The Vibe: The main focus of this cafe is definitely it's beautiful roaster. The owner is passionate about what he does and I really like when people follow their dreams. When I walk into a cafe I can almost immediately tell which ones have absentee owners who are driven by profits and which ones have owners who love what they do, Asado Coffee is definitely the latter.
Pros: Kevin, the owner, and his wife spent over a year living in Andalucia and wanted to bring the taste and warmth of a Spanish cafe back to Chicago. He is serious about his coffee. Fair Trade coffee available. On-line and wholesale ordering available.
Cons: Very limited food offerings, no wi-fi
