    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.

    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?

    Cozy little café tucked under the Sheridan CTA stop. Great coffee and the breakfast tacos are the perfect tasty snack.

    The wifi is blazing fast. So much better than Starbucks or Dollop a few blocks away. Super nice baristas too!!

    They have a nice variety of loose leaf teas. You'll only need one bag instead of two for a large cup.
