Lafayette's Work Spaces On The Go

Trendy Spaces

Trendy Spaces (102 Carmel Dr.) offers something for everyone, from a quiet place for individuals to plug in and work to large conference rooms. There's even an outdoor space that accommodates 550! The property also features a salon space for beauty professionals, a massage room, and combinations for those who need a central meeting area with breakout rooms. All visitors receive access to a gym and sauna—wellness is their goal—as well as complimentary tea and coffee. Choose between a five-day-a-month plan or unlimited access.

Downtown WORKspace

Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Lafayette (116 E Congress St.), with a large parking lot next door, this 1,500-square-foot space features 19 desks named after well-known downtown streets. All desks are equipped with power outlets, ergonomic chairs, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Several standing desks are also available. The space features both private offices and conference rooms, all of which have access to the kitchen. Workers can choose between day passes or membership.

Regus

Covering the entire seventh floor of the Pinhook Tower (2014 W Pinhook Rd 7th Floor), Regus features both private spaces and open coworking areas, a conference room, and two meeting rooms. The space is conveniently located near both downtown Lafayette and the Lafayette Regional Airport, making it a one-stop shop for businesses. Prices vary depending on the different membership options, which are also valid for Regus workspaces nationwide, including several locations in Louisiana.

Charge your workday at some of Lafayette's many coffee shops, where you'll find some of our indigenous culinary offerings as well as delicious craft coffees. We're fortunate to have many coffee shops in town—likely due to the French influence—and several offer comfortable spaces to relax and work.

Rêve Coffee Lab

All locations serve the company's high-quality coffee, roasted in-house from its downtown space on Jefferson Street, and all provide comfortable spaces for remote work.

Black Café

Black Café in downtown Lafayette serves up java in many incarnations, as well as a specialty menu of items such as sandwiches, sweet potato biscuits, beignets, and Scotch Eggs. 

Carpe Diem Café and Wine Bar

Carpe Diem Café & Wine Bar not only positions itself as a downtown gathering spot but serves up craft coffees, wine, a curated menu, and Italian artisan gelato and sorbetto made in-house.
