Came here on a Monday and worked for about an hour. I was able to find a seat no problem, the WiFi worked well and seating was comfortable. I had the dulce de leche latte with oat milk, and it was so good. I really enjoyed it and it had the right amount of espresso strength. The barista was nice and friendly. The only thing I would say was missing was food or fresh pastries. I was hungry and hoping to get a scone or something with my drink and all they offered were muffins that were prepackaged. I would return when in the Pilsen area. read more

Came here for a study session, it was a cute, cozy, small area that's below the church. They also have a parking lot which I noticed after I arrived. The coffee was good and my favorite was the horchata latte. Staff are friendly and it was just a cozy experience. read more

The workers could work on their welcoming skills. It's not a big coffee shop and it gets a little busy but there's 3 people in the front working. Nitzi, I think that was her name - took my order and I think she was taken aback when I asked her for her name. I always like to know so I can say thank you afterwards with their name. I ordered and iced coffee with a little coconut syrup but they added coconut milk instead which is fine - It's a very good coffee and I'll be back. Hopefully they have improved on their welcoming skills. Btw- the coffee shop has a beautiful chapel connected to it. Go visit it and give thanks! read more

Breve Vanilla Latte : 3 of 5 Coffee was rather weak tasting for my liking. Service was fast and the ambiance is probably the most unique out of a coffee shop. I think this is mainly because it's located/connected to a Catholic church. Very rustic and peaceful vibes. The people here are the best part. Very nice and talkative. I even got to help fix the lights Give this place a shot for sure though. read more

The most unique coffee shop I have visited and truly a gem! I came in on a cold fall day with a friend from town and was completely blown away at how stunning the chapel connected is. It is a small coffee shop with community feels but they have space to enjoy your treats and board games too. They had a pretty succinct menu offering all you cafe favorites with a few fall and specialty beverages. I tried their 'viral' 'Iced Banana Bread Latte' which was GREAT! My friend and I stayed for a while, enjoyed our beverages and even played some of the games they offered. The service wasn't the most personable but it was a tad busy. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by enjoying the chapel and getting a sweet treat! read more

Glad I finally got to try this place since they have been on my list for a minute. I ordered the polar bear latte and the banana bread latte. Both were just okay. The flavor on the banana bread latte didn't really come through and the feedback my significant other gave for the polar bear latte was "it just takes like espresso and cold foam". I agreed. I do appreciate that the coffee is strong but absolutely no flavors. The barista was not friendly and looked like he didn't want to be so the encounter was a bit awkward and it took a lot of the excitement out of the experience. read more

After seeing this place in so many articles and videos, we had to stop by for ourselves. It's tucked away in the church basement, and such a cute spot to grab a coffee, other beverage, or sit and study or meet someone up in the neighborhood. It's very welcoming and I love that it's run by students. Such a creative way to use the space. The prices are super reasonable. To my understanding, there is only one size. The size was very filling and way cheaper than most other coffee shops. But even if it was pricier, I wouldn't mind paying more for this place. The coffees we tried were great, they also have seasonal specials. Overall, it's a great atmosphere to come enjoy in the heart of Pilsen. I hope to see it continue to thrive! read more

Good coffee and variety of drinks both hot and cold. Friendly and genuine staff. Great relaxing place to read and contemplate; access an adjoining chapel with wall-to-wall stained glass and illuminated iconography -- no better place to reflect and ponder for a minute or greater while. read more

Stopped by Holy Grounds in Pilsen this morning and grabbed a Maple Pancake Latte and an Iced Polar Bear Latte--total came to about $8. The Maple Pancake Latte was like a hug in a cup: sweet maple syrup, cozy cinnamon, and a buttery finish that made me feel like I was enjoying breakfast in a log cabin. The Iced Polar Bear Latte was a cool, creamy treat with a nice vanilla kick--perfect for sipping while I people-watched on their outdoor patio. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the vibe inside was warm and inviting. Already planning my next visit to try their other seasonal drinks. read more

Located in the basement of the rectory building. Lots of parking & seating are available on days that are not Sunday. Has a great selection of drinks for coffee & non-coffee drinkers. The horchata latte was not as sweet as I hoped it would be. Would go back to try other items on their menu. The service was great and very friendly. read more

My daughter states this is the best coffee in Chicago. She had the Horchata Iced Coffee and my other daughter had the Iced Pilar. Both were excellent. I had the Fire Chai Latte which was nice with a little spice and my wife had the Vanilla Chai Latte which was a bit sweeter. The place is cozy with a little bit of seating. The staff were pleasant. read more

Came across this cute coffee shop within St. Pauls Catholic Church and stopped by to check out their spring specials! Pictured is the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Iced Coffee. The entire drink was amazing, but the strawberry cold foam on top was the best part! Its a small cafe, but super cute inside, and the lady making our drinks was incredibly nice. Ill definitely be back to try some of their other drinks. Theres a parking lot, so parking is easy, but just note they dont offer much food if you're hoping for that with your latte. read more
