If you need to escape the Cubs fans on the Red Line, the Cubs fans in Wrigleyville, the Cubs fans who forgot that baseball season ended, or just avoid sports in general, hide out at Osmium Coffee Bar. Osmium’s baked goods and kickass Dark Matter Coffee will keep you content through the sports seasons and beyond. The atmosphere is chill, the staff is happy to give a recommendation for beverages and you’re unlikely to encounter aggressive sports people. Or the aggressive phone-talking business folks at Starbucks. Not every season is a good season to be a Cubs fan, but every season is a good season for Osmium. (Amanda Finn) 1117 W.
