Went here and really enjoyed the coffee! These staff were patient and made all our drinks great.

Four words - - - Dirty Purple Haze Latte!!! The spice girl & the thyme is honey we're great drinks too. But I'm all about the ube & hazelnut. This place is AMAZING! Great coffee & pastries The staff is amazing too. So friendly. Great urban vibe and lovely seating options. Took home some espresso beans and made another great latte at home later. Parking is an issue in the neighborhood. But it's not bad on the weekends. And if you're already in the area or taking public transportation it's an easy stop. read more

I tried the "id date myself" which was made with red date- they definitely have some super creative name Ns recipes for their coffee selections! The cafe itself is decorated nicely and cozy. If we weren't on our way somewhere else, I wouldn't mind sitting here to enjoy my coffee. Over all I'd come back and try and different flavor next time. Loved it! read more

Perfect little coffee shop tucked in the Loop. The Purple Haze and Bee Sting lattes are both delicious! Definitely worth stopping in. My wife and I also shared their cheese omelette sandwich. Really good on the brioche bun! read more

Happy Monday Coffee - Loop - a view of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing coffee concoctions. I mean yeah they are expensive but Happy Monday is the only place I can get a nice Thyme Honey Latte. Actually thinking about this, I'm not sure why I haven't tried some of these coffee concoctions at home. We also got our breakfast here (such as perfect bakery items). All in all a pricey coffee experience, but a good one. Everyone loved their options form a kid's hot chocolate to my spicy coffee (I'm still dreaming of the bee sting) be warned, google maps seems to put this next door. Odd Note: Bathroom is available, they put you to this guard who takes your ID and you have to go up to the top of the building. So ask if you need to! read more

This place would drain my bank account if I lived in Chicago! Had such a unique and delicious coffee to start my day while enjoying such a friendly barista and beautiful coffee shop. I had an iced birds and the bees - lavender and honey? Yes, please! read more

Always looking for a good, local coffee shop in the neighborhood, and saw that Happy Monday recently opened in the South Loop. Went for a morning pick-me-up, and definitely will be coming back soon. Happy Monday has some really creative drinks on the menu to satisfy any latte lover. I got the "thyme is honey" latte which comes in a cute bear glass (and it was delicious!!) The space inside was also very cute & chic, and just had a good vibe all around for studying or catching up with a friend. There was also some items for purchase at the sop including lots of snack items. read more

This cute coffee shop has a large variety of creative drinks available and you can pay a couple dollars extra for it to come in a teddy bear container (that you can keep after). The drinks were sweet and delicious but a bit on the pricey side. The cafe was in a building's lobby so they didn't have their own restroom but you could go upstairs to the office lobby. The space was open and empty with tons of seating! read more

Came here on a Saturday looking for a nice quiet place to get some work done and was SO happy to have found one here. The place is a comfortable size and there is enough seating that a good number of people can fit. I got their thyme latte which came in the most adorable bear cup! The latte was incredible and you could just taste a hint of thyme. I found the work space very comfortable and was able to be quite productive. Note that they don't have their own bathroom. Docking one star because it was ridiculously hot inside. read more

Happy Monday Coffee - Loop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely love trying out local coffee shops when I'm in a new city, especially one like Chicago where the options are plentiful. The place is a little tucked away, but they make it easy with a sign directly in front of the shop if you look a bit. I opted for a Bee Sting and it was absolutely delicious...exactly what I was hoping for! I loved it so much I ended up bringing my husband the next day. Sadly, the second day the Bee Sting wasn't at all like the first day and was lacking flavor in all aspects. They were definitely busier the second day and seemed like they were rushing to keep up with the demand, but it was disappointing the consistency wasn't there. Overall, a cool place with unique options! read more

I liked the coffee. Small cafe so can get lil crowded over the weekend. Nice interior too. The teddy coffee is for take away or in cafe only. Can't order it online. read more

Cute spot in the Loop for some unique drinks! The ambience was really aesthetic and the staff was nice. Got the "Thyme is Honey" because it came in an adorable bear glass - the drink had a bit too much cinnamon for my taste but good nonetheless. They also have outlets - convenient for remote work. Will definitely be back to try some of the other options + CBD add-ons. Hidden gem for sure! read more

Had the Grandmas Bag coffee and it was excellent! I was just visiting Chicago but I would definitely recommend.

Such a cute coffee shop, but their drink definitely look better than they taste. I ordered their latte served in a bear cup (honestly got it because of the bear cup lol) and although it was cute, it didn't blow my mind. The matcha with strawberry boba was also just ok. Overall, really enjoyed the ambience but I don't see myself going back. read more

Stopped by while I was here for Lollapalooza 2023! The coffee was really good and the specialties were unique. I tried the bee sting, and it had a nice kick to it. I also managed to grab a cinnamon roll (last one bc it was so busy!!) and was also pleasantly surprised! I'm kinda desensitized to coffee but my friend said it was pretty strong haha. It's a really cute spot, and the interior is super clean. Probably better to grab and go though bc seating is limited. read more

Super cute shop. It's got seating and tables for people to sit, rest, study, work, and so on. Lots of merchandise to look at and admire as well. The purple haze latte is an absolute delight. It's got used, hazlenut, and oat milk. It's foamy soft and warm so it was perfect for the gloomy weather. It isn't too sweet and the ube has a great flavor which isn't too strong. I agree with the description- it's a perfect latte. Thyme is honey is a cold drink in a cute honey bear cup. Once you finish the drink you can ask to wash and keep as souvenir. It's more of an ice coffee with light sweetness with hint of spices to give the warm flavor. One of the best coffeeshops I've been to for sure. read more

An awesome coffee shop near the Palmer hotel. I got the mocha, which was amazing. The owner was very friendly and the decor of the place is exquisite. The chairs and the space takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I would highly recommend to give this place a visit. read more

Place was cute. Maybe I caught them on an off day, which I have sympathy for, but the woman working there was incredibly rude. No customer service at all. My drink was ok but not worth it, would not come back. read more

Cute cafe with a clean refreshing vibe! Honestly came for the bear jar, but glad I did! Thyme is Honey is cinnamon-y and Grandma's Bag was sweet. My friend and I split the croissant and we both loved the tartness of the raspberry jam in the center with the chocolate. read more

I enjoyed it so much the first time I had to go back the next day. I've added it to my favs for future Chicago visits and have already recommended. Each drink taste exactly as you'd expect based on the ingredients. And the little bear is so cute. You can have any drink put in it. You can even save the bear container and get a discount. The staff is great. So friendly. The shop is so cute. I say back and relaxed while I hopped on a zoom. read more

Visited during a business... def passed the vibe test! Incredibly cozy and inviting interior as you take a sip of some amazing coffee.

Definitely a cute spot if you're ever in downtown Chicago! read more

8.5/10 It is a small, intimate place with a chic ambiance with low-fi background music. Perfect for working/studying with your laptop. Too quiet for dating. Coffee beans are from Columbia and Mexico. It would be nice if I can try more coffee beans before I buy a bag. It supports third-party vendors, including various snacks and beauty products. read more

Cute little coffee shop. I tried the trendy Thyme is Honey with an extra shot of espresso since it only comes with 2 shots. I also had a cinnamon crunch muffin. The coffee was good, although I didn't taste any thyme. The muffin was a bit dry but still edible. The employees were friendly and welcoming and the vibe inside the place was relaxing. It's worth checking out. read more

Such a pretty coffee shop! I love the interior, and I got their popular bear latte. It was super yummy, and it had a pretty strong coffee flavor too. I sat in for a few hours to do some work, and it was relatively quiet and had good Wi-Fi. The only downside is that there isn't a restroom nearby (you have to go next door to the apartment and ask to go up to use the restroom, but it's a hassle of a process). The latte itself was a bit expensive ($7), but for the cup and how good it is, I don't mind. I recommend! read more

Coffee was good, but man was this place hard to find walking. It's located at the bottom of THE ALFRED apartment complex. Service was good, but just another basic coffee shop. Just to clarify, basic coffee does not get you 4 or 5 stars. There are too many of you - so you have to do a bit more to earn more than 3 stars. Don't be upset. I won't be bullied into changing my mind. read more

Happy Monday offers a delightful start to the week with its inviting atmosphere and scrumptious pastries. The cinnamon roll croissant is delicious, and if they don't offer I would recommend asking them to slightly heat it up for you. My friend got the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious on a nice brioche bun. She added ham which made it that much better. The café has a very chill and relaxing ambiance, coupled with friendly staff, enhances the overall experience, making it an ideal spot to get some work done or just sit for a minute and enjoy a latte with a pastry. If you're in the south loop looking for a nice coffee drink this hits the spot. read more

Great location, and the coffee is fantastic, especially with a shot of THC, and they make a decent breakfast sandwich, too. We loved the baristas who are from Columbia and are here to learn more about the US to expand their coffee growing and roasting business. Worth a stop. Sorry no pictures this go around. read more

I loved every bit of my visit. Customer service, atmosphere, and recommendations were spot on. I am one of those people who order a different espresso drink anywhere I go, I don't stick to a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, etc. I love to switch it up. I gave my likes to the person that was working at the time, sad I didn't catch their name, and I feel like my description of what I was looking for was listened to and my drink choice hit the spot. The store front is unassuming and could be missed easily but I was on a mission to find it because of Yelp! The decor is simple and chic and I would enjoy hanging out at a spot like this for hours, I had my teenager with me sleeping in the hotel near by so not possible during this visit to Chicago. I visited around 8:10-8:15 and there was only one other person in the store so service was quick. Price was less than I expected. My total for Thyme is Honey was $7 and some change and with tip less than $10, which to be honest, compared to what we had been spending on anything & everything in downtown Chicago this wasn't bad. read more

Awesome place! Nice chill vibes in a cozy interior. The specialty late I got was delicious, and the croissant that was recommended to me was soooooo good. I would come back next time I'm in the city. Only downside was they seemed to be out of stock of a few items I wanted. But everything else was great! read more

I came here twice when I was in Chicago. I love their drinks. I love the vibe. The staff are super nice and chill. And I love how creative their coffees were. Unfortunately each time I went they were out of the purple haze (they didn't have Ube). One day i went I got the Thyme is Honey latte. It was so good. Perfect sweetness for me. Unfortunately I didn't get a bear cup but I think i got more volume of liquid in the regular cup. I also got a cinnamon bun croissant. That was super flaky and delicious too. But it was very sweet. The second day I went I got the Grandmas bag latte. That was good too. And I also got this breakfast bun thing called a kolache with sausage, egg, cheese, onions and peppers. That was super tasty too and I almost preferred it over a sand which. Basic but tasty. Unfortunately no pics for this one This cafe is one of the things I missed the most after leaving Chicago. I really wanted to try more of their drinks. Like the bee sting and the fudgecicle mocha that had a fudgecicle in it cause why not. It really was just a cozy vibe and I really loved how creative and tasty their drinks were. read more

I found out about this place on Twitter. As a coffee consumer, I had to see for myself. I got the Thyme is honey beverage with 20mg of thc. I was able to get the drink hot instead of cold and still have the bear cup to-go. The drink was okay. The cinnamon was pungent and the honey wasn't doing enough. The thc infusion did do much. I've had gummy edibles that have hit harder. read more

Would go again just for Renee. Renee explained all the drinks, and the speciality menus in details and even gave my puppy a pup cup:) I got the butterscotch and vanilla drink with half the sugar and it was AMAZING Im definitely going back and trying that. It was so yum read more

There are very few independent coffee shops in Chicago's Loop, and even less that are open on the weekend. To my recollection, other than Goddess and the Baker, the only other coffee shop options in the Loop on the Weekend are Starbucks and Dunkin. So, Happy Monday Coffee being open on Saturdays and Sundays is a huge plus right off the bat. This is, however, not the only plus. Their coffee is great. On a recent visit, I ordered the Iced Salted Caramel Latte. I loved it. It had a nice coffee taste, just right amount of caramel favor and the it wasn't too salty. I have found the salted caramel drinks are often way too salty, but thankful it was not in case. Also, the price of my drink was reasonable. I got a 12 oz for just over $5.00. Specifically drinks at Independent coffees are not cheap, but lately I feel the price is on the rise. I tried a new independent coffee shop in Pilsen (I won't name the place here) that changed over $7.00 for a tiny hot latte. In comparison, while not cheap, the price for my drink was reasonable. Next, I loved the vibe. The interior has sleek white walls, plenty of comfortable seating and lots of plants to make the place feel homely. They were even playing a chill-hop YouTub chancel for their music on a big flat scream TV that I have listened to in the past. I took my coffee to go, but I can see myself hanging out here. There are some negatives. Given the location, this not a place you want to drive to as parking is expensive and scarce. While this is just life in this area of Chicago, and not the fault of the coffee shop, it limit how I can foresee myself coming here. I drove here, and had to park around the corner illegally. However, if you are on foot in the area this is the perfect spot. It is even close to an L stop. The chocolate and raspberry croissant was over priced and forgettable. It was soft, not crispy and flaky, but did have a decent chocolate and raspberry flavor. It tasted like it had been sitting in a plastic bag, and not freshly baked. To the barista's credit, she asked me if I wanted it heated up. I declined because I wanted to rush to get back to my car. At $5.00+ it was not worth it. In sum, this coffee shop is a great find and must visit, especially if you are walking around the loop or work in the area. read more

I've been to the coffee shop that was here before this place opened and I really like the updates they made! Feels clean and modern, with friendly baristas. I got the butterscotch latte and while the drink didn't taste bad, there was no butterscotch flavor whatsoever. I'd like to come back and give something else a try, but can only give 3 stars as the experience was average. read more

I'm coming in from Los Angeles / DC , and 7.76 for coffee is so absurd. I got a horchata latte so maybe it was a specialty latte, but even then it wasn't anything spectacular and it was sort of watery. Absolutely not worth the price. Edit: The business owner's response is crazy like your coffee is still not good for 7$ anyways fair grounds which is like 2 streets down to me is worth the price read more
