I am from Miami and had to be in this part of Chicago for about a week. We have very good coffee in Miami that is perfect, strong and not too much sugar.. wonderful for tired moms. I would always come to this coffee shop in the West loop with a stroller during the week when I visited this area.

Of course in Miami we have such great coffee but the names are in Spanish, such as Cafe con Leche. I am an English speaker but I am only used to the strong coffee with great taste over there. I am not a fan of too much sugar in coffee, for some reason I feel sick after I drink too much sugar in coffee and we also have great tasting coffee without this high amount of sugar in Miami.

Since I was used to ordering coffee that was typical in Miami, I wasn't sure what to order when I came to this place and would just ask for a latte because I thought this was the closest in translation to what I wanted, "Cafe con Leche" means coffee with milk.

The only thing I asked for to go with it was almond milk and warm, then wait to see what happens. To my surprise, even though I am picky with coffee at least for my taste they made something very quick and good quality that never disappointed me. It always felt like it was made with care. I would eat it outside on the bench with my toddler. The bathrooms are always clean, which I really appreciated.

I would go there in my stroller and order a morning meal with coffee. I would tell them I'm going to the restroom with my toddler, then get the meal and eat it outside. Very nice experience. I like paying for a good quality coffee in a place that I feel comfortable even though I am not a local there. Thank you again for the clean bathrooms and good attitude from the people working there. A guy with glasses and a ponytail was very nice when I got rained on and went back there to eat since we left our...
