Excellent! Came here when I needed something warm and ordered some tea. Would love to come back and have a meal / coffee. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the food and drinks.They have an extensive breakfast and lunch menu with a full service cafe.And this seems like a haven for POC. Just sayin.

I’m obsessed with this place! Their build your own breakfast sandwiches and pistachio lattes are my faves. And the people are all so nice who work here. Highly recommend!

Cute coffee shop just off the south side of University of Chicago campus. Coffee was good but the food was even better. I got the Honey Nut Latte and that tasted just like Honey Nut Cheerios. The breakfast sandwiches are good variety and really well done. Th bagels are especially nice.

Great place and great food. Grilled cheese sandwich is A-mazing and the turkey sandwich is great! They craft these with care and pack them with full throttle flavor. Loved the experience and will be back for more. Staff is friendly and vibe is good. Only downside is the smoke or smell of the cooking which is in the air and can get your clothes to smell like bbq, but for the rest, it’s an amazing place to eat.

Staff were nice and helpful even at their busiest times. Large selection of food and drinks that were simple but great. Definitely will visit again for a quick meal!

I've ordered the tuna melt and pecan roll before and had to get it again. I also decided to try something new, the Biscuit Bowl was amazing! Lots of flavor, the biscuit was fluffy, flaky, and flavorful. Gravy was so good too! I had no idea it would come in that kind of bowl but I loved it! It made it easier to get everything in one bite. This is a place you go to and have to try everything on the menu because it's just that good.

The coffee was out of this world!!! Had a colleague pick up some coffee other than Dunkin so when I saw it, I wasn't expecting much. Very pleasantly surprised. The coffee was rich, flavorful, and strong! Very well made! And it's a local shop! Go by and visit if you're in the neighborhood!!!
