Chicago Coffee House (CLOSED)

The Chicago Coffee House, a quiet little coffee shop in Irving Park, opened in February 2015 with their own roasted coffee beans and other local products. The shop is small, with only two tables, three seats at the window and three booths, while the brick walls and fireplace give the space a cozy feel. Log onto free Wi-Fi and sip espresso drinks like lattes and mochas. The menu is simple, with fruits and bagels from a local grocery store, but what sets them apart is the gelato, which comes from Illinois' Angelo Gelato Italiano, and includes flavors like tiramisu, espresso, lemon and chocolate and comes served in a large glass with a cherry on top.
