Switchyards Cabbagetown

Switchyards has always been a great place to get some focused work done. They used to have baristas with specialty coffee then they had sparkling water on tap, now it's just free coffee and hot tea and stroopwaffles but the coffee from the machine is local and tasty and the teas are also lovely. They definitely nailed down the model for an inviting and productive co-working space.

The good- I love the layout and size of the space. I like to stand and I like windows. The not so good- Sometimes I have to drive around for 10 min before I can secure a parking space. And out of all the Switchyards locations I’ve been to- this location has the LOUDEST music. And I actually like background noise so that says a lot. I hope you guys will consider to just bring it down a little bit :)

I've had the opportunity at this point to visit every Switchyards location around Atlanta, and I can honestly say the consistency throughout the brand is incredible. From customer service, to cleanliness, and artistic detail, it's always top notch. Highly recommend joining the brand to get work done. Cabbagetown has been my favorite spot because of the surrounding neighborhood, but every spot has had their unique flair added to it by such an incredible design team. Switchyards perfectly captures the "Third Space" concept.

Switchyards Cabbagetown is in a great location, and I appreciate that there’s some off-street parking depending on the time of day. The space itself has a cozy, coffee shop vibe—which can be a pro or con depending on what kind of work environment you’re looking for. Unfortunately, the music is a real challenge. Even with noise-canceling headphones, it’s tough to focus when the volume is consistently that high. It feels more like a playlist for a bustling café than a space designed for deep work. I understand the desire to create a certain ambiance, but I wish there were more consideration for those trying to concentrate. The fact that this has been mentioned in other reviews and still hasn’t changed is beyond frustrating. The quiet zone helps, but the seating isn’t ideal for long work sessions. Ironically, the most comfortable spots are in the main area, where the music is loudest. As someone who loves coffee, I must mention it was a letdown. It’s a big part of the experience for me, and I’ve found it overrated—probably one of the weaker aspects of the space. On the bright side, the tea is much better. Until the music improves, it may not be the best fit for those needing a quieter, more focused environment.

Folks at Switchyards HQ - please listen to the rest of the reviews here and turn the music down at this location! It's genuinely distracting and I can't do what I came here to do: work and focus. None of the other locations I've been to have this issue. Everything else about Switchyards is amazing and I truly love coming here!

Very nice space with amazing vintage decor, complimentary coffee/tea and they even have oat milk! This has increased my productivity by leaps and bounds. Passed by so many times and not sure why I didn’t join sooner! Plan on being a member for a time to come! 👏🏾

Such an cool place, but I wish they didn’t spray so much Febreze. I have a sensitivity to fragrance and it’s so strong there that I get migraines. I’m surprised they are still using Febreze given that we now know that synthetic fragrances can pose various health risks due to their potential for hormone disruption, respiratory irritation, and allergic reactions. These fragrances often contain chemicals linked to cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive issues. Even if they want to spray something, there are so many better options nowadays that just use essential oils! Would re-join Switchyards in a heartbeat if they just got rid of the dang Febreze!! I know multiple people who feel the exact same way. The smell is so overwhelming.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Workspace with Thoughtful Details! I had a fantastic experience at Switchyard Cabbagetown last night! The space is modern, clean, and designed with productivity in mind. I especially loved the phone booths, which were perfect for my Zoom conference—private, quiet, and comfortable. The coffee is delicious, and I really appreciate the ambient focus music in the meeting rooms and the white noise in the quiet space—it made it so much easier to stay in the zone. Even though I initially joined the downtown location, Cabbagetown was much more convenient for meeting with a client, and I love the flexibility of being able to use different locations. I'm excited to explore more of what Switchyard has to offer and make the most of my membership. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-designed, flexible, and inspiring workspace!

The perfect place to get work done while in the city. Free coffee and water. Phone booths to do calls. Membership required

Switchyards opened up the Cabbagetown location rather recently, and I decided to join one of friends that's a member of Switchyards to see what it was all about. I've got to say that the atmosphere, look and feel of the space was extremely warm and welcoming. It reminded me much more of a speakeasy meets workspace, which for those working from home or in between jobs (like myself) is extremely appealing. I also appreciated that there was a heads down space for those who wanted to be in a quieter setting. As you can see from the photos, there is plenty of plants, seating, outlets, and more. There is even a nice coffee/ tea bar where members can enjoy free coffee, cold brew, as well as a special drink called Clubkeep cold brew concoction. I tried this drink and it's an enjoyable mix of cold brew and what tasted like a hint of orange. Switchyards continues to do things right here in Cabbagetown and stays true to their brand exemplifying one of their mottos 'Made with Soul in Atlanta.'

The price is fabulous, the coffee is fine, and the atmosphere is comfortable. It's difficult to find a good seat sometimes. There's often a line for the bathrooms, and parking on the street is cumbersome. So it's worth the price, but you're ready to move on after a few months. Their cancellation policies are opaque and aggravating, be warned.
