Café du Mom: A Refined and Elegant Celebration This Mother's Day
For those with a Keen Coffee Curiosity
A Mother’s Day Social Celebration, Not to be Missed is Coming this Spring
Guests will be among the first to sample a curated selection of premium blends from Kikwetu Coffee, a female-owned Chicago roastery, accented by a limited tiered-tower edition of amuse bouche, mini savory sandwiches, petit fours, and patisserie.
Setting the scene, Café du Mom will take place in the Imperial South Suite, constructed exclusively as a changing suite for Queen Elizabeth II during her 1959 visit and later the residence of Elizabeth Taylor, Queen of Old Hollywood, during her 2 month visit to Chicago. Think geometric motifs synonymous with precious gems, pops of gold, soft aesthetic, and panoramic views of the deep blue hues of Lake Michigan to create a plush sanctuary for moms.
Seatings for Café du Mom are available at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm and include 90 minutes of indulgent service. Guests are encouraged to dress in “French girl chic” attire—elegant, effortless, and sophisticated. Pricing is $55 per adult ($78 inclusive) and $35 per child ($50 inclusive).
Reservations can be made via Eventbrite.
