The Common Cup
1501 W Morse Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“The Common Cup has nailed the "third space" formula with genuinely warm baristas (seriously, regulars rave about the mustache-and-ponytail guy) and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to camp out for hours with your laptop and a pour over. Their house-roasted Metric beans shine in espresso-focused drinks, and the fresh pastries—especially those almond croissants—pair perfectly with whatever you order. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where the vibe and hospitality matter just as much as the coffee itself.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

I’m always looking for a great croissant today. I had almond tomorrow. I’ll try the butter. I’m sure they do other drinks very well. My favorite is a large drip with two shots of espresso. Was that you can tell if the coffee is good and the coffee here is excellent.
