My home (office) away from home- My Soul Cafe`

If you're anything like me, you have a short attention span and find it difficult to get all of your admin stuff complete if you're working from your home office. Yeah, yeah.. I know what you're thinking: what's the purpose of having a home office if you can't work in it?
Well, in my defense, I'm still remodeling my office/studio and the chaos wears me OUT.
But.. I digress.

If you live on the southeast side of Chicago and you're tired of the treks to the northside for coffeehouses with wifi, great coffee and tasty goodies, look no further than My Soul Cafe. They're located at 7201 S. Exchange.

The owner, Stitch, has an amazing personality and makes you feel very welcome here. Elishevah is also amazing and friendly. The coffee is amazing and the pastries are yummy, as well.
Today, I'm having dark roast coffee with a slice of Bella's Russian poundcake. *pictured below*

I love the decor of this place- Stitch designed the look himself and actually did a great job at making it warm, yet modern.

If you're on that side of town and want something other than chains, definitely give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and had declared to ONLY drink Peet's. That lasted for as long as I lived in L.A. When I got to Chicago, I found out there may only be ONE Peet's Coffee and it's on North Avenue!!! *gasp!*


My friend and fellow makeup artist Krystyn J also had their amazing chocolate cake with a tall glass of ice cold milk. I'm jealous!
