Factotum Coffee

factotum roasts its own, and that changes everything about what ends up in your cup. there's a particular kind of confidence that comes from a roaster who controls the process from green bean to finished product, and on n tripp ave in chicago's belmont cragin neighborhood, that confidence shows. this isn't a cafe that sources from whoever's convenient. the regulars here are loyal in that specific way people get when a place quietly exceeds expectations week after week, not because it's trying to impress anyone, but because the baseline is just higher. if you're out this way, don't overthink the order. get the espresso, straight.
