Map
Black-owned coffee shop in West Loop that plays nostalgic shows and movies throughout the day and hosts DJ sets every weekend
Drip Collective
A Halloween themed coffee shop in Bridgeport. Also played rock music, setting it apart from other coffee shops. Must order: the raspberry cheesecake muffin 😍
Jackalope Coffee & Tea House
A coffee shop in the basement of a church. Their drinks are very good (I highly recommend the Tiger Spice Chai), and they always come with a butter cookie 🤗
Holy Grounds - St. Paul's Catholic Church
A cozy Black-owned coffee shop on the west side. They always have fire seasonal drinks (ex: sweet potato latter & coquito latte) and they have art on the walls you can browse and event purchase. Also a great community space for events.
Muse Coffee Studio
A coffee shop in a literal alleyway in downtown Chicago. If you’re not paying attention, you’ll miss it. They also have very unique drink specials and offer plenty of bagel sandwich options
Hero Coffee Bar
An authentic Mexican-owned coffee shop in Pilsen that is bright and colorful and cozy. They have a full menu of drinks and food. Literally every speciality drink I’ve had here has been so good and never watered down — coffees and teas might I add.
La Malinche Coffee & Tea House
This isn’t an average coffee shop as it also turns into a NA cocktail bar at night! It’s located in the lobby of a local hotel and has a huge and beautiful outdoor patio so it’s great for a daytime and a nighttime vibe.
