Menkeshkesh Coffee Roasters

far south chicago doesn't get enough credit for this kind of thing. menkeshkesh coffee roasters sits on west 111th street in morgan park, a neighborhood that most coffee tourists skip entirely, and that's genuinely their loss. this is an independent roaster doing the work seriously, sourcing and roasting with the kind of focus you'd expect from places charging twice as much in wicker park or the west loop. the standing here reflects consistent execution, not hype. if you're making the trip down to 111th, go with enough time to actually sit with whatever you order. don't rush it.
