If you LOVE flavored lattes, then this is your mecca! Ask for 1/2 syrup and you'll hit the balance of satisfying your sweet tooth but also still tasting the espresso :)

Ask to see the monthly special charts. March is my favorite. They will mix up any combo you can dream of!

Italian soda. Try it with different flavors. Orange and Vanilla with some half and half is a creamsickle.

Huge selection of coffees & teas, great for gifts. Coffee bar but no seats & not the friendliest vibe.

The selection of coffee (and tea, if that's your speed) is absurdly good, and the iced coffee is even better.

Came into for a cup of coffee. Awrsome wall to wall teas and coffees. Truly Heaven on earth!

Don't forget the tea! I keep our collection of full leaf teas stocked. A sampling: Sencha, Czarina Samovar, Black Vanilla, Leung Ching, Gen Mai Cha, various breakfast teas. Also equipment.

If you want a good cup of coffee or tea and can't stick around to drink it, head here above all others. If you want to sit down, head to Kickstand, Argo or Intelligentsia.

An enormous amount of tea and coffee. You cans buy it to take with you or they'll make it there for you.

In addition to Coffee and Tea, they have a fair number of spices.

Every day they offer 3-4 varieties of drip coffee and rotate them daily from a selection of over 30 varieties - and, all for a buck. Great deal for great coffee

This place is amazing. Delicious affordable teas and the best pumpkin latter I've ever had.

Check out the pic in the window of Laura Palmer from cult classic 90s David Lynch series, Twin Peaks!

Cold brew in the summer is delicious rocket fuel.

Try the Red Latte. It has a black tea flavor to it

Everything you want, nothing you don't.

Great selection!! Too much flavored coffee though :-/

Coffee is some of the best in Chicago. Flavores of the day for both coffee and tea.

Smell the beans to see which one you want to try.

Decaf that doesn't taste like warm water that's been sitting in a plastic bottle all day in your car. The staff rocks my socks, and local business rules.

They have a bacon latte
