Cool vibes when I was first invited this location a few weeks ago. Nice ambience. The interior designer did a great job (took pictures, but they're on my company phone). Smooth wifi connection. Clean restrooms. Friendly staff; Lady behind the counter was full of smiles.

Had a tasty Matcha, mocha frappe, bought a Danish and some banana nut oatmeal. Large variety of teas and coffee. Had a tasty kiwi pear ice tea on another day I visited. Safe convenient location that's near one of my offices.

The prices are no different than most coffee shops from my pov. No big deal for me honestly. Esp since I'm aware that Cheap coffee shops, esp around the Loop area, are rare.

Reading some of these comments are interesting. People are entitled to their opinions, but some of the complaints are hilarious and fishy; esp after only 1 visit. I wouldn't be shocked if some are giving low ratings out of jealousy or anger of it being owned by a poc. Im European myself (British) and I could care less. People that are happy in life, travel and meet new people from many cultures, we don't fixate on those type of things

Anyways. Will visit again. Thanks & Good Day!

I live very close to this location so I try to give it a chance everytime, but after 3 times coming here, it’s been a lackluster experience. I am a huge matcha drinker and i love trying different matchas across the city. The hot matcha i got delivered from here this morning was disgusting. It was pure milk and the color was absolutely unbelievably pale. Matcha is not supposed to be almost white. It’s supposed to be a very tree green color. I would suggest the manager here look into getting another kind of matcha altogether or properly training the staff on what matcha is supposed to look and taste like. As soon as I took it out the bag i could tell it wasnt going to taste good because it looked like 90% milk. It was awful i had to throw it in the sink and order another matcha from Stan’s. they knew the assignment. I most likely won’t be coming back here unless this changes because it seems their priority is maybe coffee? Which is fine but most coffee shops these days try to succeed at most popular drinks like matcha, chai , etc. I feel very validated to know a few reviews down someone had the same experience with the matcha here!

Love this place so much! I am in love with the peanut butter hot chocolate and the Royal Frap. I have been two days in a row so far lol

I want to like this place, but the cold brew coffee is so bad. Like, I’ve never had cold brew coffee taste so bad. And all the baked goods are stale and of very low quality, like out of a low-end vending machine supply.

I’ve worked out of coffee shops for a few years now and have yet to have crossed paths with someone as rude as one of their staff members.

Convenient location, poor quality pastries, outrageous prices. Matcha was over $10 after tax and tip. I think that was the first time in my life I had paid over $10 for a cafe drink. Also, bathroom code on receipt with a locked bathroom is very chintzy.

It would be nice if you had a restaurant in the BEVERLY neighborhood Chicago Illinois! 🥰

Everything about this place is bad. Sterile, corporate, soulless. Food is stale and flavorless, coffee is over-roasted, number code on the bathroom PLUS the light turns itself off after only a few seconds, making it clear that they don't want you here. No wifi, no local posters for theatre or a job board or anything that originated from a human being. They just want your money, and don't offer any positive experience in exchange. Worst coffee shop in the neighborhood. Definitely skip.

EDIT: Apparently there is wifi, if you get a receipt. Except I wasn't offered a receipt. Nice little trick there. Does that make you feel good? Getting one over on the customers?

had contact with whitney and she was patient and considerate and offered me a gift card for past my troubles. Very appreciative of them trying to make things right and caring about my experience.

travelled all the way up to this location and even called ahead of time to see if they had a specific menu item in stock but they failed to tell us on the phone they had adjusted hours that werent reflected online…….. would give them 0/0 for wasting our time and money it cost to get up here..

5 Stars. I am not sure what people expect from a neighborhood coffeeshop but it was everything I needed. Coffee is great. Customer service very friendly. I was able to use the bathroom without issue. Coffee is the same price as other places. I am not sure what some of you expect in 2025. I came in for coffee not for a massage and for people to treat me like I'm the owner. Get your coffee, chill for a minute, then move along, that's it. I think some of these negative reviews are sus. Some of these one-star reviewers are perfectly fine in the hole-in-the-wall coffee places (in Uptown, Edgewater, Wicker Park, etc) with dirty tables, cracks in walls, trash/debris on the floors and walls, dank and dark (I won't name names) but would give one star to a clean highly functional place like this place, (smdh).

Their bathroom has a motion sensor activator that is insensitive so you'll be in the dark a few times trying to reactivate the lights. Also, their ceiling has a like bad leak and the floor is covered in water and it's a slip and fall just waiting to happen, but it remains open.
