Elijah OlsonOctober 5, 2016I have been to over 30 coffee shops in Chicago and this is my favorite by far. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and fair prices. It's great for getting work done thanks to the great wifi. Go here!
Michelle StarkeyFebruary 19, 2016This place is basically just a big living room, comfy couches & chairs galore with an amazing food selection. hands down my favorite place in the area to grab a quick pastry bite or a coffee.
Steph TaylorFebruary 6, 2016I always get one of their Italian sodas. Try the raspberry with lemon. Filter is a great, open space to get work done, but come equipped with a hotspot, the wifi is often on the fritz.
Kristina NielsenSeptember 2, 2014The Service there is really good - they are so kind. Are you a student and need a place to study you should go to filter it's a perfect environment to study. Their lattes are good just like their food
Alexandros PlexidasDecember 5, 2014As someone said already, here u can find the highest Mac:PC ratio in town. I think we were the only ones not working in a laptop there. Coffee is good, though & the place has a cozy and relaxing mood
Evelyn OrozcoNovember 19, 2014recommend the Americano ☕️☕️☕️👌 the food here is pretty good also . Great place , good atmosphere .Starbucks move to the middle of the block 🚫.
Aubre Andrus LLCAugust 28, 2012Here's your rare combination of awesome retro ambiance, good coffee, good music, and a huge food menu. The one problem: the wifi is limited to 2 hours! Ask for a code and you can get another two.
VAugust 4, 2015Vibe is very unique. A lot of space for everyone. My fav drink is chai latter. Bathrooms walls are super creative.
The salmon burger is awesome, and they roast their own coffee. Very friendly staff. Check out the salon up the street too. G Spot Hair Design
ShariOctober 14, 2014Sweet Potato Fries 💜 and Enough noise that you don't feel super awkward having a conversation!
Maureen PenlandJuly 8, 2014Hipster and eclectic hangout. Coffee is amazing try the caramel latte with soy or almond milk you won't be disappointed!
Raven JohnsonFebruary 27, 2014The only independent coffee shop I'd ever come back to... though it's actually an actual café, not a coffee shop. They do have a varied selection of tea, however - I believe the tea is fully homemade.- Pam P.February 11, 2015There is a lot of seating here, and of various types. Tables with chairs as well as couches and comfy armchairs.
Stephen LuoOctober 21, 2013Don't take credit card, they use Level Up, pretty much like Starbucks app. Awesome coffee shop and walk place!
Music playlist is so good! Lots of room to read, work, or just enjoy a conversation.
Great place to sit and get work done or have meetings. Spacious and really cool artwork that's updated just about every month
JohnJanuary 11, 2014You can sit up front and watch people repeatedly try to use the wrong entrance. Best viewing on weekends.
Great coffee, love that they have rice & almond milk and bread-like options for the gluten intolerant
Kailei CarrApril 12, 2010Don't don't bring your computer if you don't have a Mac - you will not feel welcomed. If you do have a Mac, it's a great place with a hipster, artsy vibe. Pretty good breakfast too.
Anne HApril 28, 2012Free wifi, good fresh juices (they made me a custom flavor 'carrot-apple-ginger'), indie rock and couches.
Randall BrownMay 8, 2011The sweet potato fries are tasty, but so is the chicken wrap. The breakfast items are a little bland in comparison to lunch and dinner. The coffee is awesome.
Noel SmartNovember 29, 2012"Large coffee" evidently means cereal bowl with teacup handle attached filled to the brim with caffeinated goodness.
bridget dickeyDecember 2, 2010great place for meeting over coffee. Very spacious, great drinks, cool atmosphere I seem to always get a lot done when I'm there
EleniMay 2, 2012As happens with many cafe's w/ free Wi-Fi, the speed can definitely be a little slow, not that it's abnormal.
Danny BernardoSeptember 27, 2011Moistest turkey burger ever! Get it with the sweet potato fries & use the horseradish sauce on the burger. Yum!
Sarah LeeDecember 16, 2011There veggie omelette with tofu is soooo good! Also their soy chai latte is amazing!
love this place. music, coffee and atmosphere. i need back here
Jeannette VanKaneganOctober 8, 2012They only take cash! You can pay with a credit card through an app called level up. If you have issues with the app no one at the diner knows how to help.
I love the goat cheese and pesto sandwich also the sweet potato fries
Great consumables; amazing atmosphere. Definitely a great place to relax and be productive *L*?
Food & WineApril 21, 2011The eco-friendly café is LEED Gold certified. Among its recycled items: the counter made with wood from an old barn.
Kyle WoodsMarch 10, 2010This is the only Mac N Cheese I've found that comes close to rivaling Handlebar's! Not to mention, there are tons of cute girls here.
Delicious Chai Lattes plus some awesome furniture to oogle a happy girl make.
Brian GriffinSeptember 22, 2013Cash only, or an App called Level Up which the hipster behind the bar most likely wrote himself. They made the guy in front of us leave and go get cash from an ATM after he ordered. Staff was rude.
Loving this place more & more. Wide menu. All good. Stop by Davenports after your meal for a drink.
