Maybe the best coffee in Chicago. You’ll have to come and find out. I’ve had their cappuccino, mocha w/ and w/o oat milk and some of their sweet and savory pastries. All of it was phenomenal and worth making the detour to stop by this coffee shop instead of the others Logan Square has to offer. My only regret is not coming here sooner!

They never have mocha flavoring….otherwise it’s a lovely spot with good coffee and nice staff. But seriously mocha! So far 4 of 5 visits they’ve been out of mocha. Probably going to start going elsewhere at this rate unfortunately….frustrating bc this area needs a good coffee spot and this place is so close except for a few easily avoided issues!

Coffee is great! Make sure you arrive early if you want to catch the doughnuts. It is a bit of a wait for coffee as well, so give yourself enough time to be in line, and enjoy!

Just echoing the below reviewers comments, makes no sense that they're wasting this nice location on a tiny window. I came here to work based on the website, pictures, 'dine in welcome', just to waste my time! Step up your game owner.

This place definitely has great coffee and treats but I don’t think I’d say it’s my favorite coffee spot in Logan.
The treats are usually gone before lunchtime - I wish they would stock more.
They still haven’t opened the inside, which means you’re standing outside—blazing sun or pouring rain—to make an order.
There’s only one person working ever, so a line only 4 people deep can feel like it’s taking an eternity.
It’s also expensive, maybe the priciest in the neighborhood. Perhaps it’s a way to make up for people who grow tired of the line and leave.
Fabulous place, just wish there were some improvements by now. I’ve been going for over a year and nothing has changed.
(Also would love if they got almond milk as another non dairy option)

Used to belive this place had the best coffee in town. Unfortunately, today I got an Americano that was so bad I had to throw it away.

Walked all the way down to FLC (for the 1st time) only to discover that they have a perfectly capable indoor dining area that's CLOSED, so customers have to stand in line, under the blazing heat & sun to order via walkup window. They had next to nothing in pastries (2 pastries that appeared to be several days old from the window), ONE employee working by himself - another employee (perhaps the manger?) came strolling in about 20 mins later and didn't have a simple coffee request that I wanted to order. What a waste of time. In pains me that a place like this is STILL in business.
But for how long?

I’ve been trying all the coffee shops I can in Chicago for the summer, this one by far is the worst, expensive, line for some reason and tasted BAD!

Had a great coffee, and a great experience! This guy is working as hard as he can to keep his community caffeinated and prepared for their day! Really good coffee, and great vibes---sidewalk service for an on-the-go delight!

Four letter word - lazy. Open your store and stop forcing us to use single use cups.
Edit: I even actually asked them not to put a lid on my coffee and he did anyway, and I said I specifically asked you for no lid so he took it and threw it in the bin.

Stopped in for an iced coffee today and it was delicious! You can really taste the complexity of the coffee beans and it wasn’t acidic or bitter. I love that I can just swing by the window and grab a cup next time I’m taking my pup for a long walk

I want to like this business because its coffee is good, but service is very slow since only one guy is doing everything from making drinks, taking orders, and dealing with payments. Additionally, the very nice looking dining room is still closed, so customers have to wait on the sidewalk, which is unprotected from the weather. The owner is definitely losing money/customers by not utilizing the space or creating a more efficient ordering process.

April 2022 Update: dining room still closed (window service only)
Knowledgeable skilled baristas and amazing coffee. What more can you ask for? Their specialty coffees are lovely and seem to be carefully selected. If you are in Chicago and like coffee, this cafe is worth a visit.

Today was my first time stopping by. The barista was very friendly and outgoing. Definitely must try the Turkish Style. Its strong, textured, and delicious. It also comes with a Turkish delicacy!

Nice place, comfy. I like that they serve Turkish coffee but wouldn't pay $6 for it. Seems that their cold brew is very popular.
