I have been making the rounds on Chicago cafes and trying coffee in different neighborhoods. Plein Air was on my list, having starred in the Reddit list I have mentioned previously.
If you want a “third wave” spot to drink coffee in a beautiful outside space next to a Frank Lloyd Wright building, Plein Air is the spot.
They did offer pourovers, but the barista was so incredibly busy there was no way they could have done a good job. They also had what seemed like one barista, since a lot of their business was actually in brunch food. The indoor seating was a surprise and the outdoor seating was nice.
I thought the coffee was fine. It wasn't bad coffee, but it wasn't coffee I would return for. It certainly had no memorable attributes and at $4, it was way overpriced.
