    Flat white and lavender matcha

    A small but nice selection of coffee and food Very friendly staff Clean space with nice furniture andhigh ceilings and easy vibes for a catch up with a friend

    Mozzarella and tomato pesto panini
    Katrina M.

    The staff was friendly, my latte was amazing, and super cute place inside! There isn't a ton of seating, but when I went that wasn't a problem. I liked studying in there, but someone came in talking to the staff who was very loud which made it a little tough. I wouldn't let this stop me from coming back. I really would not recommend getting the mozzarella and tomato panini. It just all around was not worth $13 at all. I would come back for the coffee and the vibe!

    I've been a regular at Elevate Coffee in Uptown, usually stopping in once a week on Sundays for a panini and latte. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was disappointing. When I got home, I found my panini was burnt on both sides. I brought it back, and the new guy seemed visibly annoyed. I told him, "Just so you know, I'm not trying to be difficult here--I order these all the time, and they've never been burned." He didn't respond, and I could tell he was upset. When he handed me the remade sandwich--which was still partially burnt--I thanked him, and as he turned to walk away, his tone noticeably shifted and he said, "You have a nice day," in a way that came off as passive-aggressive. Even the latte I ordered was off--I didn't drink more than a few sips. I've been coming here since Elevate opened and have never had an issue like this. It's disappointing to feel like a bother for simply asking for what's normally a great experience. For now, I'll be sticking with Emerald Coffee--always consistent, friendly, and no issues with quality. The picture below is how the Panini always looks when I order it not burnt!

    My Coffee Shop Preferences: Shops with space to do work; good parking; good WiFi; open during afternoon hours; NOT a coffee snob, but generally judges a shop by its black coffee unless a specialty item is hyped; won't judge a place by its food, which is usually made from somewhere else Pictures on Yelp were a bit misleading on the type of place it was--the name and professionally shot pictures gave me something a bit more upscale but in reality it's a simple neighborhood shop. Street parking was pretty accessible in the morning on Wilson. The Barista was pleasant and quick to make my drink. After reading so many reviews about the Horchata Cold Brew, I decided to try it out. Unfortunately, as someone who loves traditional horchata, it really doesn't hold up. It's not a bad beverage but the drink simply tastes like slightly sweet cold brew sprinkled with cinnamon on top. I could have probably supplemented it with milk to create the creaminess associated with horchata, but I'm only judging it for how it was presented. The space itself is somewhat small but not busy and has many outlets and tables to do work. However, within a few minutes, my WiFi disconnected and I couldn't find the network afterwards. If you're in the neighborhood, I think it's a nice local establishment but not particularly worth making the trek.

    A little heavy on the cinnamon to the point it overpowered the coffee taste, but it wasn't terrible.

    just had my first Gotham bagel and OMG! egg everything was fresh with a slightly chewy slightly…read morecrusty outer and solf tender inside. Full of flavor and absolutely delicious. When are you opening in the south suburbs??? PLEASE!!!!

    I went to Gotham New York Bagels and Eat in Chicago and honestly, I loved it. The bagels were super…read morefresh, packed with a ton of filling, and had the perfect texture. I ordered the salmon bagel with onion and capers and it was incredible, really delicious. We also tried the cinnamon bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese and it was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. They also had some sliced and toasted bagels that were really good too. Every bagel came with a pickle on the side, which was a nice touch. The place itself was amazing. There were plenty of tables to sit, a cozy bar area where you can eat or have a coffee, and the overall vibe was super friendly and comfortable. It's not a huge space, but it feels really inviting and there's enough room to stay for a while, you could even bring your laptop and get some work done. In the summer, they also have outdoor seating, which makes it even nicer. The service was great, the staff was friendly, and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey. We ordered two filled bagels and one plain bagel with just a small side of cream cheese, and it was almost fifty dollars. If all three had been filled bagels, I would totally understand the price, but since one was plain, it did feel a bit expensive. We also got the strawberry cream cheese, which was good but not my favorite. I definitely preferred the cinnamon sugar one. Overall, I would absolutely go back because the bagels were fantastic, the space was cozy and welcoming, and it's a perfect spot to relax or grab breakfast, just a little on the expensive side.
