I've been working at coLab South (Main and Chicago) since 2013 and highly recommend it. This office is near the Metra, the el and plenty of coffee shops and restaurants; also, paid and free parking options are plentiful. The owner, Miguel, is constantly upgrading and improving coLab, and the space is welcoming and large. You can choose to work at a desk or a shared long table, and there's plenty of room for you to work comfortably with a laptop, a meal and your files/personal items. There's wifi, a printer, two conference rooms, two kitchens with coffee and two sets of restrooms. Plus, you get to work alongside other freelancers or small business owners, so there's an opportunity for friendly conversation and networking. You can also catch up with other members at one of the regular happy hours that Miguel hosts. Come and try it out for free for a day; I bet you'll love it!
