Great little place with great prices. I really enjoy coming here. It is slow pace and nothing fancy but the vibe makes up for it. Much better than the big places.

One poor old woman having to do EVERY SINGLE order that comes through the door. Not sure if she was the owner, worker or a family member of the business but wow-- not a way to run a business. She desperately seemed like she needed help as a line was quick to form, over, and over again. The quality of the drinks suffered because of that. The place lacked cleanliness as well and for that reason alone I will not be returning to this place.

To everyone complaining about the slowness...the woman is in her like, sixties. Have some patience. Be glad she's still here. She's such a nice lady, too! This place is SO calm and SO relaxing, and it doesn't hurt that the drinks are good either. I always come here before I have big important adult stuff to do, or when I need to take it easy. Can't recommend this place enough :)

One of the cutest and most delicious corner shops in Lincoln Square! If you’re spending your money at chain corporate shops, you’re missing out.I’m a big fan of (caramel) lattes, mochas and chais, and this place HITS all those mark. Quite tasty and much more affordable as well.The drink and food menus are extensive, and the cheese pastry was bomb!The vibes are super cozy, and I can definitely be there for hours.Yay small businesses! Bless this place with love :)

It's family owned. When I came in a sweet old lady was running things. It felts like I stepped into a cozy home. I love supporting small businesses so I will definitely come again.I got their seasonal hot cider and a delicious muffin. ( i recommend the cookie and creme) I didn't even have to ask the lady to warm it up, but she served it warm like I like it.Sorry no Pic. I usually don't take pics of food before I eat.

the coffee is fine, atmosphere cozy, and the woman behind the counter was friendly enough! i sat outside because they didn’t have the air on (in august!) but i’m sure in the winter it’s nice.

Perfect atmosphere for focusing on work or reading a book. The menu is extensive. I got a pomegranate iced tea and a turkey sandwich and both were as expected -- good! They were really slow the afternoon I came in, and the owner behind the counter politely asked if I was okay with them closing early. I told her, of course, I was only planning on staying a couple hours. Cute place, I'll be back!

Wonderful, small, cozy coffee shop and cafe owned by a very kind Vietnamese couple. It felt like spending a quiet, cozy afternoon at a kind aunt and uncle's house. Decor is very quaint and antique. coffee was wonderful, especially just a solo espresso shot. Whenever I'm back in the neighborhood I hope to stop by! Please give them a visit! Please note, the service is not Starbucks fast, nor should it be expected to be. It is a small, independently ran shop. it is a place to sit and relax more than a fast-food, fast-paced type coffee joint like starbucks or even La Colombe. Expect old school vibes and Vietnamese coffee.

Great prices, variety of options, wonderful atmosphere. WiFi, printer, and board games. Highly recommend!

I’ve tried it a few times in hopes of it being better, but this is pretty subpar coffee

I’ve tried to go to this place twice now around 3pm on Thursday and it’s been closed, even though the sign says it’s open til 6pm.
