Great place for a great coffee.

Really good cappuccino, and the breakfast burrito totally beat my expectations: pulled pork with an amazing (mild) spicy sauce. Friendly baristas and great vibes. Ended up working from a table for about an hour. Glad I stumbled in!

We got their lattes (cardamom, lavender and horchata) and can’t recommend them enough! Not too sweet, perfectly balanced with a lovely espresso flavour.

Our go to spot whenever we’re in town!

The coffee is great, worth the walk! The service and atmosphere are both top notch as well. A joy to come here each morning we were here in Chicago for my niece's wedding!

Favourite coffee while visiting Chicago - Americano actually had some flavour and not too watered down. Preferred this to Fairgrounds on Michigan Ave. Service and staff were also wonderful, very genuine and friendly. Only downside was there's not much seating.

It’s a tiny cafe with a warm and cozy atmosphere. I ordered a macchiato and it was just too sour. The steamed milk on the top looked very dense, which was good although without latte art, but the issue seemed to be the poor ratio between espresso and steamed milk. Even with the strong acidity of coffee, a proper milk-espresso ratio normally subdues the sourness. However, the macchiato at this cafe failed to achieve this, leaving just sourness on my tongue. It was my first visit, but sadly I don’t think I would come back.

Great atmosphere, extremely nice staff, and even better - great coffee. They even warmed my scone which was a nice touch.

And treated me well on a very special day for me - all in all a great place. Highly recommend for a great coffee shop if you’re in the area.

Great spot for good coffee. I enjoyed a nitro which was creamy foamy and delicious. My friend's iced latte was also great.

They serve some pastries if you're hungry and have a few spots for sitting and catching up with a friend or working.
