So Lux Med Spa • July 31, 2013Of all the neighborhood cafés in Chicago, this one holds a special place in my heart. Try the "Pollo Diablo," and remember this it's cash only! (A stop by the ATM is worth it, promise).

Amy P. • January 23, 2013Best vanilla latte I've had. Delicious!

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!

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.

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.
