The Best Little Coffeehouse in Town~
April 18, 2006
Though I am EXTREMELY hesitant to give this tip away, I have a new favorite cafe. It's a super-charming, brick-walled coffee shop attached to a nifty mini-market smack in the middle of Humboldt Park. They serve delicious sandwiches and little pizzas, creamy lattes and my top choice--big bowls of vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and whipped cream ($2). Except for the lunch rush, the place is deserted and it's such a calm oasis for those that like peace and quiet when they work on their laptops (ummm, me). The Wi-Fi is free and very fast and you can literally sit all day long without ever feeling like you've overstayed your welcome. The name? Hmmmm....like I said, I'm terrified to tell you, lest you populate it with crowds every day. Well, all right---I'm only givin' it up because I never want them to close (they've been open less than a year). It's called New Life Cafe. Now, good luck finding the address!!! Oh, the manager also whips up a mean batch of pies; I'm dying to try the coconut cream...
