The NS Cafe: Coworking with Ocean Views, Coffee, and Community
An inside look at the NS Cafe, Network School's coworking space, including facilities, atmosphere, coffee, and what makes it unique for remote work.
The Space
The NS Cafe is Network School's central hub for work and socializing.
The NS Cafe is Network School's central hub for work and socializing. It features open seating areas with tables and chairs suitable for laptop work, communal tables for collaborative sessions, and quieter zones for focused work. The space has views of the ocean and Forest City's coastline, creating a pleasant work environment. WiFi is available throughout, and power outlets are accessible at most seating positions. The cafe is air-conditioned, which is essential given Malaysia's tropical climate. The space also serves as the venue for meals, making it a natural gathering point throughout the day.
Coffee and Beverages
Coffee is available at the NS Cafe and included in your membership. The quality is decent for daily consumption. Some members supplement with their own coffee equipment or make runs to nearby coffee shops for specialty drinks. Water and basic beverages are freely available. The cafe functions as both a workspace and a social space, so you can grab a drink and settle in for hours of work without feeling like you need to order more. It is less like a commercial cafe with purchase requirements and more like a well-equipped community common room.
The Atmosphere
The NS Cafe has a distinct energy. On a typical morning, you will see dozens of members working on laptops, having quiet conversations, or collaborating on projects. The background noise level is moderate, similar to a busy coffee shop. Some members thrive in this environment, feeding off the ambient energy. Others find it too stimulating for deep work and use the cafe primarily for social work sessions and meetings while retreating to their rooms for focused tasks. The atmosphere shifts throughout the day, with mornings being more work-focused and evenings becoming more social. You can apply at ns.com and experience the NS Cafe culture during your first day.

“The NS Cafe is the heartbeat of the community. You sit down to work and end up in a conversation that turns into a collaboration. That kind of serendipity doesn't happen at WeWork.”
