"We've operated Jamjar's kitchen in multiple locations over the past decade. Coho has been a breath of fresh air in the coworking space community. The facility is well equipped and very well maintained. However, the real value comes from the way the business is operated. There's a genuine drive from Andrea to truly make the space a successful hub for all involved and not simply act as a landlord. We're stoked to be part of the community."
