Chicago cafés for getting work done—and meeting up
· Updated
Not every coffee shop is built for a workday. The best ones have enough room to open a laptop, enough food and coffee to make a few hours feel welcome, and the right level of bustle for a one-on-one meeting or a low-stakes brainstorm. These Chicago cafés are places to get through your to-do list, meet a colleague or collaborator, and stay awhile—without having to choose between a functional workspace and a place you want to spend time in.
