Hypothetically, a basic membership would be $50.00 for 1 month, 6
hours and 6 coffees (or equivalent drinks).
drop in rate 10.00
an hour with coffee, 35.00 a day
major usage
undecided.
Meeting room 30.00 per
hour.
There will be food discounts and free time occasionally.
We plan music events and workshops and there will be favored inclusion
for these.
We will co-opt the space for Saturday breakfast.
You can see the space as is on oakstcoffee.com
It has a good vibe, a wonderful community of creative professionals,
and frankly
is a pleasant and stimulating place to work, according to customers.
The
meeting room is a place you'd be pleased to make a client presentation
or
gather a book group or prepare for a case or host a working lunch.
The lab table, 4X6 ft, is a place where great things happen on a
regular basis.
There is plenty of room for white boards.
