There's a Delorean parked inside of this hip, 80's themed coffee shop. While the decor is fun, the coffee is serious! Lattes made with house made syrups, good pastries on deck.

Sightseeing
The second tallest building with an amazing view up and down the lakefront. Skip the deck view and head to the Signature Lounge instead, where for the price of a beer you get the same view, plus that beer! Insider tip: if the line is too long, duck in the bathroom for a pit stop and honestly- a really great view (for free!)
