Love this place. The music is too loud. Measured with a sound meter and it averages around 53.7dB which isn't too bad, but it goes over 60dB about every 5 seconds depending on the song. Even with noise cancelling headphones you can often still hear the music. Contacted their support, got an email back from someone not in Austin with some polite BS basically saying no action would be taken. You use a thermostat to choose/measure the temperature, why not have an objective standard for the sound? They do have a quiet room, but like most of the furniture it's sized for women and elementary school children. There are lots of decent stools, but not in the quiet room. Bringing the average down to 45 dB with the peaks around 55dB, or more varied seating/standing desks in the quiet room would solve the problem. Also, the chairs need to have feet/sliders added so that every time someone stands up it doesn't make that deafening, terrible sound. It kills the vibe so bad.

Absolutely love this place. Not sure how they keep the prices so low, it’s less than a daily coffee, but then the coffee’s included. 🤷🏻♀️Better than almost all co-working spaces I’ve tried, which means quite a few. I usually come at off-hours, so I haven’t run into any issues at all with space (parking, desks, restrooms, etc.), I’ll keep my fingers crossed! Wouldn’t give up the membership unless I moved out of the area or could no longer squeeze in visits. Great mix of people. Vibe that is actually work appropriate. Aesthetically winning. 🏆

UPDATE: Some issues from my initial review have been partially addressed, while others remain. Bathroom faucet was adjusted but still shoots too far from the center. The front door now has a soft-close hinge, which helps, but the bathroom door does not, still loud and disruptive. Coffee very inconsistent, and I often skip it altogether. The hot water machines are unnecessarily complicated ("smart" machines, ugh). Music often distracting, which seems to be a consistent complaint across locations. Weekend visits are nice and quiet, but weekdays are croooowded. People sometimes start calls in the main room before slowly moving to phone booths. The demographic is still dominantly white, which makes me feel out of place. Mostly, I can get busy work done here, but never substantial/creative work. Considering the long list of cons, I decided to cancel my membership and downgrade from 3 to 2 stars. -- Leaving an initial review after tour day, the evening social, and my first full visit today. Getting in was smooth using the key app, which arrived early this morning. By 9:05 am, the space felt about half full, which made me a little anxious about noise, but I was glad to grab a seat in the quiet room. The soft-close hinge on the door is a thoughtful detail, though it was opened frequently as people came in to check for open seats. Understandable, but slightly disruptive. I noticed some people leaving bags on chairs: worth noting, as those spots could easily be used by others looking for a seat. A few design oversights stood out right away: the bathroom faucet releases too much water too close to the edge of the sink, rather than to the center. The door to that same bathroom slams shut audibly, which carries into the quiet room. Chairs scrape across the concrete with a harsh sound, something that could easily be resolved with felt pads. These aren’t major flaws, but they signal a gap between aesthetic polish and functional refinement. The quiet room was uncomfortably cold. While some might not mind, it brought to mind that well-documented issue with indoor temperatures being set to male metabolic norms (Nature Climate Change, 2015). I’ll layer up next time, but ideally, temperature settings in shared spaces are calibrated with a broader range of people in mind. The coffee/tea area includes a collage of black-and-white and sepia-toned cutouts. It's an interesting visual idea and vintage is the current cultural vibe, but the faces skew heavily white. In a city as diverse as this, and in a space that I assume is aiming for inclusivity, that imbalance feels both tangible and telling. Visual design isn’t neutral and reflects choices about who the space is made to feel comfortable for. On tour day, the staff member by the door was friendly but gave vague answers to direct questions about parking, space usage expectations, and cleaning schedule. Responses like “whatever’s out there” or “every city is different” didn’t exactly build confidence or trust. For a company with over two dozen locations, I expected more operational awareness and clarity. I mean, I assume somebody behind the scenes did market research and that the company collects some data... The coffee was noticeably worse than what came from the machine during the tour. Possibly stale beans, fluctuating room temperatures, or simply a lack of turnover since last week? Hopefully just a first-day inconsistency. The stroopwafels are a nice idea, but they exclude a large number of people with dietary restrictions. A universally accessible snack would go further in creating a space that feels thoughtfully communal. Only day one, and I’m genuinely unsure whether I’ll keep the membership or cancel. Sharing this not to nitpick, but because I care about detail-oriented, aesthetically-minded design. When those little things are overlooked, I know they can add up to create certain kinds of impressions/experiences/memories. * Using a generic name to protect my online privacy. Thus, I don’t respond to business messages, but will likely update this in about a month.

Beautiful place but lacked what I needed for a co-work space.

Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
-
Adaptability is at the core of coworking, so membership options are always designed to cater to your changing work requirements and team dynamics. Most spaces offer month-to-month memberships, enabling you to adjust your workspace to your changing needs. Whether your business is growing or downsizing – or you just want to upgrade to a more private setting – you always have the flexibility to make the changes you need.

-
For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.
On the other hand, private offices are best suited for focused work and private interactions. They're ideal for solo workers as well as teams seeking a dedicated space, shielded from distractions.
Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.

Whether you're a day pass holder or a monthly member, you can access most amenities. Meeting rooms do require prior scheduling, and private offices are reserved for those with subscriptions. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to all. Complimentary services are also available regardless of membership tier, while ancillary services can be purchased separately or negotiated with Switchyards.
