LikeBirds isn't your average desk rental — it's a freelancer-only coworking community housed in the historic Eskimofabriek, a converted industrial building on Ghent's Wiedauwkaai with soaring ceilings and natural light pouring through every corner. Self-employed status is required to join, which means the people around you are genuinely in the same boat: founders, creatives, and independent professionals who get it. The space is designed around how real work actually happens — a quiet, focused open floor, phone booths for calls, three hireable meeting rooms, and a social kitchen where "slow networking" lunches bring the community together without the awkward name-badge energy. There's a rooftop terrace with city views for when you need a breath of air, adjustable height desks, 24/7 access, and free parking right at the door. A regular calendar of workshops, trainings, and community events keeps things alive. Come try it all with a free day — workspace, welcome tour, and a community lunch included.
This workspace is known to host a welcoming and inclusive community.
This place is known for having a supportive startup and freelancer community.
This is one of the few places in the area with free parking.
23K Wiedauwkaai, 9000, Ghent, Belgium
LikeBirds sits on the Eskimofabriek industrial site at Wiedauwkaai 23K, on the urban fringe of Ghent near Dampoort station — close enough to the city centre to feel connected, far enough to skip the noise. The site itself has its own small ecosystem: a pole dance studio (NoXcuse), a CrossFit box (Crooks Crossfit), a print shop (Zwart op Wit), a physio practice (Fourward Kine), a bag designer (Helen b), and a card shop (Kaart Blanche) are all neighbours. Julie's House, known for its tarts and pastries, is nearby for those essential mid-morning breaks. By car, free parking is right in front of the building — a genuine rarity in Ghent. By bike, the site is easily accessible along Wiedauwkaai. By public transport, Dampoort train station and several bus lines put you within easy reach. On arrival, follow the LikeBirds sandwich board at street level.
Located on the Eskimofabriek (Eskimo Factory) site at Wiedauwkaai 23K, Ghent. Look for the door with the LikeBirds sandwich board sign at street level, then follow the signage up to the 1st floor. Free parking is available directly in front of the building. The site is also reachable by bike and by public transport (Dampoort train station + bus).
LikeBirds is open exclusively to freelancers and self-employed entrepreneurs — you need to be your own boss to join. This membership requirement is intentional: it creates a genuinely like-minded peer group where networking happens naturally, not forcefully.
Review summary
Reviewers describe LikeBirds as far more than a workspace — the community is cited time and again as its defining feature. Long-term members highlight genuine connections formed over lunch and coffee breaks that naturally grow into collaborations, with hosts Vicky and Lien praised by name for their warmth and hands-on approach. The space itself, housed in a former factory in Ghent, is described as beautiful, creative, and filled with natural light, including a rooftop terrace. The quality of the coffee is mentioned repeatedly, and the flexible credit system draws appreciation from those with variable schedules.
Members most consistently praise Atmosphere, Community, and Staff & service.

Exactly what we needed to brainstorm with a small group. Sitting quietly in a room with lots of natural light. We will definitely be back! :)
