id=\"Highlights\"><\/span>Highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A working roastery, not a caf\u00e9 buying beans in: roasting happens on site a few times a week in a

people.<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi, power outlets and seating that tolerates a laptop \u2014 a genuinely workable room, not a merely tolerant one.<\/li>\n<li>Bags to take home, and beans that are worth taking home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_in_the_cup\"><\/span>What&#8217;s in the cup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the axis that matters here, so start with the structure. Gaslight roasts its own coffee, on the premises, a few times a week, in a room separated from the caf\u00e9 by glass. That single fact changes the relationship between the bar and the cup: the espresso is not a fixed house blend delivered by a supplier but a rotating pair of single origins chosen by the people who roasted them, with a batch brew running alongside for anyone who wants filter without a wait.<\/p>\n<p>The origin list reads like a working roaster&#8217;s list rather than a marketing one \u2014 Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Guatemala, Honduras \u2014 which in practice means the bar can swing between a bright, structured East African and something rounder and more chocolate-forward from Central America depending on the week. The espresso comes off a two-group machine built for temperature stability and pressure control, which is why the milk drinks stay consistent: the flat white is the drink regulars quote, gently sweet, with a dense rather than airy texture.<\/p>\n<p>Filter is treated as a real category. The batch brew is unusually good \u2014 clean, crisp and the kind of drip coffee that people remember weeks later \u2014 and it is the cheapest way to find out whether you want a bag of the same thing on the way out. Guest roasters rotate through the bar as well, which gives the room a second dimension: on a good week you can drink the house roast and somebody else&#8217;s beside it and taste the difference directly.<\/p>\n<p>One honest note. The non-coffee drinks are not the strong suit, and matcha in particular divides opinion sharply here; iced drinks also arrive with a generous amount of ice. If you are coming for coffee, this is one of the better bars in the city. If you are coming for something else, temper the expectation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whos_behind_it\"><\/span>Who&#8217;s behind it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gaslight was founded by <strong>Tristan Coulter<\/strong> and <strong>Zak Rye<\/strong>, who came out of Metropolis \u2014 one of the roasteries that built specialty coffee in Chicago before most of the city knew the category existed. Two people who have already worked inside a serious roasting operation tend to open a very particular kind of caf\u00e9, and this is it: the roaster is not a decorative object in the window but the reason the business exists, and the retail counter, the wholesale side and the caf\u00e9 are three faces of the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>It also explains the choice of building. Rather than a clean rectangular unit, they took the awkward triangular end of a corner block, kept the exposed brick, the wooden floorboards and the old ceiling beams, and furnished it with reclaimed wood, vintage lanterns and a few pieces of taxidermy. It is a rustic aesthetic that could easily have tipped into costume; what keeps it honest is that the equipment behind it is serious and the room is arranged around the work rather than around the photograph.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_its_for\"><\/span>What it&#8217;s for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Laptop work and long sessions.<\/strong> This is the strongest single reason to come, and it is unusual for a roastery caf\u00e9 to be this well set up for it. There is Wi-Fi, there are power outlets, and \u2014 the part people notice first \u2014 there is space: a wide, light-filled room with more seating than the frontage suggests. The long communal table at the back takes around ten people and is the obvious choice for a working morning; the two-person tables along the wall suit anyone who wants to be left alone. Nobody moves you along.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasting coffee properly.<\/strong> Sit at the counter, where seven bar stools face the espresso machine, and drink the two single origins against each other. In a room where the roaster is twenty feet away, that is a more interesting hour than it would be almost anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A conversation between two people.<\/strong> The room is large enough and the sound diffuse enough that a real conversation works. The regular description of the atmosphere \u2014 a hum of focused talk rather than a roar \u2014 is accurate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sitting alone.<\/strong> Very comfortable. The fold-down cinema seats in the front window are effectively built for one person watching the avenue go past, and the natural light through the corner glass does the rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buying beans.<\/strong> Retail is part of the point. If the batch brew works for you, the same coffee goes home in a bag.<\/p>\n<p>Less suited to: an evening plan, or a group of more than four who want their own table. This is a daytime operation, and it winds down in the late afternoon rather than turning into a night room.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_space\"><\/span>The space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The building is the first thing you notice: a narrow wedge with the entrance at its sharpest point, bicycles parked in the tight spaces on either side of the door. Inside, the room widens as it goes back, which makes it feel considerably larger than the frontage promises. Exposed brick, wooden floorboards and a whitewashed ceiling with old beams set the tone; corner glazing floods the front with daylight for most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Seating comes in registers. Four vintage cinema fold-down seats face the front window on one side; square two-person tables fill the other. The counter runs along one wall with seven high stools beside it, which is where you sit if you want to watch the espresso being made. More tables run down the far wall, and at the very back a communal picnic-style table seats around ten. Behind that again, visible through windows, is the roastery.<\/p>\n<p>The mood is calm and purposeful. Wooden tables, soft light, people reading and working, the machine noise cycling in the background. Guests describe the energy as creative rather than sleepy, which is a fair distinction \u2014 this is a room where people get things done, not one where they doze over a cup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beyond_coffee\"><\/span>Beyond coffee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but with a caveat you should know before you arrive hungry. Gaslight has long been unusual among American specialty roasteries in running an actual kitchen, and at its fullest that kitchen turned out a short seasonal menu \u2014 poached duck eggs, house-made pickles, charcuterie, and tartines built on ricotta with pear or salmon with goat cheese, capers and chives \u2014 served through the first half of the day alongside cakes and pastries.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, what is on the counter on any given day varies, and more than one recent visitor has arrived expecting the full menu and found a pastry case instead. The honest advice is to check what is actually available when you order rather than planning your lunch around the online version, and to ask directly about allergens \u2014 nut content in particular is not always signposted, and the staff will tell you if you ask. What is reliably there: a small but solid selection of baked goods, and toast-and-pastry options that pair with the coffee rather than competing with it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_come\"><\/span>When to come<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mornings are the best of this caf\u00e9, and early mornings are the best of the mornings: the light through the corner windows is at its strongest, the room is calm, and if you want the communal table or a cinema seat in the window, that is when you get to choose. Mid-morning through the middle of the day is the working peak, when the laptops come out and the room fills without ever becoming chaotic.<\/p>\n<p>Afternoons soften again and are the underrated slot for a conversation or a slow filter. Weekends bring a different crowd \u2014 neighborhood rather than remote-working, more people who came specifically for the coffee. If you can time your visit to a roasting day, do: the smell on the sidewalk is a genuine part of the experience, and the coffee on the shelf is at its freshest. This is a daytime room and does not run into the evening. Current opening times are in the schedule block on this page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_there\"><\/span>Getting there<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You are in Logan Square, on the diagonal spine of the neighborhood, at the point where two avenues cut across each other and produce the triangular block the caf\u00e9 sits on. The Blue Line is the obvious way in \u2014 both the Logan Square and California stops are within a comfortable walk, and the Logan Square stop puts you near the boulevard and its monument, which is the easiest landmark to navigate by.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated trail that runs through this part of the North Side passes nearby, which makes the caf\u00e9 a natural stop on a bike ride; the racks by the door confirm that a lot of people arrive that way. If you drive, treat street parking in Logan Square as a matter of luck rather than planning.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_to_know\"><\/span>Good to know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Four things. First, ask what the two espressos are today and drink both if you have the time \u2014 the rotating pair is the whole design of the bar, and ordering a default cappuccino leaves the interesting part on the table. Second, the batch brew is genuinely excellent and the fastest route to a good cup if you are in a hurry. Third, if you plan to work, this is one of the more reliable rooms in the city for it: space, light, power and a staff that does not hover.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, and practically: check the food situation at the counter rather than assuming, and mention any allergy before you order. Beyond that, take a bag home \u2014 the roastery is the point of the business, and the coffee you drank is on the shelf on the way out.<\/p>\n<p>One last thing worth knowing about the character of the place. The service style here is grounded rather than performative: you get looked after without being hurried, which is rarer than it should be in caf\u00e9s that take their coffee this seriously. It is the reason the room fills with regulars rather than tourists, despite sitting on one of the busiest corners in Logan Square.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers\"><\/span>Questions and answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do they roast on site?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes \u2014 in a room at the back of the caf\u00e9, visible through windows, a few times a week. On roasting days you can smell it from the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Espresso or filter \u2014 which should I order?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both are taken seriously. There are usually two single-origin espressos on the bar at once, which is the interesting order; the batch brew is unusually good and the quickest route to a clean, crisp cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I work here with a laptop?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, and this is one of the better rooms in the city for it. Wi-Fi, power outlets, plenty of natural light and more seating than the narrow frontage suggests, including a communal table at the back for about ten people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there food?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are baked goods reliably, and a short kitchen menu that has historically included things like poached duck eggs, house pickles and tartines. What is actually available varies by day, so check at the counter rather than relying on the online menu \u2014 and ask about allergens, which are not always signposted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I buy beans to take home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. Retail is part of the business, and the coffee on the shelf is the coffee you just drank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it good for a group?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Up to about four, comfortably; the communal table at the back can take a larger group if it is free. At the peak of a weekday morning, do not count on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about non-coffee drinks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They exist but are not the strength \u2014 matcha in particular divides opinion, and iced drinks come heavily iced. Order coffee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blue Line to Logan Square or California, then a short walk to the corner where the two diagonal avenues meet.
