Crema's Take

“Tucked into a Chicago building lobby, this intimate espresso bar excels at the classics while surprising you with creative touches—think brown sugar cinnamon lattes and their signature Caffè al Peppe, a milky, foamy drink that regulars rave about. The tiny space forces a natural slowdown; even on a quick grab, you'll find yourself lingering over expertly pulled shots and house-made flavored syrups that elevate each cup. Friday specials and thoughtful tweaks like honey syrup options show staff who genuinely care about getting your drink exactly right.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu.

I had the Caffè al Peppe and my boyfriend got a caramel latte. Both were really good! I don’t remember the exact ingredients of the Caffè al Peppe, but it was milky, with foam similar to a latte, a hint of spice (like pepper), and a nice touch of espresso bitterness, really…

Pretty small cafe right next to the river. They have some high chairs inside and two or three more tables outside, but overall, this is a grab and go kind of cafe because they are very limited seats. Got the ice vanilla latte, and it was really good. I could tell that the coffee…
