Modest Coffee, Inc.

the cold brew is where you should start if you're visiting modest coffee, inc. for the first time. this is a roaster-first operation on west roosevelt road in west chicago, which means what ends up in your cup has been thought about well before it reaches you. specialty roasting at this scale tends to mean real attention to sourcing and process, not just marketing language about it. you'll find the kind of coffee that rewards slowing down a little, whether that's a straight shot or something longer and cold. west roosevelt road isn't a destination strip, and that's fine, the shop doesn't need the foot traffic to justify itself. come back for the cold brew on a weekday morning when the day is still figuring itself out.
