Really great drinks even for none coffee drinkers. The pastries were so yummy as well.

Tasty drinks! It’s in an interesting space — make sure to check out the eccentric vending machine and the weirdly formatted way-finding sign
For you folks who like specialty coffee / third wave coffee, Dayglow is a must-visit. They have a wide variety of different offerings on pour over (they call it “hand brew”), and they know how to treat these beans right, and serve coffee properly. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I would put this up against any café in Chicago for creativity and finesse.

This café actually reminds me of my favorite spot back home in Indy. The coffee is flavorful😋 So good that we ended up getting four coffees on both days we stopped by. We thought the bar where they prep everything has such a cool layout…simple, minimal, but super efficient.

Really tasty coffee but the service abd atmosphere are just ok. Its more of a grab and go spot vs some place you'd want to chill at

I adore this place. One of the few that makes fantastic experimental coffee drinks and high quality espresso shots. I used to go on runs there and back and race myself back to my house. 😆 I will say a few of the drinks are too sweet for me, but mostly, they’re in the upper echelon of fancy Chicago coffee drinks.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but this has been a pattern. Every time I come here, the employees give that Gen Z stare—completely unapproachable and acting like customers are a bother. For what I’m paying for a cup of coffee, a little friendliness isn’t too much to ask. It’s frustrating to get coldness, then be asked for a tip on top of already high prices. Decent coffee, but the vibe needs serious work.
Crappy customer service & watery espresso taste
Loved this minimalistic and spacious coffee shop (in the most random neighborhood but right under a beautiful trail bridge).
They have many unique creations, which was exciting. Maybe Warhol 2.0 was my favorite but a bit heavy, so next time I’ll get Warhol (1.0). Eraserhead was also interesting. The barista was very kind and friendly with us. He seemed to be happy and passionate about his work, which I respect and appreciate.

Alyssa Lynch was very tasty. Would get it again. Good atmosphere for working or talking.
The most exclusive and excellent coffees from roasters around the world. I love coming here to stock up on beans and enjoy perfectly crafted coffees of every kind. Hand brews, Espresso Tonics and Totoro are highlights for me. The staff are always helpful in providing recommendations and information about all things coffee so you can have a great experience.
This location doesn’t exist, which I discovered after walking here.
A stylish coffee spot with an industrial-meets-art space vibe. Their coffee offering is phenomenal, featuring specialty beans from roasters around the world, and I love that you get a complimentary drip coffee with bean purchases (far better than most standard drip offerings). Their Totoro latte is also worth trying, featuring a delightful blend of coconut and sesame for a refreshing and satisfying treat
The cafe is conveniently located right off the 606 trail. The space itself has a minimalist ambience, with plenty of room to spread out and a cool artist loft tucked in the back. A very cool spot to check out for coffee lovers.

coquito was a lot less sweet than expected and mostly tasted like heavy cream with a hint of coconut. moonrise kingdom tasted strange. heavily salted/smokey. i didn’t really taste any bourbon or vanilla flavor. the barista told me they were “out of marshmallow” after we had paid. i don’t mind paying premium for a premium latte but it should be as described on the menu.
