The Horchata Latte (6/10) tasted like a cinnamon latte. It was definitely on the sweeter side, and the espresso was light. The Purple Haze (3/10) was more of an ube refresher than an ube latte. I liked the foam on top, but the drink itself was watery instead of creamy, so it wasn't really for me.

I arrived and ordered my coffee. They have different milk options which is great for people with allergies. I inquired about the sausage used in the breakfast burrito and the employee said they had no idea what kind of meat it was. A sad day for people with food allergies. I opted for a safer option. The food and pastries are not made in house. I thought it would be but that's okay. The coffee shop itself is very inviting. There are a lot of area to sit and work. The ambiance felt very comfortable. I only stayed long enough for my breakfast and coffee to be made/warmed. The coffee was floral but bitter. I had to put sugar into it to try and balance the bitter burnt flavor. But given an option between a very popular name brand or this place, I'll stick to Happy Monday. The sandwich bread was burnt. I wouldn't try the food again.

It has been a birthday wish come true visiting the Starbucks Reserve in Chicago this year!! I loved…read moreseeing the seasonal offerings like the iced one coconut latte, the yuzu espresso, the spring pea galette, the pistachio cookie, and the matcha strawberry financier. None of these will ever be found in my local Starbucks shop. My better half and I settled on an iced chai latte with added cold foam and a slice of their tiramisu. The iced chai was heavenly especially the added cold foam, which gave it a nice sweet taste and the tiramisu was our favorite, and made in house!! They also have a tiramisu latte on their menu, which we'll have to try next time. My only recommendation is to not come here in the middle of the day, as it gets very busy and if you'd like to sit down like we did, it will be tricky to find an empty seat. But all in all, the ambiance was just so lively and cool for a Starbucks lover like me. We finally secured an empty two seats on the second floor, (where I had put our order in)and enjoyed watching all the people and the workers behind the scenes. Know before you go: 1) Their 1st Floor--coffee and light bites to go. Second Floor--Coffee and full food offerings. Third Floor--the experience bar that has coffee creations, coffee flights, gelato, and light bites. Fourth Floor--Arriviamo Bar that serves coffee inspired cocktails, beer, wine and light bites. 2) Be sure to check out their seasonal food offerings and beverages. 3) They do offer Starbucks Reserve Experiences, which are hands-on workshops which you can book ahead of time.

I told myself if the line was long I wouldn't go. I got in line for the first floor to go area. You scan the QR code to check out the menu. People are busy walking around trying to buy merch to take home. The upper floors are for sit down service. The drink I ordered was so good. It was a matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I think it's only served there because I have looked at the menu here at home and it's not there. I'm still thinking about this drink and going to look for it at a local coffee shop to see if it has something close to it.

I opted for one of their pour overs. I didn't pick up on the advertised flavor notes but also wasn't disappointed-it was ok. For those that are craving food options, they do have some bakery and breakfast sandwich/burrito options. It wouldn't be a destination cafe for me but perfectly acceptable for those seeking a solid cup of coffee.

The pastry wasn't flaky or puffy like I expected, and it was served cold, which was disappointing. The latte was smooth, but it tasted pretty average. The service was probably the biggest letdown.

Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but nothing about the food, coffee, or service would make me want to come back.

It had a great balance of coffee and sweetness. I also tried the egg, ham, and cheese jalapeño bagel and definitely preferred it over the other sandwich. It was savory and filling.

They had a case of delicious looking case of scones so I ordered iced coffee and a scone. As the server identified the scone flavors (blueberry, chocolate, etc) my heart stopped on bacon jalapeño cheddar. Excuse me what? I have never seen that flavor combo in a scone! I ordered it and promptly devoured it I continued to wait for the bus. The coffee is good too. I like my coffee as dark as my soul but not all coffee tastes good without cream and/or sugar. Theirs does. Its perfect on its own. It's delightful and I would definitely come back for it alone. My only fault with this coffee shop is that it's not closer to my apartment. If they could open up a location in Avondale, I would be ecstatic. All the coffee and bacon jalapeño cheddar scones for me! Alas they are not next door to my apartment so I will have to remember this place fondly until I can come in again.
