Happy Friday, everyone!

Wanted to give you an extra reason to pay us a visit this weekend.

Of course we’re first and foremost a coffee brand. But, because of our purist nature and commitment to using real ingredients, we’ve invested heavily in all of our products—including our ice cream, which is 100% made-from-scratch at our Logan Square store.

We have our own version of the classics like chocolate and vanilla and then we have some other flavors that are based on our lattes like the honey-lavender (local honey) and Nutella. We also have ceremonial matcha and hojicha ice creams for those who are into tea and then there’s “cold brew” an amazing coffee flavored ice cream. For those of you who can’t do dairy, we have an oat milk vanilla ice cream as well as an incredible mango lime sorbet.

You can still get a taste of our ice cream at The Coffee Studio in Andersonville and at our Lakeview store when you order an affogato, but for the full ice cream experience stop by our Logan Square store where we also make shakes and malts (King Arthur Baking Company malt powder) and waffle cones from scratch.

Hope to see you soon!

Eggciting news, everyone!!!

Egg sandwiches and sourdough waffles are now available at our Logan Square location. Hooray!

Here’s the rundown:

The Egg Sandwich: Our basic “pedestrian” option features a souffléd egg and organic american cheese with a smothering of our secret special sauce (think honey mustard-ish) on a house made sourdough bun.

The Deluxe: This version includes the same bun, egg and special sauce but swaps out the american cheese with our favorite cheddar from the fine folks out at Tillamook in Oregon. Add to that a locally sourced bacon, a potato hash medley and a portion of sprouts to top it off.

The Potato Hash Bowl: A bread-free option that combines our potato hash medley, egg soufflé, honey mustard secret sauce, green onions, and sprouts.

The Sourdough Walking Waffle: This one is a real treat. The batter is made with organic flour and is fermented overnight. The sourdough adds a layer of complexity of flavor to the waffle. It’s likely to be one of the best waffles you’ll ever have. After cooking to order we cut up the waffle and portion out melted grass fed butter and organic, dark maple syrup from Vermont and put it all in a cup with a fork to make it super easy to consume on the go. (Also happy to put it in a bowl or on a plate if you’re dining with us). Finally, we put an optional dusting of powdered sugar on top…because it just seems proper to do so.

Stop by our Logan store or any of our locations to try these all day breakfast options for yourself.

See you soon!

POP UP ALERT!!!

Coffee infused ramen is coming to the heart of Logan Square Thursday, March 5th from 5p - 8p at Pedestrian Coffee (2642 N Milwaukee Ave).

approached us with the idea to do a pop up. Deciding what that would look like ultimately ended up in the merging of concepts….and the coffee infused ramen was born.

Take a close look at that second photo and you’ll see the coffee beans in the upper chamber of the siphon adding just a touch of savory, roasty goodness to the broth.

We’re really digging it and think you will, too. If you can’t make it this Thursday, try again next Thursday. At this point, the plan is to feature this via a pop up every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the ramen options, other items on the menu will include:

-house made matcha, hojicha and cold brew ice creams
-non-dairy & dairy versions of a Vietnamese iced coffee

More thematic menu items to come in the coming weeks…

See you soon!

Yes. There is indeed ramen brewing in that coffee siphon.

The owners of the cafe and BánhMi Spot are launching Masaka Ramen on Thursday, offering a weekly twist on the Japanese dish.

INTRODUCING:

The Rosemary + Grapefruit Latte

The latte is comprised of an all-natural, house made syrup using real organic rosemary sprigs, pink salt and organic and sugar. After combining with espresso and your choice of milk, we express it with an organic grapefruit peel.

The feedback has been super positive so far. Pretty sure you’ll like it.

It’s our spring seasonal. So, get it while you can and let’s keep crossing our fingers that winter is truly coming to a close. You never know in Chicago.

Cheers!

I polled staff today to include them in this tough decision to close tomorrow (Friday). I told them that I can’t afford to pay them if we do choose to close…and that in essence, we’ll all be in the same boat—that being to choose to stand up for something important to us—even though we will endure some level of hardship for it.

But when the stakes are this high, it’s important to sacrifice. My team knows this and overwhelmingly voted (anonymous poll) to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis and the rest of the nation and beyond who see what’s happening in the US right now.

So, we’re asking you to do the same. Stand with Minneapolis. Stand with those human beings who are aren’t being treated as such. Stand with those who have risked their lives to protest injustice. Stand with those who have lost their lives protesting injustice.

We’ll be back open Friday—and we could use your support to make up for the lost revenue….and so will the other businesses who chose to close.

And then Sunday will come…and Monday….and life will likely move on for most of us—but not for all of us.

So please, find ways to continue to stand in solidarity with your community.

Grateful we still have the freedom to do this. Let’s not loose that freedom!
