The Lost Hours
5256 N Broadway, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked near the Berwyn Red Line in Edgewater, this cozy neighborhood gem has earned a devoted following with its playful espresso-forward menu—think creative seasonal specials like their praised PB&J latte—paired with delicious vegan pastries and matcha options in a vintage Chicago-inspired space. The owner's warm, name-remembering hospitality and inviting handmade atmosphere make it the kind of place regulars return to weekly, whether you're catching up with friends, settling in with a laptop, or just grabbing your reliable morning cup before work.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
