    I was super excited to try this coffee shop based on the reviews and menu options. I mobile ordered ahead of time and my drink was ready upon arrival. I had the iced black sesame seed latte. At first glance it look good, but it tasted like flavored milk, almost like a milkshake. At $8 price point I expected better.

    Pretty good coffee spot. It gets busy! I was the first order of the morning and had to wait almost 10mins due to mobile orders. Didn't realize it would take that long as I was visiting for a work trip and needed to get to a 7:15am meeting. Pretty simple inside (not a bad thing). But you can't work from there. Their pastries looked amazing and I will want to try one next time I'm in town.

    My experience was great, this place is extremely busy. Yet, they do not rush the extraction of espresso shots, and they take their time with steaming to ensure perfect accuracy in each cup of coffee. That is what I truly appreciate from this place. The art of pouring a perfect drink that pair as well with a nice day. The ambiance is simple and it gets the job done. It is meant to be a grab and go location but still feels like you are in an upscale location. Amazing work team!

    Excellent matcha - now a top on my list for Chicago. Tried it unsweetened (which not many places do because they use premade mixes) with strawberry and it was the perfect sweetness level. This is a grab and go spot.. no seats or space to sit. Unfortunate but it was good enough that I'd return for sure.

    I work across the street and learned about this Coffeeshop from my interns, so you know it is trendy! There were a lot of young people getting coffee on a Thursday morning when I was there, but my coffee was made very quickly. One note is that there is not seating and it was quite crowded; this is not a Coffeeshop where you could park with your laptop and work all day. It was pretty loud, but I was there at the morning rush. Very tasty - I had the iced maple seasonal latte and seasonal scone, which was a cheese and herb.

    Small but cute shop. The menu is pretty straight forward- they have some unique seasonal drinks as well. I got the Frangipane Latte which was okay. My friend got their brown sugar maple latte and I wished I ordered that instead. The espresso flavor isn't super strong either. Overall not bad. Id come back!

    Absolutely the best coffee in the area. What made the experience even more exceptional was the team behind the bar. Not only did they serve an incredible espresso and milk coffee, but they also took the time to walk me through the origin of the beans and their brewing process. You could tell they genuinely care about their craft and take pride in every cup they serve. Espresso was rich and well-balanced, with bright notes that were perfectly complemented by the smoothness of the milk (I got almond milk, which often gets messed up). It's rare to find a spot where both the product and the people are this dialed in! Great experience all around. Will be back for sure!

    What a cute little fine in the Opera building. The service is great. Quick and efficient. Staff is super nice. The lattes are delicious. They even have a variety of milk options.

    Long lines in the AM 8:20

    Been here twice once ordering when I got there and another time ordering mobile. I would suggest ordering 40 min in advance so you're not waiting there too long... can get really busy in the morning. I tried the Spanish latte and it's soooooo good. Good enough for the wait.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Anita P.

    I got the strawberry matcha and thought it was pretty good! It wasn't too sweet and the matcha flavor shined through enough. The prices are a bit steep in my opinion, but it's great for a treat every one in a while

    Pearl H.

    I would say the matcha here is near perfect. I got the iced matcha latte with strawberry and pistachio milk. First off, the flavor profile was one of the best I've had. The matcha seemed high quality, and I appreciated they made it correctly by whisking it so that it was smooth. The strawberry was perfectly sweetened, not sour. The only downside is the cost (close to $10), however for me it was worth it.

    Cardamom Rose latte
    Reyna R.

    This coffee shop was such a wonderful surprise. They have their typical lattes and such, but their seasonal menu was very intriguing. I got their Cardamom Rose latte and it was a perfect balance between the two flavors. It did take a while to get my order, but the service was very friendly. There is no room to sit and hang out, so it is a grab-and-go kind of place. They do have some pastry options - their lemon poppyseed muffin was very dry.

    Great latte! As the name, it truly is just a great espresso and milk. They have fun syrup and featured flavor options in addition to the basics. If you're passing through the area or find yourself in the civic opera building, definitely stop in! It's hidden into the building and definitely a pickup spot - not a place you can come hang out or get work done.

We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

The kind of place where you slow down without trying. The staff was genuinely nice too. Asked how my day was and even recommended couple of pastries. I ordered a hot chocolate with an almond blueberry financier. The hot chocolate was honestly perfect. Rich but not heavy. You get that dark chocolate hit first, then it smooths out. Creamy. Warm in the right way. The financier was great. Nutty from the almonds, little bursts of blueberry, soft but not mushy. I dipped it into the hot chocolate (had to), and yeah... even better. No regrets there. It's a small place, but if you get there early, you might grab a seat with a really nice city view. Worth it. I'll definitely be back. Especially now that I know there's a solid hot chocolate spot right nearby.
