Big Shoulders Coffee

Big Shoulders may be small, but thanks to its proximity near the Blue Line and 66 bus, owner Tim Coonan says his shop attracts “more commuters looking for a quick exchange than folks who camp out.” This is great news for those of you looking for a respite to get your work on (with that free Wi- Fi) over one of the extremely popular marshmallow lattes made with house-made vanilla bean syrup. If you’re not buzzing enough after that, try one of the amazing pastries from Cheap Tart Bakery pastry chef Dinah Grossman.

Big Shoulders Coffee, 1105 West Chicago Avenue (at Milwaukee Avenue); 312-888-3042.
