Osmium Coffee Bar

Dark Matter coffee expanded their reach north in July 2014, with the opening of Osmium Coffee Bar in Lakeview. Like Star Lounge, Dark Matter’s West Town location, you can expect the basics, like pour over and espresso, plus specialty lattes, like the agave latte, which is lightly sweet and well-balanced between agave, cinnamon and chocolate. If you're looking for a treat with your coffee, West Town Bakery provides croissants, pecan sticky buns, cinnamon rolls and other pastries. They’re also using Dark Matter's Unicorn Blood in toffee bark. Plus, there’s a rotating list of doughnuts from Do-Rite Donuts (we like the buttermilk old fashioned). The space accommodates both people working on laptops on free Wi-Fi and those hanging out with friends at a wooden bar with stools upholstered in purple cushioning. Plus the décor is quirky and funky—there’s a painting of pipes running through the ocean with squid tentacles wrapped around them.
