Caribou Coffee - Vernon Hills

After that car accident getting resolved, we had some coffee (and a strawberry-banana smoothie) at Caribou Coffee in Vernon Hills.  I wrote a message on the chalkboard there!

Caribou #5 for Ollie!

Can you see my message?  Just look below

Caribou Coffee - Arlington Heights

At this Caribou, my owner finished his book The Wind Through the Keyhole.


Caribou #4 for Ollie!

Meg's Daily Grind - Perryville

Meg's Daily Grind is a cafe in Rockford.  From the sleeve on the coffee cup we got, it looks like there are multiple locations.  The one we went to was on Perryville Road.

The atmosphere was nice, there was a fireplace (though, not lit) and some comfortable chairs, as well as tables.  All my owner did was read today, though - Alias Grace as has been usual, recently.

Although we started at the table...

...we decided to sit in the chair.

Caribou Coffee - Libertyville

I like Caribou Coffee shops.  This one is in Libertyville, right next to the train stop.  Which is interesting because the one in Northbrook and the one in Glenview are both quite close to train stops too.

Caribou #3 for Ollie!

Library - Schaumburg, IL

I made it to the Schaumburg Township District Library in Schaumburg, IL

That's quite an elevator! 

TP likes #2! 

This is the reading room - my owner has read here a number of times, he tells me (he didn't on this occasion)

Caribou Coffee, Glenview

So... apparently there are many different places to get coffee?  This one is called Caribou - in Glenview, IL (not far from the Starbucks I was at, also in Glenview).  I liked it here as well.
