Necessary & Sufficient Coffee - Printers Row

★★★★3.9(306 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Necessary & Sufficient trades consistency for personality—regulars praise the vibe, weekend DJs, and specialty drinks like the Campfire Latte, but the 3.9 rating hints at uneven execution (some reviews mention the cortado doesn't meet traditional standards). If you're after a relaxed, social spot with decent coffee and don't mind occasional misses, it's worth a visit; if you're chasing precision espresso work, you'll likely be disappointed.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

The coffee is good, if I am in the area in the need for a coffee, definitely is a good choice. The cortado is not really a cortado, but we are in the US, so you need to approach your coffee with low standards. Keeping that in mind, the cortado is as good as it is going to get…
