    Banana bread matcha

    I absolutely love matcha, and this was my first time trying a banana bread-inspired version--it did not disappoint. The baristas were all incredibly friendly and offered great recommendations, which made the experience even better. Plus, the price for an 8 oz latte and iced matcha was very reasonable.

    We came here Saturday morning for some coffee and it did not disappoint. I ordered the s'mores latte which was delicious and the rest of the group ordered the snickerdoodle latte which was also tasty but not too sweet. The shop is small but we were able to find a table right in the middle for our group of four.

To the right, there are bottled drinks, including kombucha and other beverages. Above the case, a wooden counter holds small potted plants, chalkboards with promotional messages, and snack packages. The promotional signs advertise discounts such as $2 off Tuesday and BOGO 20% off Friday, along with stock-up reminders for the weekend.

    Cute coffee shop in the Loop! I stopped by here during my lunch break for a caffeinated treat. I got an iced matcha oat milk latte, which had a nice matcha flavor and was not bitter in the slightest. It was unsweetened though, so keep that in mind if you prefer your drinks with a little more sugar. Overall, a decent experience and would come again.

    I work right in the building but I'm always here when there's a super long line so once I saw there wasn't a line then I went right in! I know of the design studio (Firebelly Design) who branded this shop so I was already in love with the aesthetic. I'm always on the search for coffee shops that offer great matcha. This one I can add to the list! They told me straight up that their matcha is unsweetened, but they have flavors that can sweeten the drink. There's a list by the cashier. I got ended up getting hazelnut. It was tasty. It's nice that there's unsweetened matcha so if I am not feeling like sugar then I can get it without sugar. There's tons of places whose matcha is too sweet and I need to drink some water after to clear the sweet taste from my mouth. I didn't get that here! So bonus! Overall, definitely worth going to!

    Dollop is an order at the counter coffee-shop with multiple locations south of the river in downtown Chicago. There are many coffee options including drips, pour-overs and an Impressive tea collection as well. I had a drip coffee which was bold enough, though I still haven't had my fantasy dark, bold, non-acidic, not too bright coffee in Chicago. My wife had the green jasmine tea which compared to the one she had yesterday which had a more jasmine/floral presence, this one was heavy on the green and not so much on the jasmine / floral. She remarked she could have just ordered a "green tea". They have Vegetarian quiche available (which excite me) along with a veggie dandwich, and a Brie Sandwich with fig jam (also enticing to me a s vegetarian), but with biscuits on the menu, that's automatically the direction I default to. I had the egg and cheddar biscuit. I asked if they could make it with egg whites and they said "no", they get the eggs this way so it was a bit disappointing to me to learn the food was essentially not made to order. It also tasted a bit-reheated which is kind of obvious to tell with biscuits. It was also too hot when I received it...the cheddar cheese on it was over-melted and didn't have much of a taste. It tasted like I was getting biscuit and egg. Cheddar on a biscuit should be not quite so melted so the cheddar flavor shines through. I'd give the place another try if I'm back in Chicago...but with so many options downtown it wouldn't be top on the go-to list.

    Sausage & jam biscuit. Hard pass next time.
    Karri S.

    Yes, this Southern girl in Chicago does expect biscuits on a menu to be good. Why have so many options if they are not? The biscuit was slightly over cooked and then reheated in the microwave which created a weird chewy texture. The cheese was dripping off and I'm pretty sure it was Smuckers strawberry jam. No offense Smuckers, but you have no business being on a $7 biscuit in a city with this much good food. They also served all biscuits in a compostable clamshell even for those eating in and do not offer recycling. Pass on the biscuit. The latte was good but nothing earth shattering.

    Apart from a few other things I like the vibe of this place, the interior ..the mood it gives in the first look. They have a lot of options starting from cold drinks to lunch/breakfast items....yeah you heard it right they have lunch sandwiches too. I tried Mexican Mocha(Hot) and iced matcha from this place. Mexican mocha has a lite spice touch to it and you can easily differentiate this from regular mocha. And the Matcha, I was too quick to not enquirer thoroughly about this and I ended up getting unsweetened one which of course tasted good. They have limited space for seating, high tables on the side are good for quick hangout.

    Iced lavender latte
    Ashley A.

    Need a quick pick me up in the loop near the Monroe blue line? Swing by Dollop. I ordered an iced lavender latte around 3pm on a weekday and I was impressed with how fast the drink was made. The lavender flavor is very strong but that is exactly how I like it. Not that many coffee shops offer lavender so if you're looking for a good lavender latte, then look no further and bookmark Dollop. The shop itself is small with a few tables with outlets ideal for laptops. There were plenty of seats along the window which are great for meeting up with friends or for a coffee date. I personally wouldn't study or do work here given the moderate noise level and few tables available. Lighting in the shop is bright with ample natural daylight.

We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

I ended up settling on a latte, which... whew. $8 for what felt like a few swallows. The cup was hella small, so that part definitely hurt a little. Menu isn't substantial. Despite how packed it was, I was able to take a meeting without too much trouble--shoutout to my noise-canceling headphones, because they were doing the heavy lifting. The space itself is on the smaller side, so if you're planning to camp out for a while, just know it can feel tight. The bathroom could've used a little attention. Nothing major, and maybe expected with a lot of people. Overall, it's a decent stop if you need coffee and a place to sit for a bit, especially in a pinch. Just be prepared for crowds, limited space, and pricey drinks that disappear way too fast.
