    In an Ipsento latte, whole milk is swapped out for coconut milk, sugar is ditched in favor of honey, and a pinch of cayenne is added to bring the heat: This is your tropical island retreat in a glass. Read more

    First nitro-kegged cold brew coffee I've seen since moving back from Atlanta. Absolutely delicious. Outside seating can be loud because it's right off Western, though.

    A true neighborhood coffee shop in Bucktown. Personable, friendly service. Lots of conversation happening. A cool, old-school decor. The Nutella and Ipsento Lattes OMG. Try their Nitro Brew too.

    This place is amazing and so cute! The toast and sandwiches are delicious and freshly made. Their seasonal lattes are delicious! For awesome ambience, they have the greatest neo soul vibe. I love it!

    Probably my favorite coffee shop in Chicago. A favorite when I lived there, and a must whenever I'm back in town. Amazing coffee, and delicious sandwiches with options for everyone.

    It isn't an every day order but the Ipsento Latte is possibly the best coffee drink I have ever had.

    The iced Ipsento latte (coconut milk, honey, cayenne, & milk) is delightful. Also grab some rosemary sea salt caramels by the register because you're worth it.

    "Baristas are superfriendly, direct-trade beans are roasted in small batches weekly and offered in a variety of brew methods (such as pour-over and French press) that turn out lovely cups of coffee." Read more

    the espresso and SOE coffees are top notch-- sparkling water served on the side of the espresso is a beautiful touch. specialty/seasonal lattes are so well done.

    For a delightfully caffeinated sugar bomb, try the Nutella or The Ipsento. Lovely baked goods, cute, airy space, and friendly staff who really knows their coffee.

    The 'Ipsento' latte is great for the spice lover... & if you're wanting something sweet try the 'Nutella' latte. You honestly can't go wrong :)

    The cardamom rose water latte is a lovely delicate change of pace. The Ipsento (make it sassy!) is sweet & fun, the sandwiches are generous & the service is sweeter than a Nutella latte. Love.

    Their take on the fall favorite is heavy with house-roasted espresso, balanced by steamed milk and a homemade blend of ingredients, including pumpkin puree and pumpkin-coconut syrup. Read more

    The Ipsento Latte is the most magical of all the caffeine things in all the Chicagoland. Serious.

    The Nutella Mocha is my fiance's favorite and I could eat the Garrison Keillor sandwich every day of my life. I will be sad to move from the area b/c of this place.

    Okay, okay...the Pumpkin Patch latte is just the best. Unbelievable, truthfully. Or maybe the Nutella one is. I'll never decide. Just go here. Go.
