Not a cowork.Your third place.
A small members’ club to work from, in a villa in the Armenian Quarter. Built for good work, familiar faces and conversations worth coming back for.
The Wi-Fi isn’t the point. Who’s in the room is.
Home is the first place and work the second. A third place is the one you choose: somewhere to do focused work around other people, fall into a conversation you didn’t plan, and come back to because it feels familiar. Nookyard is built to make that easier: daylight, shared tables and a membership kept small on purpose.
- All-day daylight
- Shared tables
- Soft chairs, if you’d rather
- Your seat for the interval
You choose it
Nobody assigns you this room. It is the one you go to because of who else is in it.
Faces become familiar
The cap is the mechanism. Membership is kept deliberately small, so the people around you can become familiar.
You’re not a tenant
Membership, not hours. Nothing to clock, nothing to settle at the door.
For the everyday, there is the Club.
A room to work from in the Mélange Café villa: shared tables, daylight and other people doing their own work. Your plan sets the hours; weekday visits are reserved from your account, and Saturday mornings are walk-in.
What the Club includes
- The workspace, on your plan’s hours
- Reservations on weekday plans
- A specialty drink on each day you check in
- The members’ groups and Club events
- Every Community session as well
Not a private office or a fixed desk: you take a seat at the shared tables.
- Hours
- Mon–Fri 09:30 – 18:30 · Sat 08:30 – 13:00

It started with real conversations.
Nookyard grew from Cafeaua de Sâmbătă, an informal coffee meetup built around real conversations. It carries that idea into a physical place, hosted by Mélange Café.
- Where it comes from
- Cafeaua de Sâmbătă, an informal coffee meetup.
- Who hosts it
- Mélange Café, in its villa in the Armenian Quarter.
- Who it is for
- People who build things, Romanian and international. The room runs in English, so nobody is left outside the conversation.
- How people meet
- The shared tables, Nookyard Sessions once they are announced, and sessions members can propose and host.
Some members have chosen to publish a page about themselves. Those are the only profiles we show in public; everyone else stays private.
Meet the members who chose to be public →Plans and prices, plainly.
Every Club plan is a membership paid monthly or yearly, and it renews until you cancel. The hours are when your plan lets you in.
Every plan: a specialty drink on each day you check in, the members’ groups, Club events and every Community session.
Applying is free. No card, no payment details. You only pay once you are accepted and choose to join.
Without a membership
Free once it opens. Built around people.
The free Community is how you get to know Nookyard: Nookyard Sessions, talks planned for Tuesdays, and the conversations that follow them.
Nookyard Sessions
A different speaker each time: someone building something real, talking plainly about how.
Community events
Other events open to the Community, listed alongside the sessions.
The conversation after
The talk is the reason to come. The people you meet afterwards are the reason to come back.
Free, and separate from the Club: the Community is the sessions and events, the workspace is the Club.
Free accounts open soon. Until then, every confirmed session is listed on the Sessions page, and Club members can already register.
Two ways to start today.
