Welcome to the first edition of Our Favorite Things from the Andersonville Holiday Gift Guide! And since today is the busiest shopping day of the year, what better time to start?
Those in the know have already fallen in love with The Coffee Studio, the sleek and modern coffee shop located at the north end of Andersonville (and totally worth the walk!). Owners Lee and Miguel’s dedication to the art and science of brewing coffee ensure that no matter what you order, you will get a perfect cup every time. Plus with free Wi-Fi and yummy treats from Bleeding Heart Bakery and Bennison’s Bakery, The Coffee Studio is a great place to hang out.
We love “I am not a paper cup”, the reusable, dishwasher safe porcelain mug with silicone lid that is a great alternative to those all-too-common paper versions. At $19.95 this is a great gift for the coffee or tea lover on your list. I know I carry mine every day on my walk to work!
Other items featured from The Coffee Studio are some Christmas Morning Delights and tools to help you find out The Secret to Making Better Coffee.
The Coffee Studio, 5628 N. Clark. 773-271-7881. Hours: Everyday from 6:30 am – 9:00 pm.
Be sure to check out The Coffee Studio along with all of the other great businesses on Andersonville's north side.
In my five years working in Andersonville, there have been quite a few resourceful entrepreneurs who have opening businesses on the northern end of Andersonville. For those of you who only go north of Bryn Mawr to have brunch at M. Henry, there are several businesses who are participating in Andersonville Arts & Home Weekend that you must check out.
After the jump, a look at 5 business who may be ‘off the map’, but are more than worth the walk this coming weekend.

Lots and lots and lots of peaches!
It is hard to believe that we are over 1/3 done with the Farmer’s Market and nearly halfway through with our 20/20 challenge! Oh well, the good news is that there is still plenty of time to pick up yummy produce and to buy more great stuff in Andersonville (and with the Sidewalk Sale coming up next weekend, there will be lots of great stuff all over the place). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the staff recap from week 9.

Week 7 of the 20/20 Challenge saw the second week of the Andersonville Farmer’s Market, and with more vendors bring more goods it was a great evening. And it will only get better in the coming weeks as more yummy fruit and produce starts to roll in. Spending $20 (or more) there certainly isn’t difficult, and spending 20 bucks in Andersonville certainly isn’t too hard either. After the jump read how the staff met their 20/20 challenge last week.

Week 6 of the 20/20 Challenge was marked by the opening of the first ever Andersonville Farmer’s Market, which as you have already read was both wonderful and a little CRAZY! However your faithful staff still took some time to more than spend their 20 bucks in Andersonville, and not just at the market! Our Week 6 round-up is after the jump.
