Being in Argyle, Uptown to pick up some food, I was told to come back in 30 minutes. A warm drink on a slightly chilly fall day didn’t sound like a bad idea, and a coffee shop was just one block away. My first impression was of its vintage décor and the many young customers reading their physical books. A friendly young staff member in a mustard-colored shirt kindly recommended me a nice warm drink. Sitting down and enjoying my first sip brought a wave of emotion — it felt like being in an oasis where everything moved in slow motion. People were sipping coffee, enjoying books, or chatting with their ”physical” friends. It was simply an unforgettable moment. Thank you, “First Sip”, for a wonderful afternoon. Fall feels slower — and somehow more enjoyable. My first visit will definitely not be my last.

Vibes? Immaculate and pristine just like their hanging teacups. Drinks? I ordered the golden coffee with turmeric, ginger, and honey and have never felt healthier in my entire life. Service? Feel like drinks were made faster in years prior; the baristas were super friendly tho. They have amazing merch too. Big fan of their new panda tarot card t-shirt.

Wow!! I loved this place. The food is delicious and the drinks are great. It gives coffee shop but slightly elevated! You can get anything from coffee, soda, tea, and even alcohol!! Also Bailey served me and she was great!! Super friendly and had really helpful suggestions. Overall I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. :)

The golden milk is to die for. And the Philly cheese steak empanada was cheesy and delicious. I can’t wait to come back.

This is my first time here, and I loved it! I was searching for a cozy spot to study or work with good coffee, and this place exceeded my expectations. The interior is super cute, and the coffee was fantastic—though the banana bread could be better. I really enjoyed the vibes, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!
Their toasted coconut latte is so good, I think about it almost every day.

We were in Chicago for a week for a work and personal trip. This coffee shop was a 4 minute walk from where we stayed. So I decided to try it. I got the iced pistachio mint latte. And it's delicious. Definitely a cool little spot with a unique menu for coffee.

$9.15 for the sesame Vietnamese coffee and I ended up pouring it out, it wasn’t even drinkable. It was thick, didn’t taste like coffee, way too sweet and it was so gritty - it felt like I was drinking sandpaper. I wouldn’t mind paying $9 if it was at least yummy to drink, but golly what a disappointment for a spot I was so excited to try out, ugh so annoying
