Cafe Descartes - Chicago

I had a fantastic chai latte at this restaurant. The barista informed me that their hours are from 7 am to 12 pm, which is slightly different from their usual sign.

The chai latte at this restaurant is excellent. The barista informed me that their hours are 7 am to 12 pm, which is a slight deviation from their usual posted hours.

The café has a lovely atmosphere, with a cool and quiet ambiance, reasonable prices, and helpful staff.

It was hot out and from lugging my suitcase throughout city of Chicago asi was using public transportation. I was thirsty so I stopped at Cafe Descartes in Midway airport. I asked the 2 women working there if i could have just a small glass of water only to be told it would be $5 AGAIN FOR A GLASS, NOT A BOTTLE OF WATER. THEN..The elderly lady who was after me simply asked for a plastic spoon(she had a yogurt she wanted to eat before she went thru security) they told her of course w/a nasty a attitude they only get a certain amount so they cannot part with ONE(meanwhile they had a tin overflowing with them).. WOW! Loved the older women's response to them once she saw overflowing tin but il refrain from writing it.Great customer service?

Great chai tea latte, yummy muffins, and nice service!
