In The Loop Coffee Co.
An independent café owned by Bill and Marisa Thom, with espresso, seasonal lattes, panini, soups and breakfast in the North Loop.
About In The Loop Coffee Co.
Bill and Marisa Thom opened In The Loop Coffee Co. with a personal idea: make coffee a place to share memories and learn the preferences of returning guests. Their shop is at 708 North First Street in the Itasca building, above the Acme Comedy Company area. It is more intimate than the neighborhood’s grand coffee rooms; its appeal lies in a small-team welcome and a menu that carries the day beyond the first latte.
The offering includes espresso, cortados and mochas, plus rotating specialty drinks; the business also lists coffees, teas, smoothies, sweet and savory pastries, soups, salads, sandwiches and breakfast items. Reviews praise the lattes, friendly baristas and panini; a cinnamon roll and banana-bread latte surface among the treats guests remember. For the current selection, the business points visitors to its online ordering page.
This is a more neighborly, less theatrical option than some North Loop cafés. Guests seeking a monumental interior may prefer another room, while those who value a barista remembering their order and uncomplicated food alongside coffee have a clear reason to stop here. Its official Sunday schedule is shorter than the rest of the week, useful to know when planning a weekend morning.
