coLAB

Best coworking & event space in Sonoma County!

coLAB is this hidden gem in downtown Santa Rosa. It offers entrepreneurs and small business owners everything from shared workspace and private offices to event and wellness spaces.

I’ve been using coLAB for some time now to host various events from small to medium-sized ones. With the location being right downtown and plenty of parking available this makes it easy for my guests to attend any event I put on.

On top of that, you get amazing staff like Jessie and Riley who are supporting you every step of the way — the customer service is top notch and I highly recommend checking out coLAB for all your business needs, especially for your next business event.

coLAB was a great space for me to work for the day while I was in Santa Rosa for work. I was visiting a client in Santa Rosa and decided to work the day up here compared to our office in the East Bay. The place was clean, quiet, and very well-maintained, and the amenities were solid. Good coffee machine, snacks, and lots of space to choose from (phone booths, rooms, desks, couches, etc.) all with outlets and the full setup. I'll definitely be working from here again when I'm in the area, and a great location in downtown too!

From the moment I stepped into coLAB, curated with care by Jessie, Riley, and Pauline, I was captured by its unique and transformative energy. This isn't just a co-working space - it's a vibrant community, an incubator for ideas, and a runway for real business growth for entrepreneurs.

What sets coLAB apart from other workspaces I've tried – from clinical corporate settings to exclusive executive destinations – is the purposeful blend of practicality and passion. Here, you'll encounter not only well-fitted meeting rooms, personal work nooks, and adaptable spaces for team collaboration or large events but also an atmosphere charged with dynamic entrepreneurial spirit.

Thanks to coLAB, my consultancy has found a home where it could grow - practically and holistically. Every inch of its fresh and bright design feels like a testament to their commitment to fuel innovation and promote synergy. But it doesn't stop there, the coLAB team’s foresight and dedication extend beyond the physical.

Nestled among a tapestry of diverse businesses at coLAB, I have drawn inspiration, found collaboration, and built relationships that have been instrumental in my consultancy's development. I am truly grateful for this remarkable haven that Jessie, Riley, and Pauline have cultivated. I highly recommend coLAB to other entrepreneurs and business owners seeking to elevate their journey amidst a supportive, driven, and inventive community.

I needed to be in Santa Rosa overnight so I drove into town in the morning and worked from CoLAB all day. The lady who showed me around was really nice and answered my questions over the phone about parking and showed me around when I got there. I went on a Friday and it wasn't very full. I used the phone booths for the couple of meetings I had. Lots of great lunch options around (recommend the banh mi place across the street) and a nice park nearby to take a break.

Would work from here again.

The team at CoLAB make it super easy to get up and running quickly with absolutely no fuss. Just sign up, pay your membership online and you're there and working the next morning. Quiet, respectful co-workers and a stylish and well-equipped atmosphere enabled me to get my short-term project done in the most productive way. Thank you!

I love this space! I've been running my business out of coLAB for well over a year now and have seen my business THRIVE. The professional environment has kept me focused, especially during COVID, and the networking opportunities are prevalent. I really cannot recommend this space enough if you're self-employed like myself, a small/medium business or someone who just needs a workspace away from home. This is an amazing option.

Being a coLab member gives our team the flexibility of office space, without needing to handle all the administrative burdens of managing an office. With a small team like ours, we get the added perks of a large office space, as well as being around other members who aren't part of our team adds value to our daily work experience!

Working from CoLAB instead of from home has been a game changer for me. I love the structure of having an “office” to go to, when I want. I also like the variety of options I have: sitting at my desk, using a phone booth, booking the conference room or sitting in the chill lounge upstairs. The managers are wonderful and the people who also work from there are very nice. Fun activities and great community.

The coLAB is a super inviting space. This is my first time having an office in one and I have really enjoyed the experience overall. The community I have developed here makes it all the better. Highly recommend working out of this location. It's chock full of amenities and offers tons of different opportunities to engage with your neighbors.

CoLAB is a fantastic space for coworking. There are many opportunities to chat with other coworkers through either the events that are organized by the space or just waiting for your turn at the coffee machine.
The front desk is always ready to help with any issue that may arise (particularly coffee machine malfunctions!!) but more importantly they make you feel welcome and comfortable in the space from the moment you walk in, unlike the anonymous and sterile feeling in coworking spaces of bigger cities. A big thanks to the coLAB team for all the effort and personal touches to make the space a great place to work and connect.

I'm a freelancer and pretty self-displined so I worked from home for years before I thought to try a coworking space. I did a trial day at coLAB in July of 2022 and I've been hooked ever since!

Not only does it feel more professional to take a zoom call from a beautiful office space, but I also appreciate all the activities, educational opportunities, and resources coLAB provides. Headshot photoshoots, ping pong tournaments, member breakfast, coffee walks...there's always something new and interesting on the calendar!

On top of all that, I love mingling with other professionals over lunch or coffee. I feel so much more connected to this community and to the downtown (even tho I only live about 10 minutes away).

I would recommend coLAB to anyone seeking all the perks of a professional office space, but in a more flexibility and community-driven environment.

I am fortunate to use the CoLab as a home base for my advocacy group. Although we're a small team that has the option to work remotely, the CoLab offers us a place to build the energy we then hope to bring out into the community. With access to both small and large office spaces, we can customize the space to fit our needs: when it's time to strategize, we've got access to private closed offices; and when it's time to welcome the community, we can welcome them in the CoLab's large conference room. Without those, we'd have to work that much harder to maintain our presence in the community and among each other. The CoLab offers an irreplaceable, amenity-based locale that allows us to call Santa Rosa our place of work -- and allows our members to associate us with the community.

Love the variety of options available. Space was perfect for our unique meeting needs. Rates are reasonable and Jessie and Riley were a pleasure to work with - super helpful and always had a smile on their face!

The real question is here what is there not to love about coLAB! I've worked at a handful of coworking spaces and coLAB is by far my favorite. The people are the best part, but the space is wonderful. It's always neat, clean and well organized. Jessie and Destiny do a terrific job incentivizing members to participate by hosting lots of fun events and opportunities to connect with one another. The meeting rooms are well-suited for most any group, with tech that works for all sorts of presentations. I love their private phone booths when I need to make a client call away from the open space. I've made some good friends at coLAB, too so it always feels welcoming. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great meeting or working spot. Ooh! And their snack offering is legit :)

CoLab is one of the best co-working spaces in the country! I've spent many hours at co-working spaces all over the country and it really is one of the best. Lots of space, friendly co-workers and staff, and plenty of extra amenities like snacks, coffee, quiet phone booths, and a lot more. We are so lucky to have this resource in Santa Rosa and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would (and Jessie, who runs the space is just amazing).

Two years ago I was working from my garage trying to get my start up off the ground. It was not the most efficient environment and I had to find a better work environment on a budget. For a few hundred a month I was able to find a quiet desk with CoLab which turned out to be one my best decisions in terms of work space.They have a ton of meeting space that really helped present a professional look when my company need that the most. As my company grew and we hired more staff, we needed more space. The CoLab team worked with us to secure an office and gave us an awesome deal to help with the transition. Several months later we ran out of space again, Pauline and her rock star team Jessie and Destiny came through and helped us secure a warehouse. Again they worked with us and to meet our budget and we now have 2600 sq ft warehouse that has helped our business take off. More than just a desk rental, the CoLab team offers much more value. They care about you and whatever your business needs are. They have been an instrumental partner in our success and we are so grateful for all the help they have provided us. Thanks CoLab team, keep up the good work. I would highly recommend this work space. By the way these ladies are amazing at decorating and optimizing space. The feel of the space is second to none in terms of shared workspace I have used in the past.

I want to preface this with my general disdain for any job I have had that has required me to go into an office. I am NOT a fan of office culture. Lucky for me, I have spent the majority of my career working from home. Then I moved into a place that didn't have space for a home office.
*Enter coLab*
coLAB is conveniently located in downtown Santa Rosa making it a great creatural location for work. The office has everything you need to work efficiently.

Desks: stand up and sit down options
Good Coffee: They special ordered creamer for me <3
Free onsite parking - who wants to look for parking when coming into the office?
Private spaces: Need to make a call; they have several comfortable phone booth like spaces that provide the opportunity for a private conversation
Friendly people: Interesting to talk to when you need a break and also provide some great networking opportunities
DOGS! That's right! There is an office dog, and you can bring your dog to work if you so choose

I feel safe working here during Covid and am thankful to have a space that provides some normalcy during these times. I find I am far more productive here than I have been in almost every other office environment I have encountered. I am sure it has something to do with the lack of co-workers. Why share an office with co-workers when you can have the staff and other members at coLAB? 10/10 recommend coLAB to non-office types and all others looking for a great space to work.

I have been a member at CoLab for a few months now and it has been a great work environment. Perfect for entrepreneurs and remote workers like me, who can feel isolated when working from home. At CoLab there is a great community. The staff does a wonderful job of putting on social events for the members and making everyone feel connected. Every time I come to CoLab, I get a great boost of productivity.

I've been a member of the coLAB since shortly after they opened. They've built a very modern facility which reminds me of offices I used to work out of in San Francisco. Furthermore it really feels like they treat this as a community instead of just a place to work, with regular events an happy hours (Pre-Covid, some virtual events now). Plus the free conference room hours for higher tier members makes it easy to have the occasional meeting in a professional and well equipped space. Finally, my single favorite addition is the Phone Booths. Free, well sound proofed, tiny rooms that make it possible to take calls without background noise or turning the office into a cacophony of sound. Finally I need to shout-out to Jessie and Destiny for being fantastic and responsive hosts for this community.

I love working and hanging out at coLAB. I was very happy to find such neat co-working space in Santa Rosa. You can get the same professional yet hip atmosphere like many other big name co-working space. Did I mention the bottomless coffee, standing desks, networking events, and amazing staff? :)
