Four Letter Word Coffee

Four Letter Word Coffee roasts in Logan Square, Chicago, and Burgazada, Istanbul. The Logan Square café is tiny and Paris-inspired, with a year-round, dog-friendly walk-up window. Sometimes there's a pop-up bookstore next door. It's not set up for laptops, and weekend lines can be long.

Shots come from a manual espresso machine. The vanilla pandan latte is the signature, and the ube latte is great too, both with house-made syrups. There's a cortado, Burundi pour-over, matcha with vanilla and a vegan donut. They sell single origins, subscriptions and wholesale.
