Get one of the world's best cups of coffee at Helm

The intrigue: You may not have visited Helm — the unassuming shop tucked away in Garfield Park — but there's a good chance you've seen (and sipped) their coffee around town.

• The colorful bags are hard to miss on shelves at local coffee shops and bakeries, including Amelia's, Provider and Bovaconti.

The vibe: Inside the gray cinderblock building, you'll find lots of light, plants and comfy places to sit.

Brew of the week: Normally, we don't just recommend a cup of coffee here but if there's a place to get "just" a cup of coffee, this is it. Get whatever pour over your barista recommends and enjoy a transcendent experience.

• If you need something sweeter, the ube latte is unbeatable — made with ube syrup from Indy-based, Filipino-inspired cookie shop Salamat.

If you go: 2324 Shelby St.

• Open 8am-2pm Friday to Sunday.
