Extensive fun menu of Vietnamese and other Asian inspired coffee/tea drinks! A little pricey but the baristas were so nice and helpful, and happily made recommendations and adjusted sugar levels to my taste. Nice place to work, with WiFi and outlets as well. And I they have a cute little free library in an old fashioned cooler inside, a small selection of local artists’ wares on a sale, and a helpful community bulletin board. The vine decor is a nice touch and it’s sweet in there - I think more real plants would be lovely.

One of the best One of the best tea shops in the city. I ordered a hand-brewed loose-leaf tea labeled Lavender + Grey, essentially Earl Grey with lavender. My best guess is that it used a Chinese hongcha, perhaps Keemun, as the base. On a hot day, I asked for a double-length steep poured over ice, and they were happy to accommodate. The result was excellent: rich and balanced, with the depth of the hongcha and the floral character of the lavender in perfect proportion, along with a beautiful texture. The decor evokes Alice in a distinctly Bohemian Wonderland, with Victorian accents, teacups,

i was pleasantly surprised by first sip cafe. i was dining nearby and decided to try this place out afterwards. the interior is super cute with plenty of seating available. i also love how large the menu is with a lot of unique flavors to try. since this was my first time here, i went with an ube latte. i was surprised with how good the coffee was, strong and not too sweet. i can’t wait to try more of their flavors!

I give it 5 stars for the friendly and sweet staff and the ability to sit and work on things and charge your laptop and cell phones. It’s so easy to get frustrated working from home or feeling trapped indoors at home sometimes so it’s nice to be able to go to a cafe to read or surf or do work without fear of losing battery power. The sesame pandan latte was good too as well as the matcha strawberry coconut milk drink. Interesting flavors for drinks. Parking on the street and pay through Park Chicago app. Plus cute toys and plants and other fun items for sale.
