Make this a weekday daytime break: Paper Skyscraper’s Uptown branch currently opens Monday–Friday, 10–4. The short route mixes a tucked-away drink stop, independent gift browsing, public art and a cookie for later.
Try these cafes on separate visits to discover your usual morning stop or meeting place. The collection covers several Uptown wards, so choose the branch closest to your day rather than making a caffeine marathon. Confirm weekend hours.
