“Delicious espresso with inventive syrups in a hip, quiet space.”

Raymond Chandler★★★★★

☕️ What a fantastic spot! The drip coffee was smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed—exactly what you want to start your day. The ham and cheese croissant was equally impressive, with a flaky, buttery pastry and a delicious balance of savory ham and melted cheese. 🥐🧀 Beyond the food and coffee, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and comfortable, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. 😊✨ The combination of quality drinks, tasty pastries, and a welcoming environment makes this café a place I’d happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone look

☕️ This café serves some of the best coffee in Chicago — rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. Every sip is a treat! 😍 The atmosphere is just as impressive — warm, cozy, and beautifully decorated 🪴🖼️. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming 😊, making the whole experience even better. Plus, the music selection was on point 🎶 — relaxing but not too loud, perfect for sipping and chatting. Whether you’re here to work, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this spot is a must-visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cozy small coffee shop with a manual espresso machine. Menu is small but very well executed, definitely one of the best espresso pulls I've had in a while. Seating inside is very limited, but there is a year-round walk up window. They unfortunately no longer do Turkish style coffee, but everything else was so well done that we'll definitely have to come back again sometime!

If you’re looking for rude hipsters that think they are doing you a favor by making you a six dollar coffee then this is the place for you! Yelp reviews say the same thing! I love how it says in the reviews that the baristas aren’t as rude as they once were but still are! I have had it! They only reason they are still open is that they are the only walkable coffee joint for blocks and blocks! Over priced , rude and slow! Next time I’ll walk four blocks to Dunkin’ Donuts!
