PHOTOS: Mindflow Cafe Offers Shared Workspace for Local Professionals

Mindflow Cafe, the entrepreneurial cafe that recently opened in downtown , held an open house Tuesday to show off its workspace and meeting room options.

The cafe, located at 206 Main St., is owned and operated by Mindflow Group, a Lemont consulting firm. It is described by manager Keith Nowakowski as an “entrepreneurial cafe" that provides a space to work, have group meetings and meet new people.

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 provides printers and Internet access, as well as food and beverages by Amazing Edibles Gourmet Catering. Menu items include bagels, muffins, cookies, sandwiches, wraps, salads, snacks, coffee and espresso.

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.
