A Cup of Joe Pilsen
1309 W 18th St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“A Cup Of Joe in Chicago brings a cozy, welcoming vibe perfect for settling in with your laptop or catching up with friends, bolstered by genuinely friendly staff and an inclusive atmosphere. Their creative specialty drinks like mazapan lattes and cold brew with vanilla-cinnamon cold foam show real ambition, though consistency seems to be a challenge—some visitors rave about their inventive sandwiches and thoughtful flavor combinations, while others have experienced poorly executed orders. If you catch them on a good day, the reasonable prices and fresh pastry selection make this a worthwhile neighborhood stop worth revisiting.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Got a Cold Brew with a vanilla, cinnamon cold foam. But it was not an easy choice, as they have so many great and fresh options. Staff was great, ambiance is inclusive, laptop and reading friendly. A lot of outlets to charge your devices. Stop by to get some work done of if you…
