Here at Serai Café, we're keeping a real old tradition alive right here in Lincoln Park, Chicago. See, our whole concept is inspired by the ancient caravanserais—those super welcoming rest stops they had way back on the Silk Road. Those places were always buzzing with talk, business, and folks swapping stories. More than just a place to grab a bite, they were a community hub.
We're bringing that same great, honest hospitality to our modern Lincoln Park cafeteria.
Whether you're a remote worker needing some solid Wi-Fi near the Loop, a local student from DePaul University needing a study break, or just a neighbor looking to pop in for a real good cup of coffee and a casual sandwich, Serai is your spot. We've got a comfy and modern gathering space designed for folks to pause, connect, and get some nourishment—a modern-day community cafeteria for everyone.
