Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops in all of Chicago. The staff is excellent and super warm and inviting. Since I am a regular, they always greet me and remember my order. I am picky when it comes to Iced tea, and they get me. They use loose-leaf tea, which is my favorite. They also have a rotating list of syrups you can add to your drink. Why not be adventurous? My order is a black iced tea with lemonade and lavender. My go-to, especially since they are connected to an apartment complex and have a ton of seating inside and outside, especially in the summer. read more

Pop culture Specialty Latte from Dollop was really good, just hated that it was $8 and not even close to being filled to the top. Staff weren't extremely friendly. read more

Had another really great experience here last week. Just love the location and the barista was super nice and awesome. Had the Pop Culture iced latte and it didn't disappoint. Tasted like popcorn!!!! Delicious! Also had a blueberry miso muffin and it was so good. I highly recommend stopping in here. One of my favorite coffee places in Chicago! read more

Got the pop culture latte. The cold foam was the highlight. It actually tasted like popcorn and was super unique. The latte itself was a bit of a letdown though, it tasted a little watered down with the espresso coming through weak, and leaned more on the syrupy sweet side. The vibes were cool with music playing and not too crowded, so it felt easy to just chill. I also liked that everything is compostable. Service was fine, nothing standout but no issues. read more

ASH & JESSE'S COFFEE CRAWL '25 Ranked #10 out of 15 We actually stopped here after we paid a visit to Layla and Ringos-- further up the street. We saw their specials on the chalkboard outside and had to try them out. We got the Salted Honey Coconut latte that was yummy! Super cute inside & not too busy. read more

What a cozy spot for coffee & chill! Got the salted maple latte which was made perfectly. I appreciate that it wasn't overly crowded and there was a comfortable seating area with couches and tables and large windows to let in natural light. read more

I forgot my coffee when I left home, and ended up getting to my destination early so I just searched for where the nearest coffee shop was. Dollop came up and I walked right over to get a small coffee. Staff was nice, it was snowing sideways so they weren't super busy and I got my coffee super fast. They even put a few ice cubes in it for me so I could chug it quickly before my class. The inside was kind of a tiled typical coffee shop, but it opens up in the adjoining apartment building and it looks like you can also sit in their living room style lobby. Definitely a cozy spot, or if you need to be more rigid and studious the coffee shop vibe works here too. Then mega major points for their to-go cups AND lids all being compostable. Love this - way to be responsible and a good steward. The coffee was good too :) read more

Stopped in for a coffee hoping to find a spot to study for a bit, but definitely not setup for that. They had a few tables, but no outlets. Dollop coffee is pretty good, so no complaints! Ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Cereal Milk Matcha, Beacon Chocolate Glazed Donut, and Chocolate Almond Biscotti. The Cereal Milk Matcha was pretty mid, wouldn't recommend personally. read more

Great coffee shop with full tea / coffee menu and some selection of pastries. The cold brew pea flower tea with cold foam oat milk (aka Blue Milk) is super yummy. This coffee shop has a super comfy and quiet sitting area in addition to its main store area. People behind the counter were super nice and answered all the questions I had about the menu read more

Popped in for a quick breakfast on the go on a weekday around 9 AM. It was pretty busy, yet the staff were quick and efficient. The coffee shop is pretty small, however it is adjacent to a lobby with comfortable seating for any spillover customers who need a spot to sit. The breakfast sandwich is great. Moist biscuit, thick & fluffy egg, and crispy bacon What more could you need? I would skip the bagels for sure though. Very chewy and severely lacking cream cheese... read more

I stopped into this new location to check it out. It is close to the Moody Bible College so I think it's a great location for the many students nearby. The residential building next door is connected so that seems super convenient. There are also bus and train stops, making it easy to grab a beverage. The store is small, bright and cheerful. The pops of color add fun whimsey. High ceilings, giant windows and bright yellow chairs are perfect! The staff were so friendly. I checked out the menu and the girl behind the counter was happy to answer all of my questions. The blue drink caught my eye... My oat chai latte was delicious!!! They use a local purveyor for the chai, which I appreciate very much. The pastry case was almost empty as I stopped in late afternoon. They offer a few different things to nosh so I'll stop in next time a bit earlier. I liked this Dollop location very much and will check it out again soon! read more

I got the iced Nutella latte with oat milk and it was the perfect treat for a sunny afternoon walk! I loved that the drink was lightly sweetened but not too sweet. The baristas at the front are super friendly and welcoming. The location is in a quieter part of downtown, attached to an upscale apartment building. There's not too many seats at this location, only 6-8 total, so it's definitely more of a grab n go type of location rather than a place to study. read more

Experience: This wonderful visit was due to an Elite Experience Event. The whole process was fairly easy and the staff was very professional and friendly. On a Friday, during brunch hours, it seemed pretty packed, but I was able to order and receive my drink pretty quickly! Parking: Being that this business is located in Old Town/ Downtown, parking was very challenging, however not impossible depending when you go. Unfortunately, during my visit, it seems like it is only meter parking. Unsure about any free spots. Worth: I ordered a Strawberry Lemongrass Matcha Latte (as pictured) and it surely did not disappoint. I would honestly come back here because it seems like a great place to get work done. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the staff was very friendly, which is a huge plus in my book read more

So excited this coffee shop finally opened! The location is really convenient (it's attached to the first floor of an apartment building) and they have a nice walk up window if you don't have time to go inside to pick up your order. The baristas are really friendly and I loved the oat milk latte and donut I had during my visit. There are a few seats inside the cafe and there's plenty of seats in the apartment lobby for people to sit and work at as well. Will definitely be visiting this place often! read more

Popped in here on my way to Soul Cycle in Old Town. I got a vanilla iced latte with oat milk and it didn't disappoint. Coffee preferences vary so much, but I love a strong brew with a rich, creamy milk and hint of sweetness and the ladies on duty today hit this on the mark! read more

Kitchen was closed at 1 pm so did not get to try the dishes. Staff was very nice. Maple pancake latte was ok read more

I am writing this review in hopes that management will address this store's issues. I have been a regular customer from the very beginning. The coffee was great, the food was surprisingly (for a coffee shop) delicious and of high quality and the service was always an absolute pleasure. Lately they are understaffed and be it early or late, any food offering is out or not being prepared because they are short staffed. The staff looks pressured and stressed and is no longer entirely polite or happy. Whatever you want on the menu, is almost assuredly out these days. I asked last week and the individual explained that when one person is on staff, there is no food prep. There had to be two. Today the door was broken and a sign was up saying to knock. The two/2 busy staff members could not respond and so customers were helping others to open the door. There was a sign up saying a particular drink and sandwiches were not available today--tho again 2 individuals were there (admittedly busy). What a mess! Dollop, I hope you stay in the neighborhood and are successful. However after 2-3 weeks of similar experiences, and staff (always lovely before) who seem to be doing customers a favor, I have come to the conclusion there is a management issue. I hope corporate management will invest in inventory and staff. This sleepy neighborhood is waking up with massive growth. Add some neighborhood PR perhaps. If you build it, we will come. In the mean time, customers, prepare to be disappointed. I know as a customer, I am committed to supporting businesses like this. This previously wonderful shop is sliding. read more

Dollop serves one of the best regular old cups o' joe in the city, although they offer so much more. The person in line ahead of me got a sandwich, and it looked really appetizing. Lunch isn't something I would usually think of when at a coffee house, but I'll definitely keep it in mind after seeing the food and perusing the thoughtful menu. There's extra seating here to, as the adjacent residential lobby is open to the coffee house, and comfy chairs and sofas abound. Service is super friendly and efficient. Nice place, great coffee. read more

Looks like a cute little coffee stop on the outside, has a few tables inside if you wanted to stop in and drink/eat. Stopped in because I saw photos of their donuts through Yelp and they looked amazing. Upon visiting, they didn't look as they did in the photos. Still purchased a cinnamon bun looking donut and it was pretty good. Ordered a coffee drink as well which wasn't bad. Was going to order a bagel because they looked amazing but they didn't have a topping other than cream cheese, so I held off. Overall a cute small, clean coffee spot. read more

Service was not good. Food was not good. Won't be back. I make better food at home. We went out of our way to eat her. Wish we hadn't

I have only been to this Dollop location, but I have been probably a dozen times and the service each time has been poor. The baristas are not welcoming, not friendly, and genuinely project extreme dismay to be serving you. For me this really detracts from what is otherwise an okay cafe, the drip coffee is good and cheap, and the assorted pastries (Beacon donuts in particular) are decent. If you want convenience and physical location I suppose it works. read more

The photos and menu posted on Yelp show breakfast sandwiches served on biscuits. They do not serve any breakfast sandwiches or biscuits. If you are coming here to eat the breakfast sandwich shown in the main photo do not because it is not sold here. Very disappointed. The staff are nice and coffee is good so if you only want a cup of coffee this place gets five stars. read more

Dollop Coffee is a great stop for your morning coffee. Their coffee is smooth and does not have a burnt taste. I have been twice and have ordered the iced vanilla latte with oat milk both times and it has not disappointed. There is a lot of space to work from home at the location by the Moody Bible Institute. This has probably been my favorite coffee shop I have tried in Chicago so far. The vibes are cool inside and they have a lot of other yummy and original options on the menu! The only issue I have is the pricing but that usually just comes with smaller coffee shops. However, I would rather pay for Dollop than a Starbucks or Dunkin. read more

I've been here about 5 times now and the only pleasant experience I've had is the customer service and the company I take with me. Other than that, I recommend going to the other coffee shops that are nearby this location like Nomad or LaBorra. The food and coffee is not great and definitely not worth the price. However, if you're willing to pay for the vibe, it can be a nice place to study. read more

I normally go to another location which tends to be really good. I ordered a bagel think it would be good but turns out to just plainly bad. I barley had any toppings applied If I'm spending almost $10 for a bagel it should be good read more

Overpriced, and genuinely just mid. the atmosphere is nice, but you could get something much better almost anywhere else.

Stopped in as I was walking to Shedds. Great matcha latte price and it was very delicious! Great customer service as well.

Latte was weak, and they charged more than $4 for an extra shot bringing the total to $11+ for a latte. That is not normal.
