    Latte

    Great coffee at a great coffee shop! Love the staff - they're quite helpful in explaining the different types of coffee offered and are quite accommodating with preferences.

    A quaint coffee shop by the train station. I came here to work and it had everything I needed- ample seating, good coffee, fast wifi, and music that isn't annoying. The bartenders were also very quick and seemed nice. Would work here again :-)

    Big name from NYC. Cool and friendly baristas but unfortunately we were a bit disappointed in the latte that we got. Smooth and warm and finished beautifully. It's just the medium-roast tasted like dark-roast which could be due to over-extracted from settings and other different reasons. We will be back next time to try it again.

    Great coffee, friendly service, sunny space and lots of seating. What else would you want in a local coffee shop?

    Love this location of La Colombe! There's a pretty decent amount of seating inside and I've never had an issue finding a seat during the week. Sometimes it can be kind of loud if the door isn't all the way shut since it's right under the train. Most important part of this review: get the oat draft latte, the vanilla oat draft latte, or the oat black & tan!

    Cold brew and oat milk draft latte
    Paige D.

    Very smooth cold brew in convenient location near Damen stop. Got a tap water as well and enjoyed the fact that they had both tap and sparkling options for free. Would definitely go back.

    Draft Latte-so creamy!
    Janelle G.

    Walking around wicker park and decided to get an iced coffee. After reading the reviews I decided on the latte draft. It was really good. Very creamy. Great choice. The inside is nice. If you want a cold latte try it.

    Iced chai tea latte

    The cafe is on smaller size with not many outlets, but service was quick and a good place for a catch up with friends. I ordered the iced chai tea latte and it was good, but not as sweet as other places. Definitely had more of a kick of the chai spice in it than other cafes.

    Next to a stop (CTA) and right next to Stan's. No wifi, mediocre service, okay coffee. They do charge you for dine-in, since you'll be using one of those nice porcelain cups. Drip coffee of the day tasted like Starbucks, and was luke warm. Nice ambiance but not coming back for this!

It also didn't hurt that their military matcha packs a punch. The espresso matcha combination was much smoother than I anticipated. I'd be lying if i didn't admit that I was questioning that this was a trending drink in the reviews but I was wrong, dear reader. The combination somehow worked and it's pretty at the same time.

Their military latte is their iconic drink, so if I'm ever back in Chicago, it'll definitely be something I'll check out! FOOD They have a limited selection of pastries like donuts available for purchase. Selection was limited near the end of the day. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! It gets busy fast, but they are efficient in pumping out orders. AMBIANCE Ample seating is available inside the store that is shared with the BBQ place adjoining the coffee spot. I visited around 2:30pm and it was filled with people working/studying or meeting with friends/coworkers. Complimentary wi-fi is available (password on the menu board). Finding the entrance was a bit confusing despite all the signs, but it's the one with a lot of stickers! PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. BATHROOMS Restrooms are available downstairs at the back of the establishment.

The decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

Luckily when I got there it wasn't too crazy, but the line was just at the door. This place was packed inside and it felt a bit overwhelming. There are kiosks to place your order which is smart so the employees can focus on making drinks due to the large volume of traffic. Luckily it only took about 3 min for me to place my order. It was easy to do. I've heard about the infamous mango matcha latte so that is what I ordered. There's an area to wait for your drinks and they even have seating. I was able to snag a spot and people watch. 1 thing about this place is the people who come in here sure do dress nice so I'm glad i put myself together somewhat instead of coming in my pj's. I think people are in and out typically because of how crowded it is. It would be nice to enjoy the ambiance if there were more room. It is a nice vibe inside. After maybe 7 minutes of waiting my name was called according to my drink order. Once I left, the line was out the door. So the question is does the mango matcha latte live up to its name? It most certainly does! The drink is really good. Totally understand the hype. Thank you Gathers for making my drink and managing the foot traffic so well on the day to day.

A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.
