Crema's Take

Step into The Wormhole and you'll find yourself in a portal of nostalgia and creativity, where Star Wars memorabilia and a vintage-inspired atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for sipping their legendary house specialties like the Ghostly Trio latte. Their baristas—like Matt—take real pride in crafting inventive, espresso-forward drinks alongside some seriously chocolatey pastries, all while maintaining the kind of warm, welcoming energy that keeps people coming back as their favorite spot in the city. Whether you're grabbing a quick caffeine hit or settling in for a slow afternoon of people-watching, The Wormhole delivers both stellar drinks and that rare intangible thing: a space where you actually want to linger.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Wormhole Coffee has to be the hipster capital of Chicago. I felt like I walked right off a 1980s Venice beach boardwalk and into this coffee shop. There was a full scale model Delorean hanging in the back, vintage 80s movie posters lining the walls, and vintage chairs and…
