Everybody's Coffee
Uptown, ChicagoSeptember 19, 2025A large community-oriented space with local art + zines, and high-quality-yet-cheap single-origin drip coffee.
Coffee
Very solid overall. Single-origin drip is consistently fantastic, even as they rotate out. Easy all-day drinking.
Espresso unremarkable, and no pour-overs.
Cafe
“Utilitarian-but-cozy”. No couches, armchairs, but great seating variety and the natural wood theme feels consistent. Space can be a little loud/echoey. Outdoor seating limited but nice. Feels intentionally-designed.
Price
$2.77 for a 12oz single-origin drip is impossible to beat. Other coffee drinks are fairly priced.
Productivity
Decent productivity vibes here. Plentiful spacing, and many outlets available for use. High tables have especially courteous outlet routing for good access. Generally quiet, good wifi.
Vibes-wise I don’t think I’d be able to get a lot done, maybe due to the lower “cozy” factor here. But on paper this is a productive space.
Vibes
Feels like community, and feels like a safe space. Staff seem to enjoy the space, and their joy + the wall art make the place feel lively and local.
