I have been a part of the kiva community for years, and can not imagine my life in Santa Barbara without it. The community, space, staff, and amenities are invaluable to me. I would encourage anyone who works from home or has the freedom to, to join kiva! (And attend the member mixers)

I love working on site whenever I get the chance! The Kiva team is so friendly and accommodating and I really enjoy all of the different work spaces. There are quiet spaces for me to take Zoom calls and the back patio is one of my favorite places to work when the weather is nice. It’s always very clean and the location is just perfect - right in the middle of downtown.

This place was AMAZING. Our family travels full-time and I love popping into different coworking spots. This location was spectacular! The staff was extremely friendly. The space was very trendy. The internet was extremely fast. Different restaurants hosted different foods to try. The staff went out of their way to provide a conference room to me for video calls one day at no extra charge too. Thank you Kiva for making work enjoyable for me when I was in town. I only wish we lived in the area so that I could enjoy your space on a regular basis!

KIVA IS A CREATIVE HEAVEN FOR THE INFLUENCERS, the WANNBE's and Even AGING BOOMERS with big ideas! Or really... anyone who has work to do and is tired of trying to get things done at over crowded coffee shops and restaurants. My husband works from home and has an amazing set up there. Unfortunately, it's home and that means there is always something pulling me away from my work and barging in with questions or comments or requests to feed the dog (ok that last one is something I keep doing because she's there staring at me..). When I come into the KIVA spaces - my mind is already on my work and settling in with others also there to "get it done" is inspiring and compelling. The place is always cool and clean and there's a lot of options about where to work. Of course... it's dynamic motion and there are more or less crowded days and times of the day, but there's always a little cafe table, a high stool space in the main, a spot outside in the yard or a space at the giant central tables with plenty of plugs and room to spread out. The WiFi is in fact "BLAZING FAST" and there's always someone around to help if you run into a technological glitch. The culture is one of work. So people are pretty focused with not a lot of "looking around" or "chit chat" going on... as a matter of fact, everyone knows the unwritten rules that unless someone is hanging in the kitchen... interrupting for random convo is considered rude - except for the staff that work there... they make you feel like you are the only reason they are there and they will literally stop what they are doing to help solve your problem. Michael and Dan always seem to be around and are full of knowledge and eager to share or just listen and often have connections or know someone to steer you to to help solve your needs. Plus... there's there's sometimes yummy treats in the kitchen (there used to be amazing soup every Tuesday and might still be I just haven't seen it out or haven't been around when it is)... and there's always coffee, iced tea, cold filtered water and an espresso machine that you can use or ask the staff to show you how....they all seem to know how to make that happen. There are more places to hang out and co-work in town now, but if you want to be around do-ers or if you are "stuck" and need some inspiration .... get a day pass and check it out! Or come for one of the talks, classes, community events or sign up to meet with a mentor who might help you find your next new thing. Check it out! Just sayin' KR

Kiva is a rare gem. The staff are good-hearted people and experts at what they do. Responsive to inquiries and always volunteering to do extra when it's called for, they hold themselves to a high standard of care. If you're in need of office space, look no further!

Michael, Dan and the rest of the crew were absolutely fantastic. They provided an incredible level of service that was truly exceptional. We hosted in event with over 100 people and they made everything happen with late notice. I cannot recommend these guys and the space enough!!

I love Impact Hub! Especially the positive vibe and top-notch facilities. I highly recommend Impact Hub as a co-working location. Since moving back to Santa Barbara, I've met some incredible like-minded entrepreneurs and enjoyed impromptu brainstorming meetings with lot's of collaborative support, and made great new friends. The events, especially the mixer barbecues and drinks events outside on the back patio, are second to none!

Impact Hub is the best place to work in Santa Barbara. Everyone I met here is great. The location is perfect. I highly recommend the State St location and the upstairs offices/desks. Great place to work. Staff is on-point.
