This week, it’s two guests in one car: Joshua, owner of Passion House Coffee Roasters, and Justin and Emily from indie band Engines.

We all met outside the Logan Square Passion House location and discussed:

• The house-made Passion House coffee syrups are phenomenal.
• “My State of Mind,” the new charity cold brew done in collaboration with SocialWorks (Chance the Rapper’s charity). It’s light and really easy to drink.
• The Car Con Carne car is a safe space.
• How Joshua grew (and continues to grow) Passion House.
• The band’s heads turned at the mention of “nearby head shop.”
• Pinball is the best game ever.
• Engines band history.
• Emily’s voice is awesome.
• The curious current status of Engines: “You’re still a band, right?” There are some personnel questions.
• How does an independent coffee establishment like Passion House compete against all the other coffee choices out there?
