What People Are Saying About Filter

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. –
I want my Filter back!!!
by Irrotc
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.

The Details on Filter
Know Before You Go:
If you're planning on getting any work done at Filter, bring some earplugs. The cafe's sound system can sometimes be a bit loud and the room's hard cement surfaces are reflective, cranking up the noise level.
The Extras:
Filter has cheap wireless Internet access for the laptop-and-latte generation, priced at $3 per hour, $8 per day or $20 per month.
