A tiny, immaculate coffee bar in Wicker Park with a serious dedication to precision brewing and seasonal menus.

Curator's Note

“Osmium is for people who take coffee seriously without being pretentious about it. The baristas are meticulous, the seasonal menu rotates thoughtfully, and the space — though small — is beautifully curated. My favorite pour-over in the city.”

Genuinely the best pour-over I've had in Chicago. They take their time and it shows.

Tiny spot, maybe 10 seats. Come early on weekends or you'll be standing.

Their seasonal drinks are always creative. Had a lavender honey latte last spring that I still think about.

Barista and staff helpful and insightful. The drinks and atmosphere were unique and amazing. I bought a bag of Chronica and Fuego, both are great. The mayan mocha and wake n bake are amazing drinks and not something you'll have often. The shop and the drinks were some of my favorites in the country

Cool vibe inside, the menu is limited. The speciality coffee selection it different than your regular coffee shop. It is rich, flavorful and grows on you as you drink it. You have to like it to enjoy it.

Great spot to work and chat with friends. It gets busy but that only adds to the atmosphere. The espresso was top tier and their agave latte was surreal. The wifi is super good as well. I really enjoyed this place! My only comment might be about the waiting process, you need to be alert for them they call your order. Since the place is loud and busy, one might not hear it the first time. So keep that in mind. Overall, great experience.
