Coffee shops can still sell drinks to go, despite the stay-at-home order.

Chicago’s caffeine addicts and aficionados won’t be surprised to hear that coffee shops are considered essential businesses under Governor J.B. Pritzker’s executive order. While some have closed their doors completely during the stay-at-home order, many are still offering to-go — and even some delivery — coffee and espresso drinks. Venue hours are subject to change, so it’s a good idea to check social media accounts or call ahead before venturing out.

We're still here for you, but with some changes! As of now, The Coffee Studio is going "Pick-Up Only". We've got a shiny new order pick-up table right inside our front door for you (but no entry beyond the door, for now). All orders need to be placed and paid for via our mobile app (or for those not able/ready to use the app you can order via phone at 773-271-7881). Please note that taking orders by phone is totally new for us, and might require some patience on everyone's part. We're also trying to get some web ordering up and running real soon, as another quick ordering option. Of course, we are making these changes to keep everyone safe, but we know that none of this is ideal... we're all just doing our best. Oh, and for anyone waiting for an order to be ready, you can find some markings on the sidewalk outside the shop... a reminder to give everyone the extra space we all need right now. We can't wait to invite you all back into the shop when we can... we do miss your faces! #coffee #preorder #pickup #andersonville #stillopen #inthistogether

When we decided to open up in Irving Park people were like “damn, why all the way up there?” And I was like “because it’s a community and I want to be in a place where the neighbors look out for one another” one of our neighbors/regulars is the insanely talented and crazy cool @filthyfreehand . I asked her if she’d be down to paint a faux window pane for our booth at @complexcon and this is the beaut she whipped up in like an hour. She’s a fucking G and if you need hand painted signage made you 100% need to hit her up. Thank you Sarah, you are exactly the kind of person we came up here in hopes of meeting when we opened this little coffeeshop. . . #oldirvingpark #friendswhoinspire #handpaintedsigns #womensignpainters #oldworldcraftsmanship #skills #flexin
