Caffè Umbria

Staff sometimes close early. Do not come after 3:30.

Friendly staff. Very helpful in selecting drink, especially if you don't go to coffee houses often. Large interior, yet intimate feel. Last and not least...a chocolate with your brew! Will be back for sure!

A lovely café! High quality of coffee and snacks! The staff is friendly ☺️
I love this place 😍

THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL. Seriously. I have not seen such a beautiful roaster in my life, that enamel paint is gorgeous. The shipping crate setup of the interior is really neat.
Also the coffee is fantastic, very caffeinated. Still prefer Ipsento when I'm in the neighborhood because of the coffee flavors and bean sourcing.

I visited Caffe Umbria as part of Yelp Cafe Week. I took note of it as well as another cafe within a 3-mile radius from my apartment, so I figured why not visit when I had the spare time. During Yelp Cafe Week, Caffé Umbria, offered 50% off any coffee beverage purchase or coffee bean purchase, which I recieved 50% off proudly after checking in.

To my knowledge, your only option for parking is neighborhood parking which really is not bad depending on when you choose to visit. I would imagine that parking can be horrendous at select times and days of the week including with a restaurant like '90 Miles Cuban Cafe' being across the street, but take note of that prior to your visit.

After entering Caffe Umbria my thoughts were, "Wow! This is legit!". I have never been in a cafe more legit as this. With it being a brewery, the inside feels like a coffee factory combined with a cafe, yet the building exterior will make you think that it is a fire department while driving by, hehe.

I visited during morning hours near noon when business just happened to be slow. And post ordering, I kept beating myself up because I did not bring my laptop with me so that I could write inside of my blog, but oh well! It just means that I get to return on a different date, plus try the 'Ciaccolada Calda' that the barista gave me a sample taste of. Describing its taste, I would compare it to a hot chocolate.

I have a one track mind because I had already identified what I wanted to order prior to visiting which was the 'Terra Sana blend' based off of its ingredients. And best believe I was dead set on getting it upon ordering, but the sampling of the 'Ciaccolada Calda' gave me an option to try on a different visit.

I would imagine that this place can get crowded like any other cafe on certain days and at times during the day, so seating is yet another thing to take in consideration, especially if you are just looking to study, get work done or just enjoy coffee with others.

Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Caffe Umbria, the barista was very knowledgeable about coffee entirely as well as the products Caffe Umbria has. I will never look at other cafes the same after visiting Caffe Umbria. From its inner interior to the warm welcome I recieved, I highly recommend this cafe.

Very friendly baristas, great coffee

Unique cafe, great environment to do work at. Their coffee is exceptional and their staff are amazing!

Industrial looking coffee shop, with some interesting machinery as decor. If you like big metal things, like I do, you can sit down and have an espresso and dream you're in the belly of a steampunk beast. This is a working space so no lounging for hours and hours, unless you're comfortable sitting in the straight-backed chairs for that long. The coffee is excellent. Big plus: outlets ON the tables. Just don't spill any liquid on them. Baristas with a nice attitude. Outdoors seating.

This has become my main hangout in Logan Square. I live nearly...within walking distance of my house there are six coffeehouses, all of them top-notch, all of them unique. So, hard to pick just one, but Caffe Umbria is swiftly tipping the balance. Only downside (...and, is it really?) is that on roasting day the noise of millions of beans rushing through tin pipes is practically deafening. Then again...you *are* sitting literally inside a coffee roastery!

Caffe Umbria's beans are unique in the city. Very dark, but not bitter, they make an exceptional cup of deep rich flavor. Even the medium roast is dark. And, oh boy, their cortados are perfect!

Its a great place to hang out, get some work done, meet friends or talk business, or...enjoy a cortado.

Nice place to grab a cup and relax for a bit.
