Switchyards Chamblee - Chamblee, Georgia

I notice things and Switchyard provides an endless source of things to notice, from the millions of tiny design details you find in secret places all over each of the locations, to the music, the lighting and messaging to customers. There are stories upon stories, woven into histories and fantasies laid out in these spaces. This is a hospitality business and it shows with wonderful, inviting, warm hospitality that lets any one working from this space feel a little more human in an increasingly inhumane world. I actually look forward to going to work at Switchyards and find myself spending more time there than I should as a result. But it works out great for me and I live nearby, so I can make a bit of a mess of myself at work, leave it all there, surround myself in some equally cool people doing equally cool things and some times get inspired by what I see and hear. They keep it clean. They make improvements and they keep the quality up. Totally worth it.

Don't know what I would do without Switchyards! All of their locations are great, but Chamblee has become my go-to multiple times a week. There's plenty of space and an absolutely fantastic "deep work/quiet area" with several spots to hunker down and work without distraction or noise.

As with all the locations, in the main area there's a great vibe with an excellent variety of music and great lighting.

At Chamblee, there is rarely a parking spot available behind the building, but I've always been able to find free street parking nearby.

LOVE Switchyards and really appreciate what they've done with this particular location!

Cozy, clean, well managed, and well priced. Depending on how busy this location can get, you might need to park further up or down the street but that’s just about the only criticism I could make. Been working out of this location about twice a week for almost a year and it’s been great.

Great space, energy, vibe, and coffee. Everything I love about a great coffee shop, but I can focus and get lots done!

Great co-working space walking distance from the Doraville MARTA station. It requires a membership that can be purchased online, and membership includes entry for a couple guests. As with all Switchyards locations in the area, there's the coffee machine (with milk and oatmilk), a few teas, and stroopwaffle. Food is otherwise not allowed, which keeps the spaces very clean. There are areas with desk spaces, group working spaces, small conference room, private phone booths, and a quiet area for focusing.

The seats are not particularly comfortable, but there are lots of different options for seating. Overall, a great place to go to and work outside of the house.

If you take MARTA, perhaps pack a lunch to eat outside. There are not many food options within walking distance. However, possibilities are plenty on Buford Highway with a car.

Pros: near MARTA, retro vibes, endless coffee/tea to help you work
Cons: sketchy parking at night; wheelchair accessible on gravel only (paved path is elevated)

This is a hidden gem! The only complaint that I have is the poor lighting around the building. It’s very creepy walking to the back parking lot after hours. It didn’t feel safe.

My “home away from home” office, you kept me sane this last year. Highly recommended space for working or just as a calm refuge for study and reading.

Great value! Quiet, clean workspace. Plenty of seating. Sit in quiet by yourself or meet with colleagues.
