"Excellent espresso (had the single origin Columbian), served the proper way with mineral water on the side. Unique place, very friendly and chill staff. Latin American vibe, decor and food. Chill music, not too loud, not too quiet. A variety of seating.. corners to read in, tables to chat or work at. Affiliated with the plant shop next door. Highly highly recommend! Arguably one of the best coffee shops in the city.."

"Look at my food with that nice plate, glazed crust, and streaky cold brew. Perfection. The space is really nice, the coffee and food are fantastic, price is reasonable, and I got a nice big table with a power outlet. I came here randomly after visiting Clark Street Sports, but I wish I lived closer- I’d be here a lot!"

"Cafe Cactus is a breath of fresh air-literally and vibe-wise. From the thoughtful setup to the creative menu, every detail feels intentional. The staff are genuinely welcoming, making both regulars and first-timers feel like part of the crew. It’s the kind of place you stumble into once and end up craving regularly. A local gem☕️ 🥐"

"Very solid spot with great interior decor, vibes, and coffee. The shop may seem small at first but there's a whole section in the rear with a lot of seating and even more cactai. Coffee was very good and the Mexican pastries were delicious. Great spot that's very worth your time to try."

"I live close by and just stopped in for the first time and I’m so glad I did! The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind, the drink was super good (I got the coco cloud matcha), and the atmosphere is fabulous. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
