Coffee, Free WIFI: West Town, Chicago

Looking for a West Town (or West Loop) Chicago cafe with good coffee, available electrical outlets, and free parking? With a nearby doughnut? Start out by dropping your knives off at Northwest Cutlery, walk around the block and hit Publican and then Glazed & Infused, then pick up your knives and head to Morgan-Randolph Starbucks to log on to their Wi-Fi so you can work or study.

Free Wi-Fi in Rogers Park: Logon Chicago, Edition V

Beard-spotting and co-working while sipping coffee in a Rogers Park Starbucks cafe near the intersection of Columbia & Sheridan (just north of the Red Line Loyola stop). Along the way: a shout out to Dr. Who and the Jesuits, as well as an on-going search for a free Wi-Fi log-on and an electrical outlet in Chicago. Plus, some socio-cultural humor and a plug for Bop-N-Grill. Wow, that’s a lot … but I swear to you, it’s all good.

Free Wi-Fi in Uptown Chicago, Pt. 3

Baker & Nosh (Wilson at Malden) has internet access, great coffee, good food, and nice bathrooms. It doesn’t have as many electrical outlets as I wish it did, but I recommend logging on here nonetheless – especially when the patio’s open. The patio’s nicer than anything else you’ll find in Uptown.
