Freshly roasted coffee beans- the roaster is visible in the back of the spacious serving area- with the roasting date printed on the box! I have previously purchased and enjoyed their 8oz offering and came back for the 5lb sack. Stop by to buy beans and to enjoy this spanking new, modern venue in one of Chicago's a post industrial settings. Cheers!
Wheelchair accessibility: There is an excellent in-premise elevator that can accommodate a full wheelchair or similar assisting devices. Kudos to Sputnik owners!

Excited that they have a new space. There's plenty of seating. The waffle is a must have, definitely get the whipped cream!

Beautiful new space with tons of seating and I will definitely be coming in again to bask at a sunny window table this winter! Coffee and pastry were really good, and staff were all lovely; looking forward to coming back for a lunch sandwich.

This was a hidden gem, good vibe and even better coffee! Top notch! Highly recommended! It took me 5 seconds to demolish that Belgian waffle! Very good and that whip cream!!! Yummy! Very reasonably priced! Cristina behind the counter was super friendly!! Unfortunately it’s a bit of a drive for me but I will be visiting more often!

Love this introduction to the neighborhood and to the coffee scene in the city. Great space for doing your computer work and quiet for chilling or relaxing. The coffee is incredible and great pastries to try. Love the industrial warehouse design with the open floor space.

Great coffee! Great food! Great vibes! Great prices!
I’ve had a cappuccino and tried all the sandwiches and a few pastries. The espresso is really good and smooth, not too acidic. The sandwiches are all great, especially the turkey and mozzarella with tomato jam. I’ve tried the pistachio and the raspberry pastries and they were so soft and flaky, looking forward to trying the rest. Can’t wait to come back, it’s a great sunny place to get lunch with a group or work (there’s fast wifi too).
Kid-friendliness: There’s plenty of space to find a quiet corner with your kids and my toddler loved being able to see the roaster and machinery through the big windows.

An absolute hidden gem in Chicago's coffee scene. It's so great to see them growing into a new space and expanding their menu.
I'm always looking for a place to hang out to work over a cup of coffee (or three) and I can't think of a better place anywhere to do that. The food and pastries are also fantastic and must be made fresh every day.
The prices also can't be beat, especially for coffee roasted on-site. If you haven't checked this place out yet you're missing out.

Amazing tucked away cafe! We came on a Friday morning, and it was super peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of sitting space and we were able to park on the back side of the building. Prices here are amazing. Veggie sandwich wasn’t my fave for breakfast, would’ve preferred for lunch. Also just a heads up it’s served cold. My husband loved the Belgian waffle - I wish they had syrup for it but the whipped cream was amazing!
Parking: Street parking on north side of street and along backside of building.

A cool shop in a rough area, with no indoor seating and a cold patio, so I didnt stay long. The bold, house-roasted coffee and the stylish vibe still made it worth the visit☕
My Wife and I have been coming to Sputnik for about a year or two now. Where to start? They have hands down the best espresso. Its not bitter or sour like other shops. Its got the perfect crema. This is essential and what makes all of their drinks delicious.
Since they opened their beautiful new location, they've added a couple things to the menu. They make brownies and waffles in house. The brownie is this perfect balance between fudgy and cakey
. Their sandwiches are also new. We tried their turkey pepper hummas on a half baggette which was very nicely balanced. We'll post more about the other sandwiches once we've had a taste.
They added Matcha and Chai Lattes which are up to the same level of quality as their other drinks.
I'd say if you haven't checked them out, they are most certainly a hidden gem. And with their new location, with all of the space and lighting, that you'll find a wonderfully relaxing and satisfying experience
