We couldn't find much on the Internet specific to this spot, but maybe it could be associated with this TLC cafe in Glenview? We doubt it...
Anyone have additional background on this spot?

TLC Cafe Coming to Wabash Just North of Congress
With construction for Roosevelt University's "Vertical Campus" now under way, a smart business person might see this as an opportunity to cater to these potential students. That's why it was pleasant and unsurprising when we saw a sign in the window for a new cafe at the old Gina's Cuisine Restaurant (424 S. Wabash) across the street on Wabash . It looks like it's going to be called TLC Cafe according to the sign in the window:
I hope they do well, but that is a pretty shady block. I think they would have done better in one of the old Gourmand space in Printers Row. But I'm guessing the price per square foot was more affordable there.
ReplyDeleteI hope they replace that awning. I always give it about 2 feet of clearance when I walk by because I don't want to be the one under it when it falls down!
ReplyDeleteRe: anon, what exactly do you find shady about that block? Aside from some parking lots used by CNA Insurance and university employees, the block is home to Dairy Queen, a nice youth hostel, Cafecito, Roosevelt University, and the Auditorium Theatre.
Shady? Lol, no. I never saw any of these so called "shady" folks in Sams. I'm sure TJs will do exceptionally well here.
ReplyDeleteSorry, wrong post.
ReplyDeleteI also saw on my way to work today it appears a church is going in next to this TLC Cafe in the old book store. Adding two new places in better then two empty places!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I misread the address, I thought it was 400 S. Wells... My bad.
ReplyDeleteSorry, i totally misread the address, and the image looked similar to one of the store fronts in the 400 s. Clark block... By the pawn shop, and Coco's.
ReplyDeleteIn related news, there appears to be a new fast food place named Flavor 180 in the 1500 block of S State St. Anyone know any details?
ReplyDeleteHappy to report the sagging awning at Gina's is GONE! Walked by yesterday and it has been removed.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the new owners/renters/neighbors!
Pretty much against any business that uses the (made up) word: "paninis." Panini is already plural.

ReplyDeleteI'm a regular customer at the TLC Cafe. I work right across the street at Roosevelt University. The TLC Cafe is pretty nice...they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast sandwiches, omelets, pankcakes for breakfast, sandwiches, soups and main courses like chicken, turkey, meat loaf for lunch and dinner. Reasonably priced and the food is good. Check it out...it looks like it's doing good business.
