Excellent shop, barista very friendly and knowledgeable. Made a fantastic Cortado. Grabbed a bad of beans, quite good. Also nice selection of teas. Definitely will stop again!

I love supporting small businesses in the neighborhood. This one is definitely worth supporting. Great staff! Great choices of pastries but you have to get there early to get the good ones. Coffees and Chai are always a hit!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience at this location. We ordered our coffee 15 min before our train came to Irving Park station and we ended up having to leave without our drinks. Please put more people working as baristas for Sunday mornings!!! It’s not fair to your employees to make them work super fast AND deliver good quality products. I was super sad to not get my drink and waste $20 :(

Compact coffee shop with a large selection of pastries, in house roasting, and some hot breakfast options. Staff were very friendly, and there was a nice amount of art for sale and on display. Specialty drinks had some very unique options and the drip was pretty good. Did not try any hot food options but the pastries were good. If you do get hot food, it is in a cooler directly opposite the register and can be reheated in a microwave. Solid spot, especially if you're taking the metra or blue line. There's also ample parking!
