PRASINO OPENING NEW DOWNTOWN CAFÉ ON WABASH 

Fresh, Mediterranean-inspired café brand expanding its concept as an everyday café and plans to unveil additional concepts across Chicago

Prasino

Prasino, the restaurant brand known for more than 15 years of serving fresh, sustainable cuisine inspired by Greek hospitality, opens its newest location at 33 S. Wabash Avenue in the heart of Chicago’s Loop on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, marking the next chapter in the brand’s evolution as Prasino — your everyday café.

The approximately 3,300-square-foot café introduces a modern all-day destination designed for today’s lifestyle, offering breakfast, lunch, handcrafted coffee, smoothies, Greek yogurt, salads, bowls, wraps and sandwiches in a welcoming, design-forward environment.

The Wabash opening also represents the first step in Prasino’s broader Chicago growth strategy. The company plans to open a neighborhood café at 216 N. Aberdeen St. in the West Loop later this summer, followed by a Riverwalk location on the terrace level overlooking the Chicago River in 2027.

The name Prasino, which means “green” in Greek, continues to reflect the brand’s longstanding commitment to thoughtfully sourced ingredients and wholesome food. The new café concept builds on that heritage while meeting growing consumer demand for convenient, better-for-you dining options available throughout the day.

Tomato and Pesto Flatbread

Guests at the new Wabash location can enjoy:

  • Handcrafted coffee, espresso drinks and specialty beverages

  • Fresh smoothies, matcha and wellness-focused drinks

  • Signature Greek yogurt creations

  • Breakfast sandwiches, bowls and grab-and-go options

  • Mediterranean-inspired salads, grain bowls, wraps and sandwiches

  • Catering, online ordering and convenient takeout

One of the events I went to was an exclusive cocktail reception hosted by the president of @Playerstv - @iammicheleghee, Basketball legend - @Lisaleslie, and @Veronicabeard (51 clothing stores…soon to come Paris opening).

We gathered with an inspiring group of men and women across sports, business, media, and fashion for an evening of meaningful conversation. The reception was designed to bring together women who are passionate about uplifting, empowering, and championing one another while celebrating the growing partnership between PlayersTV, Veronica Beard, and @thebossnetwork. Now that’s what you call 𝑮𝑰𝑹𝑳 𝑷𝑶𝑾𝑬𝑹! 

It didn’t stop there! We were surprised with a performance by Grammy Award winners @Tarreytorae and @J_Ivy. 🎤 👏🏽👏🏽
