Stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat. Tried the avocado bagel sandwich and it was delicious. The food is made fresh not just heated up and served. Also had the chai latte. The entire has several areas to sit and is decorated nicely. The service was friendly and fast. read more

Great selection of unique coffee selections. The espresso was smooth and the drink was not too sweet. I had the crème brûlée and it was delicious. The barista was really nice. Will be back to try other drinks. read more

I had high expectations since they had great Yelp reviews however the food and drinks didn't meet my expectations. I kid you not, I couldn't find a chunk of bacon in my egg bites despite them being bacon and cheese bites. Good thing it came with a side of hot sauce because it really lacked flavor. I also couldn't taste orange in my iced latte. Service was very friendly and everything came out fast, which is a pro. It's also a comfy place to work or study since they have plenty of seating and free wifi. read more

ASH & JESSE'S CHICAGO COFFEE CRAWL '25 Ranked #2 out of 15 Rankings are based purely based off personal tastebuds & satisfaction. Let's just say our visit to Elevate Coffee in Boystown did just that--satisfy. Their Banana Fosters latte was insane. Absolutely delicious. On the sweeter side for sure but I absolutely loved it. 9/10. We also got their Orange Vanilla latte which is a lot less sweeter and subtle on the orange flavor but still so good. 7/10. For food, we got their chimmichurri & goat cheese breakfast muffin which we split. The perfect snack and everything we loved. Barista was the sweetest as well. P.S If possible please take your time to walk the area. Read every post that has a sign-- we learned so much about Chicago's history & especially LGBTQ+ history. A lovely area. read more

Charming little coffee shop on Halsted that gave us the perfect pick-me-up with their custom lattes. The Bananas Foster Latte and Tiramisu Latte were both fantastic, full of flavor and creativity. We also tried the Strawberry Matcha Lemonade--refreshingly delicious and unlike anything we've had before. read more

This is my second time visiting and overall love the vibes here and the number of drink options and food options (savory and sweet!) the first time I came it seemed a bit better and this time it felt like they were cranking out the drinks so fast and the milano flavor was pretty muted in the latte I ordered, and they were out of the orange vanilla one that i liked last time, even at 9 am! Overall would recommend, maybe this recent time was just an off day. read more

Came back again and decided to try some new coffee flavors and a sandwich. The Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Panini was very good. The prosciutto wasn't necessarily the best, but it was good. The coffees were just okay, we tried the Creme Bru-Latte and Tiramisu Latte. I still prefer the Milano Cookie Latte. read more

Service here is always friendly and they have excellent cold brew and espresso. I tried it as I was walking by and have been back many times. read more

We both ordered the sausage pepper jack sandwich and they were ice cold. Unfortunately could not let them know they were busy. Extremely uncomfortable metal chairs. Coffee was fine nothing to write home about. Staff were nice. We went next door to Savannah for hot breakfast. read more

Amazing coffee and food! We stopped in for a late breakfast and ordered an iced cold brew with a splash of oat milk, the loaded breakfast burrito, and the avocado breakfast bagel - all tasted great! The avocado breakfast bagel was a standout, highly recommend! Seating was ample, modern and clean decor, and this is a very comfortable place to hang out, work, or meet with friends. Our service was very quick and friendly as well. read more

So came in for the avocado toast and it was well... ok. For 12.50 for one piece of toast I wanted it to be great and it was just ok. In addition while the cashier was friendly, it took a very long time to get our order. Might come back to try the coffee but will get breakfast elsewhere next time read more

Stopped by Monday morning for a little pick me up. Ordered the creme bru-latte and a matcha mango latte. The creme bru-latte was sooo yummy but the mango matcha latte tasted weird since they used a cheap tasting mango syrup. Definitely recommend the creme bru-latte but do NOT recommend the mango matcha. There are a lot of tables for working. Pretty quiet considering most people are working on their own things instead of chatting read more

Great cold brew, strong and rich taste. Helpful staff. Good ambiance. Nice food selection and not stuffy

We're still in Chicago...Found this coffee shop after the other one up the street was so rude we walked out! Delicious nitro cold brew and pastries!! Good looking, nice art on the walls, ambient & clean on the inside! Interesting mix of customers in a fun neighbourhood. Service is quick and hospitable! read more

Had a few hours to kill in Boystown a few weeks ago, so stopped by here to hang out and draw. Very relaxed, laid back place, and good coffee. Barista was quite friendly. Atmosphere is very minimalist and modern, which I don't usually go for but they pulled it off. All told, great place. Lots of tough competition in the area and they can definitely compete. Will definitely return! read more

Good coffee and croissant, and a cozy atmosphere. The baristas were nice and patient, and I got my order quickly. I was a bit cold sometimes and the music was a little loud occasionally, but I enjoyed my time there and would return. read more

Great coffee here and really nice staff. Was a great place to grab and go and walk the neighborhood

My coconut honey latte was fantastic, but there is not much seating space for the number of customers they get so maybe plan to grab 'n' go. read more

I wholeheartedly love this place! Stumbled crossed it a year ago. I was recovering from a night out in Boystown and needed a Matcha to help cure me. This place hit the spot. Their Lavender Matcha Latte is IMHO the best I've found in Chicago. And the staff, amazing! My second encounter here, the staff remembered my name! I'll always come to this place for my morning matcha. Lovely atmosphere, chill, relaxing, and cozy! read more

By far my favorite coffee shop in the Lakeview area. Their speciality drinks are amazing, and priced reasonably at $6. The Crème- Bru Latte is my favorite, both iced and hot. The service is consistently top notch, even when they're busy. I will say, it does get really busy.. I've come here to work before and given up and gone somewhere else because there was nowhere to sit. Every time I get the food it's really high quality, as a frequent guest I wish they changed it up more, but it works in a pinch. It's quiet enough to take a call if necessary, but it does get a little noisy when packed. read more

Very nice coffee shop, friendly staff. They have NO Gluten Free options it is warm and cozy inside. read more

Fun selection of seasonal coffees, the chai gingerbread was tasty. Friendly baristas. They sometimes project a fireplace onto the wall which is cute. I wish they had everything bagels! I really think that would *elevate* the breakfast sandwich. Sandwiches are more reasonably priced than others in the area at $9. read more

Bright and airy spot with tasty drinks and stays open into the afternoon. I had an Americano and the avocado toast, which was very delicious and a great size portion. It was a bit crowded to find a table at first but once I was settled, I felt comfortable working here for the day. Staff was very kind. read more

Nice clean and quality coffee shop. Luke has to be the best ambassador barista. Excellent customer service and tip well earned. Thank you. I had their nitro brew and it was refreshing. read more

i highly recommend the orange vanilla latte, so yummy! maybe pair it with a bagel and enjoy

First time trying Elevate Coffee and I have to say I am quite impressed. WHAT I ORDERED: I ordered one of their specialty drinks, the Crème Bru Latte, and I got it iced. If you like sweet drinks, this is for you. It comes out around $6 but it's definitely worth it. I am a big fan! It tastes like a classic vanilla/Carmel latte with more sweetness and creaminess. VIBE: All the tables were taken with remote workers which was great to see! It was quiet enough to get some work done, but with a nice amount of background noise to make it comfortable. There were chargers near the tables as well. I will definitely be going back! read more

The breakfast sandwiches are incredible! The staff are friendly and the vibe is great!

Tasty coffee, surprisingly good sandwiches. Great place to work or relax a few hours, music is never too loud. Friendly staff.

We tried the Iced Tiramisu Latte and it was better than anything Starbucks has to offer. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a superior cup of coffee for a great price. Friendly staff and a good vibe tied it all together. 10/10 will be back. read more

This is a cool coffee place to check out in the Lakeview area. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. They have many coffee/tea beverage options available and also a food menu as well. I ordered a latte to drink and a Kolache to eat while I was there. My group was able to find a table very easily on a Saturday morning, but it did get busier as time went on. If you want a guaranteed table, you may want to visit their website to book a table reservation. Very few cafe's offer this option, so I admire the fact that they offer this option. read more

I've always enjoyed this place as a coffee shop, but the other day I was hungry and passing by, so I decided to grab a bit of takeout. Imagine my surprise when I got home and opened up the box to face easily the most gorgeous avocado toast I've ever seen. What's more, it tasted incredible: great ingredients across the board, and served atop a layer of perfect salt-and-pepper chips. I've always recommended the coffee shop and their beverages, now I can add a wholehearted endorsement of the food. Who knew?! Just writing this made me hungry again... read more

Elevate Coffee - Boystown - Avocado Caprese Toast - SUPERB - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We ordered a breakfast burrito, a slice of banana bread, crème brûlée latte and a spiced maple oat milk latte. We unfortunately didn't take photos of the food because we were starving so by the time it got to us we scarfed it down. The burrito was mid, it's the only thing that equates to us giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. In their defense I don't think they have a full kitchen and just make do with a service counter. I bet they probably only have things like a panini press, microwave and toaster over friendly foods. The eggs in the burrito were those square slices of egg which really turned me off, on top of soggy sausage. We added bacon to ours but the bacon was also soggy and not crisp at all. The crème brûlée latte tasted like a Starbucks drink with how ridiculously sweet it was. I was not a fan of that one but my boyfriend enjoyed it. I very much enjoyed the spiced maple oat milk latte. I thought it was the perfect level of sweet. The banana bread was also very delicious. read more

I loved it! Came here to do work and the wifi was better than mine at home! Was able to do work including video meetings with no problem. As others have mentioned the space is great to do work as there is enough ambient noise but it's not distracting. I ordered the violet matcha latte w/ oat milk and it was great! The violet added a nice complimentary flavor. I also had the bagel sandwich which was so unique and tasty - it came with eggs, avocado, cheese, and pistachios of all things! It worked well together and was super yum. The staff is really nice too. Highly recommend! read more
