The staff kindly suggested I try their yuzu tart instead, and I'm glad I did--it was absolutely delightful. They encouraged me to come back the following week at a better time for the croissants, and I took their advice. It was well worth it. The croissant was one of the best I've ever had--perfectly made and memorable. Service was quick, and everyone I interacted with was warm, kind, and welcoming. The space itself is small and quaint, which adds to its charm. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you get the chance.

The Black Sesame Latte 6/10 honestly tasted like tofu to me. I did appreciate that it wasn't too…read moresweet, and it had a toasty, nutty flavor profile, but the tofu-like taste just wasn't for me. The Goguma Latte 9/10 was delicious! It had sweet potato milk, spiced honey syrup, and creamy honey cloud foam. I loved the texture from the sweet potato milk and the thick, creamy foam on top. I kinda chugged this one, so I forgot to pay attention to how the espresso tasted, but the overall drink was so good. It also came with a Goguma Cookie Sandwich, which had more of a cake texture. The cafe is cute and a great spot for studying, although there are only about five tables. They also provide water, which is always a plus.

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.

Chicago has had an explosion of fusion bakeries/pastry shops recently, and Sarima with it's…read moreIndian-Filipino fusion inspired treats is a great example of this. When we arrived, their full display of beautiful pastries were available, and we opted for the ube crinkle cookie, gulab jamun tiramisu, and ensaimada donut. The cookie was chewy with a nice slightly crisp outside, the cream cheese filling added some richness and creaminess but was quite off to the side so that some bites had a lot of it and some bites none. The ensaimada donut was fluffy with a light rich whipped cheesy creamy filling, topped with a nice layer of shredded cheese that balanced the line well between sweet and a bit of savory. The gulab jamun tiramisu was an interesting but well done mix between gulab jamun (in Indian dessert of fried milk/cheese ball soaked in syrup) in the center with layers of soft sponge cake soaked in rose cardamom syrup, with a creamy whipped frosting and pistachios on top. Overall, while some of the treats were better than others, Sarima really delivers on the combination of Indian-Filipino flavors, and I look forward to coming back to try some of otheir other creative options.

I have been meaning to try this place and wasn't able to go the last time I was in Wicker Park, but I am so glad I got to this time! The pastries are nice to look at and complex without "doing too much" and their sando was pretty original, so I'd love to try the rest of what they have! Me and my girlfriend split the Thicc Sando. The toasted bun was soft and perfectly held all the shtuff together. The hashbrown and egg were pretty standard, and the sweet & sour aioli felt like a normal aioli that gave a nice coating to everything. I think the genius of the sandwich was in the tocino sausage patty. I initially thought it was going to be straight tocino (somehow halal), and then I saw the patty and was confused, but then I took a bite and had all the right flavors in my mouth! Loved the tocino, and loved it even more with the shallots, wish there was an overloading amount of those, but that may just be me! I had gotten the Mango Lassi Matcha as my fun drink. I am not a mango lassi connoisseur, so I can't say too much, but it was a nice and tart yogurty lassi with the contrasting green matcha foam on top. The matcha on its own was unsweetened and a little week, but mixing everything together had balanced it all out for a yum drink. My girlfriend got the Salted Maple Latte for her fun drink. A nice sweet espresso that I can't comment too much on, but still a great thing to sip on. We shared a Mango Float Cookie and I thought it was such a fun take on the dessert. I really loved the cookie and the graham flavor with the frosting, but the mango drizzle felt too tart for how a mango float is... still great and would get again Overall I was happy with this visit! The rest of their breakfast options sounded really good and I'm interested in their fusion. They also had more pastries that looked amazing and I am particularly interested in the chai flan donut and the guava galette. Happy with this visit and can't wait for the next!

The Ghostly Trio 8/10 is a white miso caramel and black sesame latte, and I loved how unique the…read moreflavor combination was! It was nutty, and I could actually taste the espresso without the miso, caramel, or black sesame overpowering it. The flavors worked together really well, and it was delicious. The Basic 9/10 was a pumpkin puree latte with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. The pumpkin and cinnamon flavors were strong, and the espresso was delicious. Definitely my favorite of the two! Honestly, I wish this place were closer to where I live because I could see it becoming my go-to coffee shop. I really loved their espresso flavor. The vibes are chill and casual with a strong '80s aesthetic. It's pretty spacious but gets packed, with couches for lounging and water and Wi-Fi available. The music is upbeat and loud, though, so I'd say it's more of a lounge to hang out with friends than a quiet place to work.

Not sure how Matt managed to get hired here, so I assume being rude is part of their training…read more After hearing great things about their coffee and being in town for a trip, I payed Wormhole a visit. I ordered 5 coffees one morning, and all the register guy did was write a few names on some cups and placed it down. I understand tipping culture is a divided topic of discussion, but at the end of the day, it is OPTIONAL. After pressing the skip button from what I believe to be non-tip worthy service, he threw a fit and said "Wow you're serious? After I did all that?" Meanwhile all he did was write names on cups. Now I would understand if he was the barista working hard to pump out the coffees, but two lovely ladies were in the back doing that. He shooed me and my friend out of line as we were still processing what he just said. The next customer orders and he had the audacity to talk about us to them while we're 5 feet away. Delusional as he was, he had the nerve to say we were holding up the line and made him do "all that work", and I could promise you, we knew exactly what we wanted to order the second we got up, and took no longer than 45 seconds. We also witnessed he got into it with another customer, so it seems like he's the problem here. Most wild service I have ever received, all for some milky coffees. I ended up tipping the lovely ladies in the back though. Be warned. There are much better spots.

The matcha itself didn't taste as watery as the strawberry matcha, but mixed together, the flavor was still pretty light. Cool that it comes with a piece of banana bread. 7/10. Strawberry Matcha: The matcha by itself tasted watery, probably because it had been sitting for a while. There was a lot of strawberry purée, so once mixed together, it mostly tasted like strawberry with a light matcha flavor. 6/10.
