Java Cafe recently opened on Madison Ave across from Washington Park. There's tons of seating, nicely decorated (I'm a sucker for exposed brick) and lots to enjoy.

Pet peeve of mine when it feels like you're jut drinking a cup of milk with a splash of coffee. Also had to order a strawberry croissant once I saw it. Fresh slices of strawberry and a layer of cream tucked in a buttery croissant. It was delicious!! read more
