Very interesting place and the name is a smart play of words considering it is located at the Divinity School. Such a classic University of Chicago thing to do. Besides the clear elitaire naming of this basement coffee shop, Grounds of Being is proof that sophisticated coffee culture is still alive in Starbucks-ridden North America.
Only the best: the coffee, the root beer, and the friendliness of the staff. Since the cafe is located in the school of divinity, it is no wonder that food tastes divine there. Ideal location for anyone who seeks a quick out-of-body spiritual experience in the 15 min break within lectures.

It's located in the basement of Swift, so it is also rather dark. Honestly, the vibe makes me feel like I'm in a wood laden tavern in Europe... which I love. However, the darkness is not conducive for my studying; so, I usually grab a coffee and bounce.LOCATION:When you walk into...read full review
