I like Wormhole, and I already dig the new Gaslight. The rear roasting space is appararently communal, as the beans also get used by Wormhole, which is located much father down Milwaukee just south of North Ave in Wicker Park. Not sure if these will rotate throughout the year, but as of January 2013, this is it. And so I took the bait.Īll of Gaslight's beans are roasted in the back of the space, and come from a few different origins: Guatemala, El Salvador, and Rwanda.
Zak Rye (former Metropolis roaster) and Tristan Coulter's new coffee shop seemed like a good enough answer. For the last few months, I'd been getting my fill from Tonx (specialty roasters with an online-only business that ships out bi-weekly, single origin beans to subscribers), but I was right on the edge of my next shipment, so I needed a fix. And all the while they bustle, crooning tunes waft over the place from an LP spinner in the far corner.īut let's not get distracted. Without the slightest whiff of pretentious 1 bullshit (leave that to Cafe Mustache, a stone's throw south), the staff bustles behind the horseshoe-shaped coffee bar: ringing at the iPad register, scurrying to-go cups to commuters, channeling the Strada espresso machine, measuring freshly roasted beans into brown bags, shuttling plates of charcuterie, holstering readily accessible smiles. Gaslight’s stark, brick-on-wood aesthetic with sparingly hung taxidermy reinforces a notion of both minimalism and straight business - the baristas here aren't screwing around, and neither is their coffee. This draws you into the open, breathable spacing of tables and coffee bar - enough to detract you from mistaking the place for a prohibition-era speakeasy. Seated at this pointed corner of the intersection permits Gaslight to receive a welcome bloom of natural light along its wall of glass. Thankfully, Gaslight sits comfortably at Fullerton and Milwaukee, so the sticky ice didn’t have long to cling unwanted atop my mop of hair. I finally got around to visiting it on a dreary Sunday in January, right around the time the weather decided to shit both snow and sleet intermittently on my walk up Humboldt Blvd. Gaslight Coffee Roasters is the latest entrant near Milwaukee Ave in Logan Square, the street that is slowly becoming a coffee mecca for Chicago.
