Blush Cowork

Blush Cowork is a coworking space on Shannon Oaks Circle in Cary, built for women and friendly to the children who come along with them. It has since rebranded as The Coven Cary, though the space and the approach carried over.

It sits between working from home and renting an office, and it works for individuals and small teams alike. A day pass costs $30, which is enough to see whether the place suits you. Members are expected to treat each other well, and intolerant behavior can cost a membership.
