This place came highly reviewed and I was pretty happy with the quality. Ipsento is on a standard main-street like street with some nicer shops around but hardly the feeling of a gentrified neighborhood. The cafe was pretty small for how busy it was but ordering was quick and they had 5-7 people working @ once at 9AM on a Friday moving people through as fast as possible. I ordered a Chocolate Croissant, Espresso, Pour over Geisha cup and a Chai Latte w\/ Almond milk and the total was around $17 which isn\u2019t bad considering I ordered for myself what usually 4 people would drink but that\u2019s the commitment I have to these reviews :) Ipsento roasts their beans a few blocks away so not on-site but close enough for this reviewer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Espresso:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/22632557648\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/721\/22632557648_731a67cff9_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My Goodness, it was so amazing! Thick, fudge-like with a little bit of berry, tree bark and even some vanilla creeping in there. This would be a daily drink for me if I was just walking by on my way to work\u2026a dangerously good espresso shot. I hope this wasn\u2019t some accident never to be repeated again. 10\/10! It was served with a chocolate malt-ball and Pellegrino.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geisha Coffee via Clever Pour Over:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/22429764133\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL\"  width=\"427\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5682\/22429764133_6407092cd4_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another example of a third wave cafe \/ roaster using half the beans needed to make a cup of coffee. I know Geisha coffee preparation tends to be a little weak compared to a blend but it basically tasted like black tea to me, thin, almost no lingering flavor at all except bitterness. Really disappointing for the price, 4\/10. If anyone can clue me in on why cafes are making their coffee so sweet outside of the goal of providing \u201cnuance\u201d to the drinker of aspects of beans, I\u2019d really like to know more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pastries:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/23050953475\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Ipsento Coffee House - Chicago, IL\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/643\/23050953475_d963d5b55a_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>GF and I split a chocolate croissant.
