Caffè Umbria
2545 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a striking industrial space, Caffe Umbria draws devoted regulars from across Chicago who make the drive specifically for their exceptional cortados and thoughtfully sourced espresso—the kind of place that rewards both quick caffeine runs and lingering afternoons with a laptop. Beyond the impeccable coffee, their pastries and specialty drinks like the honey oat latte shine, all served in an atmosphere so welcoming and architecturally appealing that it naturally becomes a neighborhood gathering spot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

New to the area and decided to check out this cafe— so worth it! I got a chocolate croissant and a medium mocha, both delicious. It’s difficult to see online what food they offer, so I also took some pictures of the snack selection :)
This place is unlike any coffee place I've been too. If I had a "remote/work on my laptop job", this would be my 2nd place of residents. The honey oat latte was very good, but the house blend caffe latte was top notch. I wish they made a Cologne or fabric softener the way this…
