The reviews speak volumes. Patrons rave about the fantastic coffee, with many highlighting the cortado as a standout—a drink described as "strong, balanced, and perfect."

It's a place where relationships blossom, whether between friends, coworkers, or strangers engaging over a shared love of caffeine.
However, be warned: the popularity of this spot means that finding a table can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. The vibrant atmosphere may draw people in for hours, but as Mike Dienhart notes, the beautiful park next door offers a perfect escape when the sun is shining.

“ My favorite coffee shop in Chicago. Right off the Bloomingdale / 606 trail in a darling corner lot next to a park, this shop is a great place to work, hang out with friends, and enjoy tons of treats! Their coffee is fantastic, but if you're dairy-free like myself, you CAN'T MISS the delicious vegan ice cream. Orange Creamsicle is my favorite - you would never know it was vegan! The owner (Tom) is lovely and so is the rest of the staff. Definitely a stand-out in the Chicago coffee scene! ”
“ An excellent place. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Whenever I can I go to this ipsento because I love the place, because they always treat me very well, because it is cheap and, most importantly, it is delicious. This is without a doubt one of the best coffees I have ever tried (not counting the delicious pastry foods they sell there). The place is very quiet so you can study there quietly or do your things peacefully without anyone bothering you or without hearing screams or loud noises. If you've never been, I recommend you come. ”
“ My local coffee spot. Best part - great coffee. The cortado is strong, balanced, and perfect. Could drink these all day long, except my heart would eventually explode... Worst part - people camp out here for hours and hours, so if you're planning to sit you might be out of luck. When the sun's shining though the adorable little park next door can't be beat, that's where you'll find me sipping my third or fourth (who's counting?) cortado with my face facing the sun. Pastries (donuts and scones and such) are solid. The afogato was well made and served nicely. They do cocktails, beer and wine, and those are yummy too. Service can be slow when they're busy - this isn't an assembly line, "get 'em out the door" kind of place. But in exchange you get great coffee. Worth it. ”
“ I loved my time at this coffee shop! Stopped by on a rainy day and got an iced latte and a donut. Goodness gracious it was the best mini donut I’ve had! It looked like it was from a local place I’m not sure which though. The coffee was so tasty and refreshing. I sat at the bar area and even read a few pages. It was noisy but it felt like movie background noise. Clearly a community favorite! ”
“ This is my favorite coffee shop to work remotely from. I love the open windows and the amount of setting they have available. It really does feel like a 3rd place! ”
