Cafe Ciao, 939 W Madison St, is a neighborhood cafe that strives to bring the community together with events such as wine tastings and dance night.
Owner Julie Chung says, “The West Loop still isn’t quite the destination spot that Wicker Park or Bucktown might be, but it’s still slowly getting there. We’re getting a little bit more retail, a lot of residential build-up, but still the retail is slowly building. Hopefully in the next couple of years it will grow even more.”
