Such a pretty place and the interior is really well done. Free WiFi and charging stations in some areas. Super clean and modern. Food and drinks. Wait staff and no waitresses tables too. Optional. Great peaceful place to read a book. Free water in glass cups. Outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly staff.

Relaxed place for happy hour and quick bites downtown. Coffee is great but the drinks are better.

A killer spot to plug in for a minute if you’re downtown. Their menu is unique and thier Grandpa Irv Old Fashion (cap drink) is unreal.

The fire roasted chicken melt was recommended to me by the staff and although it was tasty, it did have an odd smell to it that I couldn’t quite get past. I did enjoy sitting in the dining area as it was very pleasant and appealing. I may revisit for their matcha latte.

“Great place to grab a sandwich or salad during the workday.”

Great place to grab a sandwich or salad during the workday. You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating so you don’t have to do takeaway. You can sit and enjoy your food in a bright feeling space. The servers were fantastic. The food was more utilitarian than extraordinary, but that’s not a bad thing. You’ll have a good meal and you can carry on about your day.

Changed my route to the office this morning and decided to pop in here because there was no lines = no waiting - big mistake! There was literally one person ahead of me in line for coffee - it took a while for them to take our orders, but they have a mobile ordering system, so maybe they were working on something. 10 minutes later for a latte for the lady ahead of me and a mocha for myself - and it tasted just like any other coffee joint and was definitely $2+ than the joint in 1 S Wacker. The space was trendy and cool and if you’re not in a rush or you think 10-minutes for a coffee is acceptable, by all means give this place a shot. Will probably try again for a sit down lunch, but avoid for your morning coffee rush if you have a 9a meeting.

Sweet Potato Bowl is fabulous, especially for the price. Sometimes it's hard to find seating.

Love this place! Delicious food, friendly service, and great atmosphere. Also one of the last places downtown to enjoy a sit down lunch at affordable prices under $15.

“A huge shout out to the whole team at Kinsley, including the bartender, the manager, and especially Rodrick the cook.”

A huge shout out to the whole team at Kinsley, including the bartender, the manager, and especially Rodrick the cook. I come here often for lunch and the service and food is outstanding. Tonight I came for happy hour and left my phone in the unisex bathroom. Rodrick found it and gave it to the management staff. I ran in an hour later and they were all waiting for me and rushed to hand me my phone. I was so relieved that it was in a safe place with safe people. I’m very grateful that I work in a building with such an excellent restaurant who hires honest and kind people like Rodrick. The manager always calls me by name and the bartender was very attentive. We will be back with gratitude.
