A very modern and minimalist coffee shop! One of my friends recommended it, and told me it was her go to. After getting it, I can understand why! I got the brown sugar maple latte. It was really tasty (I love a dessert coffee). Despite it being the middle of the work day and very crowded, our drinks were still ready quickly! The sizes for the price were a bit off putting but the flavor made up for it. The space itself is cute, they have some cool chocolate bars and plenty of treats! read more

small, minimal coffee shop with no seating. i came by once a few months ago but sadly it was closed, so i was excited to come try it this time. i got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk, which came out to ~$8. there were 2 size options for 12oz or 16oz and the 12oz was $6.50 while the 16oz was $7 so of course i got the 16oz option. the latte was ready within just a few minutes and was looking very pretty. the matcha itself was very good, i opted for the sweetened version and it was delicious. update: i think next time ill maybe ask for it to be less sweet because after drinking about half of it, it became a bit TOO sweet for me (user error) read more

I was super excited to try this coffee shop based on the reviews and menu options. I mobile ordered ahead of time and my drink was ready upon arrival. I had the iced black sesame seed latte. At first glance it look good, but it tasted like flavored milk, almost like a milkshake. At $8 price point I expected better. read more

Pretty good coffee spot. It gets busy! I was the first order of the morning and had to wait almost 10mins due to mobile orders. Didn't realize it would take that long as I was visiting for a work trip and needed to get to a 7:15am meeting. Pretty simple inside (not a bad thing). But you can't work from there. Their pastries looked amazing and I will want to try one next time I'm in town. read more

My experience was great, this place is extremely busy. Yet, they do not rush the extraction of espresso shots, and they take their time with steaming to ensure perfect accuracy in each cup of coffee. That is what I truly appreciate from this place. The art of pouring a perfect drink that pair as well with a nice day. The ambiance is simple and it gets the job done. It is meant to be a grab and go location but still feels like you are in an upscale location. Amazing work team! read more

Cute, minimalistic coffee shop right in the opera house. Great place to go if you're working downtown. Nowhere to sit, and gets extremely busy but the line moves fast and the employees are all really nice. I got the black sesame latte with oat milk, 16oz. I'd recommend adding an extra shot if you like a stronger taste, without it it's a bit too milky. Not a place to sit/chat/work from, but great to stop by read more

Excellent matcha - now a top on my list for Chicago. Tried it unsweetened (which not many places do because they use premade mixes) with strawberry and it was the perfect sweetness level. This is a grab and go spot.. no seats or space to sit. Unfortunate but it was good enough that I'd return for sure. read more

I work across the street and learned about this Coffeeshop from my interns, so you know it is trendy! There were a lot of young people getting coffee on a Thursday morning when I was there, but my coffee was made very quickly. One note is that there is not seating and it was quite crowded; this is not a Coffeeshop where you could park with your laptop and work all day. It was pretty loud, but I was there at the morning rush. Very tasty - I had the iced maple seasonal latte and seasonal scone, which was a cheese and herb. read more

Absolutely the best coffee in the area. What made the experience even more exceptional was the team behind the bar. Not only did they serve an incredible espresso and milk coffee, but they also took the time to walk me through the origin of the beans and their brewing process. You could tell they genuinely care about their craft and take pride in every cup they serve. Espresso was rich and well-balanced, with bright notes that were perfectly complemented by the smoothness of the milk (I got almond milk, which often gets messed up). It's rare to find a spot where both the product and the people are this dialed in! Great experience all around. Will be back for sure! read more

I would say the matcha here is near perfect. I got the iced matcha latte with strawberry and pistachio milk. First off, the flavor profile was one of the best I've had. The matcha seemed high quality, and I appreciated they made it correctly by whisking it so that it was smooth. The strawberry was perfectly sweetened, not sour. The only downside is the cost (close to $10), however for me it was worth it. read more

This coffee shop was such a wonderful surprise. They have their typical lattes and such, but their seasonal menu was very intriguing. I got their Cardamom Rose latte and it was a perfect balance between the two flavors. It did take a while to get my order, but the service was very friendly. There is no room to sit and hang out, so it is a grab-and-go kind of place. They do have some pastry options - their lemon poppyseed muffin was very dry. read more

This is probably one of my top coffee shops in Chicago. This place is on point. While my husband likes a traditional latte, I'm a matcha person & it's hard to find an actual legit matcha latte in Chicago. Yes, there are some places but they aren't using quality matcha or know how to properly prepare it. This place does. Their espresso based & matcha based options are both amazing. They have interesting specials utilizing unique syrups/ingredients all the time that are not your usual basic options, I'm talking cool sh*t. I love that. Just highly recommend. This is one of my personal favorites period. And I love the added eye candy of them being at the bottom of the civic opera building. Just can't go wrong here. read more

I love espresso and milk's bougie take on coffee. This is a small coffee shop in the civic opera building. They have hardly any seating, it's more like a to go coffee shop. The service is fast. The baristas are sweet and nice to talk to for recommendations. The ambience is very modern and chic with only blacks and whites. I tried their limited menu option beverage called root beer espresso. It was very interesting! They mixed in root beer with espresso on ice. I really liked the combination.

Espresso and Milk is my GO TO coffee spot. The line can get long but they offer ordering ahead and they never rush on the quality of the drink. I love their iced lattes (I always order a small with an extra shot because I don't like my coffee too milky) but today I got a hot flat white and that was perfect too. Not to gas them up too much but even the temperature was perfect. Didn't burn my mouth or have to wait to drink. Chocolate croissant was AMAZING! Didn't take a pic because I ate it so fast.

I decided to check this place out after seeing it on social media since it's on my way to work. Against my better judgement, I decided to check it out even though I saw the swarm of people. I figured, it's just coffee, how long can the wait be...Oh, it was BAD. I waited 25 min for a latte. The thing is I saw some people get their coffee who had come AFTER me..and they were NOT mobile orders, so of course, that added to the wait...(and annoyed me) It was just a bit too chaotic...Coffee, when I finally got it, was okay but certainly not worth 25 min wait for it. read more

When we were there, they had 4-5 people working behind the bar, which made for speedy service! I had the mocha with guava which was a new flavor combination to me.

This place has been on my list for a while but I never got to it until I ran across it on the way to my internship. The inside, while small and with no seating, is beautiful with an overall white marble tone. I've been there three times, each time getting a different drink. The rose chai latte was not overly floral as I find with most rose-flavored drinks, the matcha latte was great, and today's honey lavender latte was the perfect blend of the flower and honey. The baristas are very kind and have been willing to answer any questions I had.

This is a mellow, laid back juice bar where once can simply study or simply people watch like I did. I ended up sitting here solo for about 30 - 40 minutes people watching lol! I thought the restroom sign was very unique and had to take a picture of it! Definitely recommend to those in the area or simply visiting.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. I needed an energy boost, so I got the Pick Me Up and subbed…read morethe apple juice base with coconut water. It was very easy to make the modification, which was much appreciated. The outcome was just what I needed!
