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.

Excellent choices of beans from all over the world. Very unique and interesting cold craft drinks, too! I tried the Tanzania from Manhattan. It was brewed perfectly with the small wave dripper. My wife tried Totoro and it was surprisingly good, too!!!
Some of the best coffee in Chicago. If you are into high end espresso or pourover, this is a must visit place.

Very pretentious, which I could have lived with if the coffee wasn't so bad. I ordered a coffee with oatmilk and then proceeded to watch them fill an entire cup with said oatmilk and add a single shot of expresso. For $11? On top of it all, either the coffee or the milk (maybe the two together?) had a very off-putting flavor.

Cute cafe. Unfortunately matcha is not mixed well, wouldn’t order again
