With Café by the River, Chef José Andrés reimagines the classic American coffee shop and café with a touch of his signature Spanish flair. In Spain, a café is more than a place to grab a cup of coffee. It’s a hub for conversation, new ideas, and, of course, enjoying a bite to eat. Café by the River takes that ethos and ushers it into the modern era, combining the flavors and hospitality of Spanish cafés with the convenience of an American coffee shop. The café sits on the river walk level of the soaring 55-story The Bank of America Tower, providing office workers with fuel and a side of Chicago River views all day long.
