CityGrounds has indoor, outdoor, and upstairs seating, so there's room for everyone here. Flowers line the patio, with a canvas of trees across the street to refresh you from Chicago's concrete jungle

Great coffee. However you can cut the awkwardness upstairs with a KNIFE! Only go up to the posh second floor if you are planning to get some serious work done independently. ;)

Customer service is great and fast. The coffee can seem a little expensive for the size (got a small chai latte for about $3 or so), but it is good quality! Inside and outside seating areas too.

Nice location and trendy coffee house feel. Great coffee offerings but disappointed I couldn't get a pour over, even though it was listed on the permanent menu. Oh well. Better than Starbucks.

Great little cafe near the Zoo. They sell marshmallows to roast on the fire outside.

Large selection of beans for purchase, and they make a great gibraltar.

Wifi is extremely reliable. Really nice tea selection, served in pots that are brewed properly. And the upstairs is a great space to work!

Very fast internet. Great selection of music. By far the best sourced/roasted coffee in the city.

When walking in, use the door to the right that looks like a castle door. If not, regulars inside will be amused. Don't be offended, we all did it the first time

Pour-over, espresso, and bakeries are good here.

Wifi pass changes all the time, which is good because its more reliable. Coffee is a bit hit or miss, but when good, REALLY good.

The Apricot Orange Spice tea is the best tea I have ever had.

Way underrated. Coffee selection is pretty good.

Rudest customer service ever. Stopped serving more than 2 hrs before closing. Coffee was meh. Wi-Fi was good. Might like it better with less pissy staff.

While the storefront/1st floor is standing room only, there's plenty of seating upstairs. But beware: no wifi

Coffee is good, BUT...$4.15 for a small mocha? Ouch.
