Colectivo is a great place if you would like good, independently-owned coffee. This location is right on the lake and is great in summertime (before or after paddleboats or the Art Museum) but there are closer locations on Prospect or Humboldt Ave.

Great Cuban tapas place if you're looking to break out of traditional American food that mostly dominates the area! Note: you order at the bar, so this isn't necessarily the best spot if you're looking for a full-service, sit-down meal.
