Osmium Coffee Bar

Came in the morning for coffee in this place in Lakeview East on Belmont. It's about all they have. Osmium is a good place to do some working. Has quite a hipster atmosphere. There's cold and hot drinks as well as a few pastries. A place to look at art while having coffee. It's got all these paintings from local artists for sale. This is the second best thing here to spend your money on though. Coffee is the main reason why people come. It's about $4 for the cheapest stuff. Actually not that bad for the area. The Agave Latte is one of the popular specialties. It's made with chocolate and cinnamon. The pastries also looked good, but there were eggs in these. Best place around here for hipster ass coffee. It's got pretty okay prices. There's non dairy milks for vegans.

During a recent visit to Chicago, I walked by this coffee shop two mornings in a row and was stopped in my tracks each time by the aromas escaping their front door. On my third morning, I decided to stop in. Several people had already assumed their positions at one of the tables inside, enjoying a bev and free wi-fi, when I was greeted warmly by the team member behind the counter. I decided on a hot chai latte, with oat milk and a shot of espresso. The flavors were so earthy and unrefined, like real coffee and tea should taste! I was also strong armed (not really) into trying a cinnamon old fashioned donut. This was a bonus because the donuts are brought in from Do-Rite Donuts and Chicken which was another establishment I was wanting to try while in town. The donut was nicely sized, moist and flavorful...all the things you want a donut to be! I look forward to the next time I'm in Chi-town when I will start my every morning with Osmium coffee!

Awesome place to pass a couple of hours. There's also a patio where you can relax outside if the weather is nice.The staff are very nice here and the selection is great - just a few, select specialties rather than an incredibly long menu.Whether you're looking for a spot to read for a bit or to get some work done, Osmium will take care of you.

Osmium Coffee Bar is suchhhhhh a vibe. I really like how this place has art all over their walls. When ordering a latte they also have art in those too =) It's a fun spot to grab a drink and hang out for a bit. I was here with a large group for a mid day caffeine treat and service was quick. It took about 10 mins for all of our orders to be prepared. Drinks are strong and delicious. They also have drinks that have a big spicy kick to em. This was a first time for me and I appreciated how unique their drinks are. They also have the classics, drip coffee, regular lattes, etc.There is plenty of seating, can fit about 40-50 people comfortably. Tables and seating at the coffee bar. I highly recommend checking this spot out if in the Lakeview area.

Amazing spot with many, many coffee options. Free refills if you get drip coffee--ask for a mug if you're planning to stay a bit! Friendly staff; mix of people working, on calls, and chatting. :) Didn't sit there, but there's also great seats by the window if you like people watching

At Osmium, I was not very impressed by the coffee or the atmosphere inside. I may have just gone on a bad day a few months ago but it was unpleasant. The coffee was very bitter and watery, and that is coming from someone who enjoys a strong coffee. I ordered a latte and somehow the shots, syrup, and milk appeared to separate, it was strangely watery and milky at the same time. The space inside is very small and would probably not be the best for accessibility, as it's very narrow. As an autistic person it was far too loud for me, but I should have just gone outside. Service was average, I understand we all have bad days so I won't judge!I'm hoping I went on a bad day. I might try again just to see if it's any better!

Stopped in on a Wednesday late morning to check out the amazing artwork on the walls (think fever dream/LSD induced graffiti vibes), stayed for a nitro cold brew (of four on tap!). The staff is kind, friendly and patient. They have some baked goods- vegan, gluten free too. The music is a bit loud and for some reason the wifi does not have a routable IP v4 physical adapter, so if you're trying to log into a government VPN, it's not going to work, Maybe not a problem in this town, but I'm visiting from DC and am a federal employee. I couldn't use my computer and had to relocate for work. I will be stopping back in later to buy some canned cold brew for home! SO SMOOTH. Comes in a plastic cup which is a bummer but oh well, they did warn me it would not be served in a glass.

Cute and cozy coffee in Lakeview. Osmium is part of the Dark Matter family, so off the bat you know you're going to get some delicious coffee. The walls are painted with cool, intricate designs that are really inviting and funky! I like that there's a decent sized bar area you can sit at and watch the baristas work their magic. The space overall is on the smaller size, but they do a good job optimizing space with lots of tables to work from. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese. They have some food items sourced from some local favorites -- Steingold bagels & Do-Rite donuts, but there's no kitchen, more of snack items to enjoy. There's a toaster at the front for you to toast your own bagel (which I saw after eating mine - lol!). Great place to get some work done if you WFH and need to get out of the house!

Dark Matter did it again - this is one of my new favorite spots to meet up with friends and gossip. Great music, high energy atmosphere, super nice baristas, and excellent drinks. The inside is also beautiful

I went to do some remote work there on a Friday morning and it was PACKED. At the same time, the wifi wasn't working so plan accordingly. Menu-wise, I was impressed by the specialty coffees. I'll definitely be coming back (when I don't need to work) to order some of their honey drinks. They all look delicious and I loved the fun cups and music playing!
