The vibe of Hatchways Cafe matches the food. Bright and modern, with yellow booths, green plants, and lots of natural light, it’s a place you’d expect to turn out healthy, unfussy meals the second you walk in. And it does, with a chef’s touch. The Victory Park spot is the first coworking cafe in the country to boast its own chef. The restaurant, which is also open to the public, is situated on the first floor of modern coworking space Hatchways and led by chef Keith Cedotal. Tristan Simon, the man behind neighboring Billy Can Can, hatched the idea of marrying coworking with chef-driven cuisine. Why should you have to eat mediocre food while toiling on your laptop?
