My advice as someone who has rented office and studio space is, why are you in such a hurry. Take your time and get it right. Most places will want you to sign up to long lease.
However there might be some office space that's small, short term or even monthly rentals. But they tend to be expensive on a sq ft basis. Though a proper office might be too big for you. how many people and what will you need in the office?
Your question is very vague.

true, most people here work out of their bedroom or moms basement when they get home from school/work. and by "work" i mean post on GFY beating masturbation sessions
seriously tho, I rented office space years ago when I lived in LA to separate work and home and was well worth it. for the last two years I have been working out of my home. seems great and all, but when Im putting in 10+ hour days, I feel like being in my house is always work.
the company Im working for now is dicking me around about getting an office space, but until then, its a spare bedroom now office.
here is what I suggest... find something close to your home, no more than 15 minute drive. some days you'll wake up a little late and think "fuck it, im working from home" and before you know it, your just leasing a place that you dont remember what it looks like.
look for a place thats close to restaurants and food, NOT a bar. look forward to going out to lunch or taking a break during the day to walk around. My old office was on Venice beach and was the highlight of my day to go outside and see what I worked so hard for.
lastly, dont buy something bigger than what you need because you think you will need it. most places require a 3 year lease, you can talk smaller places into 1 year with options to move to a bigger unit. a few guys I worked with in LA changed offices 3 times in 2 years.
