It's pretty small on the inside and super busy (at least when I visited!) so keep that in mind. The staff is so friendly! I decided to get a half sweet vanilla latte (iced) and a lemon blueberry scone. My coffee was solid (not mind blowing but not by any means bad -- pretty middle of the road). The scone though!! This scone was so freaking yummy. The tangy lemon icing balanced the blueberry flavors perfectly. I grabbed a seat on the patio to enjoy my coffee and scone and get some work done. The wifi worked great. I had multiple calls with no issues. I can't wait to come back to explore more coffee options and give the wines ago!

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.

As we made our way up to order at the inside counter, I realized that the outside menu had been outdated and we had to choose completely different drinks. I went with the El Platform, and my husband had the False Spring ($7.50 each). We also got a Feta Tortilla ($13.65) that was tasty. It's nice and spacious inside with outside tables as well. I love the idea of Frothtails, and I hope they bring back the Royale with Cheese so I can try it!

I've never had a frozen matcha and this seemed like the perfect summery treat. I'll try it with strawberry next time.

I liked how much space they had -- there were plenty of tables and seating, so it was great for getting some work done! They also had Internet and outlets. The employees were nice and efficient with getting my order. I went with the Matcha Cloud, which is basically a frozen matcha with cold foam. Unfortunately, I didn't like my drink as much as I wanted to. I felt like the iciness made the cream feel oily, and the crunchy texture was odd. The matcha taste was also not very strong, and it was very sweet. I ended up tossing out most of my drink. I think the cafe itself is great, but I definitely would want to try something else in the future. Definitely still recommend checking them out though!

It was exactly what I needed after a long walk. The fruits in it paired so well together, and the ginger had just the most subtle flavor that added a lot. We went here around 5:30 on a Saturday and they close at 6, so it was pretty empty. That being said service was super quick! My only complaint....$10 juice? I mean it was delicious. Really good. But $10? For juice? Didn't try any of the food, but I definitely would next time!

They encouraged me to come back the following week at a better time for the croissants, and I took their advice. It was well worth it.

The space itself is small and quaint, which adds to its charm. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you get the chance.

Lucky Cat is a modern café that blends specialty coffee, matcha, and creative latte flavors into a…read moremenu that feels more experimental than a typical coffee shop. We walked into a clean, contemporary space with an Asian-inspired influence, creating a relaxed atmosphere that works well for stopping by for a drink, catching up with friends, or taking a break from the neighborhood. The design is thoughtful without being overly fussy, with enough seating to accommodate both quick stops and longer visits. The drink menu is where Lucky Cat stands out, especially with its specialty lattes that incorporate unique flavors. The Miso Maple Latte is one of the more interesting options, combining a subtle savory note from the miso with a sweeter maple flavor that makes the drink feel different without becoming overwhelming. Their matcha also stands out for having a smooth, vibrant profile with a good balance between the tea flavor and added flavors. The Miso Maple Matcha with coconut cold foam and macadamia milk is a strong choice if you want something that still lets the matcha come through while adding extra layers of flavor. The Sweet Bloom Matcha Latte brings in wildflower honey and osmanthus for a more delicate floral direction, while the hojicha latte offers a deeper roasted flavor. Each drink feels intentional, with the flavor combinations working together rather than competing. The café also puts effort into its food and smaller menu items, with options like breakfast sandwiches and sesame chia pudding adding more variety beyond drinks. The breakfast sandwich combines savory flavors with a touch of sweetness and spice, making it a good pairing with one of their lattes. The sesame chia pudding is a lighter option that fits the café's overall approach to thoughtful, balanced menu items. The food selection is not extensive, but what is available complements the drink menu well. Service is efficient and the baristas help keep the experience smooth even when the café gets busy. They are knowledgeable about the menu and willing to explain the more unusual flavor combinations, which is helpful given the range of creative options. The combination of thoughtful drinks, creative flavor combinations, and a well-designed space makes Lucky Cat feel like more than just a quick coffee stop. It is a good place to visit when you want a specialty drink that feels carefully crafted rather than a standard latte or matcha.

It's near Hotel Lincoln, Lincoln Park Zoo, where Wells and Clark meet. On a weekday late morning, there were a fair amount of people there. There was plenty of seating and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. They have a good variety of specialty drinks as well as other food and drink items. There was one barista working, so I want to be consciousness of how that impacted the experience. The wait time to order was very slow and there was no one ahead of me. Seemed to be a generally slow-going process in making drinks in general. I purchased the poppyseed muffin and an iced latte. The muffin was "ok." It didn't have a particular flavor or taste. The latte was really good. I think their coffee game is on point. Next time I go, I may try some other bakery or food items. I will definitely be back for some coffee. (Also, prices were reasonable and the cafe itself is clean and well-kept.)

Simple but done well which I always appreciate especially when traveling or just stopping in for something light. The coffee menu is solid and pairs well with the food offerings. What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. It has a cozy welcoming neighborhood feel that makes you want to sit and stay awhile rather than rush out. I also love that they sometimes have live music which adds a special touch and gives the space even more character without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and the overall vibe felt relaxed and inviting. It is a great spot to meet a friend enjoy a casual bite or just take a moment to slow down. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable cafe with good food and a warm atmosphere.
