I wasn't aware they roasted their own coffee, but it's a very well-liked cafe in the heart of Hipsterland.

I looked through the site and I'm still not aware they roast their own coffee. I think it's just a cafe.

The cafe is up in Wicker Park but the coffee is roasted about 20 feet from my desk, here at Adams & Wabash. My landlord and his girlfriend are the people behind it, and they took in part of the office kitchen this summer to put in the roasters. We have pallets of coffee beans stacked next to the men's room. Recently I've noticed that they have a little mail-order operation going out of one of the other big rooms on the floor, and I'm told that it's for some fancy coffeemaker that they found wasn't being sold in the US. Unfortunately, I've never had any of the coffee. Every time I go back to brew my utility-grade afternoon cup in my old Senseo, I hope to find a spigot in the wall, but no luck so far.

Been by the cafe many, many, many times, but have never been in there.

I have spoken with Stephan. They are dealers in Bonavita Coffee Makers, as well as other high end equipment. I will probably order one of these from them, as it is half the price of a technivorm. Waiting for a few more reviews.

Stephan is also very generous with knowledge.

I have heard of Buzz Beer, is it made with Buzz Coffee?

I was aware that there's kind of a glut of downtown office space but didn't realize it had come to this.
Next they'll be brewing beer in the Sears tower...

Here in the East Loop there are still some bargains, and I landed in a little "arts colony" that Stephan has set up on the top floor of the Bennett Bros. Building. If any Chicagoans are looking for Loop desk or office space and think you'd fit in, PM me.
