Read MoreHey coffee friends, and welcome to our February Café Session! Somehow, we’ve already made it through the shortest (but somehow still exhausting) month of the year. Between the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, and the absolute chaos of the 4 Nations Face-Off, February really packed in the drama. Let’s be honest—most of us didn’t even know that tournament was happening until the final game, and then suddenly, everyone was a die-hard hockey fan. It got a lot of attention in the second-to-last matchup, but not just for what happened on the ice—wild times.

Read MoreHello, coffee friends, and welcome to our December Café Session! Can you believe we’ve made it to the final stretch of the year? December always feels like a strange mix of chaos and calm. Everyone’s rushing to wrap up projects, but let’s be honest—most emails at this point end with, “Let’s circle back next year,” because nobody’s really working. It’s that awkward limbo where we’re pretending to be productive while secretly just thinking about holiday plans and cookies.
Read MoreThanksgiving: the ultimate marathon of food, family, and festivity.

Read MoreSeptember is behind us, and with it, National Self-Care Month has come to a close. As we step into October, we’re reminded that self-care doesn’t have to end with the flip of a calendar page. One of the most comforting rituals that can help us carry that sense of calm and mindfulness forward is the simple act of brewing and enjoying a cup of coffee.

As we bid farewell to September, it's supposed to be cooling down, but Denver seems to have completely missed the fall memo—90 degrees as we head into October is just wild! The one upside? Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a warm Halloween for once. Growing up there was nothing worse than having to cover up a cool costume with a winter coat (still a childhood trauma for many of us).
This month, we’re diving into the cozy world of campfire coffee and...

But if football isn't your thing, September also marks the return to school for the kids and the end of vacation season. At Enterprise Coworking, we're seeing members return to the office as their kids head back to class, and our student members are hitting the books here in our space.
