COZY CAFE — Restaurant in Rogers Park Township

This was such a wonderful experience! The space is tasteful and, as in the name, cozy. Felt real. Ricky, the owner who was serving, asked me right away how my day was going — but in a way that communicated that he ACTUALLY wanted to know. And given the morning I’d had, this was sooo welcomed. The coffee was great and I loved the original names with personal meaning he had given to each pastry (one was named after his late Mama Loretta, another after his favorite jazz musician and when anyone orders it, he plays a particular song.)

The coffees feature a great variety including a dark roast latte that I found refreshing. The edible items run from cinnamon rolls to the Mama Loretta Nutella Croissant, with beverages varying from bottled water to pop and other nonalcoholic beverages. Did I mention the selections are surprisingly affordable? It’s a one-of-a-kind coffee shop for the distinctly amiable atmosphere, not to be missed if you get out to the...
