You can also just grab a coffee here - this coworking space is maybe the nicest coworking space I've ever seen. It has outdoor terraces with hammocks and an herb garden that they use to make their food. There's a separate area for the kitchen and dining. If you go, just enter the building and go to the 6th floor.
