    Great coffee spot in Irving Park! Went for a visit after pickleball and they had a great variety of drinks, food, and even merch! The shop is small but they make the vibes really homey. Also, they have seating outside for sunny days. I got the horchata latte and it was really good! We sat down and talked too so great spot to talk and yap. But the drink was so good I finished it before we got done talking! Service was great too and the baristas were very polite and answered my questions especially as this was my first visit. 5/5 we'll visit again soon!

    The breakfast burritos area unreal. Absolutely delicious!! The staff was kind. I wasn't a huge fan of the coffee but I didn't care. The burrito was the star. Get the burritos.

    Came here for something sweet and found exactly that! I got to try their seasonal Strawberry Passionfruit refresher and was not disappointed. Perfect blend of both their sweetness. The cafe is super cute and cozy feeling. Abundance of art on the walls and I love the plants decorated throughout! The barista was super nice and my drink was ready like that! Would love to come back again

    Cafe Urbano is such a cozy little spot in Irving Park! I got the chilaquiles with a side of breakfast potatoes, and everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the avocado and crema on top tied everything together nicely. My only small gripe was that the tortilla chips got a bit soggy from the sauce -- I wish they stayed a little crunchier for that extra texture. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned though, and definitely made up for it! I also grabbed an iced latte, which was smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. Between the great coffee, chill atmosphere, and friendly service, I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

    Cool spot tucked into the neighborhood definitely worth checking out. I stopped in and grabbed the Maxwell burrito, a red eye coffee, and one of their donuts, and all three hit the spot in their own way. The burrito was hearty and flavorful, with that perfect mix of chorizo and peppers that gave it a little kick without overpowering everything else. Great portion size too filling but not overly heavy. The red eye coffee was smooth and strong, just what I needed to jumpstart the day. I appreciated that it wasn't bitter or burnt like some places can get with stronger brews. Service was patient and friendly I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu this place has a great local feel with quality food and drinks.

    Carnitas Breakfast Burrito

    Cozy Service Carnitas Breakfast Burrito Zero complaints. Also a great coffee shop to work from home.

    I used to live by here but it's been a few years since my last visit. There's free wifi but no free parking on Elston! Based on my interaction and watching interactions with other customers, the barista that day seemed uninterested in helping the customer decide what to order. They have a variety of drinks, food items, and carry Filipino baked goodies from Umaga bakery. I had a chai latte while my husband had the horchata latte. I also got the nutella panini for my daughter. I appreciate that they had games, crayons, and coloring books that we could use while we were there.

    If you're looking for a full service café, and I do mean full service with freshly made menu items I was suggest this place. This place has been on my list for a little bit and I decided to stop by. They have an array of items, including vegan options, donuts and pastries, and of course, coffee. I got a small iced Horchata latte. It is super good! It's not too sweet and carries that or horchata flavor that I love. The customer service is great, the barista Jose to engage with me even though he was kind of busy. The establishment sells some dope artwork from local artists, which is super cool! They have a lot of seating, but the place is on the smaller side.

    This little corner cafe was awesome. THE Maxwell Street breakfast burrito was insane & so filling. The chilaquiles were so flavorful! To drink, we got the Horchata Latte and Lavender Lemonade. Let me tell you, usually Horchata lattes are a hit or miss at other places but this one hit the spot. That Lavender Lemonade was so refreshing. Just perfect for this Chicago heat/humidity we got going on.

    Looking for a local coffee shop to meet some friends and this one popped up on my maps app. It was only a little walk from where we we're staying so we gave it a go. Nice location, comfortable atmosphere, fresh pastries, smooth coffee and a good bfast/lunch menu. We had the bfast burrito to split and a couple lattes, which were fresh and enjoyable. The only downside was the price tag hit $30, which is a bit steep for a daily visit, but certainly reasonable for a little holiday brunch. Overall, staff was friendly, location welcoming and offerings well done. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby.

    Love this spot! Great coffee and food. They have an outdoor area and room inside. It's perfect for brunch or breakfast. They have a ton of vegan and veggie options which was nice. Will definitely be back!

The shop is sparsely decorated but seems to be a real staple in the community, which felt special to visit as an outsider. My friend and I both ordered egg and goat cheese bagel sandwiches. I ordered an iced lavender matcha and my friend ordered a cappuccino. The sandwiches were made with boiled eggs, which felt extremely odd. The egg type was not clarified on the menu, but I feel like for a breakfast sandwich to include a boiled egg instead of a traditional fried or scrambled egg, that should be disclosed to customers with some sort of expectations. My friend said the cappuccino was "just like every other cappuccino I've ever had." The lavender matcha really just tasted like a regular matcha. It was good but not much lavender flavor! Our food also took a bit to come out, despite the coffee shop being empty (only one other person already dining when we came in) and what we ordered. It looked like there were only two workers. I personally wouldn't visit Sipping Turtle Cafe again, unfortunately. There are a lot of other great options around that satisfy me more.

I got a creamsicle iced something or another and it was soooo yummy. My boyfriend was very jazzed for a geisha coffee pour over and drank it with his pinky up of course because, fancy. The ambiance was PHENOMMMM truly can't get over the vibe. Every detail inside this place was so carefully curated and well thought out, it was stunning.

Architecturally simple, modern, and bright with tons of seating! The drink menu gives you the flexibility to order some classics or specialty drinks and even more niche options for the true coffee connoisseurs. They have a bunch of pastries that they also made in-house. I love that their theme is "made by humans". My Flat White was balanced, creamy, and smooth. Both pastries we got were good tries but the Ube Caramel Delight was more worth it! A nice combination of flaky pastry, ube cream, and caramel clusters. Hands down, Milli is going into my top 10 coffee shops list!
