LIVE CHAT Every Morning with our online "Coffee Klatch" Then meet these people in real life and you will feel like you have known them as your buddies forever. We go out drinking coffee, experiencing the great coffee shops in Chicago; sometimes grabbing a dessert along the way. Let me conclude by saying, WE ARE SOME OF THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE WHO ATTEND MEETUP EVENTS!!! Yes, you will feel included, yes you will be encouraged to join into the conversations... Yes, you will be introduced around....

Cafe Society is not a new idea. In Beethoven's time in Vienna, great minds gathered over coffee, a beverage that only recently had eclipsed tea as the Viennese hot beverage of choice, to discuss all manner of cultural and intellectual concerns, face to face, undistracted. The Stock Exchange of that day was conceptualized and created in a local coffee house. Coffee houses still exist today but Cafe' Society proposes a more social alternate to a computer screen. Discussion, locally produced art an …

We will try each of these coffee shops 1. BRIDGEPORT COFFEE HOUSE The coffee-roasting operation on the corner of Morgan and 31st Street is a point of pride for Bridgeport and a source of jealousy for almost every other neighborhood. Housed in a prototypically warm-toned, wood-heavy coffeehouse (only without the fleabag couches and drum-circle vibe), Bridgeport Coffee sets itself apart by roasting its own beans and brewing them with levels of respect usually reserved for presidents. The pour-ov …

Maybe you're like me, and you're not so much into the bar scene. The Quiet Ones is a group for women who have been to the wild side and back. We're about small, intimate meet-ups where the possibility of friendship isn't drowned out by the DJ. If a trip to the museum, a cup of coffee, or a shopping buddy is what you're looking for, then you've come to the right place!

This is a group under Salvation & Deliverance Ministries that is open to all. Our purpose is to encourage a Christ-centered group where we can grow in love for God, God's Word, His people, His work and one another through reading books that teach such things. We are a fellowship for all who seek a closer relationship with God and others. CTM is a positive alternative for Christians (or anyone interested) to share their faith, fellowship, coffee and tea in good company, with others who are like-m …

We meet every two weeks on alternating Wednesdays and Fridays. Our preferred venue is fun and casual coffee shops.

Having lost my husband to cancer seven years ago, I realise how important it is to get support from other people who have lost a husband or a wife, either because they passed away or through a divorce. I hope to form a close group of men and women who will always find a sympathetic person willing to lend an ear when needed. I intend to organise a variety of meetings such as dinners, cocktails, or just coffee, tea and yummy desserts.

SHOP (and swap) Til You Drop Are you a natural born shopper? Do you like to dress up and do some on the town shopping? Or do you like to dress down, put on some comfy walking shoes, roll up your sleeves and get ready to do battle to get the best goods at the greatest prices? Are you one of the newly emerging who has found the ease of shopping online, being able to scan for treasure trove from the convenience of your own bed while reclining and still in your jammies? Well you can be all three and …

This group is now 2 years old and getting better all the time. The group is small enough we can get to know each other rather than a new group of strangers to play with each week. Our members are fun, interesting smart women of various ages and backgrounds. Rummikub is the most fun you can have at a game table with women. It takes a little strategy, a little luck, and some great friends to play with.  Not terribly hard to learn, but it is a little addictive! We play weekdays, usually Tuesday and …
