First of all, it's a vibe every time I've been there. The place is cool and inviting & the people are nice and knowledgeable. But wait...there's more! Everything I've ever had there is great. Like. Everything. I don't live by this place. It's a bit of a chore for me to get there. Yet, I go there all the time to meet friends. It's worth a special trip.

The Americano was really hot and they even warm the cream for you. The sandwich tasted really good. Lots of avocado and the lemondono is as sweet which made the sandwich savory with a sweet little kick. The lady working the counter was extremely friendly and personable. It's located by the Metra so it's a perfect place to come by and grab a bite before getting on the train or even just work for a bit. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back!

Lots more than just coffee. They have salads which are fresh. A lot on the menu which is crazy. It's not that big of a place. They have mostly a selection of pastries and salads. Coffee is the best thing to get. It's about $6 for a specialty. Best of these is the Brown Shaken Espresso. This is choice of milk along with cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and double espresso which is kickass. A thing to really get one going. It's about $9 for a salad. They have a few of these. I got the Arugula Pecan Salad. This also has balsamic glaze, cranberries, garlic pickle, lodolemono, onion crisps, pecans, and tomatoes. It was enough. She got the Avocado Toast. Basic looking. There's also paninis. Chill place to get breakfast or lunch. It's located on Cicero at 157th. This is across from the Metra station.

Even though there's not much vegan or even vegetarian friendly, it can make for some good stuff at an event. They also have cheap prices. Came in while checking out other things around here.

They have a few of these so called dessert empanadas if you're looking for something interesting, or put in a custom order. Happy to report my guests liked these empanadas. It seems they would like more. Then I told them where to get these.

I wasn't hungry yet so I only had the rasmalai tiramisu latte. They served a hot drink in a cup with no handles so I had to wait to hold the cup before I could sip on it.

She also had the black bean sweet potato taco which she enjoyed.

When I say coffee shop, Afro Joes is what I'm looking for. Great customer service, cozy interior, natural light, drink specials and light bites! The short rib grilled cheese is THEE sandwich to order. Their cucumber salad on the side is amazing. This time I ordered the Blue Magic which is an ice latte with blueberry and lavender flavored topped with strawberry cold foam. I love earthy flavors so this was perfect. I also ordered the butternut squash danish. It was very flaky and the filling wasn't too sweet. A nice compliment to my drink. My mom ordered the Kayla Chai which she said was good! There was live singing during my visit which put the cherry on top.
