My go-to coffee shop down the street from my house. The coffee is bomb. Cold brew is rocket fuel - in a good way. Specialty/seasonal lates are perfectly sweetened so they don't just taste like you're drinking Torani syrup, which luckily, you also won't find at this place. The house made syrups are fantastic. Baked goods are always a hit. The owner is super cool. They're always playing good music in there too. Probably some of the best coffee I've had in the city. I'm a coffee snob and I make good coffee at home - burr grinder, pour over, scale, the whole thing - but the stuff I make still doesn't seem to hold a candle. This place is a treat. read more

OMC is a great addition to the neighborhood with wonderful service, baked goods, and (of course) coffee and coffee drinks. One thing I really like about the place is the openness and outgoingness of the owner and the staff. They interact with customers and get to know them. It's a nice change from typical coffee shops. The other thing I love about Our Mutual City is their accommodation to food allergies. They always have something gluten-free, and often both gluten- and dairy-free. Speaking of which, I had a gluten-free and dairy-free breakfast sandwich. They bake the eggs in a loaf with several spices that compliment the meal very well. Rather than a biscuit or a bagel, they serve it on two latkes (potato pancakes) with several slices of bacon. Wow - it was huge and it was amazing. Definitely recommend it either with the dietary restrictions, or without. I also had a rosemary-caramel latte. The barista recommended it to me and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Around the table we had other breakfast sandwiches, a bagel with lox and cream cheese, and other coffee drinks. I took a few dairy-free, gluten-free pastries home with us. I highly recommend Our Mutual City Coffee. read more

Great space and coffee. Very friendly Staff and they had a nice layout to sit and check your work for a few minutes.

I ordered the seasonal banana matcha latte. Tastes like matcha AND banana. Happy with it. It's a great, convenient place for parents to bring kids because of the play area. That also means a potential louder environment. FYI, for those who like to study/work at cafes. No issues with service. read more

Yumm! Cute coffee shop with pastries! I got the matcha latte which was delicious! Made it exactly how I like it. They have many pastries to choose from here. I got the quiche which they warmed up for me. It was good as well. They had samples as well like the matcha coconut cake. Yum! Service was good but it took a bit to warm up my quiche. Love the vibes here. There's a play area by the windows for the kids which I thought was cute! read more

It's not giving MUTUAL. The only representation was "a hands off Chicago" sign. It's airy and bright. Service seems off, no smiles, eye contact, inviting personality or nothing. Cashier seemed inpatient and there was no one in line behind me. I asked it to be for here but it came out to-go. Tasty items and fair priced. read more

I come here pretty much every weekend, I always feel so bad for the baristas because I am so tired I can barely order correctly. Greg, the owner is super kind. Chloe, Grace and all the other staff are very easy to talk to, incredibly welcoming and very hard working. I usually order a bagel or the "Andy" breakfast sandwich. It always tastes great and is consistent each time I come here. All in all, one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. Never too crowded and the vibe is always very chill and relaxing. Highly recommend. read more

ASH & JESSE'S CHICAGO COFFEE CRAWL '25 Ranked #3 out of 15 Our first stop in our coffee crawl & only a 3 minute walk from our AirBnB, really could not get better than that. I got a Honey Cardamom latte and it was absolutely delicious. No complaints. 10/10. My friends got a Caramel latte, that she asked for it to be sweeter due to personal preference and my other friend (a self-proclaimed matcha connoisseur) got a matcha latte that she said was pretty good! Which can be a miss sometimes at coffee shops-- color & ratio was absolutely perfect. My partner got a Brown Sugar latte that was absolutely delectable. My partner and I got the Winston to share as well. Wow! The tomato jam was so yummy and for the sandwiches to be named after their pets is too cute. The staff was absolutely amazing. Truly the best part. Friendly and great conversation. The owner actually recommended us 'Side Practice'-- another great coffee shop that we ended up loving. We ended coming again on a whim because my friend was feeling lightheaded from not eating breakfast and we came in and ordered a bagel for her. Sadly we did so right before the kitchen closed, not knowing so, and they did so with no complaints or side eyes. Just a very kind staff and a great atmosphere overall. read more

I wish I didn't come at the end of the day! The staff and setup made the cafe inviting. Easy place to set up a laptop and the kid play area is thoughtful. I enjoyed both my cardamom latte and the generously sized biscuit (kitchen closes a little earlier than the coffeebar). Would definitely recommend you stop by if you're looking for a place to get some work done or catch up with a friend near Irving Park. read more

Dope vibe. So glad I steeped in. Love the how much light comes through. Very cute space. Nice decor and very easy spot to work from. There's a nice lil spot for kids too. For those parents with young kids. That's a very nice and thoughtful touch. There is a gluten free option too. Staff was welcoming and I loved the vibe. That's what it's all about, right?!?? Boom- 10/10 recommend. They serve Magnifico coffee-- a local roaster. Local supporting local. Doesn't get much better than that. read more

It was good, it's close to my house, the scone was scrumptious, the coffee made me happy; what more do you need? I love that they have an area for the kids to play and there is plenty of seating. Next time I may grab a seat in the window to sun myself like a local cat. read more

So nice to have a good coffee shop in neighborhood. The space was completely redone since last shop; bright with wonderfully simple and clean design. Friendly servers and great coffee. Of course, they have free WiFi and plenty of work tables. The owner apparently did most of the re-model himself; benches and high tables are basic, but fit in and are comfortable. There is a small play area for tots Thanks for reviving the neighborhood! read more

They make a very good bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich, with a spicy aioli as a unique touch. Good coffee, too.

This cafe has been in this location for a year. They make their syrups in house. As a parent, I appreciate that they created a children's nook in the cafe with books and toys so they can also enjoy the space. I had the lavender matcha latte with oat milk. The cafe is clean and bright inside. My children had fun and they've already asked to go again. read more

I had high hopes for this coffee shop based on the reviews. Walking in, the shop is stark and minimal missing that warm cozy coffee shop feel. We ordered an espresso and tonic, cappuccino with almond milk and a cheddar five spice scone. The scone was plain without a single bite of cheese or spice. Espresso tonic not nearly as good as any others ive had and the cappuccino was too bitter to drink. One of the girls behind the counter was really friendly but the other one barely spoke and had a frown on her face the whole time. There are million coffee shops in chicago so i definately wont be back here. read more

I'm just obsessed with this new shop -- and not just because their interior is so bright, simple, and PINK! But here's all the reasons why: It has a GREt indoor ambiance. It's spacious, bright, and has a variety of comfy seating, and big tables. It makes for the perfect work-from-not-home coffee shop! They have an array of sweet and savory pastry and breakfasty type snackies. Better yet... the pastries are made in house! The peanut butter cookie was the best i've ever had! I really love the variety of coffees they offer. I've had hot lattes and i've had fun things like the espresso tonic. Everything is outstanding! My fave part? Everyone working here is so personable and kind. Get out there and support local! read more

If you want a play center for your kids this is perfect, but if you want to get work done here don't bother. It's filled with parents letting their kids run around and it's too loud and distracting to get anything done. Of the times that I've been there. I've seen a lot of people walk in, notice the kids and walk right back out. They're losing a lot of customers. The food is good but the coffee is mid. read more

Just went for the first time today! Loved it. We got a coffee and then waited outside with our pup and they brought out a little treat for her. Bacon egg and cheese bagel was delicious! Loved the egg they had on it. So many ppl were coming in / out on a Saturday morning. They have a cute play area if you have kids. Will be back! read more

I'm sorry but this shop is just too damm over priced for what you get, sure the coffee tastes fine but I was feeling generous and gave $2.50 tip for a $7 dollar latte, nothing to crazy, the cup was so fkn small by the time I made it too my car about 100 ft it was half way done with all the ice! Like come on. read more

The coffee I ordered tasted really good, and it's a nice clean space inside. Unfortunately, the young girl taking my order was rather standoffish. She didn't say anything when I greeted her and she rolled her eyes when I gave my order. It was a bit unusual. I don't think the other employees here are like that based on other reviews so it must have just been her. There's actually a different coffee shop about a 10 minute walk down Irving Park Rd that was just as good but way friendlier and welcoming employees. It's called Chess Club Coffee and I think I'd probably recommend it over this coffee shop. read more

so nice to see a cafe using beans from magnifico! i stopped in on a saturday morning and had a cortado and (i believe) and olive oil orange cake. costs were about what you'd expect, and the baristas were friendly. i received both drink and pastry quickly, and both were delicious! it was pretty chill and not overly busy, but not completely dead, either. i don't know if they have wifi or not, but this is more of a chilling place and not a working place, anyways. read more

A cute little place on the corner. Bright, airy with great beverages both hot and iced. The fresh baked cookies, an equally tasty muffin with great employees and an owner to serve it all up. What more could we ask for? Definitely worth repeated trips. read more

Not only does OMC serve up delicious, well made coffee drinks, they absolutely excel in the bakery department. The cookies here are insanely good, especially the peanut butter.
