They have pastries from Bennison’s, which is a huge plus.
Great coffee shop. Love the local art on the walls. Get the draft oat milk latte!
Really great savory/sweet pastry selection as well as coffee!
This. Is. The. Spot. The coffee joint none of the locals want to share. Great coffee (they'll grind it fresh for you), wonderful atmosphere, plenty of seating. An Edgewater institution, perfect for a late-morning latte, or to grab a tall before hopping on the Drive for downtown.
Good coffee got this place 3 stars. I enter the coffee shop and went at the counter started ordering, cashier was wearing a mask which was making him/her inaudible, not only once but I wasn’t able to hear her 5 times in an approximately3 min conversation which was slightly irritating. Secondly his/her standing position was absurd, leaning on the counter top with elbow support. And she didn’t even greet me nor she smiled at me once, i got the feeling of an arrogant owner. Coming from laguna beach, CA. Service here in chicago sucks. I ordered a croissant and a coffee usually croissants are warm, they’re kept warm. My croissant was cold and they didn’t even warm it up and served without napkins. Thirdly: the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is not clean there is alot of dust on the tables and chairs. Lots of garbage on the ground near the outdoor seating area. I know i might sound like a lunatic here, but laguna beach has best patios and outdoor seatings, I understand chicago is cold. But today was 65-70 degrees F. Which was quite warm, the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. This last point might be irrelevant or they’re just to careless about their outdoor seating. I don’t if people in chicago like to sit outdoors in summers, but summers deserve outdoor seating. If the keep it clean whoever wants to sit will sit. It’s hard to be perfect, but it never hurts to try. I liked the coffee tho, but the croissant, service and outdoor seating sucked. Let’s have a look at their restrooms. Okay the restroom is clean and tidy, but the lock wasn’t working. Inside ambiance is amazing. I like it. I got videos of everything you guys can check it out. I also got the standing position of the cashier.
I adore this place!! Their drinks are amazing, they source some of THE most delicious baked goods, and the specials are so cute!
Great herbal teas, and a spacious place for working
Too Busy, but nice and cozy.
Excellent friendly staff and delicious coffee
one of my favorite coffee shops! i get a different latte every time i visit and it is always lovely. (side note happy hour is 3-5 monday-thursday)
Favorite coffee shop in Roger’s Park. Friendly staff and great coffee!
Mediocre coffee, tried just black coffee to see what it taste like and it was not great. I would recommend a good truckstop like Pilot/Flying J to be honest. Flavored coffee was OK with milk and sugar.
Fantastic coffee, great local food options, and a welcoming space keep my family coming back!
I loved this coffee shop but after today, all of it changed. I cannot believe after I corrected the staff about the spelling of the coffee region they are selling, they just dared to teach a Colombian hiw to spell Colombia. 1st, none of the Columbia regions of the USA produces coffee. Therefore, I told them, after showing the bags of coffee, the country the coffee of the week comes from is COLOMBIA, not Columbia. Columbia is the USA region, Colombia is the country in the tropics that grows coffee. Hiw is possibke they allow a biggot to tell the klerk to call the police for my correction? Another white person who knows more about how Colombia is spelled? What is this? Read the bags of coffee and you will learn how to spell properly.
I might be spoiled by my French press at home, but the coffee was mediocre at best and the medium size coffee was only filled to about 80% capacity. I asked for a top-off after I added cream and was denied. They did offer to add water... To already watery-looking coffee?! No thanks.
This is the OG coffee shop of Chicago. Always have great coffee and the seating area is nice. The whole bean coffee is also great - they have a discount on Thursdays.
Decent coffee, but be prepared to cut and toast your own stale, cold bagels/ bakery items after they ask for a tip…
Cool spot, nice space with plenty of room to sip & converse. Nice coffee/snacks selections, plus the jumbo chocolate chip cookie was on point! Also plenty of outlets to charge up with books an newspapers to read (yes, newspapers.)
Love this spot! The best coffee in Chicago. I don't live there anymore but I'm happy I was able to sign up online & get a subscription to have to delivered to my apartment in Wisconsin!! Yay, baby!
Great place to study or do some work. Coffees are 3-5$ lattes are 5-7.5$ Great coffee and espresso
