In the awakening of creative industry, Bandung as the capital city of West Java has placed its spot as one of cities with growing creativity. The profession has shifted from traditional office hours to flexible hours. The workplace has transformed from cubicles into coworking space.
Coffeeshops become a place where many people in creative industry spend considerable amount of time to work. People see this as a dynamic activity of a coffeeshop that functions not only as a place to hang out with friends and family, or even to taste the coffee but also to meet clients, finish assignments, seminars, community gathering and even simply to work. In Bandung the number of coffeeshops is rapidly growing. When I first visited Sydney and Melbourne in 2016, I was amazed that every corner in the city center has its own coffeeshops. Now I can feel the same ambiance in Bandung where coffeeshops are widely spread.
Therefore facilities of a coffeeshop determine its suitability as a coworking space. Not only the great taste of a cup of coffee, but also hospitable barista and staffs, cleanliness toilets and praying rooms, and the connectedness provided are taken into account by regular customers of a coffeeshop.
By writing an honest review, we can help coffee lover find their working space and the coffeeshop owners to improve their business. In the end, the conducive coworking place can contribute to local economy as well as the creative industry.
