I was really wanting to find some coffeeshops to lock in on a Saturday late afternoon / early evening, and Hexe really came through for me. I thought their ambiance was really cool with the dark academic, black vibes. I ended up getting a tea since it was later in the day, but my friend said that his coffee was also quite good--I will need to get that in the future. What really impressed me was the cookie. Everything in the pastry case looked and sounded super yummy, so I caved and got their Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was SUCH a good cookie. It had the perfect texture, both crunchy and soft, and had such a well done combination of flavors. I loved the tahini and sea salt paired with the chocolate. It's a great environment for studying as well. They have a lot of tables, as well as outlets and Wi-Fi. The only drawback is that the tables are super close together, but it was still a good place to lock in. I will be coming back for sure! read more

Hexe Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tried out Hexe because I heard they had a nice big patio and we wanted a spot to work outside on this beautiful day. It did not disappoint! Big patio with so much sun. The one downside of the patio was that there were only two tables with umbrellas, which was a bit of a bummer because the sun was so bright it was hard to see the computer screen. We managed to grab one of those tables, though so all was well. The inside of Hexe is super fun. Very dark and witchy. They have good art, which is kind of rare in coffee shops. There was also art for sale that was made by Hexe staff (I think). I think that is such a cool idea! There is so much variety in what they sell. I need to come back for one of their cocktails because they looked soo good. I love that there is food, coffee, tea, beer, wine, and cocktails. Truly an all day hangout place. I got a matcha latte, which was good, but I do kind of wish I had gotten a coffee because that is what Hexe is known for. Next time. The matcha was good. I got it with oat milk and lavender. I do wish it had been a little more matcha and lavender-y and less oat milk-y. But it was still a great little patio drink! read more

I'd heard good things about this coffee shop and finally checked it out. Parking was a bit of a struggle and the place was pretty packed, but the coffee itself was solid. I also tried one of the best peanut butter cookies I've had in a long time The employee was helpful, and there were tables and seating both indoors and outdoors. They offer the option to spike your drink with a variety of options to choose from, which was a fun touch. Prices felt about average overall. Worth a visit. Just be ready to hunt for parking! read more

This was a really cool cafe that we stumbled upon while exploring the neighborhood.

Very chic coffee and cocktail cafe. Love the vibe!!! I went for coffee and did not realize they served cocktails as well. The cocktail menu was intriguing and will definitely draw me back. The espresso drinks were as good as it gets. The indoor seating is chic and comfy but it looks like there's outside seating in summer as well. read more

Stopped by Hexe Coffee Co and tried their matcha. Unfortunately, I wasn't the biggest fan -- it tasted like it wasn't made quite right. I brought it up politely, hoping it could be adjusted, but the response from the barista felt a bit dismissive and there wasn't much effort made to fix it. The space itself has a cool vibe, but customer service definitely makes a difference in the overall experience. Hoping it was just an off day. read more

Hexe.... coffee and cocktails extraordinaire! I've been a handful of times over the years for coffee, lunch, cocktails on the patio, and even events, and it's always great. The coffee is quality- I've never had a bad drink. The pastries are good, and the one sandwich I've tried (turkey/brie on baguette, no longer on the menu) was stellar. Looking at the cocktail menu, it's super inventive and fun for a coffee shop, so I looove that! Vibes are pretty chill. It's a dark, almost emo vibe (skull pastries?! Lol) with a modern twist. Comfy for working or chatting with friends, inside or outside on their super nice patio. There was a pop up event happening on the patio today- I like that they do local events to keep giving us reasons to come by :) Will def continue to come back! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches here - I love the bacon egg and cheese bagel. Outdoor space, too.

Met a friend here for coffee + work session. Was a little out of the way, but well worth it. I loved how they had specialty syrups and not just specialty drinks (which are usually only lattes). I got the seasonal special ginger turmeric syrup in a cortado and it was goooooood. I ended up also getting a croissant, as the barista was talking them up! This croissant was filled with cheese and a shishito pepper?! I didn't even know you could do that but I'm glad you can!!! It was super yummy and savory. Highly recommend. Not a ton of outlets available and was super cold inside, so bring a sweater. Plenty of outdoor tables available, but not great WiFi reach out there. Would definitely highly recommend Hexe!! read more

This cafe was fine. I could barely taste the vanilla latte and do not come here if you're working from home/have meetings. They crank up the music pretty loud. The WiFi is pretty unreliable and I had to use my hotspot. Not to mention it's super cold bc they crank the ac but the outdoor area was nice. It seems like there's a lot of customers at this place. The chocolate croissant was just fine. Although, I wish there was a little more chocolate read more

I came to this place on a whim. I always see it when I'm on the bus and was interested in trying it out eventually. Inside has black walls which I actually like. It reminds me of a saloon a bit. The bar is quite large and they also serve alcohol which is a plus. On weekends they have pizza slices. They are pet friendly and have a nice spacious patio! I got the iced latte with vanilla syrup. The coffee is pretty strong so I would definitely come back here in the morning when I need it most. They have merch available for purchase such as shirts,tote bags and glasses. They also have 5 pound bags of coffee if you want to make their coffee at home. Lastly the staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Some of the best coffee in Chicago, particularly if you like strong roasts. A lively location with friendly service, I often stop by for a coffee before a Costco run. As far as food goes they have breakfast sandwiches on biscuits or bagels and pizza on the weekends. I had a biscuit sandwich and it was delicious. read more

Needed a quick coffee before heading out and stopped at Hexe. I ordered a cold brew plain and it was very smooth. Line moved quickly and the service was superb. Chill vibe inside and an outdoor patio you can also enjoy. Had a great breakfast menu with sandwiches and pastries. Next time I will have to try! read more

Perfect coffee spot vibes, with outdoor and indoor seating. we happened to be there on a perfect Chicago weather day. Appreciative of their GF pastry items, including chocolate and lemon loaves. The chocolate was decadent (possibly more of an afternoon than morning item). Service was quick counter. I was also impressed by their selection of teas that they made both hot and cold, which were unique and fun to try. read more

Great food, service and vibe. Parking is usually easy to find. A ton of indoor and outside seating- great place to do some work. I had the chocolate banana loaf, cold brew and breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich should be done on the house muffin - it deff elevates the sandwich. It's a kid friendly spot. The line is usually out the door over the weekends but it's worth the wait. read more

We came by for some coffee before going to an event in the area. The location is located on the corner of a block, where it is easily accessible while walking but unfortunately parking is rather tough in the area. There is seating outside, and inside. The inside has a modern vibe and has dark walls and decor to match. We came by around 4pm in the afternoon and found that it was rather busy already, likely for happy hour. They offer a variety of cocktails and brews (both coffee and alcoholic!) We decided to take our items to go, with this trip I got a cold brew and a chai. Both of which were great in flavor and gave us a great pick me up. For our baked goods, we got the ham and cheese roll, cheddar bacon biscuit and share a chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was chicken salad and had ghardinara in it on sour dough bread. It was toasted and had so much flavor. Such a simple sandwich but it was great and memorable. THe ham and cheese roll was super flavorful as well, imagine a cinnamon room but instead of all the sweet you got ham and gruyere cheese in a roll. Highly recommend. All in all we had a great experience! Would definitely come back when in the area. read more

Hexe Coffee - Top: chai latte; bottom: matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I usually get lattes and I got the 8 ounce cup. A little strong from my taste. So I'm not sure if it was because it was a smaller cup and more concentrated, but not my cup of tea. But if you like a strong coffee I can see it being a good option. The service was great. The baristas were really friendly. The only downside to this place is that there is no parking and if you have a stroller, you have to go through the side and up the ramp. When I went, there were three people sitting and drinking alcohol. One of them was passed out on the Bus stop bench. Which was kind of sketchy. Since I parked across the street, I was forced to cross paths with them. But the overall coffee shop was nice. They have an outside seating area and merchandise for purchase inside. read more

This place was on the top of my visit list on my recent trip to Chicago and it did not disappoint!! I came for the little skull cakes and wow I was blown away! It was a fruit flavored icing but it paired so well with the cake. We also got the chocolate banana bread loaf and it was divine. The best part about the 2 pastries was they were gluten free! This was perfect for my boyfriend who has celiac. For my drink, I ordered an oatmilk chai and it was one of the betters chai lattes I had during my trip to Chicago. They go heavy on the cinnamon! The space was amazing as well with ample seating available inside and outside. I loved the spooky dark vibe the most! Service was quick and the people were friendly! Only issue is I wish they had a location in California!! read more

Came here for the first time today and it was a grad experience. Enjoyed my salted caramel latte and the egg and cheese sandwich on a biscuit. Like the atmosphere and all the windows, and I'm sure the patio is awesome when it's nice out. The staff was friendly too. It was quite busy in a Thursday around 11. Street parking was a bit of a challenge but I managed to find a spot. Mom pov: I came in with our baby in the stroller to meet a friend and I think a stroller the best way to bring a non-sitting little one. And you'll want to enter on clybourn because it's a stair entry on Diversey (but it's really easy to get from one side to the other since the shop is on a corner). And thankfully, they do have a changing table in one of the bathrooms and it was clean and sturdy. read more

Hexe Coffee - Egg and cheddar sandwich on a biscuit. Really good and filling. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here for a quick cup of coffee. Parking can definitely be challenging here and there always seems to be a long line. The staff was great here and despite the long lines, they didn't take long to make the orders. I ordered their Campfire Latte. It's the first time the I have ordered something like this. Im usually a drip coffee, cappuccino or latte type of guy so this wasn't definitely different. And I will say it was delicious. The takeout orders didn't have and marshmallows, but if you were dining in it did come with a toasted marshmallow. Overall the really liked the smokiness and spiciness from the black pepper and can definitely see myself returning to order this again. read more

Looooved Hexe! I came here today to work since it was absolutely gorgeous out, and Hexe has a large patio out front. The tables are spaced nicely and most have umbrellas so you aren't in direct sunlight. The interior space is super cute too! The dark walls made it cozy, it would be the perfect place to camp out on a cold winter day. The staff was so kind and answered all my questions. I ordered an iced latte and the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a biscuit. All biscuits (and other pastries) and made in house daily. The pastry display looked amazing, with muffins, croissants, scones, and more. My breakfast sandwich was heavenly!! The biscuit really elevated everything. And it's huge! My iced latte was delicious and refreshing as well. I can't wait to come back here and explore more of the menu. There's parking outback, and the patio is dog friendly and even has a pitcher of water just for the pups! read more

Pretty solid place for coffee. I'd be love to check out their cocktails and food. I got the lavender honey late and my gf got the salted carmel iced coffee and a skull cake. The service was very fast for how long the line was and I really dig the aesthetic of being witchy. Have to get a shirt next time. read more

Kinda perfect and I wish more coffee shops were doing it like this. They have a wide variety of options plus friendly baristas who don't seem annoyed when you ask questions. The "Il Monstro" sandwich tasted amazing and was the perfect size to share for a midday meal. I also really loved my cold brew thanks to their house made vanilla syrup and soy milk-- my preferred way to get it in a coffee shop. Will definitely be back to try out the cocktails and some of their tremendous looking bakery items. read more

I love this place. The coffee is high quality, it's a great space to work or to visit with friends, and I'm obsessed with the cornflake cookie (when they have it). The breakfast sandwich was huge and was on a delicious biscuit. Can't wait to come again and try more pastries. read more

Drove by Hexe several times in the bus, really wanted to stop and check it out. Today I finally had that opportunity. The patio is roomey and comfortable, a lot of traffic action but still surrounded by green. It was a beautiful day to enjoy one of the last fairly warm days. I had a cold brew which was delicious, with the best blueberry muffin I ever had. I had many (I am 72) and this one lived up to the way it looked. For once I was not disappointed, au contraire! The barista looked fabulous, she was also very knowledgeable in explaining the choices to a couple ahead of me. She apologized for the time that took. What she didn't know is, how much I appreciate that level of dedication! I am really into coffee shops, owned one myself many moons ago. Hexe moved to the top of my list, here in Chicago. (There are a few in Amsterdam that cannot be beat.) Highly recommend. read more

We stopped in for coffee and we enjoyed the noir decor, especially during October. The Smores latte and dirty chai were pretty good, and we enjoyed the bottled cold brews, which were perfectly bitter and potent. More welcoming energy from the servers would be have been appreciated, and walking our own full-to-the-brim hot beverages to our table was a challenge, and could have easily spilled onto the floor and other patrons, as the seating inside was close together. We will be coming back for more coffee and to try the drinks when we are back in the area! read more

I came here on a whim to kill time and get some work done. What i found was a cute, creative cafe with a good amount of options for food and drinks. I was debating between the Egg and Cheddar sandwich or the Ham $ Gruyère roll. The roll won and it was delectable. The outside has large pieces of ham that are mildly sweet and tasty, on top of a salty and soft bread that breaks apart easily. The inside is gooey with cheese. It wasn't even warmed up and i really enjoyed it. The mini pickle on top was a nice touch. For a drink, i got a cold brew coffee. The coffee was solid, it had a nice smoky flavor to it. The wifi was decent but it did the job for work. It was a really chill spot with a relaxing atmosphere. There's not a lot of seating inside but there's plenty of outdoor seating space too. I came on a rainy day and inside was busy. I would come back to try more from here. read more

My husband just pronounced Hexe's HUGE blueberry muffin a 35 out of 10 ‼ it pained him to give me a wedge but he did & I concur!

Nice patio and they serve more than just espresso based drinks! For this afternoon, I opted to get a cappuccino, great latte art, wish I had a double espresso to get more coffee flavor. They also do latte art on the hot chocolate too. Alcoholic beverages from beer, wine and cocktails are available. The patio was open during the winter with a few tables and chairs. Would love to come back again to try their other drinks. read more
