    Wanted good coffee and since I saw the good reviews at this place that is near where I live, decided to give it a try. The place has outdoor seating and inside there is room for 4 people at a time, there was a line outside and since the weather was nice we waited. The menu is posted outside so you can be ready when you come in, also the menu is posted inside so you can recall easier. The service was fast and the payment is cashless, a tap away to pay and the Mocha and the chocolate donut were ready for me fast enough. As for the coffee, it is strong and good, the chocolate glazed donut was ok, I liked the glazed donut instead, it is on preference. Overall, nice place to stop by and get your Coffee Fix and if you feel like walking, the 606 park is close by.

    every time i visit chicago, i come here for a latte. we tried the smores latte this time which was a nice strong drink with a toasty flavor. the atmosphere is always relaxed and welcoming to all! it’s a consistently good coffee shop.

    Not the friendliest of spots, but definitely some high quality coffee. When I was there, the dining area was closed, and it was just take away. They had a good setup for covid - ordering through a window with some outdoor seating options. Great spot in a convenient location with other great vibe spots nearby.

    As an avid Lynchian, I was overjoyed to see a Twin Peaks themed coffee shop. Was finally able to visit after they had a little fire damage. Coffee was "Damn Fine" and I had mine "like midnight on a moonless night" which was delicious. Was sad to see cherry pie wasn't on the menu but perhaps next time. Keep it going guys!

    A simple coffee shop that gets the job done. Ample room for a chill out spot with outdoor seating. I got an espresso with a donut (they serve beacon donuts here). Espresso was smooth going down and yet creamy. 10/10 would come by if I'm around. Spent under $8 altogether.

    I like the coffee here from time to time. Wish they had a bigger selection but I get their specialty is coffee. Would be a solid 4-5 stars but they have certain political signs up and I’m not a fan. Promote coffee not an organization that isn’t for poc.

    Another great coffee shop in Chicago! The Iman - Cardamon, Vanilla, Ginger & Triforce Espresso The espresso and flavors together are so delicious! Added bonus, all profits of this drink are donated to Inner-City Muslim Action Network. The service was excellent. Prices reasonable. Again, no seating inside except for counter at the window. Mostly just order and grab to go!

    I've lived nearby for a while, but because I don't drink coffee, I haven't visited for myself (I'll get coffee for guests when they visit). That changed today when I was craving a donut. The donuts were delicious (yes I got two), and the iced tea was just what I needed on a Monday morning. The whole experience was just lovely and I fear for the future of my pocketbook now that I know what I've been missing.

    Outstanding iced latte. The staff here is so kind, so much that I am hoping to make the drive there biweekly to enjoy the atmosphere of this spot & it's patio. Keep up the great work, team. You're the best!

    THE DONUTS ARE INSANE. The infused cold brew is fabulous as well. Dog treats are available up at the front door so your BFF can have a treat during the coffee run, too. 🦮🐕🐩🐕‍🦺

  • 5/5 Rishie N. 5 months ago on Google
    The staff is extremely friendly and they know their stuff. They also serve beacon doughnuts - Oreo Old fashioned donuts are a must try. They won't allow dogs to enter the cafe but they always have treats for your furry friends.

    Enjoyed a properly made Cortado. I am not familiar with the Roasters they use and they did have a good flavor. Also big plus for serving Smith’s Loose Tea. Nice space, barista friendly and knowledgeable certainly worthwhile.

  • 5/5 ericka a. 7 months ago on Google
    The coffee is damn good! The doughnuts were also some of the best doughnuts I've had. They were so soft and moist. Would highly recommend!

    A cute, quaint coffee shop! I had the cardamom latte and it was delicious! The dirty chai was pretty good, however the espresso seemed a bit burnt. The interior has great vibes and the staff were very friendly!

    Stopped in today for some cold brew and this Twin Peaks-themed coffee shop didn't disappoint. My partner has raspberry cold brew and it was fire. Super cute place highly recommend

  • 5/5 Genevieve B. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent little coffee place off Armitage Avenue. I wish the hours were extended and there was more indoor seating. However, the coffee and espresso are of high quality, fresh, and craftsmanship. Friendly personnel.

  • 5/5 Kayla M. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful little coffee shop. Delicious cold brew & beautiful lattes. The barista who helped us was extremely kind and knowledgable.

  • 4/5 Nima S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee, service, and a limited pastry selection. The space is limited, but the use is economical.

  • 5/5 Tabatha W. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time for breakfast at this coffee shop! The raisin French toasts with banana slices, fresh berries, and pecans were delicious! We also liked the atmosphere at this typical American diner, which reminded us of a scene from a 1960s film. Since we were there, the friendly waitress suggested we try a trendy cinnamon roll.

    one of my all time favorite coffee shops! they always make the best coffee and are so kind. they made sure everyone felt so safe during covid. they also have the best pastries i was so shocked when i found out they were VEGAN?!

  • 5/5 Vy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Just a damn fine cuppa coffee. I’m not actually much of a coffee drinker (into espresso drinks) and really love their iced lattes. The rotating specials that contribute to a good cause are really cool too. Staff is friendly and it’s a great spot to snag some Beacon donuts! We went multiple times a week when we lived in Logan but now it’s a special treat to swing by for a cup!

  • 5/5 Margaret W. 2 years ago on Google
    We're regulars in coffee shops, and this place had the best coffee we'd ever had! The food was delicious for lunch but a little limited for breakfast, but the staff was extremely sweet, they know how to shake the avocado, and it was a divine tomato oven-roasted! Congratulations to all, and we hope to see you again soon!

  • 5/5 Pippa G. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed the peace and quiet, as well as the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. In the near future, I would be more than happy to return here. The parking area was also well-organized, making it easy to come and go. I would absolutely recommend you to everyone! Thank you very much for your generosity, gentlemen!

  • 5/5 James F. 1 year ago on Google
    I have always gotten a perfect caffinated beverage whenever I visit. Some coffee shops are good, but fail to be consistent. Damn Fine hits the mark every single time. The donuts are amazing as well!

  • 5/5 Elisabeth P. 1 year ago on Google
    Hipster and down to earth at the same time coffee bar in Logan square not far from the 606.

  • 5/5 jacolyn p. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee in this neighborhood, rivals gaslight which speaks volumes for me as I have been a gaslight fanboy forever. The baristas here are so nice, good at their jobs and genuinely cool people. I appreciate that they still wear masks during shifts, it speaks on the character of each employee. I hope these baristas are getting paid what they deserve, more than minimum wage (before tips) for sure. Anything less than that is theft, in my opinion. As a former barista of several years, I know all too well how we often get conned by the businesses that employ us by saying we will make x amount in tips “on average”, and then when that doesnt happen, the employees are blamed for “performance” even when their performance is perfect! I pray that if this business uses a tip pool that they are FAIRLY and EQUALLY distributed to the employees. If this is not the case here and the employees make minimum wage, that is a crime and the owners should be shamed for that. If it’s not the case, then incredible. These five stars go to the BARISTAS and the BARISTAS alone, the coffee could be stronger as a baseline, but that’s also coming from someone who drinks like 300+ mg of caffeine on average a day, so take that as you will! TL;DR — the baristas alone are enough to make me continue to return. You have no idea how important it is to feel welcome somewhere you go to regularly, and this coffee shop has managed to make me feel at home in a very short period since I moved into this neighborhood just a few weeks ago. Damn fine staff, you rock! Thanks for treating me with kindness and making these tasty drinks!! You should get some cayenne for the back though ;) i do carry my own with me for my coffee but its always great when they can steam it into the milk for me! :) <3 jac

    This is my favorite coffee shop! The staff is great and the drinks are amazing. I love flavored lattes but most coffee shops make them extremely sweet. This coffee shop puts the perfect amount of flavor in so that you can definitely taste the flavor but it’s not overly sweet. I work long hours during the week so I always look forward to the weekend when I can go grab a latte. The iced vanilla latte is my favorite!
