Great co-working space. The environment, the people, and everything about it is great! I highly recommend it. Dan, the owner, is very welcoming and accommodating!

This is a great space and a really great place to work! Management is super easy to work with and very accommodating. I highly recommend Office 805 if you are looking for a co-working space.

Nice offices and nice shared spaces. Has been been the perfect space for my one-person shop for the last 18 months! I especially love the included stand up desks.

What a wonderful place to have an office. I love my space. The neighbors are a friendly, diverse, and interesting bunch. Owner is personable and very responsive - really willing to help. I like that there are community events where we can be social with our office mates. 5 min walk to the center of downtown Evanston, and around the corner from the Purple line.

Office805 is a wonderful workplace and environment. It's the perfect amount of privacy for getting actual work done and community for those times when you don't want to be heads down. I walk to the lake and plenty of breakfast/lunch places. Highly recommended!
