Rumored to be an old tram repair shop, Stowaway is situated in a bright, retro-mod designed space in the River North neighborhood. The spacious cafe is denoted by its custom built wood furniture by local craftsman Nick Shigouri, who sources all his material from city projects. Behind the counter, you’ll find a mural from Strange Dirt, a local design and print shop.
