    Breakfast sandwich.
    Denisse M.

    Awesome coffee shop in the Rodgers Park area. We had delicious drip coffee, latte and hot chocolate. Their sandwiches are delicious and their menu is great. Loved the vibes in this place.

    Wonderful experience at this hidden gem! Friendly staff, diverse crowd, and delicious coffee! Everything was neat and orderly. The staff was friendly efficient yet quick to keep the busy line of Monday morning patrons moving. Everything is Sparkling down to the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I will definitely visit this hip coffee shop again!!! Oh and the sandwich's are made to order. Definitely worth the wait!

    This is our favorite local coffee shop since moving. We go here frequently and the great service is consistently awesome! The staff are very friendly, as a neighborhood coffee shop they try to remember you, and also very pet friendly. It's cool to see everyone vibe in here! The ambiance of the shop is relaxing, they have a printer in the back, and more space too. Also, prices are great too. Very leveled compared to franchise coffee shops. We also always order croissants. Ordered the chocolate one today but they have almond and also a butter croissant as well. The best part? They sell day old pastries and they taste as good as the fresh ones! If there's a day old croissant we buy them instantly!

    Yum coffee.

    This is my go to spot. I love them. I'm actually about to go and grab my coffee now! I'm a regular and I always feel welcomed when I enter the space. It's a lovely vibe inside and enough seating to relax if needed. The staff is always so nice, the service is efficient, and the cranberry orange muffins are the best. You can't go wrong with CC!

    Iced Hazelnut Latte
    Munsanje M.

    Every time I stop in the service is phenomenal! I always order an iced hazelnut latte with oatmilk and it's so silky & smooth, one of my favorite places to get lattes! The shop is small and cute and even has a few tables if you wanted to stay and work or study.

    Orange Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

    Beautiful baked goods coming out of this cafe. Banana Walnut Bundt cakes. Orange chocolate chip Bundt cakes. Pair it with top shelf Metric coffee and boom, you're living the good life.

    I don't like leaving 3 star reviews especially since the staff has been so kind, warm, and helpful. The store itself is very cute and comfy. The only reason why this place gets three stars for me is because I didn't enjoy the food. (Granted I've only had the iced coffee and muffin). Iced coffee was too sweet and tasted artificial. I was given a straw that kept breaking into a million pieces (I had to get three new straws because the straw kept cracking which was so weird). I had to water down the coffee twice for it to taste ok, but I just came to the conclusion that it just wasn't for me and tossed it in the end. Muffin was so-so. Wish it was a bit warmer and softer. They do have a lot of regulars though, that means they're making other people happy. I think you should still give it a shot if you're thinking about coming by. Next time I'll try something else on the menu that might change my opinion.

    First time here!! The customer service is great the employees all have great energy and the atmosphere is chill. The food and coffee was all on point. I had a a flat white and broccoli cheddar quiche. Definitely check this place out and support a local business if your in the area and need that coffee fix.

    Love to support neighborhood coffee shops, so I was really excited when I saw this place was open again! I got their speciality latte, the Almond Burr, and it was really cool, has a nice amaretto flavor and a good bit of cinnamon. Coffee was made really quickly and the baristas were super friendly! Wish there wasn't a non-dairy milk upcharge...but so many coffee shops in Chicago have that so it's hard to knock them for that. I'll definitely be back since they're right around the corner from me!

    My view!

    Fast service, good music, and the drip coffee is unique and great! 100% worth the couple extra steps past Dunkin for a much better coffee.

    This place is usually pretty busy. I put my name down for 5 people. The wait was about 15 min for…read morethe raised area where you sit on the floor. We had to take our shoes off to sit comfortably. I think we could've had tables too, but the wait would've been longer. If you have a large group, I would call first to see if they can accommodate you. All the staff here are so kind and friendly. I've been here twice total now, and both times the food has been excellent. I didn't realize this place was pescatarian the first time. I picked the mister grecco panini for the artichoke hearts: It was a little salty due to the olives, but it wasn't overwhelming. I really enjoyed the fresh side salad especially the honey mustard dressing. I would order this again, but there's so many other menu items I want to try too.

They have regular tables, and then there is a fun section where you can sit on the floor. Outdoor seating in the front and back too. The shop in the back is cool and has a nice variety of clothes, jewelry, books, and gifts. Lots of travel items to match the theme of the cafe. The desserts are homemade and so impressive! The pear Bundt cake was really moist and flavorful. I loved the peanut butter and chocolate pie that was vegan and gluten free and awesome. So delicious! The milkshakes are amazing! I had a boozy one and it was so smooth and easy to drink. They also have good cocktails. I enjoyed a margarita here. The coffees are fantastic! I loved my Thai iced coffee. The matchas are wonderful. I've had the matcha latte and the matcha freeze. I've loved everything I've had so far. Tasty bagels and eggs. The bagel and schmear hits the spot. Nice salads too. The pear and blue salad is delicious. The menu here is expansive and I look forward to coming back and trying new things. I definitely recommend coming here!

I figured the limited hours had something to do with the menu. Now that you all have gotten rid of the DJ table and added more chairs, it does feel more like a standard cafe! I'm looking forward to the menu changes. Thanks for your consideration! Previous review: I really enjoy their beverages and I keep coming back. That being said, there is almost no price transparency. The only prices they have on their menu are for the THC additions. I've mentioned this to the owner twice (he's a cool guy) but he has always sort of shrugged it off. It bothers me every time I'm in. Sometimes my latte with oat milk comes out different prices. Price transparency is so important for consistency . Not including the prices is a bit elitist, especially when the average drink is $6-$8. You should want folks to come in and comfortably order what they can afford. I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration. The drinks are good and like I said, I keep coming back but this has been a sticking point for me for a year plus.
