# Social Coffee Houses Caffe Streets in Chicago Takes Its Coffee and Relationships Seriously By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-06-05 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffe-streets References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Caffe-Streets/178865638804677) & [caffestreets](http://caffestreets.com/) Located in Chicago, Caffe Streets is a coffee house that emphasizes social relationships in two respects. One is the atmosphere itself: it's supposed to be fun and coming together of sorts -- and not just one of those cafes where you come in and order your drink to go and leave. (But if you do, that's okay. They're trying to cultivate a feeling more than anything else). The second social relationship is on the part of the roasters and growers. " By working with a variety of coffee producers, our roasters aim to foster a community of hope and opportunity among them," the team writes on their 'about us' page. **Contact Information** Caffe Streets [website](http://caffestreets.com/) Caffe Streets on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Caffe-Streets/178865638804677) Caffe Streets on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/caffestreets) Caffe Streets on [Instagram](http://instagram.com/caffestreets) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Relationships in Coffee Houses:** Opportunity for coffee houses to create a community-driven atmosphere and emphasize social relationships with customers and coffee producers. - **Coffee House Atmosphere Cultivation:** Opportunity to design coffee houses that prioritize creating a fun and social atmosphere for customers. - **Community-focused Coffee Roasting:** Opportunity for coffee roasters to foster a community of hope and opportunity among coffee producers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for coffee houses to differentiate themselves by prioritizing social relationships and cultivating a unique atmosphere. - **Restaurant:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for restaurants to incorporate community-focused elements and social relationships into their coffee offerings. - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for coffee industry to highlight the importance of community and social relationships in the sourcing and roasting process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Networking Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internet-social-caf.md) - [Toronto-Based Arabic Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hailed-coffee-1.md) - [Daytime Coffee Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coffee-party.md) - [Refined Culturally-Immersive Coffee Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacha-coffee.md) - [Spirit-Infused Coffee Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialty-coffee-brand.md) - [Indulgent Italian Coffee Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oretta-caffe.md) - [Coffee Shop Video Calls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-video-calls.md) - [Dual-Function Retail Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-coffee.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Coffeehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-perk-coffee-co.md)
