At Posterous we experienced a similar boost, but then over time it turned out that we spent enough time commuting and breaking up our days that it became a bother. It's important to have a central space where everyone can coordinate and plan, but beyond that, when you're about building product -- sometimes you just need quiet time alone to make things happen.

We switched to a 3-days-in-office, 2 days work from home schedule and that's turned out to be a big boon to productivity.

I always felt drained when I had to be in the office 4 or 5 days a week. I enjoyed the 1-2, maybe 3 days in the office and the other time at home.

At the moment I'm working for myself again and decided to go the co-working route and I'm loving it. Home, coffee shop or office depending on the day. I also like to work weird hours, so having 24 hr access to an office comes in handy when I want to work from 10pm to 7am on a Tuesday.
