Quaint little philanthropic coffee shop that gives 50 percent of their proceeds from the merch purchased at the shop to support dogs through Chicago's Orphan Animal Community. Upon walking in I felt like I was in a dark shop you'd find in Diagon Alley right out of a Harry Potter book. The walls are filled with portraits of dogs dressed as royalty which I half expected to start talking. My latte was great and had all the options I was looking for ( eg sugar free vanilla syrup and unsweetened almond milk ). Food options were limited to a few pasteries so go elsewhere for a more substantial meal. Great coffee/ lattes AND philanthropic owners? Of course I'll be back. Fun, random, quirky addition to the neighborhood.

Must visit! Came for the good cause, stayed for the delicious coffee drinks and the cute interior. Service was fast and with a smile, even though there was a line ahead of us. Really liked the seasonal horchata latte I got. Yum!

Popped in before going to a nearby appointment. This coffee shop is so cute! Dog lovers are going to want portraits like the ones they have here. Small inside but plenty of seating to enjoy your coffee or pastry. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful! Parking sucks in this neighborhood. I've driven by several times but never had success in getting a parking spot. So this visit was my first time in as I was able to score parking! Hopefully I can pop in again soon!

Loved their interior, Small, a little dark (not bright and shiny like most) places. Visited in the evening, so they just had coffee options available.

Popped in for an afternoon coffee today and I loved the iced latte! Perfect spot if you need a coffee for your lake walk.

baristas are literally the sweetest people ever. my husband and i came from out of town, and they were so welcoming and sweet.the building and decor is absolutely beautiful; huge plus that the photos on ten walls are royal pit bulls lol. they have mercy you can buy and 50% of the profits are donated to a humane shelter to help dogs get adopted. they have an “Adoptable Dog of the Month” photo too. i love what they stand for. this place is such a great environment. unfortunately, they aren’t allowed to have dogs inside due to the health department, but they do offer free treats if you happen to bring your dog by.the coffee is amazing. i got a cortado and a honey lavender latte; both were great.

My partner got a horchata late which really stole the show, by far one of my favorite drinks to date. It has vanilla and cinnamon and instead of normal milk it has rice milk in it! Genius!! I also got an iced matcha made with real matcha sourced by a local company which was also very good. The barista was friendly and knowledgeable which is always nice. Price was also fair for the area, would sure go back again.

This such a cute little cafe in Lincoln Park. They have great seasonal lattes. We tried the strawberry mocha and the snickerdoodle latte. The strawberry mocha literally tastes like strawberry icecream in a cup. The snickerdoodle latte was great too. The cinnamon wasn't overpowering. The service was fast. The decor is very old school European. This is a dog friendly cafe. I am taking a star off due to lack of food options. They only had a few croissants left even though it was early morning. Pretty sure the croissants were leftovers from the previous day. They have a couple tables for group seating and big table with individual chairs to sit and work from. Overall, a cute little cafe to try great coffee beverages from, but be mindful of the lack of food options.

The barista was kind and had some really nice jazz playing. It felt like a coffee shop where you can actually sit down for a while and take your time. A great neighborhood option. The croissants are very flakey but still delicious.

Awesome little coffee shop with fantastic vibes and cutest decor. The snickerdoodle latte is delicious and made quickly with love! The workers are so polite and sweet and really fun to chat with! I love the dog themed decor. So glad I stumbled upon this little gem!

Cute little coffee place. I got the snickerdoodle latte and it was very delicious. I will say that the prices are kind of wild. I ordered a medium coffee and was blown away by how small it was. Other than the sizing and price, this place is really good!

Just the cutest little coffee shop with the coolest sort of art deco/modern victorian vibe. This place was classy, upbeat, and was rocking the type of jazz playlist that had me pulling out Shazam the entire time I was there. I had a vanilla London fog which made the top two London fogs I've had in the city, so I will def be back. Fast wifi, friendly staff, plenty of seating, and the temp was somehow perfect, which is so hard to do during Chicago winter
