Caffé Streets
Wicker Park’s OG coffee bar, using beans from nationally acclaimed roasters

Your would-be Wicker Park home base serves all the coffee-shop standards (plus gluten-free and vegan pastries baked in house) using their own roasted beans from Metric Coffee. Yet the café never takes itself too seriously. See: the Monkey Latte, a.k.a. coffee spiked with banana, molasses, and agave. PRO TIP: Look up: Half the fun of camping out at Caffé Streets is the trippy mod decor. The nested wood ceiling panels are worth the visit alone.
THE DETAILS: Open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily for an anytime fix.
