If your idea of Café One is “the nice place with good coffee and strong Wi-Fi,” you’re only seeing a small part of the story. Café One is a lot more than a café. It’s a co-working hub, a community space, a creator studio, a networking zone, and for many people, a productivity lifesaver.

Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, remote worker, creative, podcaster, or someone who just needs to get things done, Café One is full of hidden gems you probably haven’t explored yet.

Here are 10 things you didn’t know you could do at Café One, and why you should absolutely try them.
