Chicago’s historic Fine Arts Building and Groundswell Coffee Roasters are excited to announce the opening of a new Groundswell Coffee cafe at the Fine Arts Building in August 2025, located in the storefront at 410 S. Michigan Avenue adjacent to the former Artists Cafe space. The new Groundswell Coffee location will be open Monday-Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, serving the thousands of artists and visitors who frequent the Fine Arts Building each week, including Studebaker Theater audiences and the surrounding downtown community.

The cafe will offer an exclusive Groundswell x Fine Arts Building coffee roast, along with other locally roasted and intentionally sourced coffees and expertly prepared coffee beverages from skilled baristas. Additional menu items include breakfast burritos and all-day sandwiches, and an assortment of fresh, locally baked pastries from a partner bakery.
