People connect in real ways over mealtime all over the world. Our philosophy is that the food people are eating should be thoughtfully made. We source our breads, coffee, and pastries from our Chicago pals and make everything else ourselves from scratch.

Full bellies, full hearts.

Our shop is about more than just good food and drink. Meeting someone for coffee could be the start of a close friendship. Learning to create collage artwork could unlock a passion. All this and more happens here.

Connect with community.

a few invited chairs are tucked in a cozy corner of the shop surrounded by potted indoor plants, a warm rug, soft throw pillows, and small tables for coffee.

We hope to see you soon.
