Hexe Coffee Co.

Hexe Coffee Co. sits on West Diversey at the edge of Logan Square, near the Lathrop Homes. The shop runs from 7:30 in the morning until eight at night, which is rare for a specialty bar in Chicago, and the kitchen serves alcohol once the espresso shift winds down. The bar pulls classic espresso drinks alongside seasonal builds the staff actually invents in-house, and a small case of pastries turns over by mid-afternoon. There is parking in back, an outdoor patio for the months Chicago allows it, and free wifi for the laptop crowd. The room reads more cafe than bar even when the wine starts pouring. Order the seasonal latte if you came to see what the bar is playing with this month. Order a glass and a snack if you stayed past five and want the version of Hexe most people miss.
