# CoworkingCafe

> CoworkingCafe (https://www.coworkingcafe.com) is a coworking and flexible workspace listing platform powered by Yardi Systems. As of April 2026, the production index includes **~28,500 active coworking properties** published on CoworkingCafe (ILS), **100,000+ individual workspace inventory rows** (desks, offices, rooms, etc.), and coverage across **four countries** — the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland. Users can search, compare, and book or inquire about desks, private offices, and meeting rooms — **most listings use a contact or tour request flow; a minority of properties expose instant online booking** (“Book Now”).

## About

CoworkingCafe is part of the Yardi commercial listings network (alongside CommercialCafe, CommercialSearch, and PropertyShark). It is the most comprehensive coworking space directory in the world, maintained by a dedicated research team and operator self-service tools via Coworking Manager. Listings are sourced from direct operator input, Yardi Kube integrations, and a proprietary research pipeline.

- **Parent company**: Yardi Systems, Inc. (https://www.yardi.com)
- **Headquarters**: 430 S Fairview Avenue, Santa Barbara, CA 93117, USA
- **Data freshness**: Listings are continuously updated via operator self-service (Coworking Manager), automated Kube feeds, and manual research curation
- **Booking model**: Mixed — some spaces support instant online booking ("Book Now"), others use a lead-generation contact form ("Contact Property")

## Workspace Categories

CoworkingCafe organizes flexible workspace into seven user-facing categories. **Three categories are indexed across all countries: Desks, Meeting Rooms, and Private Offices.** Day Offices, Memberships, Virtual Office, and Event Space are available as user-facing filters and detail page tabs but are not indexed as standalone search/directory pages.

## Booking & Contact Flow

CoworkingCafe uses two engagement models depending on operator setup. **Operational mix (approximate, production data, April 2026):** on the order of **one thousand** properties have online booking enabled; the **majority** of listings rely on **Contact Property** / tour flows.

1. **Book Now** (instant booking): Available for properties with online booking enabled via Coworking Manager or Yardi Kube. Users select a date, time, workspace, and complete the booking online. Redirects to a branded booking interface at apps.commercialcafe.com.

2. **Contact Property** (lead generation): For properties without online booking. Users fill a contact form specifying workspace type, team size, and message. The lead is forwarded to the operator. Users can also request a tour.
