Everything! The coffee, food, and the people! Personally I love their iced coffee because it's all cold-brewed and the breakfast tacos are awesome for a quick bite. Highly recommend this place.
Excellent coffee, hot or iced, very efficient before the train. Located right in the station, and staff is good at moving the line through. Breakfast tacos are tasty, cheap and fast.
Lauren DrogosSeptember 9, 2015The vegan date bar is incredible. Please not I am not a vegan. It tastes like pure buttery goodness. Wifi pw is cucumber80
One of the best places to test your trivia mettle early in the morning: if you get their daily trivia right, you get $.25 off your drink. Eco friendly, and who doesn't like frequent buyer cards?
Cole KennedyAugust 7, 2017Cozy little café tucked under the Sheridan CTA stop. Great coffee and the breakfast tacos are the perfect tasty snack.
Dane BurnsSeptember 27, 2013Love this place! One of the few coffee shops in the area. Great coffee is served here, and the staff is super friendly.
Roy Belzer IVMarch 2, 2015I absolutely LOVE this place! Great staff and a delicious menu. My favorite item is the chicken pesto sandwich.
Everything about this place is great. Great drinks, very yummy food, and the friendliest staff around. Try the southwest panino - delicious.
The wifi is blazing fast. So much better than Starbucks or Dollop a few blocks away. Super nice baristas too!!
The specialty espressos are to die for, and the bakery items are delicious
Megan LNovember 17, 2013The chai is great. Was pleasantly surprised here after getting used to the bland stuff at Starbucks.
They have Almond Milk here! Be sure to get the a frequent buyers card!
Hopefully jeffs there when you are. Best staff member, his laid back and jolly demeanor will surely brighten your day
Meredith MarshApril 20, 2013iced chai actually brewed in my cup. impressive, but beware the gritty bits at the end.
Good strong coffee. Scones are always fresh and really fluffy too.
Screw Starbucks. Get your morning fix here before getting on the train.
Don't depend on the wifi. These guys have a cheap router that doesn't stay up.
They have a nice variety of loose leaf teas. You'll only need one bag instead of two for a large cup.
this place is typically great.. but how come when I order a medium latte I basically get the size of a small in a bigger cup? rude.

"I always got a Gibraltar but always wanted more. I started ordering a medium latte with an extra extraction. Very similar in taste and you get a LOT more. Makes me so happy!!!"

"Great coffee (Intellegentisa) and the black bean burgers are delicious. Great little artsy cafe hang out, but be warned- no wifi at lunch because the place gets packed!"
