Café One, a coworking and coffee lifestyle brand in Nigeria, has strengthened its position as a pioneer in flexible workspaces by expanding to 18 hubs across nine states.
According to a statement by the firm, the expansion reaffirms the company’s ambition to redefine how Nigerians work, collaborate, and build businesses in a fast-changing economy.
With the future of work increasingly detached from traditional offices, Café One said it has positioned itself as a benchmark for modern coworking. Its model blends world-class facilities with the warmth of café culture, creating spaces where professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives can work productively while enjoying an atmosphere of community and connection.
Unlike conventional workspaces that simply offer desks and internet access, Café One noted that it delivers a holistic experience. Bright, airy environments are intentionally designed to inspire productivity, while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee encourages moments of pause and reflection.
Kelechi Nwaozuzu, General Manager of Café One, stated, “Café One is more than just a coworking space. Our vision is to build communities where work and lifestyle intersect seamlessly. We’re creating environments where people don’t just clock in hours but also build meaningful connections, grow their businesses, and enjoy the process.”
By situating its hubs in accessible, vibrant neighbourhoods, Café One is also tackling the challenges of proximity and convenience. With 18 locations spread across Nigeria’s commercial and urban centres, professionals no longer need to sacrifice time or comfort to access world-class work environments.
The expansion comes at a time when Nigeria’s workforce is grappling with rising costs of business operations, unreliable infrastructure, and a shift towards hybrid and remote work models. Café One’s ability to integrate lifestyle and productivity positions it as not just a coworking brand but as a catalyst for redefining Nigeria’s work culture.
The company’s offerings are diverse, reflecting the varying needs of Nigeria’s professional class. For freelancers and startups, its flexible coworking packages reduce overhead costs such as power, internet, and utilities, while providing premium amenities at accessible rates. For corporates, Café One offers private offices, soundproof meeting rooms, and training spaces tailored for workshops and boardroom discussions. Its “Café One for Business” product line further supports entrepreneurs and SMEs with virtual offices, professional addresses, and mail-handling services.
Membership benefits are reinforced by the Café One Card, which offers customers discounts on coworking packages and cashback on café purchases, deepening engagement with its growing community. The brand also serves as a cultural hub, hosting professional workshops, networking events, and nightlife activities, as well as opening its spaces for members to organise private events.
