General
The basics: what it is, where it works and how it is different.
Croissant is a monthly coworking membership that gives freelancers, remote workers, founders and digital nomads a hot desk at shared workspaces in cities all over the world. One plan, every space in the network: why have a single workplace when there are so many inspiring places to work?
One monthly plan gives you a bank of coworking hours to spend at any space in the network. Find a space on the locations page or in the app, check in when you arrive and check out when you leave. You can also reserve a seat ahead of time.
Learn more in the help centerAnyone who needs a good place to work without renting a desk. Freelancers and remote workers who are tired of cafés with spotty wifi, founders who want to meet other people building things, people with a few hours between meetings, and teams that need somewhere to sit together. If you only need a workspace a few hours a month, it costs a fraction of a dedicated desk.
Croissant works at every space in the network, in 100+ cities: New York, Los Angeles, London, Lisbon and beyond. Pick a city on the locations page to see each space's hours and seats. A membership works in every city, so travelling costs nothing extra.

Learn more in the help centerYes. The Croissant app is on the App Store and Google Play, and the website does the same things: find spaces nearby, reserve a seat, check in and out, add a guest and manage your plan.

Plans & pricing
How memberships are priced, what a plan includes and what happens when you need more.
Every plan is a monthly membership with a bank of hours: the more hours, the lower the rate per hour. Prices differ by city, so pick yours on the individual plans page to see them. Companies are priced per employee plus the workspace the team books; see team pricing.
Coworking hours to spend at any space in the network, free seat reservations, guest hours on the 40 and 120 hour plans, rollover of what you don't use, and the app. Meeting rooms and private offices are booked and paid separately.
Learn more in the help centerNo. Coworking plans renew month to month and you can pause or cancel any time from your account settings. Only monthly private offices carry a fixed term.
Learn more in the help centerYes. Unused coworking and guest hours roll over for up to 6 billing cycles. Each cycle's own hours are used first, then the newest rollover batch.
Learn more in the help centerKeep checking in: extra time is billed at your plan's hourly rate in 30-minute blocks. You can also buy an hours pack, upgrade your plan, or wait for the next cycle.
Learn more in the help centerThere is no separate day pass to buy. Billing is hourly, so a short day costs less than a day pass, and a month of the entry plan renews with no commitment. The day pass comparison shows what a month of Croissant costs next to the typical day pass at other spaces in your city.

Learn more in the help centerYes. Tap Reserve seats on the space page, then pick a date up to 6 weeks ahead, an arrival time and any guests. Reserving is free, uses no hours and can be cancelled.

Yes. Guest hours let you bring a friend, colleague or client to work beside you, and your guest doesn't need an account. Once you're checked in, tap Add a guest. The 40-hour plan includes 5 guest hours a month and the 120-hour plan 20; after that each guest is billed at your plan's hourly rate.
