How did you hear about HanaHaus? 👂

“I have actually been to both HanaHaus coworking space locations on accident. Both times I was looking for some coffee around Newport Beach and Palo Alto, and surprisingly HanaHaus was the place I stumbled upon. There’s something so interesting about the workspace — its vibe, environment, and even its restrooms.”

Why do you like working at HanaHaus? 🏠

“For me, as a creative, there's a lot of natural light, and this space sparks creativity. Being able to walk outside and get some air is great for productivity. The coffee is also pretty good.”

What is your go-to Blue Bottle Coffee order? ☕️

“The 'Spiced' NOLA because it's usually hot out and it's refreshing. And the spices are pretty unique.”

What is your favorite space in HanaHaus? 💛
