“ Just happened upon this coffee shop when I was checking out The Wasteshed. Really unique and delicious coffee drinks! I'll be it a bit pricey but worth it for the unique flavors. The baristas were quick to serve our drinks and I like the modern and minimalist look of the coffee bar. They are right next to the 606 so I'll definitely be back to check out their other drinks when I'm out for my walk. ”
“ The guys were great. Explained their drinks. The coffee was great, it has a little fruity undertones. ”
“ Cool neighborhood coffee shop in Logan Square. A little hard to find as it is set back a bit and parking is rough but it was worth it. Great service in a clean and energetic space. Iced Latte was complex and delicious. They also have a great pastry program. ”
“ Enjoyed their Rare selection of pour-over as always. Today we got a Panama Geisha Natural and it was absolutely delightful, fruity and clean. The refreshing Totoro is a must for us, too, like a dessert. Parking is so easy in their back yard. ”
“ This is one of the very rare coffee shops I give a 5/5. The location is nice. They do have a lot in the back. Plenty of seating. Cozy vibes and cool vibes. Definitely a place you can chill. Now the main thing is the coffee...the coffee is absolutely amazing! Various lattes and specialty drinks but also high quality pour overs and cold brews. They have specialty roasters. Sell bags that I was so tempted to purchase. All that. The staff is super nice and helpful as well. Without saying too much, this is one of the better places for coffee as far as taste goes! 5/5 I wouldn't go as high as Sawada coffee but it's definitely close. Sawada just has the location and vibe inside that is a difference maker. This has all the coffee taste you could ask for! ”
“ Wow, just wow. That's it, that's my review. OK, just kidding, but seriously. This place is a coffee shop for people that are really, REALLY seriously into coffee, and I mean actual coffee, not frozen sugar bomb drinks that are far removed from coffee. They do feature a number of unique coffee creations, but they're not what one would see at popular coffee places. After perusing the menu and speaking to the barista, I settled on what turned out to be a delicious exacta of the La Cabra La Familia espresso, and a bespoke Dayglow R05 Colombia pourover via Kalita Wave dripper. The espresso had strong stone fruit notes as promised, with a touch of caramel sweetness. It was likely the best espresso I've had in a cafe, anywhere. The pourover was a burst of floral notes on the nose, with a sweeter finish from lychee and candy flavors. The aroma was positively intoxicating. The space itself, while inviting, is made for serving coffee. It's not fancy, but it's elegant. You won't find a milk and sugar station; they do have some dairy and creamer products behind the counter, and the sweetener options are honey and shop made syrup, that's it. I would give about anything to have a shop like this in Dallas. I think I'd be giving a significant portion of my paycheck as well, because I would be visiting every day. It's (again) a place for true coffee aficionados, made by aficionados. I think it's even worthy of the word "amazing". ”
“ Dayglow is officially my favorite cafe this year! I love their menu. Their novelty drinks are always so good. My favorite drink is the Alyssa Lynch. But now with fall here they have switched their menu up and if I'm in the mood for a warm drink Moonrise kingdom is definitely my go to. All the baristas are pretty chill and helpful when it comes to choosing a drink. Like today when I went in to grab a Moonrise kingdom the barista showed me the kind of marshmallows they use for the drink (I don't eat any food items with pork products which includes gelatin in marshmallows) so I was able to ask that she exclude the marshmallows when making it for me. They have pretty decent baked goods too like croissants and cookies. ”
“ One of the best coffee shops in Chicago. They sell coffee from popular international specialty roasters. Hard to find these beans besides online. My friends and I have brought back and shared Nomad and Fuglen from when we travelled so it's cool to see them both in one shop in the US. Many of these beans sold fresh in store are from the top roasters worldwide, including Dak, Onyx, Manhattan, and more. They are the **golden standard** for coffee, and any coffee lover will love this place. In my opinion, only Metric coffee is similar in its offerings and quality, but Dayglow's offerings are a level above Sawada, Dark Matter, Blue Bottle, La Colombe, and the other coffee shops in Chicago. The baristas are knowledgeable and pull an excellent espresso, and the store itself is very cute with plenty of seating in the common area. Parking is limited. ”
“ The specialty drink 'Totoro' is jaw-droppingly good. I wasn't sure what to expect so took a small sip and was so surprised at how tasty the drink was. The distilled coffee is smooth, strong and balanced with strong notes of black sesame. The drink is on the sweeter side - I loved that it included both coconut cream and oat milk. Dayglow is a great drop-in spot and I recommend stopping by to get a tasty one-of-kind drink and then hopping on the 606 trail (an entrance is right by the coffee shop on Spaulding) and taking a leisurely walk. ”
