Rivers and Roads Cafe

"If you’re motivated by being in the company of people who are being very productive, try working at Rivers and Roads in Edgewater. This national park-themed cafe's proximity to Loyola University means that it’s common to find students studying, working on group projects, and breaking the record for most words typed per minute. They have some great bagels from Steingold's, pastries from Publican Quality Bread, as well as giant cookies and quiches that are baked in house." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Sometimes you don't just want a single-origin, pour over drip with just the right blend of fruity and chocolatey notes, you deserve one. If you are a fan of coffee done right, without the lines or a price tag, check out Ellipsis. Serving the beloved Counter Culture Coffee roasts, this spot is a perfect get away to enjoy a creamy espresso and relax." - Sidekick Video

"If you work best in an environment where everyone is being very productive (or at least looks like it), try working at Rivers and Roads in Edgewater. This national park-themed cafe is very close to Loyola University (camping lanterns hang from the ceiling and there's a portait of Smokey Bear), which means that it’s common to find students studying, working on group projects, and typing like they're competing in a Hackathon. They have some great bagels from Steingold's, pastries from Publican Quality Bread, as well as giant cookies and quiches that are baked in house." - John Ringor
