This is my favorite Chicago cafe by far! The quiet ambience is great for studying with piano music playing in the background. It has a simple clean aesthetic with many varieties of seating and outlets with most tables. The drink menu is vast and everything I’ve tried here is delicious! I would recommend the strawberry matcha bingsoo as it is my favorite!

I’m glad they got rid of their couches and pillows. While it was cozy, they were visibility very dirty. I could see why old customers have left low rating due to a change in ambience but that’s unfair for a new owner. I love that the place is more wide open, bright & airy. Update Second visit: Customer Service could be more welcoming.

This cafe is perfect for a nice snack and study. Many spots to sit, enjoy food and mingle with friends. I personally wouldn’t stay longer than an hour and a half since there are no cushions 🤣 Additionally, their injeolmi and black sesame bingsoo (shaved ice) here is so good! I also tried their savory pizza croffle another day because I was hungry and boy was that satisfying. I also like their corn cream latte. The banana milk latte was somewhat disappointing so I wouldn’t recommend that. Will keep coming back to try more :)
