Nestled near the 606, this sleek cafe morphs from a bustling coffee haven with sustainable brews to a chill cocktail spot by night, all in a cozy yet vibrant setting.
"Ipsento 606, nestled between Milwaukee Avenue and the 606, is always busy. The enthusiastic energy makes a nice backdrop for enjoying a Nutella or Ipsento latte (the latter made with coconut milk, honey, and a sprinkle of cayenne) or a fresh mini-doughnut." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
"While Ipsento’s original location feels like your artsy friend’s messy apartment, their second shop just off the 606 trail has more of a sleek, wide-open feel to it. They’ve got pour-overs, specialty lattes, nitro cold brew, some light bites, and a full bar starting at noon. They’re open until 6pm most nights, so it’s a good place for a pre-dinner drink or a coffee to sip on during an evening walk down the 606." - veda kilaru
"This is my favorite coffee shop in the city and it happens to be in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I have considered moving, I have taken in account that I would have to find a new coffee spot and it likely won't be as good as Ipsento. They do their own roasting and have a focus on sustainable coffee." - Lee Zelenak
"Perched along the 606, Ipsento is one of Chicago’s finest coffee destinations. Indoor service resumed in February so patrons can take a load off while sipping an Ipsento latte (coconut milk, honey, cayenne)." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
"Freelancing is stressful - you have to be disciplined enough to be your own boss, and you don’t know if you’re actually going to get paid for the work you’re doing. So put Ipsento into your rotation of coffee shops. There are high ceilings, lots of natural light, and a full bar to help you relax while you send strongly-worded emails about overdue invoices." - josh barnett, adrian kane
