Slightly Toasted
22 N Clinton, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Slightly Toasted is a whiskey-focused bar that doubles as a thoughtful coffee and brunch destination, making it equally at home for a morning pastry or an after-work bourbon exploration with knowledgeable staff. The dimly lit, intimate space tucked in an office building feels like a local secret where creativity shines through both their specialty cocktails and carefully curated drink menu, earning genuine devotion from regulars who appreciate the thoughtful curation over flashy trends. Whether you're settling in for a first date over a chicken sandwich or diving deep into barrel picks with a whiskey enthusiast, the attentive service and impressive range of choices make it worth the late opener hours.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late.
