I live down the street. And even if I didn't, this would be my go-to coffee shop! Everything is really tasty, the pastries are fresh! They'll even toast and butter your biscuits if you ask them to!! I walked in today and they were playing Dolly Parton, the vibe is amazing. And the staff have always been polite and welcoming!! And the best part, they don't use low-end syrups! read more

I'm a regular at the Buena Park location and have been coming here for over seven years, which is why I wanted to share this feedback. The main issue lately is the drink pickup process. The shop used to take customer names, and it worked much better during busy times. Now it can be chaotic--orders are hard to hear, people miss their drinks, and drinks often get mixed up. In the past week alone, I've accidentally taken the wrong drink twice, and I've also had someone take mine. Meanwhile, staff spend time sorting out orders while the line keeps growing. A simple solution would be to start taking names again. It would make pickups more organized, reduce mistakes, and help lines move faster for both customers and staff. read more

Very rude staff member on the food end today. Past experiences didn't have the best service with staff members either

The corridor is delicious and the manager and staff so nice! A special place for me and my dog staying outside! read more

Still great coffee and pastries. Ordered the DK Mocha Iced, Iced Latte, and donut. It's slightly overpriced but pretty good quality. read more

Super cute and welcoming coffee shop. They have very cute coffee names (I got the walluigi late). They have a good selection of art and books to browse while you wait and lots of comfortable seating. read more

I used to love this place but now they play such terrible, generic, shouty rock music that I can't even focus on my work there. Also the wifi is terrible. Food and service are great. read more

Very nice coffee shop with a cool vibe. The vanilla cold foam is great to add on too.

They have vegan donuts from Beacon and vegan cream cheese for bagels! What more could you ask for. Plus there's tons of seating, though if you're trying to work from here during the day, it goes get quite busy. If you are working from here, tho, can you please not be on calls?! That's super rude, tho not the fault of Dollop, of course. read more

I love this location of dollop! They beacon donuts! My favorite drinks are the honey cinnamon almond milk iced latte, decaf cold brew with maple + room for oat milk, and almond joy mocha! The baristas are all very friendly. There is also a play area with a train set in the back which is a great spot for play dates for my 2 year old! read more

Muy rica la comida el ambiente es muy agradable y limpio la gente muy amable lo recomiendo mucho

Coffee was okay the bagel was dry and had very little cream cheese. Wouldn't go back. My exact order was large iced coffee with Nutella didn't taste like that with a splash of almond milk and a everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and the bagel was blah and very little cream cheese melted in the bagel read more

Overpriced and horrible. This is a coffee shop and the regular/americano coffee is not good. Expensive for something I threw in the trash. I drink it black--if your coffee is good you should not have to mask it with sugar and froth. read more

Iced honey and cinnamon latte... the best! They also have a public printer too if you need.

A very nice and professional associate at the till, but the masks on employees and the absurd policy of not taking cash will keep me from ever returning, and I will tell others to pass on the business as well. read more

So kind here!! Great sandwich and pastries and drinks. Local artists and community spotlighted here.

Dollop continues to be a great example of a local coffee shop. They've tidied up the toy section in the back and it looks very inviting! I love that there's an area for kids. read more

This coffee shop is very cute and the coffee is delicious! A very straightforward choice, indeed. The prices are not listed but my coffees were about $5.5 each before tax. A little pricey but a tasty treat to warm us up on this chilly day. read more

Dollop Coffee - Nutella mocha (left) and White chocolate raspberry mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is soooo bad. I ordered the honey cinnamon latte with coconut milk and it literally had zero taste. It was basically brown water. Not only that, you'll have to wait over 10 minutes for your coffee and a 12 oz is $8. Disgusting, read more

What an eclectic , funky coffee shop. It is located in the uptown neighborhood. This is where you go for a "not your cookie cutter" coffee shop experience! Handmade and creative beverages. They have wonderful private label coffee, amazing vegan pastries and great sandwiches. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It is evident that the diverse neighborhood is supported by this shop. Check out all the happenings posted in the windows! Mismatched furniture and great music add to the ambiance and makes it a great place for anyone to hang out, to work, visit or read, while enjoying some great menu offerings. I found Dollop on Clarendon to be a clean, interesting and cool place. Check it out soon! read more

Friendly service. Perfect setup for a work from home type of day. They have a back room with extra space and it super quiet. Next to that is a game room and couch which is cozy. They have wifi and sell some cute concha earrings which my sister loved! My coffee was nice and strong, perfect for an early morning. They also have outdoor patio which is small but seats a few people. read more

Visited dollop coffee recently. Was served coffee that tasted burned and was lukewarm. The service was so so as the cashier was distracted and slow moving. Also saw the workers accept cash and put it in the register, then use their bare and then direct hands to directly touch the food! read more

What a lovely spot! I stopped in on a chilly Friday morning after a walk by the lake. It was my first time in, and I loved how cozy it is! My eyes were immediately drawn to the Nutella mocha on the menu and you guys it was AMAZING. I'm not sure why I've never had Nutella in my coffee before but I'm not sure I will ever go back. Seriously so good, I can't wait to come back. I also got an everything bagel with cream cheese and it was delicious--love an intense amount of cream cheese :) So excited to come back to this gem all winter! read more

I've never been to this specific location but have been to the one downtown and have loved it . I ordered a cinnamon honey latte - pretty good , tasted like cinnamon and honey. My friends both got other lattes and a got chocolate both of which were essentially cold when they made it to us. The barista asked how hot we'd like the lattes (after I went back to get my friend a new one). I wasn't aware that there were multiple levels of hot for a coffee .. she was nice and remade the latte for my friend , which came out a bit better . The music was less then ideal , they were pumping black eyed peas through the speaker making me cringe the entire time I'd probably choose a different coffee spot next time I'm in the mood for a latte read more

Dollop Coffee - Cinnamon Honey Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great spot for a cup of coffee. Got the iced turmeric chai 16 oz which was delicious and imho, very reasonably priced. The shop is actually massive from the inside which was very shocking. Definitely seems like a great spot to get a Turkey sandwich coffee and get some work done. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone in the area :) read more

Dollop Coffee almost looks like a real coffee shop. In fact, it is a real coffee shop! (Or a cafe, if you're into the whole international thing.) I say 'almost' because it's a chain, although local only, but they're not into the uniform corporate branding and look that a lesser, though bigger, chain might be into. Also, 'almost' because I'm a semi-snarky so-and-so. It's small, there's lots of wood and a decent amount of seating. Coffee ordered there comes in a rando mug and it's delicious (the coffee; I didn't try the mug, hey-o). They also have a printer there, if you want to print the entire internet or a smaller portion of it. I haven't tried it and I don't know what it costs, but it's nice to know that it's around, even if I'm not around. Good vibes from the staff and the excellent neighborly-day-in-the-beautywood atmosphere: I'd go back for a dollop of coffee or more. Probably more. read more

They don't take cash! Unbelievable- If you are looking to eat here they make no exceptions - u must have a credit card! I find this to be discriminatory against at lower income people who may not have a credit card! Shame on them! read more

Love this place queer friendly coffee shop, diverse employees. Love the coffee and food. they only take credit cards and have a loyalty program. plus its near boystown. read more

Fave coffee shop in the neighborhood - great espresso and bakery. The vegan donuts are the best.

I'm so in love with Dollop. The staff is super chill and the customers are just as chill. Dollop is great at taking on the personality of the neighborhood that they're located in. This specific location is great because they blend a lot of the great aspect of Uptown into one location. Uptown has a great population of local artists and they work with those artists to showcase their work. That's the one thing that I love about all the coffee shops within Uptown. The inside is super spacious so it can easily accommodate someone coming in to work solo or meetup with a group of friends. They have a large front room and a smaller backroom for the lucky people that arrive early. I've never seen this place with less than 10 people working in some capacity inside. I've worked in this Dollop location a few times. You definitely have to get here early if you want to even get near a plug. They have a lot of extention cords but those get easily take up. People are pretty friendly so don't get intimidated if people are at the multiple big tables that they have throughout the coffee shop. People will happily let you join them at the big table. I love that they offer Wi-Fi and the food is reasonably priced. I don't feel too bad spending a couple hours doing a little work. The one thing that does get to me at times is that the staff can get very loud. Whenever they see a friend they will cheer, run through the shop to greet them or get caught up on loud laughing fits. But I chop that up to their friendly nature and working in a public location. read more

Dollop Coffee - Vegetable Quiche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I can't say enough about the coffee here. I stop in here several times a week if I don't feel like setting up my own maker. The lattes are also super tasty if you're into that. I've usually been pairing my coffee with a bagel and cream cheese. They have a few different kinds and spreads as well! If you're in a rush, order ahead on the Ritual App and it'll be ready within 15 minutes for a quick pick up! read more

I ordered Avocado Toast off Grub-hub from here at it was delicious! Probably the best avocado toast I've ever had, I ordered an over easy egg on top which was so tasty, I could also definitely tell the spread was homemade! Highly recommend ordering from here! (It was $9 for the toast which isn't bad but almost 20 after tax and delivery fee which was a bit pricey but worth it.) read more

Great first time experience! I decided to get a "healthy shot" and was berry surprised on how good it was. No it's made with apple cider vinegar. It was really honey forward which was a nice touch! I also got an iced cinnamon honey and Oatmilk latte.... Perfection! read more

It's an excellent cafe with really friendly service. The backroom is incredibly useful for quiet work or light conversation. Unlike most cafes, this one actually has room to stretch your legs, sit at a table with friends, and just get work done without being cramped up on a stool or between really close tables. read more

Excellent coffee. don't mind the chuds trying to tank your rating

This dollop specifically is my personal favorite. The space is great for a work/study vibe or a simple hang. Outdoor seating is available as well. There's vegan donuts, pastries and bagels which makes it enjoyable for everyone. A little overpriced but the staff and the vibe keep me coming back. read more

I didn't get a chance to get a picture of my drink, but I just ordered a simple cold brew with oat milk which was delicious. I enjoyed the relaxed ambiance of Dollop and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They also had some outdoor seating which is a nice option if the weather permits. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Ive had the good luck to live down the street from this Dollop for a year now, and I love having a local Chicago chain to support instead of a corporate mega-chain! The baristas are all very chill and have excellent style, and they make delicious coffee drinks! I love their lattes! During Covid times they have had great safety measures in place to keep their employees and customers safe. Their FOOD is amazing too! The turkey sandwich is my favorite, and their patries are always fresh and delicious with interesting flavors. Like the salty racist reviewer said, they support Black Lives as we all should (imagine being mad at furthering equality in 2020, lol) so go on and support them! Fun decor, free wifi, clean bathroom available (not during Covid), and great quality food and drinks. read more

One random mid-summer evening, Rosa J. and hubby were looking for coffee at 2000 hour. They spotted Dollop on the corner of Clarendon and Gordon Terrace in Uptown, but it was closed for the day... Well, that was how Rosa J. knew where to chill in the neighborhood zone of Uptown. Her past encounters in Uptown were Ba*er & N*sh, Heri*age, and Ever*body's. Dollop is another one that serves Metropolis. Rosa J. actually paid attention to the special menu this time! Instead getting her iced Chai fix, she had the spicy Mexican mocha. That certainly was a correct choice for a semi-pleasant rainy Friday afternoon. She didn't forget her Daddy J.; the obedient daughter got him a 20oz. Americano. This Dollop location is near a school, so they saw many kids hang out here. Children nowadays are gettin' fancy with their after-school activities... The wifi sporadically worked, but it was better than not working at all like some other places she has been. read more
