Quiet coffee shop with an adorable interior and great coffee. I worked here the other day for a few hours and the wifi is strong (just ask for the password). The place was quiet and the vibes were good, what else more could you ask for.

Cozy corner coffee shop serving dark matter and locally baked pastries. There's a few specialty drinks, a spot with some merchandise by local artists and even a few shelves with puzzles if that's something you'd want to do while relaxing with your coffee.Solid place overall, bonus for being so cozy. If you're looking for a place to relax with your morning coffee, this is it.

Comfy, clean space. Friendly staff. They will modify without complaints. Only change I would make--open later. I am not a morning person.

Local coffee shop brewing Dark Matter Coffee. Can't go wrong with any of the lattes here but the granola cup latte is my favorite. I appreciate the gluten-free pastry/dessert options as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It's generally pretty quiet here which is a breath of fresh air in comparison to other places in the area. Cool decor and large windows let in lots of light. Black and Women-Owned and very LGBT+ friendly. Wheelchair accessible including the (gender-neutral) restrooms! Easily my favorite coffee shop in Uptown!

I love the aesthetic here, very cozy and functional. I came in for a work meeting.There are games, puzzles, and books(adult and children's books) available. Tea was served with a timer to assure the proper amount of time for steeping.Bathroom has a nice changing table and even supplies for changing little ones.I interacted with 2 staff members and both were helpful and kind. A great place to relax with a book or meet up with a friend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options are available, which was a great surprise!

Lovely coffee shop! I came by this afternoon for a pick-me-up and to get some work done. When I arrived, there was only one other person inside, so it was nice and quiet. The staff member working was so friendly. He told me his favorite along with customer favorites, and I decided on the granola latte, iced. There is no granola in the latte, just hints of cinnamon, almond, and other nutty flavors that compliment the coffee well. I really liked it! Ridman's carries Dark Matter coffee, so I knew the quality would be great. I also tried a blueberry muffin --- super yummy! The cafe is cozy and plays nice music. I love how all the windows make it bright too! I will definitely be back to enjoy the coffee and atmosphere. It's worth noting that they close at 3pm, so best to go in the morning or early afternoon if you plan on staying for a few hours.
Love this coffee shop! As a tea drinker sometimes it’s hard to find quality teas at coffee shops but Ridman’s carries their secret line of teas that taste amazing and are super strong and flavorful.The place is very cozy, has clean and comfortable bathroom, kids changing station and a great selection of coffee and also merch from the local artists!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's a nice place but has very limited seating. The coffee was decent and when I did find a seat I found that I got cold pretty quickly. I would say that it's a great place to get a coffee to-go but not somewhere to go to get work done.
| TLDR | Granola Latte (specialty drink) is suprisingly really good, Chicago-styled place to chat & work, and wall outlets to feed your inner-WFH spirit. Now here's the inside scoop:| Pros |☕ Coffee: got lots of options to choose from (run-of-the-mill to specialty), so you can't really go wrong? Great WiFi: speeds clocked in at about 55.7 Mbps. Password can be found by asking staff?Price: I was actually very suprised by this but a specialty hot latte (looked like either a 12 or 16oz) coming out to a measly $5.95 (price includes tax)| Things to Consider | Seating: although plentiful on a rainy Tuesday, tables themselves are a bit small. If you got an MCAT to cram for and need the extra table space, might not be ideal.Overall, really neat place to get some work done or meet with a friend. Also, it was neat to see a new barista there learning the ropes (you got this!). If you ever wondered which corner Uptown coffeeshop to stop by, check out Ridman's!Parking: Free parking can be sniped on parts of Lawrence and also on parts of Clark. To know exactly which parts, I'd recommend the app SpotAngels (not sponsored by them haha).Paid parking also found on Clark if no free parking available.

Vibes? Immaculate. Baristas? Stunning. Coffee? Delicious. Setting? Third-space worthy.
