As a Chicago guy, to exit the Purple Line and walk 5 seconds to this office is awesome. Food and drink options rock.

My workplace, North Shore Senior Center, held our Marketing and Development retreat here earlier this week and it was wonderful! The bright and beautiful location had everything from breakfast and coffee to friendly co-working spaces and meeting rooms. A great resource for teams looking for a short retreat or for long term use of space! We loved it!

I couldn't be happier at Industrious Evanston! Every day, Donna is leading the charge for the community, with great energy and an encouraging smile. Not to mention...always putting out amazing food and drinks! Yesterday, a surprise seasonal "pumpkin-fest" of some kind, with punch, pumpkin pie, sandwich cookies, and all kinds of other goodies. Today, another surprise, a "welcome lunch" for a new addition to the Industrious team. The space is truly gorgeous, with tons of phone booths, private rooms, couches, all of it. I can honestly say (after *cough* 20+ years in the workforce) that for the first time, I am genuinely excited to come to the office. Love, love, love Industrious Evanston. What they've got going on here is a masterclass in superior customer service.

Most work places claim to have excellent customer service, but none have ever truly lived up to that expectation like Industrious. Donna, the community manager, delivers on the brand’s promise to make members feel safe, happy, and productive. I am so impressed with the level of personalized attention she gives each member to make them feel valued. Her positive energy radiates throughout the community, and I highly recommend this workspace for anyone interested in working in a welcoming and comfortable environment.

I was unsure if this would be worth the cost for our needs. This place exceeded every expectation I had for an office. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is looking to take their work to the next level. I love that my team can work so well without me taking on the management of office needs as well.

Amazing space with beautiful decor! Very friendly people who always greet you with a smile when you walk in. Spent a weekend working there on a project and the company and other clients made me and my group feel welcomed the whole time. They also have a complimentary breakfast bar that has a variety of delicious food options! Highly recommend.

Industrious is the perfect office space. Everyone is super friendly, especially the office managers. The communal spaces are comfortable and well-equipped, and all of the private offices are quiet with plenty of natural light.

Industrious is amazing! The space itself is super comfortable and aesthetically pleasing which makes for a lovely space to work in. Also the amenities and snacks that they offer in their communal kitchen really help during a long work day. If you're looking for a great space to work out of or just need a room for a meeting, Industrious is the place to go!

Industrious is amazing. I love coming here to work. Elisabeth and Scott are wonderful: supportive, responsive, and all about making sure your work day is productive and fun. I love that everything is included and all I need to do is get myself here. Once I’m here I can get to work and 100% focus on serving my clients.

Loved the opportunity to use a space in Industrious Evanston! Elisabeth and Scott were so kind when letting other students and me use the space for a day, and the entire atmosphere of the space is wonderful. It's a very accessible place to get to as students in Evanston, and it's right off of the Davis stop. They had some pastries and a great kitchen setup, as well as just beautiful decor and a great vibe. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

We had a group meeting with our out of town team members and thoroughly enjoyed the space. The facility is a great blend of modern, bright, and cozy at the same time, with workspaces in several different sizes and configurations. Members have lots of ways of engaging with each other if they want that, plus nooks for impromptu meetings or conversations. Great surprises to me included the delicious and unique breakfasts each morning and plenty of beverages and afternoon snacks. Facilities were very clean, and the wi-if was strong! Elisabeth and Scott were very helpful and accommodating of our requests, and I can imagine what great assets they are to people who work here on a regular basis.

My company is a nationwide CPG brand that has established its headquarters in good ol' Evanston, IL - right here at this Industrious. I feel lucky to have Elisabeth & Scott on my team - they're here to solve issues quickly and make our workday more productive by handling all the essential things a (large or small) business needs to succeed. As a hip and with-it millennial, I hear all about coworking spaces from my friends who work in the city. "We have a barista and kegs with light beer on Fridays!" they say, to which I respond, "do you have a Scott to bring you cookies?" or "what about an Elisabeth, my go-to, who makes sure that there are endless, allergy-free options to eat & drink in the community fridge at all times?" (we're talkin' soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, the expensive dairy-free yogurt I only treat myself to when there's a coupon). In all seriousness, the crew here at Industrious Evanston are reliable, relatable, realistic, timely, organized, personable, motivated and innovative. They'll jump into action to solve any problem headed their way and make you feel right at home while doing it. The space itself is COOL. It's slick and professional. A lot of coworking spaces have a too modern, very cold feel. Industrious makes sure their community spaces here are cozy, comfy, and functional. There are tons of phone booths for private conversations, focus rooms for brainstorms, and big-to-small conference rooms that provide technology to make you feel confident and comfortable in any presentation or conversation you're faced with. Gone are the days of a too cold, styrofoam ceiling spaces with projectors that stopped working in 2008. Included is even a tucked away wellness room, where I will retreat for a quick nap under a wool blanket and dim-lighting (I think this room is probably for breastfeeding mothers). Let's talk about the kitchen. People, there are four dishwashers, two sinks, two industri(ous)al sized refrigerators, two mini-fridges stocked with La Croix and the like, a cold brew and tea keg, and a toaster that takes you to the year 3000 and back all while crisping up a premium bagel. The kitchen has everything you need at all times - bowls, plates, to-go cups & silverware that are made from recyclable materials. There is something provided for breakfast every. single. day. which has brought my personal grocery budget down 40%. We have bagels, croissants, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, granola, oatmeal, etc. weekly. There's always a snack out in the afternoon too, whether it's carefully sourced organic crackers or a mac and cheese bar, you're always fed. I could literally write 4 more paragraphs on each specific thing Industrious has to offer but I've got to get back to my real job. Industrious, as a brand and as a branch here in Evanston, do NOT skimp out on quality in the slightest. Everything here is top-notch and well worth the budget we pay for rent. It's right off of the CTA and Metra and parking is right across the street - making it easy for city & suburb folks to come together. I may be biased, but Scott & Elisabeth are truly the best Industrious employees EVER. I'm so grateful for their ability to make everyone know that their concerns (if there are any) are heard, suggestions are taken into consideration, and they're here for us if things go awry.
