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 😔.

Excellent atmosphere, staff, and coffee! The employees were very friendly and eager to answer my questions about their coffees- I’d highly reccomend this shop to anybody looking for a coffee shop in Chicago!

☕️ This café serves some of the best coffee in Chicago — rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. Every sip is a treat! 😍

The atmosphere is just as impressive — warm, cozy, and beautifully decorated 🪴🖼️. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming 😊, making the whole experience even better. Plus, the music selection was on point 🎶 — relaxing but not too loud, perfect for sipping and chatting.

Whether you’re here to work, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this spot is a must-visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The coffee is really really good but the last two times I’ve gone they’ve given me the wrong order so I might not go anymore!

incredible pulls on the espresso. Staff is great. My only complaint is for some reason I just don’t like their iced coffee and I’ve heard the same from friends, wish they would adjust it somehow

Was in Chicago while my fiancé was having a medical procedure, so while killing time I was looking for a solid espresso shop option and a Reddit post recommended here. It didn’t disappoint! The barista made an excellent suggestion, I had asked them if they recommended anything and to be honest I don’t remember what it was called. 🤣 But it was delicious and made extremely quickly.

Get the ube

Lever espresso is such a specialty, worth the drive. Also what other shop has Gesha for espresso? This place is a gem and you’re lucky to have it near you if you live close by.

Nice cafe
