Coworking spaces have been appearing all over Metro Manila, helping both professionals and students get things done in a more flexible and multitasking-friendly work environment.
Pop Talk featured three coworking spaces around Metro Manila where you can work and eat at the same time.
Cofficia Café + Cowork, as the name suggests, is a wordplay on coffee, office, and kusina. This coworking space offers a hot desk rental with an hourly rate of PhP 80 or a whole day rate of PhP 350. Student rate is at PhP 60 per hour or PhP 250 for an entire day.
Both are inclusive of free-flowing coffee or tea, access to internet services, power outlets, and reading source materials.
You can find this shared workspace at 2/F Unit 14 Thaddeus Arcade, Pitpitan St. corner Gunting St., San Roque, Marikina.
CO.CA Collab stands for cowork and café collaboration. Aside from its coworking area and function rooms, this place also serves coffee, pasta, sandwiches, rice meals, and desserts.
This three-story building also offers a private suite that costs PhP 13,500 per month, meeting rooms that start at PhP 600 per hour, and a function hall for PhP 700 per hour. Lockers are also available for all customers.

The Openhand Learning and Coworking Hub, an extension project of the Open Hand School by top chef Waya Araos-Wijangco, offers hot seats, cubicles, meeting rooms, and an in-house café courtesy of the Gourmet Gypsy Art Café that also serves healthy vegan dishes.
