I think Coffee Lab & Roasters in Lake View East takes the cake for my favorite coffee shop! Great vibes, friendly staff, and an array of delicious pastries from local bakeries! The coffee is consistently delicious, and I highly recommend the brow...

Sawada is a fan favorite in Chicago, for good reason! The coffee is rich and smooth, and they offer an interesting array of espresso and matcha based drinks. The entrance is inconspicuous, so make sure to keep an eye out or you might miss it! A great...

Soloway is a great spot if you’re looking for coffee and food! I had the turkey sandwich, and my friend and I still talk about how good it was. They also have the most AMAZING looking croissants and baked goods. Have you tried any of them?!

La Colombe never misses. It’s a great cup of coffee every single time! I usually stick to my go to drink, iced almond milk latte with a little bit of honey, but they have SO many fun craft and draft drink options!

Vibes? Immaculate. Coffee? Delicious. All around a great experience at Hexe! This also happens to be where me and my bestie had our first bumble BFF date, so this spot will always be so special to me 🥹

Blue Bottle Coffee
Another consistently delicious coffee spot! Beatrix offers coffee as well as dining, which are both delicious! They have a banana bread latte that I’ve been dying to try, so if you give it a try let me know how it is!! Bonus that it’s a block away fr...
