I stopped through late morning on a Saturday and there was no line for ordering That said, as it is located in a relatively compact space, seating was limited. The staff was friendly and once a line started to form, they did a great job of managing it. I opted for a cold brew coffee which was very tasty. My son had their espresso/tonic which was also tasty and refreshing. I did not try any of their food offerings but the items I saw other with looked delicious. Postcard is laptop-free space on Saturdays and Sundays so keep that in mind if you come here wanting to work on the weekend. I will definitely be back to check out more things from their menu.

Love their pour overs and how they take the time to brew each cup. The workers are knowledgeable about the coffee you ask about and the vibe of the space is quick and fast pace. Similar to another place I went, visited Metric twice--once on a weekday and once on the weekend. Since it's near a bunch of semi-trucks, it's a bit busier on the weekday if you hit the time when the trucks are parking or moving in and out. The weekend, it was a bit easier to get around. A lot of side street parking here!

It's a comfy, quiet little coffee shop with new but pleasant workers, good coffee, some light snacks that could be lunch. The one thing I don't like is that this place doesn't allow the workers to take tips. Unless they are getting paid over $15 an hour, that's not right.

I've been to this location a handful of times now. I've gotten iced coffee, drip coffee a couple…read moretimes, and an iced americano. None of them were particularly exceptional, but they serve their purpose of caffeinating (if that be your goal). I believe they use the same roast for all 3 of those drinks, which is a bright, acidic roast. If you're into that sort of taste, then this place will suit your needs. The employees are hit or miss. I've had a couple good experiences and a couple poor experiences--not rudeness, but not an inviting, pleasant attitude. It wouldn't keep me from coming to this location, but it is a bit of a letdown to be served by someone who doesn't seem to want to serve. All in all, I enjoy this coffee and the employees more than the alternative around the bend from here, but it won't become my go-to stop for now. For now, I prefer walking to Starbucks, although I don't consider myself a Starbucks person.

The artwork is so interesting and I spent the first 15 minutes just looking around! I tried the Sweet Potato Pie latte and it was amazing. So I broke my rule of having only one cup of coffee a day and try the Taffy Apple latte and it was equally amazing! The owner gave me a half off discount on my second cup. He was so nice and took the time to chat with me about his business and his hopes for expanding his hours. He was so kind. I love the seating spaces. This will be a great place to work remotely, to go with a group of friends and have a book club meeting, to just go and relax yourself and get some reading done. I really love this space! Also, coffee drinkers will appreciate this bonus.... There is no upcharge for milk alternatives!!! Definitely check this spot out!

And honestly, the crowd says a lot--it's always buzzing, always full, and wonderfully diverse. The coffee is strong--exactly what I need on those weekend mornings when I'd rather stay in bed a little longer, but the warm weather is calling me outside. There's something about a good, strong cup of coffee that makes getting out of bed feel worth it. One of my favorite things to do here is grab my coffee, find a spot on the comfy bench outside, and simply sit and people-watch. No agenda, no rush--just watching the neighborhood come alive around me. That's what I love about places like this. It's not just about the coffee. It becomes part of the rhythm and character of the neighborhood. A little busy, a little loud, full of different people and stories--and somehow, that's exactly what makes it feel like Pilsen.

Sandwiches on focaccia are very tasty and come with pasta or chips. I like the pasta which is very strange, barely seasoned and cold but it's more satisfying bc it feels very home made. Pretty generally it is always packed but the service is fairly efficient. It's rare to be able to get a table but there are so benches outside, so you probably are best taking your sandwich to a nearby park or home. Also I've always loved the portrait of Subcommandant Marcos.

My wife and sister probably think I am absolutely crazy but every time we visit my sister (and when…read moreI lived there), this was my favorite breakfast spot before work. They have the best morning bagels I have ever had! Sure, I could put cream cheese, onion, tomato and cucumber on one at home but it is NOT the same! I have tried! Whatever they do to make their bagels is so much better than the store bought ones I can find. Not to mention that I love their scones! I might sound like I have a food problem but I love their morning bagels with a blueberry scone for later and top it all off with a vanilla latte. The service is always pretty quick, the staff is very friendly and if you eat there they play pretty good music. There are only like 6 seats inside but they also have an outdoor area too for summer.

Well, if you are with Matcha snobs and coffee snobs, you will end up visiting Sawada coffee Located on the second floor at 112 N. Green Street is Sawada coffee. It's together with another establishment. The tables inside the establishment do not belong to Sawada Coffee The trick to securing the seat belonging to the other establishment is to purchase something from that other establishment so that us Sawada coffee drinkers can peacefully sip on our drinks Don't ever think that coffee is just coffee, because it isn't you will learn this if you would to visit with Sawada Coffee if and when you are in the area in Chicago.

As a matcha girlie, Sawada Coffee was a must-try spot in Chicago. The vibes here- I'm all about…read morethem- and the drinks were pretty good. We came on a weekend afternoon, and it was popping! The line was out the door. To get in, walk up the stairs (there's also a menu posted), then order at the register. You'll then pay and pick up your drink when it's called. Drinks are made pretty quickly; the service was kind, and they also have pastries on display. Seating-wise, they have some bar seating. But what gets you is the ambiance; it's rustic and chic! I'm all about trying either a basic or specialty matcha. I got a Matcha Latte, Tokyo Style, with Oat Milk. The matcha was good quality, a bit on the milky and creamy side, but the Tokyo style made it sweet. It was a good pick-me-up, but for the price, it was a bit expensive. I tried my friend's seasonal Hojicha Spiced Pumpkin Latte, and it was strong and good. If you're into matcha or coffee, Sawada Coffee in West Loop is a popular spot. Find them off N Green Street, close to public transportation. Happy me and Irene M. could get our matcha fix!
