Prequel

It’s a cute little cafe! It’s clearly popular, it was full of people on Saturday late morning. They don’t have traditional cafe offerings (no caramel syrup) but the cardamom latte was tasty! And so was the bagel breakfast sandwich which was a tiny bit of bread with plenty of cream cheese and a big slice of avocado! Yay! They have a lot of seating but it was full so grab a seat when you can! It’s in a good spot in their neighborhood too but be careful of the big front step on your way out 😊

One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. Every time I am in the city, it is one of the places I always come back to. They have really great matcha, and the owners are wonderful people.

The coffee here is rich and flavorful. Their latte is smooth and perfectly balanced. The sandwich is fresh and tasty too. Cozy place to relax and enjoy.

Cute modern space with great coffee, pastries, and breakfast/cafe fare. The walls are lined with fun art (available for sale). What to get: cardamom brown sugar latte, honey cinnamon latte, avocado toast (with or without egg). I like bold but smooth coffee and they have that. The avocado toast was well-seasoned and beautifully assembled with a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg (see photo). I'll be back to try more coffee/tea drinks and pastries.

I stopped here with my friends during our trip to Chicago, and it was amazing! The food was delicious. We got the bagel with cream cheese, the deluxe breakfast sandwich, a muffin, a cookie, and the turkey sandwich, and they were all delicious! The drinks were the perfect way to warm up on a rainy morning. I had the London Fog and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was delightful, and I’ve absolutely come back here again!
