Tucked inside the Green Street Smoked Meats building, Sawada is the Chicago outpost of Japanese barista champion Hiroshi Sawada, and it shows in every cup. The Military Latte — a matcha-espresso hybrid — is iconic and worth the hype. The space is small and intimate, so seating is limited and it fills up fast during peak hours.
