    Scone and coffee
    Megan E.

    It was good, it's close to my house, the scone was scrumptious, the coffee made me happy; what more do you need? I love that they have an area for the kids to play and there is plenty of seating. Next time I may grab a seat in the window to sun myself like a local cat.

    ASH & JESSE'S CHICAGO COFFEE CRAWL '25 Ranked #3 out of 15 Our first stop in our coffee crawl & only a 3 minute walk from our AirBnB, really could not get better than that. I got a Honey Cardamom latte and it was absolutely delicious. No complaints. 10/10. My friends got a Caramel latte, that she asked for it to be sweeter due to personal preference and my other friend (a self-proclaimed matcha connoisseur) got a matcha latte that she said was pretty good! Which can be a miss sometimes at coffee shops-- color & ratio was absolutely perfect. My partner got a Brown Sugar latte that was absolutely delectable. My partner and I got the Winston to share as well. Wow! The tomato jam was so yummy and for the sandwiches to be named after their pets is too cute. The staff was absolutely amazing. Truly the best part. Friendly and great conversation. The owner actually recommended us 'Side Practice'-- another great coffee shop that we ended up loving. We ended coming again on a whim because my friend was feeling lightheaded from not eating breakfast and we came in and ordered a bagel for her. Sadly we did so right before the kitchen closed, not knowing so, and they did so with no complaints or side eyes. Just a very kind staff and a great atmosphere overall.

    I wish I didn't come at the end of the day! The staff and setup made the cafe inviting. Easy place to set up a laptop and the kid play area is thoughtful. I enjoyed both my cardamom latte and the generously sized biscuit (kitchen closes a little earlier than the coffeebar). Would definitely recommend you stop by if you're looking for a place to get some work done or catch up with a friend near Irving Park.

    So nice to have a good coffee shop in neighborhood. The space was completely redone since last shop; bright with wonderfully simple and clean design. Friendly servers and great coffee. Of course, they have free WiFi and plenty of work tables. The owner apparently did most of the re-model himself; benches and high tables are basic, but fit in and are comfortable. There is a small play area for tots Thanks for reviving the neighborhood!

    This cafe has been in this location for a year. They make their syrups in house. As a parent, I appreciate that they created a children's nook in the cafe with books and toys so they can also enjoy the space. I had the lavender matcha latte with oat milk. The cafe is clean and bright inside. My children had fun and they've already asked to go again.

    Bacon egg and cheese
    Tara Lynn O.

    Just went for the first time today! Loved it. We got a coffee and then waited outside with our pup and they brought out a little treat for her. Bacon egg and cheese bagel was delicious! Loved the egg they had on it. So many ppl were coming in / out on a Saturday morning. They have a cute play area if you have kids. Will be back!

    Winston bagel sandwich
    Sarah M.

    Love!!! Excellent breakfast sandwiches. I had the Winston on an everything bagel and it was amazing!! Great atmosphere to get work done. They also have a cute play for little kids

    House made syrups and baked goods- not much else more I can ask for! So excited to see a new cafe in this Old Irving Park location. I got an iced cardamom latte which was divine. Service was excellent and the interior is bright, plenty of seating and an adorable light pink color. Love the Chicago flag decal on the wall.

    Yay for delicious coffee and treats in the neighborhood!
    Julia P.

    Super excited when I saw this was a coffee shop again and is actually open! Even more excited when I stepped into such a welcoming and clean space with super friendly service! They have baked goods made in house (super delicious) and a variety of coffees and teas. I am excited to visit here regularly!

    Oat milk Cortado and blackberry torte.

    First of all, the owners are so nice! Every baked good I've had has been amazing and they make them in house. And they use coffee from Magnifico which I love. Cortados are definitely a hit and miss at many places depending on the barista but I had a hit today. Oat milk Cortado and blackberry torte so yummy!

    Coffee and the Andy breakfast sandwich!

    Our favorite bagel spot! The Andy is unstoppable. Great craft coffee and house made pastries! Great place to study and hang out!

    The friendly proprietor!

There are a few…read morethings that I look out for when visiting a new shop (grinders, espresso machine, house-made syrups, ease of ordering/POP layout, seating...etc.). My fiancé and I stopped in as soon as they opened to grab some fuel for our roadtrip out of town. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door, bright and early at 6:30am. The baristas were super friendly. The atmosphere is nice and bright. Light wood tones and soft colors. Cute merch, too. The baked goods counter looked divine and wanted to purchase everything, but I stuck with a slice of banana bread. SOOOO GOOD. It was fresh, moist, and had the right balance of flavor between the banana and chocolate chips. Sometimes it gets too chocolatey, but the banana flavor was first and foremost. We ordered a drip coffee and a large iced vanilla latte with an extra shot. The drip coffee was fresh and hot with a nice flavor profile. The espresso used in the latte was fresh, bright, and slightly nutty. They have a La Marzocco, and you can usually expect pretty good espresso from those machines. I believe the vanilla was house-made, so bonus points for that. All things that I personally love in a latte! There was also a parking lot, so we didn't have to worry about street parking. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! 10/10 recommend.

On this particular weekday morning, they had a great looking selection of donuts I sadly resisted, along with some other pastries. My boyfriend had the oatmeal cookie latte and I got the ginger snap latte. While tasty, the coffee flavor itself wasn't super strong, but overall the drinks were yummy. The vibe in here is quaint and bright, with different seating options. Would be a good spot to work from! Due to its convenient location and parking lot, I will definitely visit again!

I wanted to take more pictures of the location itself, but it was bustling so I didn't want to bother others.

They have a printer you can use, a work meeting space in the back corner away from the noises, and a clean background too. But the main area still gives a great coffee shop vibe, with outlets for laptops. Also, the service is great! The food was really good, I loved the chocolate croissant. It was melting all over my hand with how much chocolate it offered. The cold brew was great as well, it was a great boost after an outdoor session. I did pull out my laptop to work on stuff, I do suggest either your own internet or if you have xfinity, use the hotspot. Their WiFi is ok for work and such, but due to the business it does slow down a bit, which is an average experience. Overall, 5/5! Great location, great team, great food. Will be back!

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.

Bacon, soft scrambled eggs, caramelized onions and sriracha...delicious! For my pastry, I chose the Guava Cheese Bread. It's like a bigger and denser version of pao de queijo.
