Employees are exceptional. So exceptional it motivated this review. Very warm, friendly people. Made me very happy. I'm tired of eating unhealthy garbage and wanted a real sandwich. Wasn't disappointed They made it fast too. Happy customer here.

Out of all of the spot coffee locations this is by far my favorite. No matter what time of year it is a good atmosphere… sometimes it gets a little bit difficult in the warmer weather to be outside with yellow jackets, but obviously that’s not the fault of the coffee shop! The barista are always friendly. I would have to say my orders have never been incorrect in the 15 years. The food is fresh and delicious consistently made the way that I like it! It’s generally pretty clean and there are multiple different types of seating options available.

The atmosphere is by far so amazing in the heart of the Elmwood Village! Good vibes, people, staff, and love going here... I just wish they would be open past 7 pm like back in the day. Now we have to go to other places open later. Wish they also had recycling/recycled like their neighbor, Panera... I hate throwing out my plastic cups!

They changed my favorite grilled cheese on the planet and went with a panini type bread. The cheese is the same mild cheddar, but no tomatoe and the miracle wip, I think, is no longer used on the sandwich either. The green salad and dressing remain the same. The hot drinks no longer have the tall, grande, and Venti format for the coffee and other hot drinks. It's simply large or small. Other than that, not many more changes, but they lost a step with those changes.

Stopped in for a quick pick me up in the afternoon while touring the city and ended up with a GREAT cup of coffee. Wasn't expecting it to be so good, but glad I got it!
