Back to Wicker Park I go!
This time it was initially off to see some friends and explore the Wicker Park street fest! But my coffee mate has highly recommended a local cafe she frequents to do work and really enjoys their coffee. We agreed this would be our meeting place before hitting the street fest.
Located right on Division Street in Wicker Park this place is clearly the hangout for locals to grab some coffee and enjoy the inside seating, well equipped for people coming to do work, or the large spacious patio seating out front on the street. Due to the high volume of people inside working I grabbed some bench out front and waited for my friend to arrive.
Fun Sarah fact:
I have been “blessed” with full, fluffy, frizzy hair that has a mind of it’s own. Nicknamed the Garth, the character from Wayne’s World, it gets that bad.
The humidity this particular morning was in true Chicago fashion, melt your face off humid. If the humidity had not been through the roof that day I would have normally loved sitting on the patio, the sidewalk space in Wicker Park is UNBEATABLE! I would move there for just that reason.
Luckily I grabbed my coffee while waiting for my friend, I needed something to cool me down, also had to tame the Garth, it was not helping. I knew I was going iced today, and Caffe Streets uses a Chemex to order drip coffee. This has become my favorite method of making iced coffee right now. I brew a standard three cups of cold brew a day so it can chill overnight in the fridge. 🙂 My boyfriend is coffee spoiled or he secretly is ready to throw me out a window as I drown him in coffee. We’ll stick with the first option until otherwise.
Anyways, I was distracted when looking at the menu because there was a Monkey Latte option! Of course there has to be banana flavor in the latte, dead giveaway, but Caffe Streets makes their own banana sweetener for the lattes from real bananas! Decision. Was. Made.
It was delicious! They sprinkle the top with cinnamon and the banana flavor is a very subtle sweet addition to the latte. If anything there was to much milk added to this particular latte, very hard to taste the espresso through the milk and banana. Though tasty I would not order this again. I do on the other hand need to get back to the Streets and check out their Chemex techniques, we can compare notes. I like to think I have truly mastered brewing for iced coffee, but I would love to learn some new tricks.
Do any of you have Chemex brewing method stories?! Would love to hear others experiences: successes or first time trials.

First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out
there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to
figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due
to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post
was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t
already 😉 Cheers!
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot
of spam remarks? If so how do you prevent
it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me
insane so any help is very much appreciated.
I do believe all of the concepts you have introduced to your post.
They are very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners.
Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.
