Nestled next to the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Robie House on the University of Chicago campus, Plein Air is a French atelier-inspired cafe that changes its roster of artisanal roasters seasonally and serves them via drip, pour-over or espresso. Hyde Park's diverse community of academics, students and neighborhood residents creates one of Chicago's most intellectually energetic cafe atmospheres. The kitchen's full food program makes it a genuine all-day destination on the South Side.
