The line is long and constant on a Saturday morning but it moves fast. Pastry selection is larger now but still includes the delicious Old Fashions from doughnut vault. Please come and create your own adventure.

Beautiful inside with a classy coffee shop vibe. No computers are allowed on the weekends. Honestly…read moreit was nice to see people catch up with each other without heads buried under laptops. Coffee was solid, tried their vanilla latte. They have their own selection of food but didn't get a chance to try this time.

Beautiful space! Really good coffee and quick service…read more We enjoyed the drinks we got and the interior heightened the experience. Also appreciate the sign that it's a no laptop zone on weekends. Person taking the order was grumpy and rude. We figured she's having a bad day and still tipped her. Nonetheless, we'd visit again for the menu items!

Really yummy food and drinks!…read more The latte with vanilla and honey was delicious, as was the crepe with milk and the salmon Benedict. Affordable and yummy. Overall 10/10

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.

There's no picture of the mango matcha latte I got here because it got enjoyed too fast. I also got…read moresea salt whipped cream in top (would get again). This was the perfect spot to grab a treat in the middle of my 13-hour road trip from Ohio to Minnesota. I also impulse-bought a container of the Premium Blend Ceremonial Grade matcha because I haven't yet found a place near where I go to school where I can get ceremonial-grade matcha. The place was pretty busy when I went there on a Thursday afternoon but they were pretty efficient with the orders. It wasn't immediately clear to me that the containers of matcha powder were in the "Merchandise" section but the person behind the counter was happy to assist me.

Tried the mango matcha cream drink at Gathers Tea Bar and it was honestly a solid pick. Nothing…read moresuper over-the-top or crazy, but just really well done. The matcha had a nice smooth flavor without being too bitter, and the mango added a good amount of sweetness that balanced everything out. The cream on top tied it all together and gave it a nice texture. Overall, just a really solid drink I'd definitely get again if I'm in the area.

There's a cafe with beautiful pastries, many collectibles, Drinks of any kind. It was an amazing experience to be in here. Especially in Chicago. The service was amazing. I cannot wait to check out the rest.

Tried to come in at 7 before the crowd, but just be aware the other floors open later. Only the 1st…read morefloor is opened earlier. We ordered a drink and later then came back when all the other floors were opened. Each floor has their own specific menus but some of them have the same bakery items all around. We ordered the pistachio croissant 5/5, not too sweet, was fresh, crispy, and flaky all around. Egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich 3/5-egg was super fluffy and bun soft and it was filling but wasn't anything mind blowing. Crispy hash brown cup 1/5- no flavor or seasoning at all. Herb croissant-3/5 pretty decent. Service and hospitality were great, had a staff member come up to us and ask us if we were enjoying everything. Overall I thought it was a cool place with a ton of tables on every floor, looked really cool inside, awesome there are only a few in the world. Aesthetically pleasing And photo worthy. A little pricey for what they serve. But regardless, Got marked off the bucket list. Very unique inside. Be aware they do not have the typical Starbucks drink menus.

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.

I had a really good experience at 3 Arts. I wasn't able to get a reservation for Sunday brunch, so…read morewe made sure to arrive before opening. There was already a small line of guests with the same idea, but we were able to get on the waitlist. While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't aware of that, and it also wasn't asked by the hostess. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and moved us to a table in the wine cellar. The wine cellar had a completely different vibe, dark and moody, compared to the bright, airy courtyard with its beautiful glass ceiling and natural light. We ordered the lobster roll and the RH Burger, both with fries. The food came out fairly quickly and was well-presented. The lobster roll was served on a buttery brioche with just the right amount of seasoning, and the burger was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.

Went with friends for an evening dinner in a cool atmosphere. We were not to disappointed there…read more Was a beautiful rainy Chicago night. Unfortunately for us we were a table for 3 and despite having mad that reservation weeks in advance were placed in what was obviously just 2 two tops pushed together. And not in the main atrium area. Look it was still a beautiful atmosphere and our company made it a lovely evening. Why don't they have a liquor license here? Ok the food. The burrata salad, so nice and summer fresh. We also had the crispy artichokes meh. What saved my night was the chicken salad. The crispy bits...amazing all through the salad. So good. Let's talk dessert, the butterscotch crème brûlée so good. Coffee and a port wine.... Good, but where is the cheese board. This place would benefit from real liquor and a desert cheese board. I mean I must believe that RH has a cheese board on offer somewhere. Anyway, nice evening and decent food in a mostly lovely place.
