Hands down my favorite coffee spot in the city. Yet to find anywhere else that can match the warmth of the staff and consistent quality of the drinks. Rosemary and her crew are the best baristas around and make this place what it is. Love coffee, love Dark Matter… love Sleepwalk that much more.

I appreciate the availability of a 24oz cup. Not many places do that. Interior of shop was also beautiful !! Got the agave latte. Will be back .

Great atmosphere and even better coffee. I highly recommend getting a chocolate bar w your coffee. If you’re unsure of which, they are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and will guide you in your selection. 10/10 will come back

Perhaps it was just an off day, but the lattes were dull and flavorless, and overpriced for the size :(

Sleep Walk Chocolateria & Cafe is what I would call a true hidden gem especially if you're a devoted chocolate lover. Tucked away like a secret waiting to be discovered, this café welcomes you with the intoxicating aroma of chocolate the second you open the door. The ambiance is cozy, modern, and infused with artisanal charm. Right up front, they proudly display their award-winning chocolate bars, which are all handcrafted on-site. You can literally see the chocolate being made, tempered, molded, and packaged with care which adds an authentic and immersive touch to the whole experience.

I ordered the hot chocolate and an almond croissant, and let me tell you, this combo was pure perfection. The hot chocolate isn’t your typical sugary drink, it’s bold, deep, and unapologetically rich. From the first sip, you’re greeted with a touch of sweetness, but as it coats your palate and moves to the back of your tongue, you’re hit with a powerful wave of true dark chocolate bitterness. It’s intense in the best way, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Only true chocolate aficionados will fully appreciate this layered and complex flavor.

The almond croissant was equally impressive, lightly crisped on the outside, soft and buttery inside, filled with a subtly sweet almond paste, and dusted with powdered sugar. Together, they created a breakfast experience that was comforting yet elevated.

Takeaway? If you love chocolate in its purest, most passionate form, this place is a must. Don’t skip the hot chocolate. It might just ruin all other hot chocolates for you.

This space used to be a bakery and now its a Mexican based chocolate producer and coffee shop. The bright star of sweets in Pilsen its a must visit if you like your chocolate dark and your dreams surreal.

I love this coffee shop for a little sip and bite every once in a while. Yummy coffee + pastries and friendly staff interactions always. Only constructive criticism is a problem seemingly every coffee-shop has: wobbly tables. I come to journal and drink coffee, so if I shift my writing hand from the left side of the spread to the right side, I would love not to threaten my delicious drink! I'll be back :)

I had the suburban iced coffee. It’s supposed to be like vanilla and chocolate but it was just absolutely disgusting. I wanna think the worker just made it wrong since he seemed very confused and moving slowly but idk, I’ll just stay clear going forward. Also the size was so tiny, it was laughable. $5.
