My neighborhood coffee shop. Cool vibe, great tasting espresso (with no bitterness), friendly staff, and tasty pastries (sweet and savory).
Wheelchair accessibility: Step going into shop.

Great coffee 👌🏻
Dive coffee shop - popped in while in the area for a coffee and I love it. I enjoyed the Turkish pistachio latte, which I found very unique. The interior was moody and eclectic. I liked it the local vibe and dive shop experience, but it was a little dark towards the back. Felt like they were in the middle of moving things around - but that's part of the dive charm. Especially in comparison to the busy area down the street, which is mostly upper middle class boutiques (lulu, jcrew, etc)
Really felt like a local spot with support for local arts and people chatting with the baristas and other patrons seemed to know each other.
I would definitely check it out if in the area!

Decent coffee shop. Can’t speak to the food only got a vanilla iced coffee which was good. they had 1 big table in the front and a smaller round in the back that could fit 3 people and a bunch of small 2 people tables which was nice. The baristas were also nice. Plenty of outlets. Got there on a Sunday morning around 10:15 and it’s was super busy then but got filled up quick.
Parking: There is paid parking right up front which is harder to get but down the neighborhood streets it free until 6pm

good dog
Delicious beverages and a welcoming atmosphere. The barista working when I went tonight was extremely kind, and the other staff have been similarly inviting, so I thought I should leave a few nice words.

The coconut mocha (Cosette) is SO GOOD. Great place for dark roasts. Very quirky atmosphere which I absolutely love- definitely adding this to my heavy rotation place. Might not be everybody’s cup of coffee, but it was mine!!
Nice coffee cafe that transitions into doing cocktails later in the day. Atmosphere was nice with some good art on walls and other eclectic decor.
Beans are roasted in house and the coffee was solid.

Quite nice in here, a well-articulated beverage selection with a few food options as well. Service is reasonably quick and was fine on my visit.
I recently visited this coffee shop and was immediately drawn in by its cute, unique exterior and welcoming vibe. The space is beautifully designed, with art and decor that make it feel warm and homie.
The atmosphere inside didn’t disappoint—it was cozy and inviting, a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. The service was fantastic; the staff were friendly, quick, and clearly knowledgeable about their offerings.
I ordered a coffee, which was awesome and perfectly made, along with a scone that was equally delightful. The menu offered a good variety without feeling overwhelming, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared.
The prices were reasonable, especially considering the location, and I felt like I got great value for the quality and experience. The shop was also clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to spend time.
I would definitely recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee in a welcoming environment. It’s a little gem that’s worth a visit!

It’s a weekend treat for us to come here every once in a while! Lovely neighborhood cafe offering high-quality coffee and small snacks. I think they roast their own beans too- smells fantastic whenever I happen to pass by. They also have a small outdoor sitting area where you can hang out with your furry friend when the weather is nice :)

I have been searching the city of Chicago for a good strawberry matcha and whoever made my drink yesterday did it. Thank you so much. It meant everything to me

The baristas are the cutest and the coolest. The cortado they made me was top notch and the pastries were warm and just right. With too I spent $10--a welcome reprieve in pricing from most of the rest of Chicago. The space is laid out so that traffic from the bar to the door gets a little crossed when busy, but an otherwise PERFECT cafe. I will be back... It might be my new local fave.

Usually is pretty consistent, but there's a new barista there on Monday + Friday mornings that keeps making my lattes with burnt, bitter espresso and lattes are coming out WAY too dark. I want to be polite because I love this place but I gotta take a break if the quality has plummeted for a $6 latte. Just wanted y'all to know!
Neat clean place. Bad tasting bitter espresso. No cream or sugar was out.
