Loved my hojita latte. These are hard to find in the US...can't think of another cafe that has this flavor. Tasted exactly like how it did when I was in Japan. I was blown away by the service. The guy at the cash register was talking customers through the flavor profile of each drink, how they could customize it to exactly what they wanted, it was above and beyond the service you'd get at another coffee shop. The interior is designed all black with some stools along the window. read more

I don't drink coffee, but I've been here twice for Matcha. Overall, good matcha, but on the pricier side with smaller portions (and an upcharge if you request less ice). They have some fun mix-ins that other places don't have (ube, salted foam). For these prices, I want more ambiance, a place to hang out and stay a while. Rather, this is a quick service shop but there tends to be a line of people always waiting. Overall, I think Fat Miilk offers something different to our neighborhood, but I wish it was more of a third space than it currently offers. read more

First off, love the aesthetic of Fat Miilk and love supporting small Vietnamese businesses. Also loved seeing the owner on Gordon Ramsey's show. So I was really rooting for Fat Miilk!! Unfortunately Fat Miilk fell short of my expectations. Vietnamese coffee is supposed to be strong and the coffee at Fat Miilk is pretty weak. I think it's a good introduction for someone new to Vietnamese coffee, but it's not just not my cup of [coffee]. read more

My friends and I recently visited Fat Milk to grab quick coffees for our walk. I ordered an ube latte, and my friends ordered ube matcha latte and an egg foam coffee. I absolutely loved the ube latte, it had perfect shot of caffeine and the ube taste to complement the coffee. My friend who ordered ube matcha latte did not quite like his drink but it was partly his fault as he did not mix the drink well. Egg foam coffee was good too as per my friend, I don't like the yolky taste so I skipped it. They don't have any food to grab so that is a bummer and the seating space is pretty limited too! Overall, a good cafe and I will stop by if I'm again in the neighborhood. They are also part of inKind so you can get discounts while you make the payment using the app. read more

Cool black interior, fast service! My ube matcha was great with a good balance of sweetness and matcha once mixed (I asked for slightly less sweet). Nutty flavor from the ube came through well. read more

If you are looking for some good coffee in the uptown area , Fat Miilk is a great spot to try. They offer an array of flavors, but my go to is the matcha. The shop is clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful with any questions. It's worth a try if you are near. read more

So glad I finally got to try Fat Miilk! We visited on a weekday and it wasn't very busy so our order came out quick. After craving egg foam coffee for over 4 months, I finally got to try Fat Miilk's viral drink. The coffee had a wonderful, strong taste that was still sweet enough to not be too bitter. If you like Vietnamese coffee, you'll like this base. The egg foam wasn't as sweet/salty as some others I've tried. It was good, but wasn't exceptional to me. Lady M was having a pop up at the shop at the time we visited and my bf ordered the hot chocolate special. The toasted/melted marshmallow on top was super good and a wonderful touch. It was nice to see our barista torch it into the drink, pretty cool experience. The added biscuit was also a nice touch. The chocolate itself had a rich taste, however it was a little ironic how the beverage itself wasn't very hot or as hot as it could've been after we got it. It seemed to cool pretty quickly, so we were a little disappointed. Overall, the staff were very kind and the drinks were decent. I'd love to come back and try their other specials next time I'm in the area. read more

Such a cutesy lil size with a good sea salt foam! Paired deliciously with the roasted coffee bean juice. The initial taste was strong but the combination of the cream settling in made it very balanced. Shop is small and themed stylishly, with a small business clothing with socks for sale. The baristas and cashier was friendly and welcoming. read more

Good coffee in a no frills shop. There is bar seating at the window but people seem to be just sitting there to wait for pick up, not super ideal for working or chilling. I got the iced egg coffee for myself and a hot signature latte for my husband. I've also tried the iced signature latte which is great. I tried my husband's hot coffee and it was not that good so I think sticking to iced here is probably best. The egg coffee egg flavor was a little overpowering when sipping straight but when I stirred it, it was a lot better. read more

Used to be my favorite neighborhood coffee spot but due to rude baristas and bad customer service, I'm no longer going back. I hate to be a Karen but when the customer service is rude, everyone should know. Their happy hour runs from 1-3pm and it's advertised that ALL coffee is half off, and everytime I've come in I've received the happy hour special on all my coffee orders. Today I don't receive it and asked the barista and she said the special is only for phin drip coffees. The barista was rude about it even when I showed her fatmiilk's insta post about she denied it. She kept arguing the point even as I was leaving. This barista also got my order wrong but I didn't bother getting a different coffee since I knew they were busy. Not getting the special isn't the issue, but the inconsistent service and rude customer service is. I was a regular here, but now I won't ever go back. I hope this can be resolved by having every barista be informed on the specials and coffee. read more

Been meaning to come here for ages, and so glad I finally stopped by! We were super lucky to stop by during happy hour, too, which is from 1-3, and includes a fair number of their drinks being 50% off. They have a lovely space with bar seating, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the Argyle area. I got their hot signature coffee and it was very tasty and had a unique flavor, probably thanks to their robusta beans. I should've mixed it a bit more since a lot of the condensed milk in the drink ended up at the bottom, but others liked that it was not too sweet and the coffee flavor came through nicely. They also had packages of beans you can buy that they grind for you, and yummy pastries from Phlour bakery! Will definitely be back sometime to try their other drinks! read more

I've been eager to try Fat Miilk since they first opened, but I hadn't found myself in the area until now. And let me tell you, it was totally worth the wait! Their drinks are absolutely amazing! I tried the iced egg coffee, and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. It was so creamy, with the salted egg yolk on top adding a twist that took it to the next level. I also ordered a matcha latte with ube milk, which was just as delicious--smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Fat Miilk also offers a variety of other drinks and pastries. While seating is a bit limited, my sister and I were lucky enough to snag a spot at the bar. Definitely will be coming back to try their traditional Vietnamese coffee! :-) read more

Ive been to Fat Miilk more than once. The first time was great and I got a coffee with condensed milk. This time when going with my friend I wanted to try something new and got the egg coffee. Im unsure what the taste was but it was not great. I did really enjoy the sea salt coffee my friend got. The service was good there were a lot of people waiting but they did move relatively quickly. Very cute location only bar seating. read more

My friends and I were visiting Chicago from St. Louis and wanted to check out Fat Millk. Fat Miilk is so delicious and will definitely get you through your day! Cute small spot with minimal seating. It will be difficult to work or study. It's more of a quick and on-the-go coffee spot. Love the art mural inside and outside. Street parking! Okay service! read more

Great service. Drinks come out so fast! They have mastered Vietnamese coffee on tap. I had the signature drink. It's small inside; they had the seating area closed off when I went so there were only a few seats at a bar. There was no food or snacks, only drinks. The coffee is good and worth a try. read more

I came in on a Sunday and the vibe was such a vibe here, with the interior art, and the phin lab/bar. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, and the girl helped me order my drink to my liking. I got the ube iced coffee, with just one shot of espresso since I can handle very little caffeine, and of course I asked for it not too sweet. It was made perfectly, and the ube milk was so delicious. My husband got the Hot Fat Miilk Signature, and it was perfect for him. We also got to try the Iced Vanilla Latte with Sea Salt Cold Cream and that one was sooo yummy. I recommend this coffee shop, and love the seating against the glass window to people watch and just enjoy the cafe atmosphere. read more

While searching for coffee after a nearby meal, I stumbled upon this spot and lucky me, they had a happy hour special: 50% off coffee drinks Monday through Friday from 1-3 p.m. Since it was 1:30, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered an Americano and an egg coffee, though only the Americano was discounted. I didn't ask why, though I kind of wish I had. Both drinks were solid, but the egg coffee was the clear winner. That said, the Americano still hit the spot especially at half off! This place is small, and unfortunately, all the indoor seating was taken while I was there. But I took that as a good sign it usually means you're in the right place for coffee! Luckily, there's a bus stop outside with a bench, so I soaked up some sun while enjoying my drinks. Sun and coffee? Definitely a win for the day! read more

We had the egg coffee and the ube matcha latte and both were delicious! The rich coffee flavor of the egg coffee was deep and layered. There's no actual eggy flavor, but the thick, foaminess of the drink comes from the egg. There's ube matcha was a beautiful green and purple (until I shook and mixed it up) and the flavor was a perfect sweet, ube forward flavor. It's not very matcha-y but you can tell the slight bitterness and fresh flavor comes from the matcha. You really need to mix up the drink, otherwise there is a clear divide in flavor between the matcha on top and the sweet ube milk below. The store is clean and modern and the staff was efficient. read more

Fat Miilk is a must for coffee connoisseurs since you rarely see Vietnamese tea by different individual beans. It will also remind you why that is. Vietnamese coffee without sugary fun milks is not the best. I was mostly disappointed by the space though. I had been expecting to be able to set up shop and work for a while, but there are no tables and the only seating is awkwardly arranged directly in front of the awkward staff. I did not have a good time looking around for the hidden menu and then being stared at by 6 20 year olds while I read it. I will be back to try more, but my original high expectations based on its reputation turned out to be fairly off. read more

Great coffee, even greater service. Would come back and go out of my way just for the friendly service here. Definitely check them out if you're in the area, lots of unique options! read more

Loved my egg coffee. Perfectly balanced between the rich coffee and sweet custardy top. An excellent Vietnamese dessert after a Vietnamese meal. Service was good and I appreciate the small menu. read more

On a mild Sunday afternoon, we stopped by Fat Miilk for a creamy oat milk latte and it was delicious!!! Smooth, flavorful, just a touch of bitterness and lots of ice to keep it cool. It was so good, I grabbed two bags of robusta beans to take with me. The staff were friendly and the whole place had a laid back vibe. Sit at the window and sip while you watch the denizens of North Broadway going about their business. Good stuff. Cheers to Fat Miilk for bringing a Vietnamese coffee shop to Argyle. Once my bags of beans run out, I'll definitely be stopping in again! read more

I ordered a simple coffee from Fat Miilk on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 11 am. It wasn't busy during this time. One thing that really caught my eye about this establishment was the interior design. I thought the coffee shop had such a nice aesthetic with its black walls and fixtures. The white mural of the lady in the straw hat added a nice contrast to the overall black aesthetics. I just had a simple Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. It had a nice bold flavor and the condensed milk gave the coffee some richness that you can't really achieve with traditional creamer. I don't typically drink Vietnamese iced coffee even as a Vietnamese-American myself because I think most places that sell it make it too unbalanced. However, this Fat Miilk's Vietnamese iced coffee had just the right amount of creaminess from the condensed milk and richness of the coffee. Service was great. I commend the barista for concocting such a well-crafted iced coffee. read more

Had to try this place on account of being a Ramsay fan. Yes this is the one from the show!

Def worth stopping by to try it out. Fun!! read more

Based on one visit. This place specializes in Vietnamese coffee using the Phin (tin coffee drip container). The coffee is brewed drip style indirectly: There is a large area with a trough where very large Phins are used to make the coffee by hand. Then the coffee is transported to the counter where it is distributed. See pictures. I make this style of Coffee at the office sometimes. I usually don't use condense ed milk which is the norm. I was skeptical and ordered an iced phin with condensed milk. It was really good. Note that this style of coffee is quite strong. But I love strong coffee. They also have other drinks including brewed coffee, Americanos, Cappuccino's, teas etc. the place has a big city masculine vibe. The seats are not that comfortable at least for me noting I am 5'10. Very friendly service from three people I interacted with. I really felt welcomed. Big plus noting this is just one visit. Definitely worth a try. read more

Ordered the Traditional Vietnamese Cold Brew and the Blueberry Danish that was on rotation. The coffee is still great, and the scone was phenomenal. Crispy outside with crunchy sugar pellets. I'm not sure if they got rid of the original branded cups, but wish they brought them back. It would also be nice if they opened at 7:30am, but at least there is always staff ready at 8:00am to open the door. read more

Visited July 16, 2024. The Iced Vietnamese Traditional Coffee is delicious! Highly recommend this if you like strong coffee. Some places have a lingering aftertaste but Fat Miilk is pretty smooth, not too sweet (with condensed milk), and does the hassle of the dripping process for you! Service was great and had great authentic restaurant recommendations for the area. Ambiance was a clean dark interior. read more

This place is pretty good! I got the matcha latte, and it was so good. The matcha flavor wasn't too strong, but a good balance with the milk. I do wish there were more milk options, but this place was good nonetheless! They accommodated to all my requests. The baristas were super kind and explained everything to me, making sure to meet all my dietary needs--even with all my questions! I love a cafe that has patient and attentive service! They were also really helpful with explaining some of their specialty drinks. I just wish this was a study café and closer to home because I'd stay here ALL DAY--the vibes are immaculate. Next time I'm in the area, I'm definitely trying their Vietnamese coffee. I just KNOW it'll be good. As a Vietnamese American, I'm so happy I can support small businesses like this one. read more

The entire cafe space is super cool in terms of interior decor! The all black with the textures on the wall make it have such a cool feel. This space is definitely a grab and go coffee feel as opposed to a WFH type of cafe. The coffee is DELICIOUS. It's one of my favorites in the city! The ladies who were working there were nice and service was quick. Lan, the owner, is so sweet and extremely friendly! This is 100% worth stopping by at before or after a meal in uptown. read more
