Coffee Joint

Coffee Joint is Chicago's best kept secret. I'm a little reluctant to share this but it's worthy sharing. Say hi to Gato, he's Latvian Royalty.

Great coffee shop! Love their specialty lattes and good breakfast sandwiches too.

Best drinks! My favorite is the Parisian mist!

Nice selection! Vietnamese coffee and the marshmallow latte are a must. They also sell these cute Chapsticks at the counter that are pretty nice. Staff are friendly and professional. Very much worth your time & tips !

Best coffee, fresh pastries.
I love atmosphere, very comfy.

This place is beautiful! The owners built it themselves and did a really nice job. They have Metropolitan coffee fresh brewed and I had a Basil Mozzarella sandwich for lunch, which was really good too. Adding this place to my Starred Places, will be back again!

I've come here a few times for an iced latte and some computer work on their front outdoor seating area. Great spot and usually an open seat. Wifi

Great coffee and seasonal flavors!

Tried this place out for the first time today after driving by it for months.

The North Center / Lincoln Square area hosts a healthy roster of great coffeeshops and cafes. That said, the Coffee Joint proves to be a great all arounder for the quintessential Chicago café experience. I'll admit that I was a bit unsure after not recognizing their beans from any other local or major roaster but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of their brew.

I ordered the seasonal specials, one maple and one toasted hazelnut latte and while tempted by the socially distant patio set up outside, I took them home for my partner and I to enjoy. After a nice autumn walk, I sat down and tried our selections. Instantly, my partner and I were taken back by the quality of the lattes, and had a tough time deciding who'd get what since it was so good. Now, we both drink a lot of coffee and do everything from the Keruig to Aeopress to Vietnamese brewing, and these were some of the best cups of coffee I've had all year. On top of the quality, the staff were patient and friendly, and the café itself is clean, modern, and still comfortable.

A perfect fit for the neighborhood and a terrific selection to slot into your routine or just if you are driving down Irving Park. No gimmicks or kitschy theme (not that there's anything wrong with those done well) but rather just a high quality establishment. Looking forward to coming back soon and trying the food!

One of my favorite coffee spots!
