It would help if it didn’t stink in there too.

Sometimes people like to take their guests from out of town visit one of these uber cool, unique local indie establishments but you can’t even find a place to sit for 5 minutes and enjoy your ice cream because the locals have all their sh*t spread out all over the tables for hours while making googly eyes at each other. No different than the bums people complain about living at a McDonalds.

I really wish these businesses would jump off that free wifi wagon and stick to their core business. It really reeks of desperation. You’re probably turning away more business than you think you’re gaining from it.

Nice plug though Betsy. Opportunists everywhere I guess.

Good one. What will you call it when they change their name from Caribou to Peet’s?

That’s so true! If you say “the gay Starbucks”, it’s amazing how many understand it’s the one on Clark/Berwyn. And if you say “the gay Caribou” it’s amazing how many understand it’s the one on Broadway north of Belmont.

everyone should try out George’s Ice Cream and Sweets! It’s just a couple doors down. They serve Illy coffee and have wifi. Super great place to study/work.!

Ugh….now where am I going to camp out and cruise aggressively while pretending to work/study?

might i recommend Urban Orchard? They brew local coffee, Metropolis and Dark Matter. I prefer the Metropolis. The staff is not snotty and slow like at Coffee Studio, the wifi is free unlimited, unlike Coffee studio, and the atmosphere is less cruisy that starbucks. Try them. Good prices, and they have Belly points that get your good rewards. I have been going there since they opened and the sitting area is usually fairly empty!
