Cafe Deko Bringing More Caffeine and Vibes to Printers Row (715 S. Dearborn)

Looks like we have a new cafe coming to Printers Row:

The spot will be called Cafe Deko and seems to be a second incarnation of their original location at 800 W Diversey.  Judging from our sleuthing on their website, yelp, and socials it seems like their vibe is a stylish coffee shop with small sandwiches, croissants, and snacks.  So why the vibes -  check out this video from the original location: 
 
 
This definitely seems to be bringing something different to the neighborhood.  Couple the vibes of Cafe Deko with the high ceilings and history of M.A. Donohue & Co. Building it seems like a match made in heaven. 

It's unclear when they're looking to open, but since this is the space vacated by Grail Cafe a couple years back, it seems like it wouldn't require major structural changes.  

If you're really curious on the concept and history, we found this 40 minute youtube video where a local realtor talks to the entrepreneur and owner - George:


Fun stuff - looking forward to having Cafe Deko in the Sloop!
