Beside the historic Robie House, this serene, atelier-inspired cafe pairs seasonal coffee with European-accented fare.
Description
Taking its name from the French phrase for painting outdoors, Plein Air is a collaboration between Soo Choi and Kevin Heisner on the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus. The coffee counter pulls from a seasonally rotating lineup of artisanal roasters, preparing drip, pour-over, and classic espresso. In the kitchen, a menu created with Art Jackson offers simple, comforting dishes with European-inflected twists served all day, rounding out a setting focused on coffee, food, and design.
