I have been like 5 times and twice the drinks I have gotten have tasted horrible. I brought it back once but honestly just decided I wouldn’t go there anymore. Now I go to the Perkalator and their ambiance is better too

There’s ample indoor seating (high tops, low tops, couches), along with an outdoor patio, and even a conference room to work in. The staff is really attentive to detail when it comes to anticipating guests’ needs. They work with a sense of urgency too.

This location offers a delightful selection of food and drinks. However, if you're looking for a quiet place to start your day, it might not be the best choice. The music is quite loud, and the staff were unable to accommodate requests to lower the volume. As we strive to support local businesses, I regrettably found that my experience did not meet my expectations.

Great ice coffee and so glad they have a printing station there! Able to enjoy good coffee and get things done at the same time!

Drip coffee was fresh and great flavor. Scone was a little too doughy. Nice spot right across from Portage Park. Music was a little loud inside.

No reason this shouldn’t be your local coffee spot and feel kinda embarrassed I passed this coffee shop so many times to drive to a branded one instead. Try it, you won’t regret it

This place was so yummy. Fantastic flavors, would definitely recommend almond latte or whatever it is. Also the croissant cinnamon roll was amazingggg (to me, my bf wasn't a fan). The frappes are good but obviously just a powder mix

Coffee is as alright but the pastries are horrible! Was sold an old croissant from like 2 days ago! Very disappointing and won’t be back for sure! It also costs $6.50 a croissant!

Place to go if you like spending 8-10 bucks on a latte. Place doesn’t suck, it’s just not worth that much for a coffee.

Have loved their cold brew every time I visit. I wasn't expecting the matcha to already be sweetened so just a fair warning! The staff is very welcoming and their space is always clean. :)

Nice little coffee shop, with pleasant employees when I was there. They had lots of drink options, but I got a plain hot latte, which was decent, which they were happy to bake in my own cup. I also had a tasty donut. The pastry case was pretty empty when I was there, but it was after noon. Nice area inside, and there were plenty of people there. They also had a nice outdoor area, and it was just warm enough for me to sit outside. I could’ve stayed another hour, comfortably engrossed in my book, but I had an appointment!

One of my hobbies is trying different coffee shops. I was thrilled when I found out they serve pumpkin flavor, IN APRIL. I haven't seen that before. Loved it.
