Cape Town’s Best Pet-Friendly Co-Working & Meeting Spaces – Tips from Ideas Cartel

Looking for the perfect boardroom or co-working space in Cape Town? Whether you're planning a team strategy session, a pitch meeting, or just want a daily workspace that doesn't suck the life out of you — Ideas Cartel has you covered.
Here are our top tips for choosing the ultimate workspace — straight from our team (and yes, we allow dogs).
1. Choose a Pet-Friendly Space — Because Why Should You Leave Them Behind?
Let’s be honest: pets are stress relievers. At Ideas Cartel, your furry friend is welcome. We’re proudly pet-friendly, so your pup can join you in meetings, naps under the desk, or just tagging along while you conquer your to-do list.
Pro tip: A coffee in one hand and a leash in the other? That’s the work-life balance we’re here for.
2. Don’t Settle for Bad Coffee
We take our coffee seriously. Our bar team — Dave & Troy — don’t just serve drinks, they serve purpose. Great coffee fuels great ideas, so make sure your space comes with the kind of espresso that gets you through the 3 p.m. slump.
Tip: If your meeting includes coffee from us, expect compliments from clients.
3. Location, Location, Location
Whether you need to be near the V&A Waterfront or looking for a quieter corner close to Newlands Stadium, our spaces in Green Point and Claremont are perfectly placed.
- Green Point – Vibrant, central, and full of character
- Claremont – Calmer, scenic, and just as functional
Your space should impress clients and be a joy to work from. Ours does both.
4. Always Ask About Catering
Yes — we do catering. Whether you want light bites for your brainstorm session or a full spread for a boardroom meeting, we’ll take care of it.
Tip: Never present a pitch on an empty stomach.
5. Choose People Who Care
Your space is only as good as the people behind it. From your first tour to your tenth meeting, our team is here to support you, smile included.
From tech setup to coffee top-ups, we’ve got you covered.
