Purple Llama Cafe

Ready to visit the funkiest cafe shop in Chicago?

This was a completely unplanned and unexpected coffee shop visit, I actually cannot even take the credit for finding this one. It was not on my radar at all, Danny saved the morning by finding this gem! 

Purple Llama

Happy Memorial Day morning! Of course planned to visit a coffee shop on my day off along with all my adulting tasks for the week cause we know I was not an adult this weekend. Have to rest for the work week, does anyone else have to do this?

What are the things you love accomplishing the day before work? For me it’s typically grocery shopping, working out and meal prepping to make the week easier.

So back to planning my coffee shop trip, I wanted to check out this cafe in Bucktown call Red June,  its suppose to be a hidden neighborhood gem, also dog friendly!

BUT Sarah here completely forgot to check if they had special holiday hours, sadness. We arrive only to discover they were closed. This is where Danny swoops in to save the morning as we both are starting to get the caffeine itch, he suggests Purple Llama just down the road in Wicker Park. Kicking myself for not knowing about this place, it’s AWESOME!  

Purple Llama is the combination of music and coffee, just too perfect of a pair. They are located on Division Street and have beautiful purple flowers plated on their patio. With purple being my favorite color I was jazzed to see this while walking up. The inside is very clear and simple with funky llama murals painted on the wall and accents of purple. Tucked into the back corner illuminated by a purple neon light is the record selection they have in store. If you check online you can order records through them too. 

It was a beautiful morning and a 90 degree weekend so I was totally getting something cold. I have never actually tried my Chai Latte on ice, so I took this as my opportunity to give it a try! My only gripe with the drink was it needed another shot of espresso to balance the milk that was added. I should have thought to add this, but figure I see what it was like over ice normally first. Delicious and as the ice melts it helps cut the Chai spice flavor, so if you’re on the fence about this drink I would recommend trying it iced.

This cafe is totally funktastic! If I was not also trying to be an adult and get a few errands and such out of the way for the day i would have loved to sit on the patio surrounded by the beautiful purple flowers. Nuzzled right on Division if you have the right type of shades this would be a perfect place to grab a coffee and get some good people watching done! and

I’ll be back 🙂

    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had

    few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a
    linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

  39. This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent
    job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

  40. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her
    ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  41. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net
    from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
    the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am
    anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
    content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  42. Howdy! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be
    able to resolve this problem. If you have any suggestions, please
    share. With thanks!

  43. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing
    to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries
    that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  44. certainly like your website however you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    A number of them are rife with spelling issues and
    I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other
    hand I’ll definitely come back again.

  45. This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my
    own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic
    job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!

  46. Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I’m impressed!
    Very useful information specially the last part :
    ) I care for such information a lot. I was looking for
    this particular information for a long time. Thank
    you and best of luck.

  47. I do accept as true with all the ideas you’ve presented to your post.

    They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for starters.

    Could you please extend them a bit from next time?
    Thank you for the post.

  48. I think that everything composed made a great deal of
    sense. However, what about this? suppose you wrote a catchier title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog,
    however what if you added a headline that makes people
    want more? I mean Purple Llama Cafe * is kinda boring.

    You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news titles to grab viewers to click.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written.
    Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

    great article has truly peaked my interest. I am going to bookmark your blog and keep checking for new details about once

    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  51. Hello there! This article could not be written much better!

  52. My coder is intending to persuade me to go to .net from PHP.
    I actually have always disliked the concept because of the costs.

    websites for roughly a year and am anxious about switching to another one platform.
    I have heard great reasons for having blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I could transfer my wordpress content with it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
