Drove by here several times but haven't stopped in, the place looks massive and cool from the outside. My husband and I strolled over on a Sunday morning to check it out and the place was pleasantly buzzing. While waiting to place our order I scoped out the pastry / treats selection and was tempted by the glazed banana bread. We ordered a drip coffee and iced dirty chai. Both drinks came out quickly and with a chocolate square surprise! The banana bread paired wonderfully with the chai and was actually quite filling for the size. Can't wait to come back, think this is now our top neighborhood coffee shop!

Soy latte

Excellent coffee! Bold and flavorful! The barista did a fabulous job making my latte. Oftentimes at cafes you find just foamy bubbles but here they know how to steam and blend plant based milks as well as create latte art. It has an industrial decor but you can get cozy in their seating area. I can't wait to go back!

Really cool spot in a big warehouse type of building in Logan square! I loved that they have machinery that makes the coffee here at this location. This spot also offers plenty of work space for people who want to bring in their laptop. The coffee menu is straight forward and there's options for snacks and food. I had a simple iced coffee with sugar free vanilla and it was great. You can also scoop your own bag of coffee beans and take it for home as well. Cool spot with great drinks overall!

Cold brew with San pelligrino and almond syrup
Ali B.

My sister went here today and got me a coffee to go! I just asked her to get me any kind of sun seasonal cold brew drink or just a plain cold brew! They had a cherry San pellegrino almond cold brew, but they said they were out of cherry so they made it with lemon instead. Which was great because I love lemon! It was super refreshing but I wished that it had a little less of the sparkling water in it. It was really good though and I would get a coffee from here again next time I'm in town!

A pretty cool location with plenty of seating, both inside and outside. They also roast their coffee here as half of the space is allocated to the machinery. It has this interesting fishbowl area with outlets then seating around it. The staff was friendly and helped explain some of their specialty drinks, but I ended up going with the Caffè Latte iced which was good.

Cafe Umbria is serious about their coffee! Great interior space with plenty of seating. They have a section dedicated to their coffee beans which is really awesome. Friendly staff with very good lattes! Pro Tip: when you receive your coffee they also give you a cafe Umbria chocolate. Nice touch!

Cappuccino Al Cacao
Jose C.

Came here for a quick cup of coffee. The building is huge and very spacious inside. The staff was very friendly and it didn't take long to get our coffee. My wife ordered their Cappuccino Al Cacao and I ordered their Caffe Marocchino. Both were pretty good. It tasted very similar to a mocha but a little bit stronger. Wouldn't hesitate returning.

honey oat milk latte
Nazia C.

I've driven by here many times and didn't even know it was a coffee shop! It's pretty cool inside, lots of bold colors and industrial ish design. There's free street parking, free wifi, and a free piece of chocolate with your drink. I had the honey oat milk latte which came out very quickly and was brought to me at the table. I loved the little glass cube with lots of seating which has outlets all along the floor! Also neat to see their coffee bean machines.

niccoiola freddo; cherry danish
Mona T.

Overall Thoughts: I liked the vibes of this spot-- very industrial, yet comfortable. The coffee menu is expansive and a bit intimidating at first, but you can't really go wrong and nothing is too expensive. I ordered a Niccoiola Freddo, which I found pretty tasty, frothy, and had a nice balance of sweetness. I also tried a cherry danish, which I thought was just okay-- not as good as I was hoping. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5 Drinks/Food: 4.3/5 Ambience: 4.7/5 Service: 4.7/5 Overall Value: 4.3/5

the interior of a coffee shop
Aditi S.

Love this coffee spot! The interior is very spacious and the coffee is amazing - every single time. The chocolate on top makes it even more special.

Inside
Amanda C.

Had a great takeout experience! Staff was kind and friendly when I asked them to explain the pastries in the window. Had a couple customers coming in and out on a Wednesday morning before work. Cool interior where you can see coffee beans being processed. Decent amount of seating indoors, a few outside. I ordered brewed coffee and it tasted fine, as expected. The almond croissant was MASSIVE. It had beautiful layers and an ample amount of almond paste. I just wish there wasn't so much powdered sugar on top. Great coffee shop in the neighborhood and would return!

Matcha
Ayesha G.

Wanted to love it but.... Poorly mixed matcha & it tasted like straight oat milk. Specifically had asked for more concentrated too lol. And this was somehow $9.50??? Will not be returning :(

It's a new experience to be able to sit beside the coffee roaster machines in an industrial cafe setup.

Good coffee in a low key vibe. Service is good and the baked goods are solid. If you buy a bag of beans on Friday, your drink is free.

It also didn't hurt that their military matcha packs a punch. The espresso matcha combination was much smoother than I anticipated. I'd be lying if i didn't admit that I was questioning that this was a trending drink in the reviews but I was wrong, dear reader. The combination somehow worked and it's pretty at the same time.

Their military latte is their iconic drink, so if I'm ever back in Chicago, it'll definitely be something I'll check out! FOOD They have a limited selection of pastries like donuts available for purchase. Selection was limited near the end of the day. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! It gets busy fast, but they are efficient in pumping out orders. AMBIANCE Ample seating is available inside the store that is shared with the BBQ place adjoining the coffee spot. I visited around 2:30pm and it was filled with people working/studying or meeting with friends/coworkers. Complimentary wi-fi is available (password on the menu board). Finding the entrance was a bit confusing despite all the signs, but it's the one with a lot of stickers! PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

The decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

Luckily when I got there it wasn't too crazy, but the line was just at the door. This place was packed inside and it felt a bit overwhelming. There are kiosks to place your order which is smart so the employees can focus on making drinks due to the large volume of traffic. Luckily it only took about 3 min for me to place my order. It was easy to do. I've heard about the infamous mango matcha latte so that is what I ordered. There's an area to wait for your drinks and they even have seating. I was able to snag a spot and people watch. 1 thing about this place is the people who come in here sure do dress nice so I'm glad i put myself together somewhat instead of coming in my pj's. I think people are in and out typically because of how crowded it is. It would be nice to enjoy the ambiance if there were more room. It is a nice vibe inside. After maybe 7 minutes of waiting my name was called according to my drink order. Once I left, the line was out the door. So the question is does the mango matcha latte live up to its name? It most certainly does! The drink is really good. Totally understand the hype. Thank you Gathers for making my drink and managing the foot traffic so well on the day to day.

I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.
