"Opened in January 2024 in Lincoln Park, this stylish corner cafe — run by Ukrainian couple Artur and Iryna Yuzvik — has kept long lines out the door more than a year after launch. The owners bring deep coffee experience from their hometown of Ternopil, where they opened two Karma Coffee locations and launched a roastery in 2016 that became the first in Ukraine permitted to export coffee to the U.S. The concept emphasizes thoughtfully crafted, caffeine-centric offerings and coffee culture, and the owners describe the cafe’s name as a term of endearment meaning “nightingale” in Ukrainian." - Lisa Shames
