Marshmallow latte
Kenna G.

Really great coffee at Big Shoulders! Nice pastry case of scones, croissants, and breakfast bites. Staff were friendly and kind. Highly suggest the brown sugar miso or marshmallow latte!

Brown sugar miso 8oz
Mag T.

Delicious! Staff was fantastic very friendly and informative. I had the brown sugar miso and it was not overly sweet. Small inside just a few tables and some counters to enjoy food and drinks. Bustling place!

Very unique latter flavor! We got the brown sugar miso and it was ready pretty quickly. I can confidently say I've never had miso in my coffee before but I really liked it! Much more savory than sweet. The staff was helpful and answered any questions. It's a cute coffee shop, you could definitely wfh here.

A great spot for coffee! I stopped by here twice during the visit to Chicago. I love the oatmeal and the miso latte. I also bought say that the walnut coffee cake was divine ! Egg and cheese sandwich was a bit too greasy for my liking, also lacking in any flavor, the top of cookie was a bit too, baking soda heavy for my taste. I wish they would offer more vegan meat or or at least a turkey sausage option. All in all in grape please for coffee.

Miso brown sugar latte

Cute coffee shop in Magnificent Mile Chicago. They have a few tables and a high top for seating. Baristas were super friendly. I really enjoyed the miso brown sugar latte which had a unique flavor that was delicious and cozy. The blueberry scone was on the dry side and I tried a bite of the coffee cake which was pretty good.

While on a trip to Chicago, I happened to walk past Big Shoulders Coffee--and ended up doubling back because I had to try it. The place is adorable, with equally cute merch you can buy. They had some really fun flavor options, including a Horchata latte I'm still thinking about. I almost tried it, but the marshmallow latte won me over--and honestly, I'm glad it did. The staff were incredibly kind and clearly knew their coffee. My drink even came with two actual roasted marshmallows on top (amazing touch). The shop itself is surprisingly spacious and has that perfect "come hang out with your friends or relax for a bit" vibe. A great little stop--definitely worth doubling back for.

horchata latte

Came here for a quick pick me up and was not disappointed! The coffee was brewed fresh and I got a horchata latte! It was very cinnamony and hot which was perfect for a windy cold day! I also had the blueberry scone warmed up which was buttery and sugary! The barista was very nice and completed my order fast. Would be excited to come back to try their seasonal flavors!

Delicious coffee and huge servings, really wonderful staff, and cozy ambiance. I was visiting Chicago and miss this place already! I'd definitely come back here

Toasted marshmallow latte
Courtney T.

I was browsing yelp for coffee places near me and came across the toasted marshmallow latte and knew I needed to come here and try it. There is street parking and at 7:30am on a Thursday there was plenty available nearby. The interior is kind of small but there is seating with a number of tables. The bar is beautifully set up and you can watch the barista prepare your drink. The marshmallow on the latte was perfectly toasted and the latte itself did taste like toasted marshmallow but not too intense or artificial tasting. I also got the bacon cheddar scone which was also great. Nice and soft and the perfect size little bits of bacon.

Really enjoyed the unique flavors, especially the toasted marshmallow. The mocha was also just really good. Super nice staff. Bustling little shop. Lovely spot. A must try.

Great ambiance! Super fast and friendly service and the coffee tastes great and creamy. They have quite a few unique flavors too like miso, marshmallow, and your classic ones too!

Marshmallow latte
Tara R.

Came here to grab a bag of beans as a Chicago souvenir and one of the famous Toasted Marshmallow lattes. Neither disappointed. Some lattes hide the flavor of coffee too much, but in this latte you could taste the quality of the coffee but also the sweet and creaminess you want in a latte. Took the beans home (Night Shift), ground them up and we have been loving a cup of it every morning. The employees were really friendly and it was a nice spot to drink my latter while I had some time to kill. Around 9:30 on a Monday and they were already out of the cheddar scones. It's definitely a popular spot and for good reason!

Large Vanilla Latte (it comes with 4 shots of espresso).

They didn't have any regular black teas which was weird. I would maybe go back for a coffee drink.
