The thoughtfulness underpinning the drinks at Two Mile Coffee, a light-soaked Beverly café, could be borrowed from a seasonally driven tasting menu. So might the evolving catalog of flavors: Come chilly weather, the offerings revel in savory grace notes (think lattes laced with cedar-smoked vanilla syrup or nutty miso caramel), while the warmer months bring playful refreshers like sparkling matcha swirled with mango juice and housemade calamansi honey syrup. The shop’s back door exits directly onto the platform of the 99th Street Metra station, making it a popular weekday pit stop for Loop commuters, but these drinks are special enough to warrant a dedicated visit. 9907 S.
