Great spot! Very fast, and friendly service! It's also a very inclusive spot with a uni-sex bathroom! I love to see that some cafes are moving forward! The cold-brew I ordered was next level! I will be returning here during my weekly trips to Chicago!

Cheap and delicious cafe! It’s definitely one of those hodge podge looking cafes, but the food is super good, and all homemade. And there are lots of vegan options! I’m not sure what brand of coffee they roast, but I’ve never been disappointed.

My favorite coffee shop in West Town! Everyone who works here is super friendly. The drinks and food are good, surprisingly tasty lentil soup. The one time I forgot my headphones I enjoyed the music, kind of hipster light. It does fill up quickly, so if you arrive after 2pm on a Saturday or Sunday, be prepared for no free tables.

Very quick counter service. The coffee was incredible. Among the best tasting drip coffee I've ever had. The American was great too. Excellent vegan doughnuts and a nice bunch of ripe bananas. It looked like the place was mostly patronized by locals with laptops when I visited on a Saturday mid-morning. It's just across the street from WHISK so it's a perfect place to sit and drink coffee while waiting for your table to be ready.

Super friendly staff. Great veggie and vegan options for food and drinks/coffee (soy, almond & coconut milk options). Never really crowded. Good spot to get some work done, wifi is reliable with plenty of outlets around.

If you are looking for good coffee, and a relaxing place to enjoy it, this is a good option. It's simply decorated, baristas are very nice, and you will feel cozy enough to want to come back. Their baked goods selection is surprisingly yummy too, definitely worth checking out.

I like this spot. Friendly staff and good place to get some work done. My one criticism is they BLAST the music. Jazz on Volume Max. Want to come in and quietly read your book? Bring your ear plugs.

The seats scratch your thighs if you're wearing shorts and most tables are lopsided, but I suppose it's part of the quirk of it. I must have gotten there late because they did not have a lot of their menu items, but what I did get was alright, given that it's not what I wanted but was starved. I enjoyed the hibiscus tea, the music, and the lava lamps. Loved the lava lamps!
