A cup of coffee, a stack of files and a desk makes one comfortable to work.
The provision of cafés has allowed individuals; small teams and the self employed a space to build their makeshift workspaces.
A new penetration in the field of plug and play spaces has brought about a radical change in the space where startups and individuals like to work from.
Co-working spaces have come with a totally overarching facility and setup that allows firms to let go of the maintenance and relinquish the need of facility management.

A shift from ergonomic chairs to Google beanbags, a move from white-collars to Zuckerburg tees is the trend they craft.
Book for 60 minutes, a 10-hour day, a six-day week or the full month, flexibility is what they scream and the fluid environment is what gets the users engaged.

Mind and the Approach:
While coffee is the focal point while visiting cafes, work is the supplement. At co-working spaces, work is the focal center, where coffee or any other beverage is the complement. The bustle, the laughter and the jokes in cafes preclude an environment conducive to work but that is where the mindset of work at a co-working allows users to be engaged without much distraction.
