Ipsento 606
1813 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Ipsento 606 is a cozy neighborhood gathering spot where the cardamom rose latte and thoughtfully crafted teas shine, paired with excellent pastries and sandwiches that feel locally sourced and intentional. The space itself is genuinely inviting whether you're settling in solo with a book, meeting a friend, or working for hours—the kind of corner café that earns repeat visits through both its drinks and its unhurried, welcoming vibe. Just know that quality comes at a premium price here, but many find the ambiance and specialty drinks worth the splurge.”

Coffee is not worth the cost $$$ Ipsento used to be my favorite shop in the city until it became unaffordable under new management. I used to go everyday and love the ambiance but it seems the shop has become more focused on profit than the customer. I solely get iced coffee but after multiple price increases (currently $7+ which seems above market for a simple iced coffee) I can’t afford it anymore. It seems everyone is noticing, too. Dear management, we are hoping you reset to reasonable prices soon that align with the product.
Cutie little neighborhood spot with your typical coffee shop menu! The vibes in here are good whether you want to sit on your own and read, meet up with a friend to chat, or work remotely for the morning. Plenty of tables and the volume was neither too loud nor too quiet.
THE coziest corner. The cardamom rose latte and all their teas are fabulous. Also recommend the sandwiches and pastries. Perfect for a snowy day. ❄️
My local coffee spot. Best part - great coffee. The cortado is strong, balanced, and perfect. Could drink these all day long, except my heart would eventually explode... Worst part - people camp out here for hours and hours, so if you're planning to sit you might be out of luck. When the sun's shining though the adorable little park next door can't be beat, that's where you'll find me sipping my third or fourth (who's counting?) cortado with my face facing the sun. Pastries (donuts and scones and such) are solid. The afogato was well made and served nicely. They do cocktails, beer and wine, and those are yummy too. Service can be slow when they're busy - this isn't an assembly line, "get 'em out the door" kind of place. But in exchange you get great coffee. Worth it.
I loved my time at this coffee shop! Stopped by on a rainy day and got an iced latte and a donut. Goodness gracious it was the best mini donut I’ve had! It looked like it was from a local place I’m not sure which though. The coffee was so tasty and refreshing. I sat at the bar area and even read a few pages. It was noisy but it felt like movie background noise. Clearly a community favorite!
