Tasty Cafe Tola empanadas and breakfast tacos. Super yummy Bennison's bakery pastry. If that's not enough, pop in to take a look at "Other people's records" a small carefully curated selection of vinyl records. The staff is awesome, they make great BIG sandwiches and have a knack for small talk. Plus they are always playing a dope movie on the screen in front of the cashier. I love this place.

Such a cool café, although there are almost too many things going on inside. 😭 The space is packed with retro decorations, and there is a whole gaming area in the back with old-school games—including an actual Pac-Man machine. They also have plenty of outlets and Wi-Fi, so it should be a great place to work… assuming you do not get completely distracted by the games. Menu at the end. 👉 Apple Latte ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (around $6.25) The coffee itself was decent—a classic dark roast that was actually pretty enjoyable. They also sell their beans. The syrup, however, was not doing much. How do you add apple syrup to a latte and somehow end up with almost no apple flavor? 😭 I ordered it less sweet, but it was still fairly sugary without delivering the flavor it promised. A regular latte probably would have been better. 📍1458 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642, USA

Standing Passengers is one of the most unique shops in general that I've visited, and a particularly high quality coffee shop. The eclectic punk vibe is energizing without being overstimulating, and the TVs with vintage gaming consoles are a really fun feature of the shop. I haven't tried any of the food beyond the maple bacon donut which was so delicious that it changed my mind about bacon in desserts.

Long line on a Saturday morning but it actually moved fast. Drinks are worth the wait! Maple latte, dirty chai and the cold brew were our picks. There’s records and vintage games to play as well which fun.

This place is a real hidden gem in the heart of west town. The vibes are top notch (10/10), fully packed with great urban aesthetics, retro video games and dis (yeah, djs) this place is worth it just for that. Besides vibes, the coffee is really good and the drink menu is awesome! Their maple latte has the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee-ness that you will like for sure. They also carry do-rite donuts which are always great!! The place is small and has limited seating options so, be patient and plan your visit!
