Chicago | The Perfect Affogato at Hexe Coffee ☕️🍨

Remember when I raved about the Pretty Cool Ice Cream x Levain Bakery collab? Well, they’ve teamed up with Hexe Coffee for something even better! I swung by for breakfast last weekend and couldn’t resist trying their limited-edition summer affogato—and oh boy, it did not disappoint. 🍨 The Star of the Show: Summer Affogato (Pic 1) The ultimate hot-meets-cold experience—just like Levain’s cookie sandwich, but with a deliciously urgent twist: if you don’t eat it fast enough, the ice cream melts into oblivion in the hot espresso. But hey, isn’t that the magic of affogato? The sweet creaminess balances the bold espresso bitterness, making it the perfect summer alternative to iced Americano. ☕️ The Coffee: A World of Beans (Pic 2) Their hot latte is solid, but the real draw? Their wild selection of beans—including a light roast from Tanzania that I loved when I visited. Now I’m on a mission to try every single one. 🥪 Breakfast Sandwiches: Carb Heaven (Pics 3-5) Option 1: Umamicue BBQ pork belly (yes, the same one I’ve raved about before). Verdict? Too heavy for breakfast—stick to dinner. Option 2: Classic bacon. 10/10—especially when paired with a flaky biscuit (NOT bread!), a thick egg patty, and melty cheese. Breakfast perfection. 💀 Skull Cake: Looks Hardcore, Tastes Sweet (Pic 6) A chocolate skull cake covered in frosting. Cute? Yes. Necessary? Debatable. The cake itself is great—the frosting is overkill. Best enjoyed with a strong black coffee to cut the sweetness. ✨ The Vibe: Coffee by Day, Brews by Night Fresh pastries (mostly American-style) for fellow carb addicts. Secret bonus: They’re also a brewery! Grab a beer or cocktail and switch from work mode to happy hour without leaving your seat. 📍 Hexe Coffee Co.: 2000 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614 🔥 Hey caffeine crew!
