My House: the New Coffee House in Logan Square
By Mary Kuhn, October 1, 2007
On a busy stretch of Fullerton Avenue between Kedzie and Kimball, a new neighborhood cafe called My House opened its doors on Friday to a cafe-hungry Logan Square. My House serves Fair Trade, organic coffee, and teas, and features tasty Guatemalan sweets. I tried the galletas – simple crunchy butter cookies, available with or without sprinkles – and found them to my liking.
The space feels like a good friend's basement, complete with board games stacked on the tables, guitars on the wall, and video games near the back of the cafe. During my visit, I put on headphones while studying but soon heard the sound of a live guitar over my quiet Piano Concerto #5 by Beethoven. I looked back and one of the guitars was off the wall in the owner's capable hands. He played some pleasant and unknown (to me) acoustic tunes while I sipped my red iced tea and finished my Spanish lesson. Muy tranquilo.
My House is located at 3304 W. Fullerton in Logan Square.
YAY! Logan Square was in desperate need of a coffee joint. I can't wait to visit this one (though it will no displace my love of MoJoe's).

Thank God! Now I can go to a coffee shop in the neighborhood.
