About Us

We’re a membership-based collaborative workspace for independent designers and developers, food makers and beer brewers, writers, comic artists, game makers and social justice organizers—a community first, a shared space second.
MISO IS COWORKING
We have everything you need and not a lot you don’t: Workstations, power, wi-fi and Herman Miller SAYL chairs. A kitchenette on each floor with fridge space for your lunch and all the coffee and tea you can drink. A library featuring Toronto authors and artists, books on game design and Web development. Five arcade machines, lunch tables, and cozy couches in the corner. There’s no assigned seating or storage, so just come in and get to work.

MISO IS A COMMUNITY
Our space is more than the tables and chairs and walls. Every day, Miso is filled with people focusing on interesting projects, sharing their challenges and triumphs. You might just find your next business partner, project collaborator, and friend here. And you don’t have to be a coworking member to be a part of it all: Since January 2012, we have held 1014 open-to-the-public events, from tech meetups to beer tastings, game nights to pop-up taco fiestas.
