    Love the kiosk ordering system. However, I had ordered a long time ago and no one tried to find us. It had the table flag included and they claimed the system doesn't tell them the table flag number. This isn't true because I saw the employees go around and take the flags away once the food was served. Otherwise, it is a fine place to meet up and hang out. There are some board games. Matcha was kind of gross here. They do make super sweet drinks and coffees otherwise.

    Wow! This place is added to my favorites list! The lattes are phenomenal! I loved my honey cinnamon latte and my Nutella latte. Both were just perfect -- flavor and visually beautiful. Spacious interior. Lots of seating--tables, couches, work stations, chess table. It's also kind of a company store, with other snacks and beverages for sale, such as wine. The location is great, right across from Grant Park so great views from the windows. Bright space, lots of natural light. Colorful and vibrant decor too. The vegan glazed donut is very good! I look forward to trying more food. The bathrooms are individual and private, and very clean. They have nice Dyson hand dryers. Fun music playing and the vibes are positive. Excellent and friendly service too. Really kind people. I will be a regular here for sure.

    Matcha Latte

    This cafe is the cutest, the interior is a complete vibe and has a great view .I'm so glad I stopped in as the service was quick and friendly. I ordered an iced ube match with oat milk and it was very light and refreshing. Sadly I couldn't taste or see the ube and it was an extra cost. On a positive note, the oat milk and matcha paired perfectly with a good balance between all flavors involved.

    Coffee: I've tried the mocha and the honey latte, both had a great ratio of milk to espresso. Milk texture was good and foam was rich. Service: The barista was friendly and gave my pet a treat, I really enjoyed the customer service and music was amazing. It was like rnb/house vibes which I loved. Ambiance: The interior design is beautiful and there is no shortage of outlets to work from. Yes the table height to chair height ratio is good, if that matters to anyone. It isn't loud, so you can actually focus here. Overall: good option for wfh, great lattes, friendly staff, pleasant music and interior design. To be honest this place is very underrated, I think it's better than Deko and other south loop options, sheerly due to the experience.

    lots of seating! pretty expensive and i didn't enjoy my latte to the fullest. however it was just not my taste and i didn't really like the almond milk the pastries looked delicious and were in a beautiful case under the counter. the ambiance in here was lovely and it is so beautiful inside my favorite part was their water station. they had a self serve water station and it was really lovely. thank you dollop! there's a cute little market area in the shop to the side that sells fun snacks, ice cream, and wine bathroom 8/10 nice bathroom! i like that there was 4 individual bathrooms, so many which is lovely to me it felt like a space ship. they are spaceship themed and my only comment is that the toilet flush is very loud so don't go in here if you scare easily (joke) workers were chill , i walked here so i have no parking comments nooo! it's downtown though so

    I've been visiting this café since I lived in the building years ago and have continued to return regularly. The baristas are consistently kind, attentive, and welcoming. Bloom makes the best art work in a cup I've ever seen. It's a warm, inviting space ideal for coffee, tea, or breakfast. Their spinach croissants are exceptional--truly the best I've had.

    Honey Cinnamon Latte

    Stopped here for a pick-me-up before a day at the museums. The shop is spacious, clean, and really cozy/pretty especially as it was raining when I was here. There's bar seating, tables, and a couch area that's great for meals or just sitting to work on a laptop. I got a honey cinnamon latte. It was only available iced in a 16oz cup, no other size. It was pretty thick and sweet so I had to wait for the ice to melt a bit. The cinnamon was not too overpowering. Service was friendly. Would come back for the vibes. ヾ(^-^)ノ

    Newly opened with temporary 8am-3pm hours. The space is gorgeous and they plan to expand to cocktail service soon. Looks to be awesome for working coffee spot with lots of outlets. The food was tasty and service is actually at your table (vs counter ordering) if you plan to eat in. They have a few things to work out, but everyone was so friendly and I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu. It will be a huge hit in the area since their breakfast offerings differ a bit from the usual eggs.

    It's a fantastic spot whether you're in a rush, looking for a quick breakfast, or have time to sit and work. Opening at 7 AM is perfect for early risers, and there's plenty of seating available. They also have a convenient grocery section with frozen and pantry items, plus wine, which is a nice bonus. When I visit, I always go for the breakfast burrito--it's incredibly tasty and satisfying. Payment options are versatile, from Apple Pay to Afterpay and even Cash App. I initially planned to eat only half of the recommended doughnut, but it was so delicious that I couldn't resist devouring the whole thing. They also offer free Wi-Fi, which is perfect for those who want to get some work done while enjoying their meal. Additionally, I was impressed by the quick service--it took less than 10 minutes for my food to arrive, which was fantastic and made the overall experience even better. soft music flows through this place which sets the vibe as people work or chat.

    Super busy on the weekends but nice to be able to go downstairs and get something to eat without having to go outside Takes a while for takeout though Nice decor, big windows and lots of light Nice plant and coffee wall Lattes are nice, though several times have been out of matcha Waffles are fluffy Biscuits are also fluffy and tasty For a while was open during the evenings but not any more Nice to be able to order online then go downstairs to pick up Staff always friendly

    This might be the best cafe to do work in Chicago. It's got a beautiful interior with high ceilings and a plethora of natural light giving way to the Chicago skyline. Internet and outlets are abundant and the late hours are greatly conducive for working or studying. Plus, it's more of a local spot, and didn't seem overly crowded when I went. My very excellent and strong matcha latte was criminally expensive (almost $8), but perhaps that's the cost of such a great ambiance.

    Walked over to Buttercup after checking into my hotel in Chicago to grab a coffee and fire up the…read moreold laptop and get some work done. Though usually one for a hot coffee, it was steamy hot out so I went for an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and was wildly impressed. I was going to sit for a bit so had the latte for there and it was icy cold and the vanilla flavoring was brilliantly paired to the really good espresso notes within the latte. I also went for a Financier, which is a gluten-free banana bread sort of loaf and this was downright silly how good it was. It had a rich banana and sort of caramel flavor to it and as a gluten-free pastry option was one of the finest that I have had. Love that the coffee shop had just about every seat full with people doing work, studying, reading and catching up and the spot was a true neighborhood gem sort of location. Awesome spot!

The Pistachio Mocha (8.5/10) had a great mocha flavor and the espresso strength was perfect. Not too strong or too light. Loved this one. The Lavender Sea Salt Latte (8/10) had a nice lavender flavor, and I liked that I could actually taste the espresso without it being overpowering. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich (7/10) is only available Saturday and Sunday. The egg was soft, the bacon was crispy, and the brioche bun was nice and soft. The mayo-based sauce was flavorful, but there was almost a little too much for me. I liked how the sandwich wasn't dry though.

    A Taiwanese bakery. How could a place that loves Michael Jackson be bad?…read more Salted Egg Yolk Bolo Bun流心菠蘿麵包: Calling it "流心"(runny) isn't quite accurate; it's a bolo bun菠蘿包 (pineapple -shape bun) with a salted egg yolk filling, but it had an authentic, old-fashioned flavor that made me feel like back to childhood. The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak. However, it's already great to find a tea latte that's not very sweet.

    We came around 12:30noon and got a huge bread haul at this bakery. I'm SO glad we did!…read more Here's what we got: * Purple rice taro bun / 5 (OUR FAV!!!) * Matcha custard bun / 4.5 * Matcha pistachio bun / 5 * Tuna egg mayo bread / 4.5 * Hot dog & cheese bread / 4 * BBQ hot dog skewer / 3 * Sesame roll / 3.5 * Cheese pudding tart / 3.5 * Banana bread matcha c oat milk / 4.75 If there's one thing you get here, get the purple rice taro bun. Suuuuper soft & chewy bread filled with purple rice and taro. The textures were amazing. Best baked good I ever had. It's pricey but SO worth it!! 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Service here is just okay, nothing special. There's also a small seating area in the back that is open until 4pm!

The menu is also pretty extensive, with everything from ramen and udon to small bites, soufflé pancakes, teas, and smoothies. I stopped in mid-morning during the week, and there were already quite a few people in the café. I decided to try the Strawberry Pancakes with the Strawberry Passion Fruit Lemonade. The pancakes are made to order, so expect about a 10-15 minute wait, depending on how busy they are. My tea arrived pretty quickly and had a really nice balance of strawberry and passion fruit. I could taste both flavors without one overpowering the other, which I appreciated. I've had soufflé pancakes before, so I knew what to expect. These were nice and airy and definitely passed the jiggle test. The strawberry topping was delicious and reminded me of a flavored whipped cream. It paired really well with the pancakes without being too heavy. Overall, I had a great experience at Hanabusa Cafe.
