Plexpod Crossroads

If you are looking for a coworking space in Kansas City, this is a great option! This space is located on the fourth floor of 1800 Baltimore and they offer day passes as well as other rental options such as a dedicated cubicle and office space or simply a mailbox with a suite number. The vibe here is business-class with a bit of fun. The main area is a series of tables well equipped with managerial chairs and plenty of outlets. You can spread out on a table but still have someone sitting across from you to bounce ideas off or network. They view from these tables is absolutely incredible: downtown Kansas City and the Kauffman Performing Arts center. For a truly inspirational experience, work on the roof and really get to see Kansas City. The rooftop area has both tables and wi-fi so that you can be productive and enjoy the feel of the city.Entrepreneurs and other business people live on coffee and this place delivers. A full espresso bar with barista is available in the morning and in the afternoon it's help yourself. Two custom blends of The Roasterie coffee is available on drip. I recommend the SmartCoffee which is infused with cocoa nibs. Mmm. My favorite is to top the SmartCoffee with a shot or two of espresso and a shot of peppermint Torani syrups.Other amenities for rentals include a variety of meeting rooms and studio spaces as well as the entire sixth floor for large meetings. The copy room is well equipped with your typical office supplies such as binding equipment, card scanners and of course a copier and printer. Costs for these amenities depends on your lease package. The kitchen is well stocked with munchies and like a typical office environment, people often bring things to share. If you need something, just ask because the support team is very willing to accommodate. Located in the middle of the Crossroads district, there are a ton of eating establishments within walking distance making allowing you to park your car one place and keep it there all day. During busy times, parking can be a slight problem as there is no established parking lot and you'll have to find something on the street. During "First Fridays" art fair this can be a particular problem.Once you've outgrown working at coffee shops and need a focused place to work and meet with clients, coworking is a great option and Bizperc is my preferred choice in Kansas City for that right mix of amenities and fun.

Plexpod Westport stole from me when their Westport location was open. I was told my suite was being bought out by a larger company and had to vacate in 2 weeks. Turns out they backed out of their lease with the parent company at the last minute and as a result pushed all of the tenants out with little to no notice. Once leaving I asked for the return of my security deposit and was promised it was going to be sent within 30 business days via mail (I have emails). I never received! I was in conversations with the COO and she cc'd the now President to ensure he took care of it. All of a sudden several high executives of the company left the company (communicated to me by the President). I was then told I wouldn't be receiving my security deposit any longer and that I needed to ask the parent company for my money (I did not have a contract with the parent company and they stated they have no accounts or information to assist us tenants who were left out to dry.) The parent company stated that they have received emails and phone calls from several of the past Westport tenants who were asked to vacate as well that experienced the same treatment as they werf directed by Plexpod to ask them as well for their money.
