Welcome

This group at Crema Cafe was founded by Amy Bryant and Zack Steven in November 2009 as the first sustained coworking initiative in the Twin Cities. It's now operated as a part of the 3rd place, one of two dedicated coworking spaces to sprout in January 2010 from the original members of this group. The other full-time coworking space is CoCoMSP, founded by Don Ball and Kyle Coolbroth.

Crema is unique among Twin Cities coworking options as the only Minneapolis location (and the only one with a Piazza!). We offer affordable half-day coworking one day a week, in an all-inclusive format that includes premium coffee, water, tea and an espresso drink OR single scoop of Sonny's award-winning ice cream or sorbet . Please join us!

Register for coworking at Crema using the Pay Now button at left.

What's coworking worth to you?

Last week I visited Cojunctured (blog post coming!), a coworking space in Austin, Texas. I noticed that they charge $250/month for membership, which is includes 24-hour access and coffee/tea/espresso.

At the curent rate of $40 per month (for one day per week), the membership cost at Crema comes out to between $173 and $216 a month. (feel free to double check my math, but I think that's right).

So, given your income and other expenses, would a full-time coworking membership make sense for you?… Continue

What is a Ning Friend?

Becoming friends with someone in the Crema group (or any Ning group, I suppose) allows you to send your friend a private message. Both of you must agree to the friending. You can also send messages to all of your friends at one time.

Outside of sending private messages, is there any other feature that comes with friending?
