Four Letter Word Coffee
3022 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This Chicago espresso destination puts coffee craftsmanship front and center, with a rotating selection of single-origin options and a manual machine that pulls some of the city's most acclaimed shots. The intimate space is thoughtfully designed and welcoming, though seating is wonderfully limited—perfect if you're seeking serious conversation or quiet focus rather than laptop sprawl. Knowledgeable baristas who genuinely care about your coffee experience make every visit feel like you're learning something new.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Excellent atmosphere, staff, and coffee! The employees were very friendly and eager to answer my questions about their coffees- I’d highly reccomend this shop to anybody looking for a coffee shop in Chicago!

Cozy small coffee shop with a manual espresso machine. Menu is small but very well executed, definitely one of the best espresso pulls I've had in a while. Seating inside is very limited, but there is a year-round walk up window. They unfortunately no longer do Turkish style…
