PowerHouse SMART®
Cool Cafés

What are Cool Cafés?

Cool Cafés are intentionally small, RSVP-only gatherings where coffee meets connection in a relaxed, approachable setting. Limited to just 2 to 10 attendees, these one-hour meetups are designed to spark authentic conversation and build new relationships in a way that feels natural and unforced—the PowerHouse way.

Each month, the experience moves to a different neighborhood café across the region, from the North Shore and surrounding suburbs to the city of Chicago and Lake Geneva, creating variety while keeping the format simple and consistent. Non-members are welcome to attend up to two events per year as a complimentary guest, offering an easy way to step into the community, meet others, and experience the tone and quality of connection firsthand.
