With full-length windows, co.lab is a small, but light-flooded and functional work space. Costing only ₱150, Co.lab has the cheapest day pass that we’re aware of.
Working at Co.Lab for a full day can be challenging, because the seating isn’t quite comfortable enough, and without height adjustable chairs the table heights are not ergonomic for typing. We love being there for a couple of hours, though.
We last visited Co.lab end of March 2019.

- During an hour-long video call, the video stream lagged a couple of times. We haven’t done this often enough to know if it was the laptop or the Internet.
