In Short
This coffeehouse is as bustling as the intersection of Damen, North and Milwaukee where it resides. Students, professionals and artists wind down or gear up amid vintage earth-toned velour couches and post-industrial khaki green walls, with light flooding in two walls of windows. The menu is loaded with semi-healthy, hip cafe grub: chicken wraps, spinach salads, sweet potato fries and pesto sandwiches. A full breakfast menu is also offered. Efficient servers range from cheery to blasé.

Filter was the most awesome-ist place. The bank that now reside in its place was soooo unnecessary and completely out of place in that area.

Bring back Filter! or something like. Did we really need another bank in the neighborhood??? We are short on coffee shops....and a filter-like atmosphere is what we need.

This place was torn down months ago and replaced with a bank. It was great. Stupid capitalism. darn.
