This place is perfection. Tucked away in a quiet pretty little residential corner. It has outdoor seating for nice days and great food and coffee on top of it. Spent hours reading and relaxing here.

The honey almond milk latte is divine. Try the bagel sandwich with a whole wheat bagel. Also the chicken sausage is awesome.

Perfect everything! Perfect neighborhood location, perfect variety & perfect staff! You owe yourself the treat of visiting. 😊

Come nightfall, this coffee shop transforms into a cocktail bar, and the wine, beer and cocktail lists are tightly edited (think classics such as the Corpse Reviver). Read more

All the breakfast stuff, but I’m a fan of the frittata sandwich, the chorizo breakfast and the quiche!

Fluffy cupcakes, both red velvet and buttermilk, along with the brownies, also passed our crew’s taste test. Read more

Best smoothie ever: the flamingo made with vanilla gelato, strawberries, & pink lemonade :)

The breakfast burrito was big and great, but the other portions are shitty and this clearly caters to yuppie assholes. Bloody Mary was a strange color with too much lime juice, too.

Staff is nice, but service was slow. Disappointing since I'm the only one here on a Saturday afternoon while the rest of the city is at the parade downtown... 30 min seems like long wait for a sammich

If you're drinking, get the Sangria. If you're recovering from drinking, try their coffee. Both are fabulous.

The breakfast Frittata sandwich is amazing, and the lunch sandwiches are also delicious!

Went during brunch rush before Bears game. It's an order and sit down place. Nothing to write home about but it gets the job done.

Counter service is dumb, too. Unless you're a home style diner or deli, lose the counter service.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place! Owner has ridiculously low health standards.

I am not sure what I was served but it was not French toast by any stretch of the imagination. Very disappointing.

A little overrated. Counter service is lame and the eggs don't come with toast. Overpriced and a bit too up its own ass
