
Location
Coworks – Best of the Rest
#4 – Kiin Living – This is a colive hotel, that has a cowork space – it’s a nice spot for sure.
#5 – WeWork – I didn’t work from here, but I do have some buddies who use WeWork. Their memberships give you access to locations around the world, and start at around $250 a month.
I don’t really love coworks, feels a lot like I’m back in a library as a kid. I can’t talk too loud, need to “wear appropriate clothing” all the bullshit I left at my last corporate job.
One of the prettiest views I’ve seen at a cowork cafe for sure, but not as far from everything as Bloom Cowork
How Long Can You Work Here?
Maybe not all day, as it’s a smaller spot – but I’d imagine a few hours without issue. Since it is a cafe I would recommend you buy lunch and a couple drinks if you’re staying for a while, don’t fuck it up for everybody by drinking water and sitting there all day please…
Is It Video Call Friendly?
I would say internal calls you could pull it off, there’s not too much loud music or anything. However, a client call probably isn’t a good idea.
They have a bunch of room upstairs for remote workers, and they’re totally cool with you hanging out for a while. They have a great selections of coffee, teas and food as well.
How Long Can You Work Here?
Probably all day, there is a lot of room upstairs. Of course, continue buying if you’re staying there all day brah. Don’t fuck it up for everyone please.
Is It Video Call Friendly?
Depends how many people are there haha. The wifi is definitely fast enough, but there may be a lot of background noise.
Wifi – 5/5
Plenty fast enough for anything you need. 144 Upload, 55 download, 8 latency/
Atmosphere / Vibes – 4/5
The staff was super attentive and friendly, just don’t have the beauty of places like Semilla or Pergamino
Open air beautiful spot with really high-quality coffee.
How Long Can You Work Here?
All day long man, I would recommend sitting upstairs as it’s the designated cowork spot (and actually has outlets). Since it is a cafe I would recommend you buy lunch and a couple drinks if you’re staying for a while, don’t fuck it up for everybody by drinking water and sitting there all day please…
Is It Video Call Friendly?
There is some seating on the porch, I would say internal calls you could pull it off, but with a client probably not a good idea.
Wifi – 3.5/5
This wifi isn’t winning any awards, but I’ve never had any issues. I got an upload speed of 23, download of 24, and a latency of 4 *Not sure what these metrics mean? Learn more about getting fast wifi anywhere.
Atmosphere / Vibes – 5/5
The staff was super attentive and friendly, seems like quite a few speak English, if you’re not a Spanish speaker
Amount Of Outlets – 5/5
Tons of outlets, but they’re all upstairs
Price – 4/5
The coffee is likely a bit more expensive, but dude it’s a free place to work from.
Location
Cafes To Work From – Best Of The Rest
#4 – Cafe Revolucion – Pretty cool little spot, particularly for meeting other foreigners, a bit small but I did work from there quite a bit.
#5 – La Parceria – While the Wifi had a few problems during a video call, the vibe of this place is pretty sweet, one of my new favorite spots to work from.
