Chicago Coffee & Tea

Star Lounge Cafe

1. Star Lounge Cafe

4.5 star rating
39 reviews

I am sitting in the Star Lounge reviewing the Star Lounge on Yelp.   Eh.  My iced tea is kind of bitter and not that tasty (even after I dumped what I thought was a ton of sugar in it), but worse is the fact that the  free wifi doesn't work, and I am totally stealing it from somewhere else.  I'll go somewhere else next time I want free internet I think.
