    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!

    Breve Vanilla Latte

    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.

    Wonderful coffee shop located along the side of St Paul's Catholic Church. Community vibes with great service. Small menu hitting all the highlights at this local spot Pro Tip: entrance located along side of the building. If you didn't know you could walk right by!!

    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!

    Service was nice and friendly! My friend and I decided to check this place out after work and tried their Valentines menu. We got Red Velvet and Berries N' Cream. I recommend getting the Berries N' Cream it tastes like a pink starburst and we enjoyed the little cookie on top. Also this is located in the basement of the church. Entrance is by the parking lot.

    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.

    Small chapel just thru a door

    Most easily Missed Coffee spot in the city , but you can't beat the location, inside a Church dating back to 1876, if you wander around and go through one of the doors inside the cafe, you'll see a beautiful area with amazing stain glass , The staff is so friendly and quick to strike up conversation, and their signature drinks are extremely creative ,They also boast some serious tea creations , A must stop for any coffee house enthusiast!

    Maple Pancake Latte

    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.

    Holy mackerel, this place is ADORABLE! This very quaint and unassuming coffee shop in the basement of the historic St. Paul's in Pilsen has such a cozy atmosphere. There's signs all around with community events that just warmed my heart. Service was very good, and you definitely get a good bang for your buck here. I'll be back!

    A fun find in the neighborhood. Solid coffee, friendly service, tables to study in the coffee shop and pews in the small chapel next door.

    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.

    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.

    I . Was in Chicago…read morefor the weekend. Prior to arriving I read an article about the top 100 coffee shops in the world. ( see link below ). While reading I saw that Metric in Chicago was on the list. And that was the sign this place had to be a must try! Came here on a Saturday morning. I walked a few miles from downtown to the neighborhood this place is in. It is in an industrial part town of area. Kind of reminds me of the west bank of the flats area or temont type of area we have in Cleveland. The shop itself is not very big. However the coffee, is absolutely incredible. While there I met Cara . She was so friendly and knowledgeable. I mentioned that the reason for making the walk to this place was to see how it measured with award of top 100 shop. From there I got my espresso. Amazing. Just amazing! Cara also took the time explain the cupping process. And how Metric gets their beans. The educational experience for a coffee nerd like myself was . And then getting a chance to do the cupping was icing on the cake!!! I'm very glad that I got to experience this gem of a shop. I truly understand why it's top . When in Chicago, for any coffee lover/nerd. Come here. I promise you will love it!!! https://theworlds100bestcoffeeshops.com/locales/metric/

    My wife and sister probably think I am absolutely crazy but every time we visit my sister (and when…read moreI lived there), this was my favorite breakfast spot before work. They have the best morning bagels I have ever had! Sure, I could put cream cheese, onion, tomato and cucumber on one at home but it is NOT the same! I have tried! Whatever they do to make their bagels is so much better than the store bought ones I can find. Not to mention that I love their scones! I might sound like I have a food problem but I love their morning bagels with a blueberry scone for later and top it all off with a vanilla latte. The service is always pretty quick, the staff is very friendly and if you eat there they play pretty good music. There are only like 6 seats inside but they also have an outdoor area too for summer.

They even welcomed it because they said they want to grow from it. I always come in for a cafe con leche with a jalapeño bagel with extra cream cheese! Sometimes I mix it up and get a morning bagel in a jalapeño bagel and it is so delicious. I just love the taste of the cream cheese with tomato and cucumber. Their soup is also so good. Today I got their turkey melt and broccoli soup and I loved it. The sandwich is huge and the soup is nice and thick. The veggies in the sandwich are so fresh too. They usually have a line out the door but they move through it pretty quickly.

    Ordered from Froth Cafe thinking it'd be a normal coffee situation... it was not. It was better…read more The dalgona latte showed up with massive chunks of toffee--like, not decorative, not subtle... full-on "we believe in happiness" pieces. Every sip felt like a reward for simply existing. Also tried something called "False Spring," which has carrot juice in it (I know, I had questions too). But somehow it works! It's fresh, a little sweet, and makes you feel like you've made a good life decision--even if you're just ordering coffee in pajamas. Everything arrived perfectly and tasted like someone actually cared while making it. 10/10, would absolutely order again and pretend I'm a sophisticated person with a refined palate.

I let her pick the…read morespot and I didn't do much research prior, so when I walked through the front door my jaw was on the floor. The place is stunning! It reminds me of a hotel lobby in the best way. Very open and spacious, with lots of tables and desks spread out throughout the space. The barista working helped me decide what to order. She said "iced coffee is a lifestyle" and because she was so cool I did end up ordering an iced beverage on a 10 degree day in February. I went with the dalgona iced latte. This is espresso with a housemade crumbled Korean toffee and milk. It's pretty sweet, but mighty tasty! The toffee melts into the drink to add a toasty sweetness to the latte. The food here is INCREDIBLE! I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so good. It came with crispy potatoes that were amazing too. Cannot wait to come back and explore more of the menu!
