Staff are consistently rude but the coffee is good

May have found a new top 5 iced matcha latte! You can pick your own milk, I went oat milk and sweetened with vanilla - love it!

One of the worst experiences I ever had in a coffee shop as a paying customer. I walked into this establishment and was the only person of color in the entire building.
I then went to the register waiting behind someone. Once it was my turn in line no one greeted or acknowledged me. I stood there waiting patiently as the staff helped others and never acknowledged me. I then walked out disappointed by the discrimination and blatant racism. I kept my dignity intact. I don’t recommend this spot for POC maybe another location is not like this but this was just my experience.

Terrific baristas here. Always on top of things. They will even memorize your order. Thank you for great service.

Visiting for the weekend and found this gem while looking through other reviews. Iced espresso tonic was amazing, with the walnut coffee cake to match. Service was even better. Smiles, conversation, and a happy vibe. I'll be back when in town again.

Good drinks but unfortunately it's ran by people who aren't all there and will make your order wrong and when you mention it they giggle and run off instead of making sure it's what you ordered so for that I can't say I'd want to come back.

Great place to stop for breakfast. Food is fresh and the coffee is to die for… Definitely recommend it.

Rude male batista. Tossed my lid and didn't apologize. The female batista was friendly
I even tipped on both purchases.

Poor customer service, don’t bother

Breakfast sausage sandwich is okay, but not that special.

Coffee was mediocre, but even worse is that it was pour your own for just regular black coffee and yet the min suggested tip is 18%. Absolutely ridiculous.

Delicious coffee + breakfast burrito but a bit on the pricey end. Cozy atmosphere. We sat by the bar window because all the table seats were taken up, and it was nice to people watch while we ate.

Favorite Chicago coffee. Bold flavors, strong and I love the aroma from the cold brew especially. Your salted caramel is a gem.
