The Center of Order and Experimentation

A stunning little hidden gem. Coffee, stationary, and goods from local makers? I am in love. Get a latte, some pencils, and spend your afternoon doodling away...

We visited the store to shop for some clothes and also to get to a sale by Martha's Mae. The store is awesome. Beautiful items from pottery to pens and everything in between. We have had coffe and pastries here before everything was very good and fresh. Prices are not that bad however it is on the high end.

Definitely a cute gift shop carrying some local and/or small batch brands, while still showcasing some more popular ones like pencil. There is a small food section as well as an area with clothing. Lots and lots of interesting and realistic candles and other trinkets. The not so good: coffee, no pastries to go with coffee (nor even cookies), no actual sitting. I wouldn’t tag it as coffee shop in Google.

Walked into this establishment because google finally is showing this when searching “coffee”! I live in the neighborhood and so excited to know about this! Tried the smoky bear latte with one less pump and it is amazing!!!!!! The place is so cute and has a pop up vintage shop in the back! The staff and manager is awesome. My new neighborhood coffee shop!

Fun coffee shop that doubles as an artistic knickknack store. Their selections of houseware and notepads and snacks are perfect for gifts and home decorations. Smokey Bear Latte was a standout drink with hints of cardamom and honey

Best strawberry matcha I had during my visit to Chicago. Very fairly priced drinks. Nice atmosphere but definitely a shop that serves drinks and not a place to hang out and study/work.

Museum shop like atmosphere with great unique selection of goods; from spaghetti bolognese shaped candles to artistic Japanese (Kaweco) pens. Yes, they also sell coffee where you could sip at their patio in the back.

Can’t recommend this spot enough! My girlfriend wanted to try a new drink and got something she usually wouldn’t. One of the employees overheard her saying that it wasn’t really for her. The employee offered to make her a brand new drink. So unbelievably nice and kind. Not to mention the shop is filled with super unique art and other pieces available for sale.
