Non-members can enjoy refreshments at Try Coffee, BoxJelly’s in-house coffee bar offering a selection of premium beverages to the community.

Understanding the need to adapt to the effects of COVID-19, BoxJelly has a comprehensive protocol to protect the health and safety of employees, members and guests. Staff members clean and sanitize shared common areas three times a day using a hypochlorous acid (HOCI) cleaner, and guests are encouraged to wipe down all spaces and amenities following their use. Indoors, BoxJelly uses air purifiers and air filters, while the outdoor workspace options provide a safe, open-air environment.
