Nuage B

Jesús working from his dedicated desk at Nuage-B in Saint-Henri — a quiet, modern workspace designed for freelancers and independent professionals. TL;DR — From Cafés to Coworking Montréal For years, Jesús Robles, founder of Mark3ting – Digital Marketing Solutions, worked from cafés across Montréal before finding stability and focus at Nuage-B in Saint-Henri. At Nuage-B, he moved from a café-based routine to a dedicated desk in a professional coworking space in Montréal, with silence, structure, and a supportive community. He now benefits from a professional business address, meeting rooms, and a place where he can safely leave his equipment and confidently host clients. His story reflects a common journey for freelancers and remote workers: moving away from noisy cafés and toward coworking in Saint-Henri as a more sustainable, professional way to work. From cafés to coworking in Montréal If you’ve ever tried to work from cafés across Montréal — laptop, headphones, coffee cup, and a bit of hope — then you’ll understand the story of Jesús Robles. Today he runs Mark3ting – Digital Marketing Solutions from his office inside Nuage-B in Saint-Henri, but this wasn’t always his routine. His path to coworking was shaped by years of searching for a place where he could truly focus. A freelancer between tables, outlets, and noise Jesús’s path to coworking was shaped by years of searching for a place where he could truly focus. Before settling at Nuage-B, his mornings often started in familiar places: a Starbucks on the corner, a Second Cup near NDG, or whichever café happened to be a little quieter or had an empty outlet. “At first I liked the movement around me,” he says. “But over time, the constant background noise, the unpredictable Wi-Fi, and the daily hustle just wore me down.” One afternoon, after adding everything up — coffee, snacks, transport — he realized he was spending well over $300 a month just to work. That was the moment he understood the café routine wasn’t sustainable anymore. A freelancer working inside a bustling café in Montréal — the routine that eventually led Jesús to seek a more stable workspace. That realization pushed him to search for a different kind of environment — not an office in the traditional sense, but a place where he could sit down, take a breath, and know the day wouldn’t revolve around noise levels or socket availability. The search for something more stable Eventually, Jesús began looking for a different kind of environment — not a traditional office with a long lease, but a place where he could sit down, take a breath, and know the day wouldn’t revolve around noise levels or socket availability. While checking out options near Lachine and Saint-Henri, he discovered Nuage-B, a coworking space in Saint-Henri located inside the historic Château Saint-Amboise along the Lachine Canal. The contrast with the cafés was immediate. “It struck me right away,” he says. “The building has this old industrial character, but inside it feels modern and calm. It’s the kind of space where your mind finally stops jumping around.” A different rhythm, a better routine The change was subtle at first, but noticeable. Instead of rushing to secure a table, Jesús could simply walk in, drop his bag, and start working. No noise competition. No worrying about someone bumping his laptop. No packing everything up just to go grab lunch. His routine also shifted in small but important ways. He began bringing homemade meals and using the shared kitchen at Nuage-B, which helped him save money and keep a healthier rhythm. And meeting clients? That was a transformation on its own. “Before, I tried to hold conversations in busy cafés. Now I use the meeting rooms — quiet, private, with big screens. Clients take you more seriously when the environment matches the work.” But beyond convenience, Jesús found something he didn’t expect: stability. “When you work on your own, it’s easy to feel like you’re floating. Having a dedicated space every day… it grounds you.” Building Mark3ting at Nuage-B From his workspace in Saint-Henri, Jesús runs Mark3ting – Digital Marketing Solutions, serving businesses across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Working inside a professional coworking space in Montréal gave him a more stable environment to focus on strategy, client projects, and content creation. Being surrounded by other professionals — writers, consultants, designers, founders — adds an energy that is hard to find when working alone. “You see other people building their projects,” he says. “It pushes you. Not in a competitive way — more like a reminder that we’re all trying to make something work.” The move to Nuage-B also elevated his company’s presence. Having a stable business address in Montréal and a professional environment changed how clients viewed the agency. For many freelancers, this setup works like a virtual office — a serious address, mail handling, a real place to meet clients, and a consistent base of operations. “When people visit, they immediately see commitment,” Jesús explains. “It shows that what we do isn’t just a side project.” A story familiar to many in Montréal Jesús’s experience isn’t unique — and that’s precisely why it resonates. Many freelancers and remote workers in Montréal start out working from cafés, attracted by the flexibility and the atmosphere. But sooner or later, the noise, the costs, and the lack of stability catch up. Coworking offers a middle ground: independence, but with structure; flexibility, but without chaos. You still choose your own schedule and projects, but you no longer depend on background music volume, crowded tables, or unstable Wi-Fi. “Coworking in Montréal isn’t just about a desk,” Jesús says. “It’s about being in a place where you can actually grow — professionally and personally.” A story familiar to many in Montréal Jesús’s experience isn’t unique — and that’s precisely why it resonates.
