Plein Air Cafe & Eatery

About

Plein Air Cafe & Eatery is an all-day cafe at 5751 S. Woodlawn Ave. in Hyde Park, beside the University of Chicago campus bookstore. The kitchen serves breakfast in the morning, then salads, sandwiches, baguettes, tartines and grain bowls into the evening, with soft serve, affogato and wine by the glass. The airy room runs closer to a restaurant than a coffee counter, with tables that turn over through lunch and dinner.
