    Agave Latte
    Steve A.

    Came in the morning for coffee in this place in Lakeview East on Belmont. It's about all they have. Osmium is a good place to do some working. Has quite a hipster atmosphere. There's cold and hot drinks as well as a few pastries. A place to look at art while having coffee. It's got all these paintings from local artists for sale. This is the second best thing here to spend your money on though. Coffee is the main reason why people come. It's about $4 for the cheapest stuff. Actually not that bad for the area. The Agave Latte is one of the popular specialties. It's made with chocolate and cinnamon. The pastries also looked good, but there were eggs in these. Best place around here for hipster ass coffee. It's got pretty okay prices. There's non dairy milks for vegans.

    During a recent visit to Chicago, I walked by this coffee shop two mornings in a row and was stopped in my tracks each time by the aromas escaping their front door. On my third morning, I decided to stop in. Several people had already assumed their positions at one of the tables inside, enjoying a bev and free wi-fi, when I was greeted warmly by the team member behind the counter. I decided on a hot chai latte, with oat milk and a shot of espresso. The flavors were so earthy and unrefined, like real coffee and tea should taste! I was also strong armed (not really) into trying a cinnamon old fashioned donut. This was a bonus because the donuts are brought in from Do-Rite Donuts and Chicken which was another establishment I was wanting to try while in town. The donut was nicely sized, moist and flavorful...all the things you want a donut to be! I look forward to the next time I'm in Chi-town when I will start my every morning with Osmium coffee!

    Osmium Coffee Bar is suchhhhhh a vibe. I really like how this place has art all over their walls. When ordering a latte they also have art in those too =) It's a fun spot to grab a drink and hang out for a bit. I was here with a large group for a mid day caffeine treat and service was quick. It took about 10 mins for all of our orders to be prepared. Drinks are strong and delicious. They also have drinks that have a big spicy kick to em. This was a first time for me and I appreciated how unique their drinks are. They also have the classics, drip coffee, regular lattes, etc. There is plenty of seating, can fit about 40-50 people comfortably. Tables and seating at the coffee bar. I highly recommend checking this spot out if in the Lakeview area.

    Such a delightful unique coffee shop. Good vibes inside. They have some of the most unique specialty latte combinations I've seen. I'm still dreaming about Dolor De Oro, it is the perfect winter drink, the perfect swicy hug with a delicious balance between the sweetness of the chocolate and the spice of the cinnamon and habenero. Good things are worth waiting for, expect longer waits than say Starbucks. My barrista made a lovely design on my latte, will be back!

    Amazing spot with many, many coffee options. Free refills if you get drip coffee--ask for a mug if you're planning to stay a bit! Friendly staff; mix of people working, on calls, and chatting. :) Didn't sit there, but there's also great seats by the window if you like people watching

    This was an awesome place! I ordered drip coffee for hubby and I ordered the Aged Barrel Mocha. It was great! Made me drunk! Just kidding! It tasted so delicious! Yummy! Service and ambiance was great! The art was something too that even my 6yo daughter liked it and tried to analyze the mural. Overall, it was a great experience!

    Decided to revisit Osmium today. Went with the Barrel Aged Mocha, which is barrel Aged espresso with chocolate and vanilla notes. It was great! They have most of all your favorite Dark Matter Coffee drinks at this location. The baristas were friendly and quick with my order. Don't forget to get a punch card or bring your old one to get a free drink in the future. Very chill set up with seats at the bar and tables available to get work done. Parking may get a little tight, but meter parking outside. Definitely worth a visit when in the Lakeview area!

    I went to do some remote work there on a Friday morning and it was PACKED. At the same time, the wifi wasn't working so plan accordingly. Menu-wise, I was impressed by the specialty coffees. I'll definitely be coming back (when I don't need to work) to order some of their honey drinks. They all look delicious and I loved the fun cups and music playing!

    Awesome place to pass a couple of hours. There's also a patio where you can relax outside if the weather is nice. The staff are very nice here and the selection is great - just a few, select specialties rather than an incredibly long menu. Whether you're looking for a spot to read for a bit or to get some work done, Osmium will take care of you.

    Funky decor

    Funky, chill vibes at this colorful coffee shop on Belmont. Service is friendly and they sell Cafe Tola breakfast items! I ordered an agave cinnamon oat milk latte (light on agave) and a bfast burrito. The coffee temp was perfect with a hint of agave and spice. Wish the cinnamon was more pronounced but still a satisfying cup of joe. Love the double heart latte art and the huge patio out back. Inside, lots of bar seating and tables but 90% packed with WFH folks.

    Amazing coffee. Best mocha I've had around the world. Barrel aged beans are unique and interesting. Great staff. Great outdoor space. However, wish they used compostable cups and lids.

    This has been on my list of coffee shops to go to when I'm in Chicago. The interior is very cool and the guys working there were super friendly. I decided to try a drip with a cranberry scone. I'm a fan of dark matter coffee so that is always good. I also really enjoyed my scone as it was buttery and sweet. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Chicago

    Coffee lovers unite! Yes yes and more yes to this place! Cool vibes. Friendly staff. Amazing coffee. To go options. Great location, not far from Wrigley field. My husband got the barrel aged mocha- said it was the best coffee he had in the city I got the ginger snap train wreck and it was also delicious Nitro growler fill options. Cold brews. Merch. If I were a local, this would totally be my coffee shop of choice!

    Fun spot to grab coffee with a friend or date!! The decor is so cute, love the gold and green and…read moretile theme they got going on. They really went all out!! There's a fair amount of seating considering the size of the place. Wasn't able to get a spot today unfortunately, but we did go at a busy time on a Sunday morning. I got the honey and lavender specialty latte with soy milk. I get mixed feelings about lavender - sometimes it tastes pretty soapy to me. I thought this was delicious! I'd definitely order again and recommend it. Overall, definitely recommend this spot especially if you're able to get a couch or table to enjoy the space!

    I went here with a friend the other day and we ended up spending a good deal of the afternoon just…read morerelaxing and catching up. Even though we were seated at a regular table, the place had a comfortable vibe and it was easy to settle into. The counter women were efficient, nice, and filled our orders promptly. They did give my friend the wrong size coffee at first, but corrected it quickly and without any problem. One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.
