I run a phone repair business, I got a call from Ian to fix his niece’s cellphone. When I got there, I could immediately sense the vibes. Ian quickly offered to make me something to drink, one of the best iced honey oat latte I’ve had! Throughout my time there while fixing Ella’s phone, they were just so gracious. You can just tell when you meet good people. After the repair, Ian offered me a bag of coffee which I refused to accept but Ian wouldn’t take no for an answer. I made that coffee this morning, I’m very happy I accepted it.

I always like supporting small businesses, but this one especially deserves all the support. Thanks again Ian & Ella.

The staff was very friendly and conversational on the crispy + how the day has been going in general. Very mindful, very cozy.

The ube salted coconut crispy is delicious! Will definitely have to linger around more next time.

Honestly want to gatekeep this place so there's not too much of a line when I go but I feel like more people need to know about this Lil shop.

Coffee? Great coffee all around. I think ive tried something different everytime I've gone and its always been a hit. If you dont know what you want, just ask and they'll make you something you'll like. Sweetness preferences? They'll be cool about it and make sure you like what you get.
Pastries? Awesome. You won't be bummed at anything you try. They've got flavors and combinations that other places don't and they're delicious.
Atmosphere? Amazing. You'd stand in -20° and be unbothered about it just because the service is great. You never feel rushed to order and the conversation is always great.

Amazing 🤩 coffee!! I wish I can go everyday I happen to be in the city once and randomly stopped here, the gentleman was so kind and warm, which is great nowadays, and he had a special touch with my iced Vanilla latte he added a pinch of sea salt..omg amazing! Planning to go back as soon as I get the chance!! Great local coffee in Chicago and great customer service, I forget his name but dude was talking to me like he knew me (easy Convo-loved it) and when he asked if I mind him adding his special touch I was like Go Ahead werk your magic lol glad I did. And not to mention love the grim reaper/skull art!!

Oat milk latte and drip coffee were both great. They don’t charge extra for alternative milks which is always a plus. Super friendly and quick service at this walk up to-go style coffee window. Pastries looked great too but didn’t try this time. Will definitely return.

I stop by whenever I am in the area and have always received quite prompt and friendly service. Granted, I do pop by at odd hours compared to a morning or lunch rush.

This window stall only cafe reminds me a lot of these tiny takeout only places that seem to be more common outside of the US. I have not been a huge fan of their specialty drinks but their espresso classics are always delicious and pastries are almost always quite decadent.

The coffee is very good and staff are very friendly but the wait time is crazy. To be fair it’s usually just one person. The line would move much faster if there was another employee.

This place is everything people say it is. The guy who works there is super friendly and fun to talk with, the coffee is special, and the pastries are great. I haven't eaten my Korean BBQ Danish yet, but the donuts I got have me believing this is now the best donut in Chicago.
Not since the original Do-Rite on Randolph & Dearborn closed and they became a chain has anyone been the best. Donut Vault was close, as were others, but Move Along is special.
Sadly, I ate two donuts, but they're so rich, I should've eaten one. Take a bite, have a sip of coffee, repeat.
The Korean BBQ Danish will be my lunch, but I'm going to need to put it in an air-tight container, because the smell is driving me nuts and I'm already full.
I go by this place regularly, and there is always a line, so expect to wait to get served through the window.
