Enjoy Coworking on the Coast
Coworking is great for freelancers, startup entrepreneurs and other independent workers looking for a professional environment. Luckily for locals, Carlsbad has many unique coworking options, each catering to a different type of entrepreneur or independent worker. But what these spaces have in common is the desire to activate Carlsbad’s innovators, giving them a place to launch and flourish.
Coastal

Coworking by the beach
Build your business blocks from the beach at these Carlsbad coworking hotspots. As Common Grounds has become a nationally recognized brand, their original Carlsbad location provides well curated workspaces for creatives, startups and entrepreneurs. Members at Common Grounds enjoy several extras that come along with a great office space – things like craft beer on tap and bikes and surfboards available for use. Just steps from the Poinsettia Train Station, you’ll have a quick trip to that big investor meeting down in San Diego.
Speaking of coworking next to transit, the super-cool laid back beachside Kiln. next to Carlsbad Village train station will give you all the good vibes when you walk through their doors. Set in a laid-back neighborhood with some foodie hotspots for neighbors, even the amazing spaces there may not be enough to keep you from impromptu exploration between client meetings.
Specialty

Coworkers in your corner
Hera Hub, a female-focused coworking space that touts a spa-like environment to inspire creativity and innovation amongst its members. With three locations in San Diego County alone, Hera Hub also has locations Washington D.C., Phoenix, Irvine, and Stockholm, Sweden so you can connect on an international level.

Surrounded by hundreds of brand-name tech, biotech, consumer product and service-based companies and a thriving startup scene, Carlsbad is growing its reputation as a place where business and careers flourish Our members create a community where they help each other, make introductions, and connect the dots.

It just might be the creative vibe here as it was designed to model a tech campus – with contemporary interior design, state-of-art technology, and art and furnishings that encourage creativity, dynamic problem solving, teamwork and productivity by providing the ultimate in style and comfort.
Executive

Find your suite spot
Many of Carlsbad’s coworking spaces offer more classic executive style suites. But don’t think that means the amenities aren’t just as cool. Avanti provides scalable, modern workspaces as well as virtual offices with a fresh SoCal vibe. WorkSpace offers private offices and innovative spaces for entrepreneurs, with some killer happy hours, a stocked kitchen and great beer on tap. And at Downtown Works, you’re right next to all of the heavy hitting businesses that could be potential partners.
