Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Desk, a co-working cafe, is now open in the former Buffalo Exchange space at 230 East 13th Avenue -- after a slight delay/. But that's just part of the business.
"We've been very positively received," says Kristian Barowsky, who co-owns the spot with his wife, Mandy Stevens. "We're really excited to be a part of the neighborhood."
The front of the completely renovated space serves as a traditional cafe, with first-come-first-served free seating, standard cafe fare, coffee from Ink, local beer and wine by the glass. Communal and private work spaces are available down the hall for $5 and $10 an hour, respectively. Reservations can be made on the Desk's website. And for $375 a month, you can have unlimited access to all the spaces during regular business hours -- Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
