Tous Les Jours

you're on division street in wicker park, which means you're already in one of chicago's more caffeinated neighborhoods, the kind where the gap between a decent cup and a genuinely good one gets noticed. tous les jours sits at 1726 w division and has built a quiet local reputation that holds up. nothing flashy about that fact, it just means people keep coming back. if you're passing through the northwest side on a weekday morning or killing time before the blue line, this is a reasonable stop to make a real one. the standing here isn't an accident of foot traffic. wicker park rewards places that take the work seriously, and this one does. start with whatever's on as a pourover.
