“ This was such a wonderful experience! The space is tasteful and, as in the name, cozy. Felt real. Ricky, the owner who was serving, asked me right away how my day was going — but in a way that communicated that he ACTUALLY wanted to know. And given the morning I’d had, this was sooo welcomed. The coffee was great and I loved the original names with personal meaning he had given to each pastry (one was named after his late Mama Loretta, another after his favorite jazz musician and when anyone orders it, he plays a particular song.) I learned about how dedicated he is to creating this warm, inviting and authentic space for the community, and his fascinating backstory of working a super well paid job, then giving it up for this dream. I only wish I lived closer to this special gem of warmth and kindness in this often rushed and cold city. ”
“ Great selection of delicious pastries as well as pretty decent options of coffee and cold brew coffees! Amazing customer service and such a chill atmosphere inside the shop. Highly recommend to check it out if you're in the West Ridge/ Rogers Park or Evanston area! ”
“ Cozy is definitely a good word to describe this place. A small classic cafe with a fairly standard menu, the owner was very friendly and the space while small was very inviting. Lots of decor themed around jazz & r&b and a few small tables to sit at. If you live nearby this is definitely a place you should consider trying. ”
“ Amazing and cozy place. Ricky is fun and personable, who lives to talk about coffee and his business. Funny names of his food is super creative. Definitely a must go. ”
“ Excellent neighborhood coffee shop. Had the light roast and a Smokey Joe cinnamon roll, both great. Awesome little place to get coffee if you’re in the area. Barista was friendly, professional and welcoming. Highly recommended. ”
“ This place is awesome and I love the cozy and welcoming atmosphere! I was greeted promptly with a smile and given a rundown of all that they had to offer. The pastries were fresh and tasty. There’s something for everybody. Everything is reasonable priced. If you’re a tea and coffee connoisseur this is the place for you. ”
“ Very chill ambience with glass top tables and casual seating. The Urban Morning Cozy Cafe is a decent place to put on the breaks and enjoy the vibe. Photos of music greats adorn the tables. The coffees feature a great variety including a dark roast latte that I found refreshing. The edible items run from cinnamon rolls to the Mama Loretta Nutella Croissant, with beverages varying from bottled water to pop and other nonalcoholic beverages. Did I mention the selections are surprisingly affordable? It’s a one-of-a-kind coffee shop for the distinctly amiable atmosphere, not to be missed if you get out to the Far North Side. ”
“ This place is everything a good local coffee shop should be. Ricky is a wonderful person to interact with. The cold brew and cinnamon roll I got was delicious! ”
