    Really cute place! Good for studying. Staff were very friendly and quick with fulfilling the orders. The drinks were yummy but not enough options for savory pastries. :(

    I'm in a bit of a quandary: on one hand I can tell the cafe uses high quality ingredients and I love that they make their own syrups. I've also tried counter culture beans and they're very good. Each ingredient shines through and they accommodate requests but even with an extra esspresso shot, the drinks we received were a little too light for our taste. The ambiance and hospitality is where this cafe truly shines. It's beautiful and open and perfect for catching up with a friend. It's absolutely gorgeous inside! Perfect for catching up with a friend and maybe trying one of their tonics!

    They host a (I think monthly) book club

    Well, this is dangerous: the drinks are delicious, the space is beautiful and inviting, AND it's in my neighborhood. Spotted the coffeehouse driving by on a Sunday (open until early evening), and decided to stop by. The offer your standard drinks, coffee and tea based, and have specials. I got an iced tumeric ginger latte, Haldi Doodh, that was pretty good and reasonably priced. It looks like they also serve pastries, but they were limited late in the day. Lastly, they have community events such as yoga and book club - more info about events are online, and sparsely posted throughout the coffeehouse. I'm just excited that there's a good coffeehouse nearby, with easy street parking, that has a large variety of coffee and tea drinks (especially matcha)!

    Visited my friends on a whim and they were stoked bc it aligned perfectly with the opening of a brand new coffee shop - and what a killer spot it was! This place is beautiful on the inside - super modern, clean, and cute decor. The kind of coffeeshop I could post up at all day and get work done. My go-to order of black coffee is nothing terribly exciting but I like tasting the flagship item at coffeeshops - gotta know how good their basics are - and I really appreciated the subtle add of a shortbread cookie to go with. Grab yourself a cozy spot, dip the cookie in your coffee, and vibe at this awesome new spot - well worth a visit and a great addition to Bronzeville for my friends!

    The decor is gorgeous. It's very serene and the playlist was on point. I had the girsol latte, which was nutty with a hint of sweetness. I really enjoyed it. The staff were patient and kind, as this was my first visit. I would definitely come back when I'm in town.

    Opening weekend was April 12, 2025 and I decided to weight for all of the fan fair to die down about to have my first experience at Lvl up. It's been cool to follow the owners on IG as they documented their experience through opening day and I will say it was worth the weight. I love that the space is pretty spacious with a variety of seating options. They shared with me that there are multiple options to plug in electronics. If you are looking for a place to drink coffee and get work done, which I love. The masala iced chai was delicious and they offer a variety of milk options at no extra cost, including almond milk. The raspberry pastry was flaky and fresh. I did give the suggestion of getting an almond croissant as the cashier said that the owners were taking menu suggestions. Not sure if they will be adding other light food options but for now you have a solid selection of pastries and donuts. I would definitely love that. I will definitely be back! Everyone was warm and inviting and my wait time went pretty quick. I also loved the design of the cups, very modern with the logo on the front. I love this new addition to the neighborhood.

    Love this coffee shop, a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Welcoming hub for connection, and great coffee/tea.

    L. Dorado latte and Girasol latte

    This is the best coffee in chicago!! Carefully curated drinks, beautiful latte art, amazing customer service, and such a cute atmosphere! Perfect place to stop for a quick coffee or have a sit down with friends or do some work! Definitely a must if you're in the area.
