If one is looking for straight coffee instead of "fru fru" stuff with syrups and all, this is the place to go, they excel at this. On our visit, they had a menu with no less than seven offerings for pourover, with a variety of origins and processing. Using Origami drippers (similar to V60), the baristas will carefully craft your cup to perfection. Our party sampled four of the offerings on our visit, and they were all outstanding. If espresso is your thing, there's only one on offer, Reprise's Space Flower espresso, a more traditional espresso but with a fruity twist, it was satisfying as a straight shot, but if you're looking for a distinctly third wave or highly fruity shot, this isn't it. I'd love for them to pull some of the pourover coffees as espresso, but alas. Bottom line, this was a great visit with some wonderful coffee. Highly recommended if you're in the area, and almost mandatory if you're a big pourover fan.

Checked out this combination of a bicycle shop and coffee shop that has a few locations, including…read morethis one on Lawrence Avenue. Heritage Outpost has a small but simple menu. It has mostly coffee but there's also smoothies and teas. Expensive though even for around here. There's not a whole lot of seating, so it's to go for most people. Best thing is the location, inside a classy apartment building. It's located just inside the lobby. The place is pretty cramped and there's not much as far as seating. Has a ledge with a few chairs. It's about $3 for a Macchiato. This was only a small amount of espresso but it packed a punch. Has a few cookies and stuff, but all of these contain dairy. There's also a few hydration gel packs for bicycling and exercise. Good enough to come back to again. It's more expensive than the average coffee shop, which is the only bad thing about it. This is a good place for those who are active, whether that's bicycling or whatever.

Highly encourage your patronage and support of Stir Friday Night, longest running Asian American comedy troupe for over 30 years, now led by the talented and devoted director, Jonathan Lee-Rey. Famous alumni include Steven Yuen, Danny Pudi, Suzy Nakamura and many others. Plenty of tables, lounge areas to relax and enjoy a bite and drink etc. Metered and valet parking available.

I've been on a search for great Chicago- based coffee roasters and Factotum hit the spot…read more I shared a pour over, mocha, and cortado and each were excellent. I do a daily pour over at home and plan to come back for some beans they sell- it's hard to find a great light roast coffee at other shops in the city. The space is a bit weird- industrial and not very cozy. I wouldn't come here to get some work done or a first date, but it's fine as a coffee shop to sit down, has plenty of seating spaces inside. Kind of like a food court if that makes sense. Barista was very nice and knew her coffees very well.

While City Skyline makes a respectable cup of coffee, latte in my case, it's the vibe that will…read morehave me coming back. City skyline has a ton of aviation-related memorabilia, including bona-fide airplane seats and a bulkhead, complete with overhead compartments. I was even temped to buckle my seatbelt for the completeness of the experience, but felt that if there was 'turbulence' this was perhaps the only case where I *wouldn't* want my seatbelt fastened. Together with the aforementioned, the vibe is comfy, and not a bad spot to spend an hour or two. The latte I ordered was good. It wasn't overly sweet, and had great flavor. A latte lover would likely get more enjoyment out of it, compared to someone like me, who like their coffee industrial strength with the bitterness to go with it. The prices are fair - not the cheapest ever, but without the gut punch of competitors. The service is great. It is polite and fast. Point also for being mindful of a person experiencing a mental health condition outside, and locking the door that they do not create a severe disruption. Final verdict: The coffee is very good, but the cozy, aviation vibe is the real selling point! Would recommend?: Yes, especially to av-geeks. Would return?: Yes, especially when I get the itch to simulate flying somewhere, only without delays, TSA, or any of the discombobulation related to airports and flying.

On top of that, I finally recovered from sickness and was ready for some quality time to spend with myself. I decided to visit the coffeeshop after a wellness check and it was just one-bus away (CTA 56 Milwaukee). 100% of profits supports mental health here at "Sip of Hope" and I've been paying attention to my own since I became a mom of 2 boys. Therefore, I'm glad I could be part of this while enjoying my lavender latte and blueberry lemon scone. I found the prices of items reasonable for the city standard. Plenty of outlets could be located in almost every seat and that was definitely a huge plus for me! With that said, I would like to be here as often as I can, but for the time being, I am hopeful to patronize "Sip of Hope" once more when I am able.
