Necessary & Sufficient Coffee

Specialty coffee and seasonal food are at the center of this artist-led café. The menu includes espresso drinks, drip coffee, single-origin pour overs, cold brew, iced coffee, and seasonal mocktails. One café is a take-out window, while the Printers Row location offers seating and a kitchen with breakfast and lunch options. Catering is available from the Printers Row café for meetings and gatherings, with delivery and clear portions. The business began as an art and social change project in Logan Square and opened its second location in 2023. Both cafés operate with a zero-waste model, using compostable to-go containers and sorting compost and recycling. The cafés are in Chicago.
