I really wanted to like this place but the customer service made the experience uncomfortable. When my friend and I walked in the woman who helped us gave off very weird vibes. Her tone felt condescending and a bit dismissive, not friendly or welcoming at all. We ordered and waited for our drinks and then saw another customer come in and get a completely different level of treatment. She was told about discounts for teachers and healthcare workers, which we hadn’t been informed of. When I politely asked about the healthcare worker discount afterward, the same lady responded in a strange, almost irritated tone. It didn’t feel like a simple “Oh yes, we do. Just mention it next time” type of interaction. We kept things friendly the whole time but even my friend felt the same off energy. It almost felt like we were being treated differently because of the way we looked, which was disappointing. To be fair, the drinks were great and well made, but the lack of warmth and attitude from the staff completely ruined the vibe for us. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back.

Today, I stopped at Necessary and Sufficient Coffee, a grab and go coffee shop and eatery. There's no seating inside the small venue or outside, but if you're in the neighborhood, you should definitely stop by. I got there around 10:30AM, and the line was 8 people deep. But I was out with my meal in under 10 minutes. I asked for the most popular, sweet, and creamy Iced Coffee and got a Canela coffee with hints of honey and vanilla. I appreciated the dusting of cinnamon they sprinkled on top. I love cinnamon in my coffee. I also ordered a Ham and Cheese Morning Bun and was shocked when I opened the container and found a Ham and Cheese Pinwheel style sandwich. I've never seen a savory sandwich made in cinnamon roll style before. I'm a huge fan of toasted cheese, and this sandwich had plenty of that. But the real surprise was inside. Juicy, delicious ham, and stone ground mustard. Mmm, mmm, good! I wish there had been more mustard or at least a side of it because I love mustard, and the sandwich could have used the extra moisture. But as far as grab and go sandwiches, this one is unique and very good. I wanted a chocolate chip cookie, but they didn't have any, or anything else chocolate. Their menu rotates, which can be both a blessing or a curse. But they did have Donuts, which I believe are only served on the weekends. They had blueberry, old-fashioned, and Red Velvet. I'm a sucker for old-fashioned donuts. The donut alone was worth the trip - light, moist, sweet, and rich. It perfectly rounded out breakfast with the last sips of my coffee. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They use biodegradable utensils, which is definitely a plus. Please note that they don't accept cash. There is another location in Printer's Row at 728 S Dearborn St. It's bigger and offers dine-in and take out options. I'll try to go there within the next few weeks and tell you about it, but if you're in the neighborhood, check it out.

First time trying coffee from this place, and I really loved it🥰 the young man that took our older was really polite and when I asked him about the flavors he had. He was really helpful. I ordered the caramel latte., cookie dough latte, and he recommended me the ham and cheese sandwich. It was really really delicious. The sauce that they put in the sandwich was super delicious. 😋 I will be back.

When a coffee shop knows how to make honey oat latte, they stand out to me. You’ll be surprised how something so basic is often screwed up by coffee shops. Also helps that the service was good! Would def recommend

Stopped by for a coffee - got a simple vanilla latte and tried their feta bun; absolutely delicious. They heated or toasted? the bun for me and it was incredible. The coffee was perfect- not too sweet. First time trying, I’ll be coming back soon!
