Not everyone works nine to five. If you need 24-hour coworking in Oakland for early starts, late deadlines or calls across time zones, STAK Space gives members 24/7 access through the STAK app. You can work at dawn before the commute, after dinner when the house is loud, or on a Sunday when a project can’t wait. This guide explains how around-the-clock access works at STAK, what is included with a coworking membership, and a few habits that help night owls and early birds get the most from the space.
How 24-Hour Coworking in Oakland Works at STAK
Members open the doors with the STAK app, so access isn’t tied to a front desk being staffed. Our Basic membership includes 24/7 access to 1950 Franklin along with the 1st Floor Lounge, 2nd Floor Coworking, the 4th Floor Lounge and the 39th Floor Penthouse Lounge. Staff are on site Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM to help with guests and questions, and the app handles access the rest of the time. That mix gives you the freedom of a home office with the focus of a real workplace. If you’re a solo worker comparing options, our guide to coworking for freelancers in Oakland covers how members set up their week.
What a Coworking Membership Includes
Basic membership starts from $299 per month and covers 24/7 access, high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited phone booth and pod access, and three hours of complimentary conference room bookings each month, with a discount when you need more. The HQ membership starts from $499 per month and adds the fitness center by MoveStrong plus five hours of conference room time. Both plans include the STAK app and community, so you can book rooms, register guests and see what is happening in the building from your phone. If you want the same seat every day, a dedicated desk starts at $399 per month and includes Basic membership benefits; see our post on a dedicated desk in Oakland. Full plan details are on the memberships page.
Quiet Hours for Deep Focus
Early mornings and evenings are often the quietest times in any coworking space, and that’s when many members do their most focused work. STAK has more than 500 flex desks available daily, so even at busier times you can usually find a spot that suits the task. For calls, phone booths are available with a one-hour limit per booking, which keeps them open for everyone. If quiet is your top priority, our guide to quiet places to work in Oakland has more ideas for focused sessions. A good habit is to plan your deep work for off-peak hours and save meetings and lounge time for the middle of the day.
Lounges From the 1st Floor to the 39th
A 24-hour schedule is easier when you can change your scenery. Members can move between the 1st Floor Lounge, the 4th Floor Lounge and the 39th Floor Penthouse Lounge, which has a chef’s kitchen, a cocktail bar and terrace views over the city. Some people start the day at a coworking table, take calls from a booth, then finish in a lounge with a view. Across the buildings, STAK has more than 47,000 square feet of amenities, so there is room to spread out.

Fitness and Breaks on Your Schedule
Working odd hours can make it hard to fit in exercise. HQ members get access to the fitness center by MoveStrong, which covers more than 6,000 square feet with cardio machines, weights and open floor space. A workout between work blocks is a simple way to reset, especially on long days. For something more social, there’s also a golf simulator on site. When it’s time to eat, Uptown Oakland has plenty of options within a short walk, and our list of spots to eat and drink near STAK Space is a good place to start.
Tips for Night Owls and Early Birds
A few habits make 24-hour coworking easier. Book meeting rooms ahead in the STAK app so your late session or early workshop has a room waiting. If you expect a guest, register them during business hours, since guests need to be registered in advance. Keep your heavy focus work for the quiet hours and use staffed hours for anything that needs the front desk, like checking in visitors. If you find yourself coming in every day, a dedicated desk or a private office may suit you better; see the available offices or get pricing to compare. And if you split time between home and the office, a membership keeps the door open whenever the work calls.
Getting Here Any Time of Day
STAK is about 0.2 miles from 19th Street Oakland station, roughly a three-minute walk, which makes it easy to reach from across the East Bay and San Francisco. Check train times on BART, since service hours vary by day. If you drive, daily and monthly parking is available at the 1901 Franklin garage next door. Guests are welcome too: members can host up to two at a time when they register them in advance through the STAK app during business hours, and guests check in at the front desk. For neighborhood events, Visit Oakland keeps a running calendar.
