They have a ton of cats walking around and hanging out (including kittens) and you're able to play with them, buy drinks or snacks while you're there or cat merchandise that helps support the house getting cats adopted. I participated in a cat bingo night where you can get cat themed prize bags which was pretty fun. I'd recommend a visit for a unique experience and if you like cats.

There is a small receiving area with free hot drinks and a cooler of for purchase cold drinks. Upon being greeted we were given the rules to play, and made our way in. The space was quiet and relaxing, and we enjoyed it. For me personally, I'd have a hard time enjoying it as much with little kids running about, but since we didn't have said little kids (or any kids) we decompressed, played, and just enjoyed the experience very much. What a great concept and well executed.

They also have bathrooms!

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.

Tasted their other flavors and they were also tasty. The brown sugar boba was just okay though and the tapioca pearls were clumped together and single pieces were still not that sippable. I wouldn't get it again. Located in the vegan food hall in uptown that just opened!

I finally got a chance to come here. It's been listed as Chicago's first Pakistani-themed cafe. I…read morelike that they have long hours. There is a ton of parking available. I really like the look of the inside, it's very aesthetic and will likely appeal to these young American Tik Tok/IG girls. However, as Chicago's first Pakistani-themed cafe, I was hoping for a more authentic experience. I know their menu is half American and half Pakistani. I think 95% Pakistani would have been better. The pancakes, French toast, chicken cajun pasta, and chicken club sandwich, people can get that literally anywhere. The Pakistani food you can't. I ordered the paratha smash burger and honey cardamom matcha hot. The honey cardamom was great, not very sweet at all. The paratha was crispy and the smash burger was juicy. I really enjoyed the sauce on top of the burger. I would definitely come back here for that. Service was very friendly and helpful. I would give this place a 4. I would really love to see more Pakistani food on the menu as well as advertised on your social media. The Americanized food catering to Americans doesn't do the Pakistani culture justice.

We sat at the cute floor seating area and lounged with our snacks. We got the bun kabob, haleem and karak chai. The haleem has no business being this good at a cafe lol. The bun kabob's meat to bread to chutney ratio was perfect. The chai was really authentic and not too sweet. We went for snack, but ended waay more stuffed than intended. Happily so

It turned out to be a cozy little spot with a great selection of pastries and a few indoor tables, making it a nice place to escape the rain for a bit. The staff was friendly, and I ordered a hot latte along with a chocolate croissant. The croissant was absolutely delicious, fresh, flaky, and definitely the highlight. My only disappointment was that even though I was dining in, my latte was still served in a paper cup instead of a "for here" mug. The croissant was also handed to me in a paper bag rather than on a plate, which made eating it at the table a little awkward. It's a small detail, but I think serving dine-in orders on proper plates and in nice ceramic mugs would make the experience feel much nicer.Other than that, it was a lovely little café and a perfect place to warm up while waiting for the rain to pass.
