I needed a place to work during construction at my home. Downtown Works is a wonderful, inviting space! It's very airy and light-filled, and there's coffee and plenty of snacks. The staff are super friendly and very, very attentive to needs. When I needed to make phone or Zoom calls, they have phone booths that have plenty of room. I really enjoyed the vibe and will be back because I was hyper-productive there!

This is one of the nicest co-working spaces I've worked out of. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Candace, Alyssa and Heaven are helpful and so sweet, and they put a high value on customer service. I love that the Downtown Works teams organizes many events and happy hours, and there are SO many opportunities for networking. This is a space that feels as comfortable as stepping into my own home office, but offers the structure of the office and opportunity for social interaction daily. If you are in the market for an upscale co-working space that offers community, comfortability and connection, Downtown Works is your answer.

We love the place and everyone is super helpful and friendly. Had no issues during the past year we've been here and we just renewed our contract for another year. Thanks Candace, and the staff!

Just okay. I used this space for a couple of months before stopping my open desk membership. Overall, it was decent. It's a quiet place to work with access to good wifi and coffee. From my perspective however, the staff seemed kind of cold. For example, a colleague and his client (a major company) came in to see about using the space for a video shoot. He immediately texted me to let me know how dismissed he felt by the staff member. They both agreed they were rude and acted like they didn't have time for them. They walked across the street and booked a full day shoot at another cowrking location.A week later, they actually filmed at the DW Carlsbad location however and I joined them for this shoot. The vibe from the staff at DW Carlsbad was much better, they were super accommodating and amazing to work with. If I didn't live so far away, I would transfer to that location.I chose DW because I wanted to support a local company verses a major chain like WeWork. I get why a lot of folks like this location, I just didn't share the same positive experience, which was unfortunate.

My Wal-mart package was opened by Candace and her staff just hours after it was delivered and it was handed to me opened in front of everyone in the fourth floor with your new assistant describing in detail the contents of the box out loud: chips and jerkyI'm still waiting for an explanation and a solution to this horrendous act of hate and disrespect

CANDACE IS AN ANGEL! We are so thankful to DW for the help. I run a company and needed a quick meeting room to film a clip for NBC7. Candace and Kara were such a help. They answered all my questions and were able to assist in me booking a space. The space was so nice and Candace and Kara went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help us. We are so thankful to Downtown Works!

Very secure location. It is very tastefully decorated with lots of exposed wood and high ceilings. They have snacks and coffee/tea on hand. Lots of different sized private offices for shared office spaces. Only negative thing is there is a lot of construction next door but that's not a fault of theirs.

Downtown Works San Diego/Little Italy was the perfect space for our afternoon offsite meeting & working session. My team was traveling to San Diego for a quarterly business review with an account, and we needed a meeting space for one afternoon. In addition to being conveniently located and well-priced, Downtown Works had an extremely seamless online booking process. I couldn't believe it at first when they said there were no extra hidden fees (e.g., for A/V, specialty coffee, a conference call phone, etc.) - but it was true! We didn't even have to be DW members to book for the afternoon as a guest group! The pricing was 100% transparent, the DW team 100% responsive, and the space 100% accommodating. We booked the Baja Room, which was great for our group of 11. Everything about our experience with DW was 5-star! This beats a dreary, hidden-fee-ridden hotel conference room booking any day of the week!

When searching for co-working space in the San Diego area I had the opportunity to visit 6 different providers. Hands-down DW stood out from the bunch with its creative, spacious & bright interiors. Upon joining, things just got better and better. Cool and friendly staff, immaculately clean, flexible layout with plenty of private rooms to jump into for a quick call/meeting, or finding a new corner to sit and change up the vibe. Additional outside balconies for that break in the day fresh air or just to kick back and recharge over excellent coffee/cappuccino (they got some legit machine for that and rotate the roasters.) Snack choices, teas and other free perks like craft brews round up the great amenities. Location is excellent with food trucks doing a weekly stop in front of building and its walking distance to a ton of restaurants in Little Italy or in the surrounding area. Definitely recommend this place for anyone who's looking for that place to work outside home, and its way better than any office I'v ever worked in.

Highly recommend for San Diego visitorsNeeded a private office for a day and found Downtown Works was a great fit. I didn't use any of the amenities, but I did think the space was a great value. $150/ day = no noisey meetings and I wasn't a distraction for everyone else (I'm loud).

Highly recommend. Easy to book, great meeting room options. Nice light, clean and modern site. Great location- walkable to Little Italy restaurants. Will book again when clients come to town and need an offsite workspace. Personable staff. Thanks!

This is a super cool coworking space with a very trendy vibe. Coffee machine will make you coffee however you like it, and you can rent out meeting rooms by the hour.I was here for some company meetings, and the manager person seemed very stressed out and frustrated that I and my colleagues were around.So I loved the space, and maybe it was just a bad day for space manager, but it left a weird taste in my mouth.

I don't usually write reviews - but I spent a month working remotely from this space in SD and it was incredible. Candance + other staff were nice and helpful. There were great snacks, and often leftover treats. Space was always clean. Would 10/10 recommend this spot.

We had a group event here for one week; there were about 30 people within our group. The coworking space is very spacious and had plenty of areas for our team to meet. There are several small balconies and a large terrace, which make for great options to enjoy the beautiful weather. The staff were very helpful and accomodating for all of our needs!

My company currently uses Downtown Works - San Diego for the 4 of us and it's been an amazing experience all thanks to Candace!2 of us have a private office, and the other 2 use exclusive desks in the shared area. It's nice to have a spot to work together and lots of amenities! Exclusive desks are great to keep your personal things and all have really fast ethernet ports without having a whole office to yourself.The space is very clean, hip, and inviting. Candace is very accommodating and very happy to help with any concerns you might have.Super excited to continue working here while our company grows!
