“The cortado is strong, balanced, and perfect”
One of my favourite places to come and get a good coffee and pastries.
Chill, queer-friendly coffee shop. Good place to park and write for a while if that's your thing.
My favorite coffee shop in Chicago.
This is my favorite coffee shop to work remotely from.

“This is my favorite coffee shop to work remotely from.”
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!

“I loved my time at this coffee shop.”
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!

Busy comfortable coffee shop with friendly staff and great coffee. They recently added a soft serve machine and make a good affogato.

Didn’t have cutie donuts today because it was post Thanksgiving Black Friday and the place was packed with visitors tourists and in-laws from out of town… still great coffee and vibe.

I adore this place and would say that this is one of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago imho. Very chill vibes, excellent coffee, friendly staff, great location right on Milwaukee and next to the 606. This is a fantastic place to work at or meet up with friends, with lots of seating. Lots of bike parking outside. Also, great wallpaper in the bathrooms!!

First time at this cafe, tried The Ipsento Latte and I must say it’s one of the best lattes I have had in my lifetime! So smooth and creamy with just the rite type of strong taste of the espresso! Definitely recommend this cafe If you are ever in the wicker/buck area.

“An excellent place.”
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.

I visited this café last Sunday and was greeted by a friendly cashier/barista who engaged in some lighthearted sports talk because I was wearing my Detroit Lions hoodie. It was quite amusing! I ordered a small vanilla cappuccino with oat milk, and it was delicious. Feeling a bit Parisian, I also ordered a croissant. It had been years since my last visit, but I was glad I went on Sunday!

“Hip coffee joint at one of the 606 entrances.”
Hip coffee joint at one of the 606 entrances. Fault standard menu, but they have some unique pastry offerings, especially the miniature donuts. Later in the day they do serve beer and there are sandwiches as well.

I came in on a Thursday morning in December and the vibe was wonderful -- good music and very warm and cozy. My coffee was beautiful and you can tell the great care the baristas put in to their drinks. Such a convenient spot and nice place. Will definitely be back!!!

“Lovely spot for coffee.”
Lovely spot for coffee! I always order rich, whole milk lattes and Ipsento doesn’t disappoint. I wish their food options were more varied; however, they do have tiny donuts. That’s important. Can be a little chilly inside. A few doors down from Zen Yoga Garage so grab a coffee after a sweaty session!

“This cafe is a hidden gem and a big hit with my runner friend who stops by along the 606.”
This cafe is a hidden gem and a big hit with my runner friend who stops by along the 606. I tried the Ipsento latte which adds great flavor with honey and cayenne. Ordered it iced, but came out hot. But then realized it probably tastes a lot better hot, so I will have to come back in the winter. It’s always great to see a cafe own a flavor and build a brand around it. super cool and would come back again for sure.
