Editorial Review for Filter – by John Dugan
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.

Know Before You GoIf 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 ExtrasFilter has cheap wireless Internet access for the laptop-and-latte generation, priced at $3 per hour, $8 per day or $20 per month.
