I’m in the depths of studying for boards, these are my go to spots to lock tf in!
Map
you can definitely feel the community vibes here! love the pastries here and they have creative seasonal drinks.
Cadinho Bakery & Café
Great study spot. Both savoury and sweet pastries available, hard to find Asian pastries in the Loop so I love coming here. Matcha and hojicha options are delicious too!
Sweet Bean
Come early for a spot! They also have free parking. It’s really peaceful here and the workers are really nice!
LVL UP COFFEE
it’s beautiful here! It was surprisingly empty too so there’s a lot of space to work.
HEYDAY EATERY
I literally never pay for drinks because they always have FREE DRINK COUPONS.
I always find a spot here and the hours are great! I can stay late which I love. Just search up capital one cafe drink voucher on google something will def pop up!
Capitol One Cafe
this place was made for people to wfh or study! lots of seating options, I especially like their cubby seats for some personal space. It’s also right on the river so it’s a beautiful view :)
River Roux
spacious and quiet, I see lots of people working here too!
Dollop Coffee Co.
Even though it looks small there’s lots of seating on the first and second floor! If you are looking for that academia, classic vibe this is the spot! Pretty popular spot so get here early.
Bourgeois Pig Cafe
I feel like this place is severely underrated! so much seating, salad bar, hot food car, cafe, pizza, all in one place!!! I could camp here all day, unfortunately they do close kinda early!!
Beatrix Market
So beautiful and peaceful, I haven’t found any other place in the loop with teas like the ones they serve here!
TARY
Ok this one is all about the LOCATION! It’s so nice sitting and seeing the Wrigley building.
Peet's Coffee
cafe made for studying/working!! they have so much seating and lots of outlets. they even have a downstairs quiet study room with dividers so you can really lock in :)
Olive and Oak Cafe
the drinks here are amazing! and the vibes here are unlike any other cafe, it's so beautiful. there are a lot of spots to study here too but it gets busy so come early!
