Corvid's Cafe Serves Quintessential Cafe Fare on the South Side

Named after a family of birds that includes the magpie (Magdalena’s nickname), Corvid’s is the quintessential corner café with a cozy interior (fireplace, overstuffed couches, local artwork) and sidewalk seating in the warmer months. On any given day, patrons can find Cindy working on her laptop at one of the tables inside, while Magdalena creates Lego masterpieces in the corner. An apron-clad John delivers pizzas to the cadre of regulars who gather around the hearth, and neighbors file in and out for a quick cup of coffee.
