Four Letter Word Coffee

If you are a coffee person who loves the beauty and art of coffee then this is the place for you. This place is a coffee FIRST place, multiple single origin options for your espresso and a menu that tells you they care more about the shots going into your drink than anything else. Excellent vibes and friendly staff.

I had a really disappointing experience here. It took over 20 minutes just to get my coffee, and during that time the staff were laughing about the brewing machine not working instead of addressing the issue or communicating with customers. My drink had to be transferred into a different cup, and despite the delay, they kept serving others while I waited.

For such overpriced coffee, I expect service, organization, and at least some acknowledgment of the hold-up. On top of that, there was nowhere to sit. Overall, no value and no real service. I won’t be returning.

Definitely one of the best coffee shops and coffee quality in Chicago. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best coffee in the area

Please please please get the vanilla pandan latte, it's a cup of therapy for your soul! The vibe is a pretty cool and chill, easy place to relax and read or do some quiet work. Occasionally they'll have this really cool book story open nextdoor which is a great place to sit and sip your coffee

Had to wait more than the usual time to wait for my drink while Saria was too busy talking about her life problems and giving away wrong drinks. At one point she gave away my drink because the person hadn’t ordered hers with flavor. Staff was not attentive while there was a rush. Not like them at all

Absolute best espresso in the city, and maybe the best espresso I’ve ever had, hands down. The baristas are a little on the tired and stressed side, but to be fair, what barista isn’t? If you want a good coffee, maybe even the best you’ll ever have, you HAVE to stop here.

2nd time I’m back, coffee is just too weak, I thought it was watered down so I asked for less milk but that didn’t seem to help 🥲 and then asked for more ube syrup cuz it wasn’t enough, but still left very disappointed 😔.
