•First time here at this cafe and it’s a 10/10. Would 100% recommend this place. Came from Orlando, Florida •It’s a very maintained place, small little cafe with cute decor. The atmosphere was welcoming and very friendly from the moment you walk in. Uvian & Zach ARE AMAZING! •They have specialty shakes, *side note; are you a caffeine person?! You can add espresso shots free of charge.

Beautiful coffee shop! We got a plethora of drinks - hot mocha, French toast latte, chocolate shake, and a decaf coffee. We also got a cinnamon muffin and it was totally delicious! The shop is relatively small but there’s large windows and bar seating that are great for working on a laptop. There’s also a number of tables to sit at and some merchandise like stickers, coasters, cards and various jewelry for sale. It’s cute!

A vanilla milkshake at 9 in the morning? Um, yes, please! I stopped in on Saturday morning and was welcomed right away. It smelled terrific inside, and the hunger started to kick in. Before coming in from checking out the menu online, I knew I wanted a simple vanilla milkshake. I ordered it without the espresso. I also added their breakfast sandwich with bacon to have something savory for breakfast. The milkshake was a delicious, rich, creamy vanilla with a nice amount of whipped cream and a wafer. The breakfast sandwich was excellent, and it had the perfect fluffy egg. The bacon was nice and flavorful, and the hot sauce I added that they provided added that nice kick to tie it all together. A powerful bite packed in between an English muffin. Both the milkshake and sandwich hit the spot, and I devoured them with great satisfaction. I will definitely be coming here again.

Better Together Cafe has been on our list and we paid them a visit recently! They offer a wide variety of espresso/latte drinks and have a nice breakfast sandwich menu. We love that they use Interval coffee and Highlands Honey! We’ll have to try their popular milkshakes (that you can add espresso to) next time!

Cute sidewalk seating for sweaty cyclists. Cold and refreshing milkshakes with an option to add a shot of espresso (nice touch!). Muffins, yum. They also had Gluten-Free scones but we didn’t try them. They were happy to let us refill water bottles as well. Great turn around stop near the south end of Grant Park.

Stopped by after getting our emissions next door. Such a cute spot. The person who took our order was so kind to us. We ordered butterscotch lattes and THEY WERE SO GOOD. It seems like a hidden gem to us, so I hope the neighborhood takes care of them. Will absolutely be back

My first time here and my high expectations were definitely met!! Our S'mores espresso milkshakes were absolutely delicious. They even used a mini blowtorch to toast the marshmallows!!! Sausage and egg breakfast sandwich was equally delicious. Also had a few Red Eye coffees which were strong and bold. I really enjoyed the ambiance inside. Fast and friendly service topped off a flawless experience. Definitely will be a repeat customer

Absolutely amazing place to bring your coffee lovers!!! I came here 2 days in a row trying to order everything! I ordered something from the menu and asked them to make me a strawberry mocha coffee milkshake and they did! It was so amazing! I will make this my treat spot! This is a cute spot you have to try at least 5x in your life! The prices are perfect for the size and amount you get! I am happy we found this place and got to try it out! We ordered the flavor of the month for 12 and it was good!
