Los Angeles is a city that’s undoubtedly filled with freelancers and entrepreneurs. It’s a place where hopeful artists and creatives flock to, with coffee shops and cafes set up at nearly every corner. However, times are indeed changing, and many people no longer want to work at a crowded coffee shop every day. Sometimes, working in an office-like setting is more conducive to a productive environment as opposed to the daily happenings at a cafe or juice bar. 

Although co-working spaces aren’t a new thing in LA, many people still aren’t aware of their existence. Below is a list of some of the city’s top co-working spaces, ideal for freelancers and entrepreneurs looking to settle into a comfortable work environment.
