Crema's Take
“Owens Famous Coffee & Provisions roasts with the philosophy that great beans deserve to shine, and they prove it by offering a free drink with every bag of beans you buy—a vote of confidence that extends to their meticulously crafted pour overs and seasonal creations like the Okinawa blueberry latte. The real revelation here is their homemade bagels, which have earned devoted fans who rank them among Chicago's best, and their willingness to experiment (flowers, tea lattes, chocolate bans) means there's something for both the coffee purist and the curious explorer. This is the kind of place where regulars become loyal for years because every detail, from the drinks to the pastries, carries that personal touch.”
What to expect
Known for their pour-over program, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Excellent pour overs, seasonal lattes and homemade bagels. Yes, bagels. Which are my new favorite bagels in the city. Just try it! (No photo cause everything was too tasty to wait.) Also the Jazz Age playlist was just a lovely, whimsical touch.
A lovely coffee shop serving good drinks and some lovely pastries. I enjoyed the mocha; it had a good touch of chocolate and complemented the coffee. I also liked the texture of the dark chocolate banana pistachio scone. It had a nice crust with a nice crumbly body.
This place has such a personal touch. I love all of their seasonal drinks like this summer Okinawa blueberry latte, and also love their classic coffee offerings. They sell flowers right now too, I got this handmade bouquet for a friend and the entire presentation felt special…
Bae is our favorite coffee shop in Chicago! I’m not a huge coffee girl, so I love to see so many tea & tea latte options on the menu! The disco tea was amazing I highly recommend. My husband loves coffee and says that Bae serves the best of the best! The pastries are delicious…
