I love the coffee here. It is, by far, THE BEST coffee in the city of Chicago (from the roasted bean to the brewed cup). And I am a hard sell when it comes to coffee. The staff is trained extremely well on the espresso machine and they always add that meticulous extra touch in the presentation that I greatly appreciate. Most of the veteran staff and a few new ones are extremely personable, professional, and show a good deal of integrity in their work. However, watch out for some of the new post-slacker snobby young ones. I could do without their distaste for good working ethics, their inability to smile, as well as their desire to listen to really bad eighties music. What a bore. Hopefully, Jeff and Tony will pick up on that soon. Bottom line, the coffee is well worth the visit.
