Welcome to our website. If you have not “Bean There, Drunk That,” Chicago’s South Shore hottest café is a MUST visit. Exchange Cafe is one of Chicago’s finest FREE Wi-Fi Internet coffeehouse. It has been almost two years since the Exchange Café started providing a warm nest for students, freelancers, business owners, and surfers. The Exchange café does not only offer FREE Internet access; it also has a nice, warm giant interior space with lots of light, clean, comfortable tables and chairs, with plenty of outlets for laptop and its accessories.

Exchange Cafe house-roasted, cappuccinos, fair-trade coffee (also available wholesale), large selection of teas, pastries, toasted sandwiches, shakes, and wide range of food options, including all day breakfast, make it a cozy place to work, eat, network,and surf. Plus, at the Exchange Cafe we do not care how long you stay. Our very popular Gift-Certificate Card is very handle, especially when one don’t have cash on them. Money can be added to the card at any time with cash, credit or debit card.

At the Exchange-Café, you will find a communal rack of newspapers, magazines, and the latest releases of "you name it" coffee table books. Most coffee table books are just giant books that sit and collect dust on people’s coffee tables. Exchange-Café’s coffee table books are carefully selected with topics on Africa, African-American, Chicago’s Architecture etc.

We are tempted to add a “must have” from the selections on our menu, however, a recent survey of our

customers indicates an inconclusive result among the sandwiches. Our Turkey & Swiss sandwich had a very slim edge. I must warn you that the Turkey & Swiss sandwich is so good that you might order one to go. The price list is very reasonable. You will part with two to four dollars, depending on your order. If only all indulgences cost so little.

The warmness of the café seems to be an extension of its friendly and approachable owner; Mr. Gene Smith. Founded by Gene Smith, Chicago’s Exchange-Cafe coffee is made and roasted with the coffee enthusiast in mind. Exchange-Cafe music selection is low and perfectly balance – interesting but not overpowering. A casual place to spend some time and network or get some work done.

We are living up to the famous coffee slogan “hot, iced, black or with milk, coffee is the life force that makes the world go ’round.”
