Artur and Iryna Yuzvik, Ukrainian entrepreneurs and owners of Karma Kava in Ukraine, have successfully launched their first U.S. coffee shop, Soloway Coffee, in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Their grand opening saw a tremendous turnout with nonstop lines and customers traveling from various states to experience their unique offerings, including the Dotyk dripper, a ceramic brewing device from Ukraine. The couple is already planning a second location due to the overwhelming response. Their coffee shop not only serves exceptional coffee but also features a partnership with Dan "the Baker" Koester, offering an array of pastries and savory items. With plans for an all-day menu, an outdoor patio, and pop-up events, Soloway Coffee is set to become a staple in Chicago's vibrant coffee scene, reflecting the strong Ukrainian influence in the area and showcasing the supportive nature of the local business community.
