I was in the area visiting Casa Tulum and decided to walk over to Buttercup. I thought it would be a hidden gem, but as soon as I walked in, it was packed. The atmosphere is quaint, cozy, and has a very chill vibe. I stepped outside my comfort zone and ordered a drink that was just okay, but the half salad was amazing. I loved the unique twist on it and would definitely order it again. The service was okay. It seemed like the waiter was juggling a lot and could have used some additional support. There is street parking available, one restroom, and the music was kept at a comfortable volume, which I appreciated. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

we tried the blueberry matcha. their matcha tastes high quality and they say it's ceremonial grade…read morewhich i believe. i think some places say theirs is ceremonial grade when it isn't. so we really enjoyed the quality of the matcha and it was the perfect amount of sweet from the blueberry. we also tried baursaq which is the fried dough bites. it tastes like a light donut ball. it's not heavy or greasy at all. they give you a dipping sauce which tasted like strawberry to me. overall a really clean and simple lay out for the shop. very minimal and upscale. it's not super busy and loud so it's a nice place to sit in and enjoy your drinks and maybe do some homework/remote work. i only gave it 4/5 just because the drinks were a little pricey but i think that's the norm now as well. hard to find drinks under 8$ these days.

I'd say a bit too much almond paste instead of having more of an almond flavor baked in, like the best ones I've had. Oh, so the birds can get pretty aggressive. They are totally coming after my food as I say outside. I asked for one of those birds shu fans and that made a huge difference. Otherwise I was swatting them the whole time. Glad they obliged. It did take a couple of requests.

FOOD Ordered the lemon tart and boy was it waaaayyyyy too sweet for me. I too dislike coconut and believe it was part of the crust. At least that is what I thought I was tasting. That was on me I guess for not asking. I'm sure the other items are good, but it was not what I hoped for personally. WELL I guess I'd return, but not going out of my way.

It was better…read more The dalgona latte showed up with massive chunks of toffee--like, not decorative, not subtle... full-on "we believe in happiness" pieces. Every sip felt like a reward for simply existing. Also tried something called "False Spring," which has carrot juice in it (I know, I had questions too). But somehow it works! It's fresh, a little sweet, and makes you feel like you've made a good life decision--even if you're just ordering coffee in pajamas. Everything arrived perfectly and tasted like someone actually cared while making it. 10/10, would absolutely order again and pretend I'm a sophisticated person with a refined palate.

I've been coming to Froth quite a bit lately while studying for midterms, and it has quickly become…read moreone of my favorite spots. The vibe is cozy, eclectic, and with a slightly gothic feel that I absolutely love. There are plenty of large tables for studying, plus comfy booths with pillows if you want to settle in for a few hours. The lighting is on the darker side, which I appreciate, and everyone seems to be doing their own thing, making it a great place to focus or just hang out. I recently learned that on Friday evenings and weekends after 5 pm, the space transforms into Bar None. They have a cute patio and even a speakeasy-style space downstairs, which I can't wait to check out. I've only tried the cold brew, chai latte, and hummus platter so far. The chai latte was delicious, while the cold brew and hummus didn't quite wow me, but I'm definitely excited to come back and try more. Overall, it's such a cool spot, and the fact that it's only a 15-minute walk from my place makes it even better.

The decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

Apparently there's a mandatory purchase rule and they will confront everyone. Our friend ordered a pastry so we joined him at his table. We were told and said we all had to order something or leave even tho the place was half empty. We ordered something else but I feel like there's a better way to let people know there's mandatory consumption. Pastry was expensive and my friend said their iced latte wasn't very good. Just a reminder why I actively avoid west loop.

There's a fair amount of seating considering the size of the place. Wasn't able to get a spot today unfortunately, but we did go at a busy time on a Sunday morning. I got the honey and lavender specialty latte with soy milk. I get mixed feelings about lavender - sometimes it tastes pretty soapy to me. I thought this was delicious!

Even though we were seated at a regular table, the place had a comfortable vibe and it was easy to settle into. The counter women were efficient, nice, and filled our orders promptly. They did give my friend the wrong size coffee at first, but corrected it quickly and without any problem. One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.
