Since its opening in the summer of 2009, Robust Coffee Lounge has been a popular spot for University students and community members alike. With industrial-styled decor and an expansive menu, there’s more to this lounge than just coffee. Located at the corner of Woodlawn and 63rd, Robust sits in the heart of the Woodlawn neighborhood. Its proximity to the University, coupled with the steady stream of students that occupy its space, serves as a reminder of the University’s influence on the surrounding neighborhoods, and vice versa.
Many have noted that this establishment brings in good business to the Woodlawn community. A welcomed point of integration between the Hyde Park and Woodlawn neighborhoods, Robust might just inspire you to look around.
