In today’s world, coffee and work is often inseparable, which is why cafés often serve as offices nowadays. Budapest’s new Coffice co-working space opened recently, purposefully reacting to this phenomenon by providing a place equipped with meeting rooms, separated work areas, power outlets, and of course, a café. Although they are only in their test run, the spot is already full every afternoon.

Community spaces become more and more important in the age of flexible working hours, startups, and Internet business, but Budapest is a little behind in meeting the growing demand; at this point, most people usually tend to station themselves in cafés, because of the lack of other options.

Coffice reacted to this – it is a fusion of a co-working office and a café, with all the equipment one might need for working or studying. There’s a specialty café downstairs with well-separated tables suitable for work; upstairs they have a much more relaxed “office area” with glass meeting rooms, soundproofed boxes for making phone calls, and two smaller presentation-suitable rooms that are compatible with projectors.

It’s hard to describe the style of this place, but according Gáspár Bonta, the interior designer, “the interior is a mix of industrialism and geometric, playful, pastel elements.”

One of the most interesting things is the lighting behind the bar, which is a smart-phone-controlled color-changing wall: during the day it is red, which supposedly motivates work.

Right now, Coffice is in beta mode, which means that the team is trying to assess demands, and later they will change things accordingly. From the clientele’s point of view, it means that for now, the usage of the meeting rooms is free of charge, and basically anyone can sit in to any of the free places, but in the future the rooms will have to be previously reserved, and of course there will be a fee for using them.

The people behind the idea said that they would like to expand if the idea works out, and they’ve already received requests for creating other “coffices”.
