Sheldrick Holmes and Steven Cook met in 2001 and acknowledged a shared dream of one day owning a cafe. The Grail Cafe cultivates from many different seeds that have been planted throughout our lives while residing, working, and learning in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago. We have a love of food, a passion for service and a desire to connect with our community. Harvesting these ingredients, The Grail Cafe offers an experience where goodness can be found.
It gives me great pleasure to contribute to the community with the best coffee in town and a place to build relationships.
