From the Chicago newsletter, August 5, 2026

“Luckycat is serving Chicago coffee with an Asian twist in Lakeview East, pouring Yunnan-sourced beans and creative sippers like black sesame lattes, osmanthus-honey matcha, and Kyoto-style slow-drip cold brew. Swing by when you want something thoughtful, bright, and way more interesting than your usual.”
