Perfect place to go after going to see Amanda William's Refining Redlining project where she and others planted over 100,000 red tulips in the Washington Park Neighborhood. See 53rd and Prairie Avenue. I'm also intrigued by the Arts Incubator next door that opens their gallery Thursday to Saturday and has new exhibits every 3 months. The atmosphere here is great. I love the aesthetics of the wooden floor, exposed brick with a concrete wall with "Currency Exchange Cafe" painted on the back. Looks like they serve food and alcohol here as well. My Pumpkin Spice Latte came out with a perfect heart on it too.

Wanted to see what the 5 star hype was about. Ctrl Z doesn't disappoint. Try the Garfield Sunrise! It's fantastic iced on a hot day and has a great bite to it. Clean handicapped accessible bathroom with baby changing station

A+ for service! This croissant was fresh out of the oven 😘. Just a heads up: if you show up after 4:30 you can’t be served coffee due to the transition into happy hour, so I ended up at Starbucks 👎🏽. Happy hour review coming soon 🤗

Ever had pandan latte? If you haven't, you gotta come here! Worth the try (among offerings), I promise 😊 Entering the space, you feel it appreciates art and culture. It has a relaxed & cool vibe, plenty of seating/areas (with outlets) to study/work. Highly recommend ctrl Z ❤️

Love this place! And the vibes. The Pandan coffee is my fave. An open library of art related books chill music peaceful set up. What more can you ask for!

Very delicious smoothie, friendly and knowledgeable service. My personal issues were that it's not accessible, and there's no bathroom for customers.
