Next Door Cafe

When you're at a coffee shop you expect to see a few things: wooden surfaces, the words "cold brew", maybe a hipster or two, but what about a financial coach? At this coffee shop venture by State Farm, you can enjoy brews from the minds behind legendary Chicago café Bowtruss, while asking questions about finances and insurance. We can't guarantee your financial coach will be Jake from State Farm, but all the advice is free and the experts promise to not sell you anything. It's a pretty neat idea that also includes classes on everything from strategic planning for small business to turning that side hustle into a full-time gig and free meeting spaces.
