Mindflow Cafe Opens in Downtown Lemont; Open House Set for July 24

Mindflow Cafe is now open for business in downtown .

The entrepreneurial cafe, located at 206 Main St., had a soft opening Monday. A grand opening is planned for July 24

Mindflow is owned and operated by Mindflow Group, a Lemont consulting firm. It is described by manager Keith Nowakowski as an “entrepreneurial cafe" that will provide a space to work, have group meetings and meet new people.

"The community of Lemont has so much to offer. The cafe will be a place for people to come together and connect," Nowakowski said.

The lower level of Mindflow Cafe is filled with tables, booths and couches for people to work and meet. The back area is for members only, while the front is open to the public.

The upstairs includes several offices for rent, as well as conference rooms for group meetings.

Mindflow will provide printers and Internet access, as well as food and beverages by Amazing Edibles Gourmet Catering.

"The space is designed to be flexible and will accommodate the ways people learn and work best," Nowakowski said.

The cafe offers a formal membership, which features curriculum that develops a business plan and includes a monthly accountability group and networking opportunities.

"The informal side of Mindflow is just being part of an energetic, shared workspace," Nowakowski said.

Mindflow Cafe is inspired by similar cafes and offices in Chicago, like Workspring and The COOP. Nowakowski has had his eye on the storefront since .

"The idea of a shared workspace is really popular in the city, but there really aren't places like this in the suburbs," Nowakowski said. "We see this as a great opportunity to bring new people to Lemont."

Mindflow Cafe is open Monday through Friday, 5:45 a.m. to 6 p.m.
