    Coffee+ donut in a bag
    Grant A.

    Was in the area so came in for coffee one morning. I should add still have a few more episodes to go of Twin Peaks before I finish the series. I got a coffee, not black as the night but with raspberry syrup. And added some half & half. Got a donut as well. Way down on Armitage there's a donut shop called Beacon where they get their donuts from. Coffee kept me alert. Donut nourished me.

    Worth 5 stars for the umami mushroom cappuccino alone!!!! I don't usually like sweet coffee drinks so this is perfect.

    Ronit maple cayenne

    Small coffee shop on Armitage. I tried the Ronit maple cayenne latte which was delightful. There is no food but they had a selection of donuts. There is free wifi available and for seating they have a bar set up and two tables. There were a lot of people coming in and out so it's definitely a friendly neighborhood coffee shop.

    Raspberry Drip And Taos Bar

    Came to get breakfast at this appropriately named coffee bar. Damn Fine Coffee is certainly correct. It has kind of a small menu, but they kick ass with all the selections. Funky cool atmosphere. The coffee isn't cheap but not extremely pricy like at a few places. An okay selection of cold and hot brews. It's about $4 for one of the flavored drip coffees. The Raspberry Drip has flavoring, and it doesn't taste like chemical fakeness. Get it cold or hot, or both. Just not that much besides coffee. A few pastries and bites. There's the Taos Baked Bars for about $2 each. Fun hipness in every cup. It has several non dairy milks. There's a few vegan snack bars and whatever.

    Popped into Damn Fine Coffee Bar while I was exploring the neighborhood. For a Saturday afternoon, they were packed with patrons. I had fast service, it was clean and the staff were friendly. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. Appropriately named. I would definitely stop in again.

    a donut and a cup of coffee

    A pro yet very friendly neighborhood coffee shop that serves good coffee and pastries. They don't roast their own beans but they've got a good selection of beans and a pro machine. We got a regular latte and a donut and really liked them. The latte was nutty, balanced and warm. Foam was slightly thick but the taste was impressive. The donut was very fluffy and yummy - not sure if they made them in house but I would recommend them!

    Good coffee and pastries to eat in or take out I like the lavender , vanilla and mocha latte

    I visited this place six years ago and still think about it daily. What a little gem, everything was delicious. Even the vibes in the bathroom are haunting and beautiful. I can't wait to get back to Chicago for another visit. RIP David Lynch, your influence goes far beyond the realm of film.

    The bathroom picture hahaha

    This is a Twin Peaks themed cafe, but the coffee is 10/10!!! I had the pistachio latte and Coral was not only friendly and welcoming, but made the coffee so incredibly well!

    No remanence of the donut!

    Great spot down the street from my airbnb. Beautiful neighborhood to walk through in the summer of June 24'. Im on tour and have a show later today and couldn't have found a better experience. I also tried the chocolate caramel donut and it will be on my mind for awhile. Server was really chill as well.

    Lovely communal space.

    Great price and atmosphere. I stopped in for a late afternoon cortado and it did not disappoint. Pastries are available but I want there until 4 and missed them. Lots of electric available so you can sit and work while enjoying your coffee. Dog friendly! There are even treats and water available by the front door. Staff is friendly. I will return.

    Great coffee! I ordered a vanilla oat milk latte. It was by far one of the smoothest lattes I've ever had. And I've certainly Lu had my share. The menu is small. The place was a little quiet and sterile for my liking. But the coffee was definitely great.

    The Iman.
    Natasha S.

    Another great coffee shop in Chicago! The Iman - Cardamon, Vanilla, Ginger & Triforce Espresso The espresso and flavors together are so delicious! Added bonus, all profits of this drink are donated to Inner-City Muslim Action Network. The service was excellent. Prices reasonable. Again, no seating inside except for counter at the window. Mostly just order and grab to go!

    They make love out of coffee. Nice small cafe proudly offering HALFWIT coffee. I love their 8 ounce serving cups.

    the cayenne latte & chocolate glazed donut was bomb, had some caramel drizzle on top. Definitely worth the stop!

    Haven't been here in years (2018?). Still a great hang with couches for catching up with friends…read moreand socializing. Staff was friendly and it's always a nice little luxury to get a coffee not made from home in this economy! I had the vanilla bean latte, half sweet, oat milk And my friend had the koopa troopa, half sweet, oat milk They've had the same menu a long time so it's tried and true and then their seasonal offerings as well! Love this place. Bit of nostalgia for a different time. I remember the cereal bar. Now that I've made myself sound about a million years old it's time to sign off! Go catch up with friends here

    One of my favorite coffee shops! It's almost always busy, so I wouldn't recommend coming if loud…read moreenvironments aren't your thing, but I absolutely love the vibe here. The decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

    Cozy and huge coffee shop! They have my beloved oat milk for lattes. And tons of donuts, cakes,…read morecroissants, cheesecakes and also custard and pies! And cookies and danishes and muffins. Oh my! The pies kind of look like homemade individual sized pizza pockets with either spinach, chicken, veggie or zatar. They're on the bottom shelf in the picture. All kinds of pastries from savory to sweet. I was eyeing the chicken pie for a future visit during lunchtime. If you want to work on your laptop, the free WIFI is good and there are charge cord plugs all along the wall. I like how spacious and bright it is inside, not to mention the high ceilings. When I get cabin fever it's nice to "escape" to a clean and friendly location like this.

    Qamaria is quite literally tucked away in Albany Park so I was shocked to see the ginormous space…read morewhen I entered. There's seating for probably 50 people, if not more, and it's open till midnight most days. This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.
