Stina P. • December 29, 2013this not so hidden spot is authentic and spunky. i could eat breakfast, lunch, cafe, & dinner here for the rest of my life. snag a free lu or la pin at the front and order the beet bruschetta

Knick B. • January 19, 2018If you’re unfamiliar with the place, check out all floors! Something to see on every one. Also, great place to just set up camp and study. Don’t forget about the cafe in the back, great americanos.

Amy G. • September 30, 2018The successor to Miko’s Flipside, this creative cafe makes it all from scratch, including house made sodas and baked goods. Love their red chimichurri scramble, grilled cheese, and luscious BLT.

Scott F. • March 27, 2021Love the people. Love the coffee. Love the pastries.

Mike Z. • September 16, 2017Great little third wave shop. They made me a flat white even though it wasn't on the menu. Baristas were extremely friendly and accommodating. If I lived around here I'd probably come in every day.

Michael J. • March 17, 2015Without a doubt, the best Latte in the city!

John K. • May 10, 2015Fantastic coffee place but very limited seating with people on their computers or just hanging out. Waves of people come and go and consistently busy on the weekends. Get the vanilla latte!

Scott Kleinberg • April 28, 2013Small spot but usually a few tables. They keep it simple here, and it works. I recommend the latte for here - comes in a ceramic mug and feels like home.

AV • March 26, 2017The iced mocha is amazing, has to be the best in the city. The coffee is top notch. Good wifi, decent seating space, welcoming if you are looking for a place to sit down and work.

Sofia A. • November 12, 2023it has THE cake, perfect glorious chocolate cake. The hash browns are really good

Lena D. • December 2, 2019The food is authentic and amazing. We've been coming here for years and it only gets better. The service is personal and warm. We live in the NW suburbs and the drive is an hour long. Totally worth.

Craig W. • August 14, 2022Coffee is really good. Patio out back is a nice surprise. Great place for brunch with some friends. Breakfast and lunch food 🤤. You’ll be back again and again.

Evelyn J. • March 17, 2013Cute cozy little place to eat :)

Julianne O. • November 12, 2018Amazing seasonal hot mule apple cider!! They have a ton of great events and the mission of the organization is even better (face to face communication, WiFi free zones, etc).
