If you’re looking for the best coworking spaces in Minneapolis, this is the post for you. I’ve researched all of the coworking spaces in Minneapolis, looking for some of the most unique, interesting, and convenient places that offer coworking.
Minneapolis is an excellent city for coworking, offering a plethora of coworking options throughout the city. Most of the best coworking spaces are located in downtown Minneapolis, Uptown, and Northeast, meaning wherever you live, you can probably find a great coworking space for you.
Here’s a look at the 13 best coworking spaces in Minneapolis.
1. WeWork
WeWork is one of the largest operators in the coworking space, so it’s no surprise they have a large presence in Minneapolis. They currently have two locations in Minneapolis – Downtown and North Loop (the Uptown location recently closed). I had a WeWork membership for several years when I first went full-time on this blog and I loved it. My membership gave me access to every WeWork location in Minneapolis, so I could go to different locations as I felt like it.

Every location has free coffee and tea, along with their trademark fruit water (water infused with various fruits). The staff is always very helpful and you can always find a spot to sit and get work done.
WeWork offers both private office memberships and hot desk memberships, where you grab any empty seat you find. They also offer daily passes, so if you need a space for a day, you can work from WeWork. The all-access pass is my favorite because it gives you access to every WeWork location throughout the country.
WeWork Locations in Minneapolis:
- Downtown – 225 South 6th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402
- North Loop – 729 North Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55401
2. Industrious
Industrious is another large player in the coworking world, with locations throughout the United States. In Minneapolis, Industrious operates two locations, one in North Loop and one Downtown. I’ve used the Downtown location before and thought it was a great space to work.

What I like about Industrious is that in addition to coffee and tea, they also always seem to have a good supply of free snacks and have free breakfast in the morning.
You can choose between private offices or general monthly memberships that give you access to the workspace. With two locations in Minneapolis, you’ll be sure to find a good option for you.
Industrious Locations in Minneapolis:
- Downtown – 60 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402
- North Loop -323 Washington Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55401
3. Spaces
Spaces operates over 400 coworking locations throughout the world, with over 100 of them in the United States. In Minneapolis, Spaces operates one coworking location in North Loop. This is a cool-looking location. I pass by it pretty regularly and am always attracted to the office because of the nice signage they have outside. It’s also conveniently located in the heart of the North Loop neighborhood.

4. Fueled Collective
Fueled Collective is a local coworking operator that’s been in Minneapolis for a while – indeed, they’re the first coworking space that opened in the Twin Cities. The coworking company started out as CoCo back in 2009, when coworking was barely even a thing yet. They rebranded as Fueled Collective in 2018.
They operate two locations in Minneapolis – one in Downtown Minneapolis and another in Northeast Minneapolis. It also used to operate a third location in Uptown, but that location was damaged during rioting in 2020 and the company decided not to reopen the location.
The Downtown Minneapolis location, in particular, is gorgeous, located in the old Minneapolis Grain Exchange Building. The main working area is located on what was once the Grain Exchange trading floor, which gives it high ceilings and a ton of space. It’s a unique space that you won’t see in many coworking spaces.

Locations:
- Downtown – 400 S. 4th Street, Suite 401, Minneapolis, MN 55415
- Northeast – 1400 Van Buren Street, Suite #200, Minneapolis, MN 55413
5. Flock
Flock is a local boutique coworking space located in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis. It’s located just one block from Eat Street, which means you have plenty of food and drink options if you’re working here.
Flock bills itself as a space for community-driven entrepreneurs and creatives. Since it’s a local coworking company, you get a more community feel compared to larger coworking companies with multiple locations.

6. Expansive
Expansive is a coworking company with coworking offices throughout the United States. It was previously called Novel Coworking but rebranded to Expansive a few years ago.
I had a membership with Expansive back when it was called Novel. What made it attractive to me was its affordable price point – it was far cheaper than other coworking locations in Minneapolis.
Novel has one location in Downtown Minneapolis. It’s not in the fanciest building, but it’ll get the job done at a good price.

- Downtown -331 2nd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55401
7. Impact Hub
Impact Hub is a coworking space located near the University of Minnesota. What makes Impact Hub different is that it’s a non-profit organization, with most members doing work to solve social problems in the city.
One interesting thing about Impact Hub is that they have a work-trade program, where you can get a free membership in exchange for working a few hours for the coworking space. You have to apply for this program, but it could be an option if you need a coworking space and are willing to trade a few hours per week for it.

- University of Minnesota -825 Washington Ave Southeast, Suite 200, Minneapolis, MN 55414
8. CommonGrounds
CommonGrounds is a coworking company with multiple locations in the United States. They opened a coworking space in downtown Minneapolis a few years ago and I’ve always thought it looked like a great space. It’s very modern and conveniently located too.
Like other coworking memberships, they offer a general membership where you can have access to common areas, as well as private offices. They’re definitely worth checking out.

The Coven is a female-only coworking community founded to provide an inclusive working environment for women, non-binary, and transgender people. They have two locations – one in St. Paul and one in Minneapolis. It used to be in North Loop but recently moved to a new location in the Eat Street area.
It’s a coworking community geared toward a specific demographic, so if you’re looking for a space like this to work in, it’s worth checking them out.
Location:
- Eat Street -2429 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404
10. Scout Workshop
Scout Workshop is a local Minnesota coworking community located in the Lyn-Lake neighborhood of Minneapolis (not far from Uptown). The coworking space is located in an old stained glass factory building, which gives the building a unique look specific to the building. The space was created by two designers that cofounded the coworking community, so you know it looks good.

11. Lifetime Work
Lifetime Work is a coworking concept created by Lifetime Fitness. It’s an interesting concept, combining coworking with a health club membership. They have a couple of Lifetime Work locations in Minnesota (St Louis Park and Edina) and one located in Downtown Minneapolis.
Every coworking membership also comes with access to all Lifetime Fitness health clubs in the United States, which makes Lifetime Work a good value for someone looking for both coworking and a gym membership. The offices are gorgeous too.
Location:
- Downtown – 30 South 9th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402
12. ModernWell
ModernWell is a female-centric coworking space focusing on work and well-being. While they do bill themselves as a women-centered space, men are also welcome to join the ModernWell community too.
The ModernWell coworking space is located a bit farther out of the city compared to the other coworking spaces on this list. If you’re someone that prefers to drive, ModernWell is a good option because it’s located right off of I-394.

13. The Wilderness Fitness and Coworking
The Wilderness is another coworking space that combines a coworking membership and a gym membership. Depending on what you are looking for, you can opt for only a gym membership, or you can get an open desk, private desk, or private office, with a gym membership included in all coworking plans. In addition to a gym membership, all Wilderness members have access to conference rooms and private phone booths, as well as a bar, game room, theater, and coffee, tea, and snacks.
The Wilderness is located in the heart of Uptown, just a few blocks from the Greenway. It’s definitely a great deal given that you get a gym membership with it, so if you’re looking for a good coworking spot in Uptown, I’d definitely consider checking out the Wilderness.

More Recommended Ebike/Scooters
Check out these other ebikes/scooters I've had the chance to do a review for:
- GEN3 Outcross Bike – The GEN3 Outcross is a solid, affordable fat tire ebike that does a good job of doing what I need it to do. It works great for city riding, giving me a smooth ride in all conditions. It’s works really well as a winter ebike since the fat tires give it good traction over snow and ice. Check out my GEN3 Outcross Review.
- Himiway Escape Bike – The Himiway Escape is an interesting bike for anyone looking for a moped-style ebike. If you’re a gig economy worker, the Himiway Escape is particularly interesting and it’s possible to think of it as an investment, especially if you can opt to do deliveries with the Himiway versus using a car. It’s not cheap, but you can definitely make your money back when you compare the mileage you’ll put on your car versus using an ebike. Check out my Himiway Escape Bike Review.
- Espin Sport Bike – The Espin Sport is a good ebike for someone who is looking for an ebike that feels and rides more like a regular bike. There are many ebikes that are really only bikes in name. In reality, they’re basically electric mopeds. The Espin Sport, by contrast, is a bike you could probably ride without the battery and you’d feel like you’re just riding a regular bike. Check out my Espin Sport Review.
- Varla Eagle One Scooter – The Varla Eagle One is an excellent scooter that can make sense for a lot of people. It can work as a primary mode of transportation. You can use it to work on gig economy apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. And it can also be a recreational vehicle if you’d prefer to use it for that. Check out my Varla Eagle One Review.
- Fucare H3 Scooter – The Fucare H3 is a fun scooter and I’ve enjoyed testing it out. For a daily commuter or quick trips or errands, the Fucare H3 is probably the scooter I’ll use. It’s portable and easy to maneuver, so it’s just easier to take on the road when I need it. Check out my Fucare H3 Scooter Review.
