Whether you’re chasing big career goals for 2025, building your own empire, or just need a break from working at home and/or the office, a good workspace can make all the difference. Portland is full of welcoming, well-equipped coworking spots—from dedicated offices to casual cafés—where you can settle in, stay productive, and maybe even meet a few like-minded people along the way.
This is just a small sampling of the many great workspace options around town, but if you’re looking for a place to get started, these spots offer a mix of flexibility, community, and amenities to help you find your focus and get to work.
Let’s get to work!
For many of us, the perfect workspace isn’t just about a desk and a chair—it’s about finding a place where we feel seen, supported, and able to do our best work. coworkHERS is that place. Voted Portland’s Best Co-working Space in 2023, coworkHERS isn’t your typical shared office. It’s a community designed for women, marginalized groups, and anyone who’s ever felt out of place or unwelcome in a traditional work setting. At coworkHERS, you’ll find more than a desk—you’ll find a professional home, where safety, comfort, and connection come first.
Whether you need a floating desk for flexibility, a dedicated desk to settle in, a quiet glass cube, or a private office to grow your business, coworkHERS has a workspace and membership that fits. For those who need something more temporary, they offer day passes, private office rentals, and meeting room bookings, so you can get work done without the long-term commitment. All members, regardless of their membership type or rental choice, enjoy a wide range of amenities, including 24/7 access, lounges, pumping rooms, meeting rooms, gym access, showers, kitchen with coffee and tea, treadmill desks, and partner discounts.
Beyond just workspaces, coworkHERS fosters a strong sense of community with regular member lunches, happy hours, and networking nights, giving you plenty of opportunities to connect and collaborate with like-minded professionals.
