With the new year in full swing, people are looking for new things and places to discover. Edie’s All Day Café & Bar (Edie’s) is an upscale, fast-casual café and bar, catering to individuals on-the-go, remote workers and professionals looking for a community space to work, relax and gather from breakfast through dinner.

The first Edie’s All-Day Café & Bar, located in the Wells corridor of Chicago’s River North neighborhood (675 N. Wells), opened during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020 and has been thriving – catering to individuals on-the-go, and remote workers and professionals looking for a community space to work, relax and gather from breakfast through dinner. Founded by hospitality veterans Matt Matros, Chris Dunsatter, and Arturo Gomez, Edie’s was the first to lead Chicago’s “third place” – designated space between work and home – a new wave in hospitality deeming itself as a perfect blend of café, restaurant, workspace, and wine bar.

“We wanted to create something new with Edie’s where people could come meet, work, create and also enjoy what we believe is great food and beverage options throughout the day and into the evening,” says Edie’s co-founder, Arturo Gomez. “The idea that you could get an amazing cup of coffee, enjoy some great food options and end the day with a glass of wine was a perfect combination in my opinion. The community response over the last two years has been tremendous, and we are excited to have the opportunity to expand the concept into another amazing pocket of the River North neighborhood.”

“With the expanded kitchen in the Hubbard Street location, we are able to execute elevated breakfast and dinner options, like the pancakes, waffles, steak frites, and pasta, as well as provide more catering and private event offerings,” says Chef Salas.

“Having worked in the River North area for nearly 15 years, and alongside Arturo at other neighborhood restaurants, we have developed a keen eye for what River North professionals and food lovers expect, and I’m excited to continue to expand Edie’s food offerings at both River North locations, and others, as the brand continues to grow.”

Edie’s West Hubbard Street Location is open seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with breakfast being served from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., lunch, and cravings available starting at 11:00 a.m. and dinner entrees being served from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. To view Edie’s food and beverage menus and learn more about the café’s catering and private event programs, and more, please visit www.ediescafebar.com.
