The Perfect Cup

This place is always busy! Great drinks and sandwiches. I love the separated rooms for people grabbing and going or staying awhile. They have NICE AND FAST WiFi if you buy something. It’s a perfect spot for working, students and just to hang out with friends. Comfy and diverse seating as well

Almond croissant is awesome and a little doughy in the middle(adding a bit more sugariness) and the annes special was fantastic!

Cosy and quiet coffee place to go and see a friend for a hot drink. WiFi available on demand so good spot to work for an hour or so. Service is always very nice and helpful. Hot chocolate is good. They serve also drinks to-go and a few items to eat.

Quaint little corner spot. Decided to stop in for a quick bite and get some work done in between meetings. Love the atmosphere and the vibe here. Staff seem friendly as well as the patrons. Enjoyed a grilled cheese and a cortado.

This is the darling of Ravenswood. A corner coffee shop that literally has the *perfect cup* ☕ 😌Suggestion: Get a latte “for here” and stay a while. Soak in the jazzy music and the calm esthetics. There’s even a separate room with additional seating and a nice place to hide away from the front door traffic.

I love coming here! Everyone who works here is super nice and the ambiance is nice and chill. The drinks are always great too! My favorite menu item is the grilled cheese tho, 1 of the best I’ve ever had

| TLDR | Toasted Marshmallow latte (latte + specialty syrup) is one of the tastiest lattes I've EVER tasted, home-y vibes, and wall outlets to caffeinate your WFH or hangout time. Now here's the inside scoop:

| Pros |
☕Coffee: got lots of options to choose from (from run-of-the-mill to specialty), so you can't really go wrong
💲Price: I was actually very suprised by this but a specialty 12oz hot latte coming out to a measly $5.00 (+ tax & 3.5% credit card processing surcharge)
🚰Water & Home-y mugs: you can request water and they'll give it to you in a cup that looks like it just came straight out of a home cabinet (super dope). Mugs are also the same way!

* Note: reason for surcharge is to keep overal prices low.

| Things to Consider |
📶Time limit but great speeds: at peak hours (around noon), speeds clocked in at about 54.7 Mbps on their 5Ghz network. Temporary passwords are generated after purchase and given on a receipt sheet to enter into the wifi portal on your device. 3 hour limit btw

IMO, one of the best (and I don't say this lightly) to get some work done or meet with a friend. If you ever wondered which corner Ravenswood coffeeshop serves an (almost) perfect cup of coffee, check out The Perfect Cup!

I love The Perfect Cup. I have been going there since the first day it opened. I consider the owner, Anne, her husband, children and Employee Ryan to be Family. The coffee is good quality and it is strong like I like it.
The Perfect Cup is a neighborhood fixture. People gather there to meet with their neighbors while enjoying a good cup of coffee or another drink. A limited assortment of baked goods and sandwiches are available but coffee is the focus.
Anne does not just do business in the Community, she is active in and supportive of the Community.

Really enjoyable, pleasant place to sit and do some work on your computer, or whatever. Even if you just want to sit outside and people watch with a cup of coffee. From what I could tell this is a favorited neighborhood spot, but attracts all sorts of people from all over. The people working were very kind, super happy, and pleasant. I noticed that they were thorough with everyone's questions and attentive to cleanliness, organization, and efficiency. I felt very comfortable here, and would not hesitate to come back. Street parking is available, and the day I went there was free parking (I believe Sundays are free). Outdoor seating is available, and there are two rooms with varied seating, and a little bathroom in the corner.

I really enjoyed this place! It has a good homey feeling and a rare find that is not freezing cold inside. You could actually enjoy your time or work in there without having to bundle up and shiver.

The cranberry apricot scone was very good! Chai latte wasn't too sweet like many places.

And I have to thank other reviews that mentioned they play nice jazz. It made me decided to try this place. Not too loud or annoying music for working. They have bigger tables for group, sofas for relaxing, and smaller tables for walking alone.

My favorite coffee shop in all of Chicago (and I have visited many). It has a cozy neighborhood feel, with comfortable jazz tunes, delicious coffee and pastries, and super friendly staff. There is ample indoor seating as well as an outside patio. It welcomes everyone, whether they come to work, chat, write, or read. I loved this place so much that I used to come all the way from Pilsen.

I like pretty much everything about this place. The service, food options and seating options. There are two rooms, one with a sofa we nabbed; very comfy.

I love the place so quite and friendly peaceful the coffee was nice I highly recommend it and they have good menu the staff were kind and friendly

The coffee was a rich earthy taste. Very strong coffee bean. This place has an old school vibe which I love.😀

My go-to! Stopping by is one of my favorite things about this neighborhood. Everyone who works there is nice too.

The Perfect Cup is a neighborhood institution. The coffee is great. If you don’t make it early, you’ll miss the selection of perfect scones. If you go frequently enough you’ll meet a lot of the locals, like me!

God bless Ann for opening this wonderful establishment 25 years ago.

Friendly staff, we got some ice coffee and ham and cheese croissants, both very tasty. A lot of outdoor space to sit, no inside seating yet as far as I've seen.

I returned here after probably 10 years of not visiting. Same great owner. Same great vibe.
Same great coffee. Check it out.

Perfect lowkey coffee shop which provides a great workspace, whether you like the traffic/sounds of a coffee shop, or just a quiet place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee. Outlets everywhere and various seating arrangements. Wonderful staff.

In a world full of Starbucks, there is still a family owned, neighborhood coffee shop with an amazing menu where friends can hang out and catch up while enjoying an artisan coffee. I also appreciated having somewhere outside to sit on a perfect spring Sunday morning.

Anne & Rob, you have helped make the neighborhood a better place with The Perfect Cup.
