Super packed, expected to wait for a little bit. They are pretty efficient and fast pace tho so it's moving fast The seasalt cream and strawberry matcha are so good!!!! The music is amazing, I love their mix playlist.

Very fun concept for a pop up bar. It's located within a furniture store with great lightning and space but limited seating. We got the matcha strawberry and the matcha coke. Would definitely not recommend the matcha coke drink and the strawberry was way too strong, could barely taste the matcha. Service was great though!

Minimalist, open, and bright interior. A focused matcha menu. Efficient setup. Friendly people. Strong matcha. Basically all the things I love about a place like this. Bonus: they were playing my favorite Asian YouTube travel vloggers who have truly been to hundreds of matcha shops in Japan, which to me proves they're not one of those fast, overly sweet matcha spots. The only small thing I think could be improved is the cream top. It felt more like whipped cream, and I would have preferred something a little smoother and more pourable. Overall, we'll definitely be back.

I ordered the "Sea Salt Matcha Double Cream - Ceremonial-grade matcha (~4.5g) blended with choice of milk (oat and whole) topped with rich double cream and a touch of sea salt". Legit matcha spot that stands above the recent new matcha/tea places. I love the small menu (hope they keep it that way) and so much standing space they can add a few tables in addition to the cool stadium seating. Truly one of the best matcha spots in the city right now. No issues with service and staff were friendly.

This is amazing! Sea Salt Matcha Double Cream is so creamy smooth. The perfect amount of sweetness and the matcha is amazing. I was wired up. Glad I got it at 8 am to get my day started and started for work Located in west town, you'll find street parking in front Their interior is giving minimalist LA chic vibes. Limited seatings and a lot of open space for standing Every cup is made to order so be patient with them as they whisk up a perfect matcha cup. Even arriving at 8:15 there were already a few guest before me. It's good and bad I live 12 min away. I did get oat milk which the cup ended up being $10 but in comparison to other matcha cups, this was pretty large.

I went to match a popup near Chinatown. I got the matcha cola, pure matcha and the matcha latte. I would say the matcha was smooth but nothing outstanding. The matcha latte tasted the best out the three. I would recommend having them add more sugar into the drink. The service was quite quick considering it is a pop up. I also liked watching them hand whisk the matcha in front of you!

Really good matcha. The service is efficient. I think since they are new, there's no space to dine-in. they have these signature cups which are so cute! Can't wait to come back!!

Definitely a good matcha spot. Not too many seating inside but the area is cute. Not sure if it was because I went late, but the wait was not long so that was a plus. The only thing I have to say is that it made me go to the bathroom and I'm not lactose intolerant...

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and I waited an hour due to the long lines and their reopening hours at 1:30pm. But once they opened, the line went by pretty quick. I'm impressed by how fast they make the drinks and have their quality still be good! Everyone ordered through a machine. There's two of them. And then you just wait for your order to be called! Quick and easy for their delicious drinks. Make sure to tip the hard working staff!

Iced Matcha Latte!

First ever hand wisked matcha cafe that I know of in Chicago. Super friendly staff, and freshly wisking Japanese Matcha to order. Gotta try the Iced Matcha Latte with Strawberry. Staff says more to come as they are just soft opening. Can buy incense and also your own matcha wisking tools! Can't wait to come back and try another version of matcha! A must try if you enjoy Matcha

The spot has plenty of picnic style seating and great music to catch up with friends, grab a drink, or a slice of pizza! I typically go there for coffee. Their cold brew and lattes are fantastic!

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.

I had a really good experience at 3 Arts. I wasn't able to get a reservation for Sunday brunch, so…read morewe made sure to arrive before opening. There was already a small line of guests with the same idea, but we were able to get on the waitlist. While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't aware of that, and it also wasn't asked by the hostess. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and moved us to a table in the wine cellar. The wine cellar had a completely different vibe, dark and moody, compared to the bright, airy courtyard with its beautiful glass ceiling and natural light. We ordered the lobster roll and the RH Burger, both with fries. The food came out fairly quickly and was well-presented. The lobster roll was served on a buttery brioche with just the right amount of seasoning, and the burger was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.

Was alright. I've been on a mission to stop at RH cafe whenever there is one on my trip. This one…read morewas underwhelming. We waited nearly 30 minutes after arriving for our reservation, service was fine but generic, and food seemed overpriced and smaller than years past. Wouldn't recommend compared to others.

The menu is quite expansive, with a surprisingly large number of seasonal drinks, sweets are huge and cover everything from braids to breads to croissants, brownies, scones, and more! All the different flavors are covered from chocolate to pistachio to tiramisu, to fruits. Similarly on the menu everything from sandwiches to salads are covered for food -- and everything from lattes to matchas to smoothies to lemonade are covered for drinks! The sheer number of options alone makes this a fantastic spot to take friends, as all the different food and drink needs can be met by the same spot. Also important is how nice this spot is decorated. The look is very clean and modern, yet there are just enough paintings, foliage, and other decor items matched with premium looking seating to give visitors an upscale cafe feeling -- with fast and friendly service, but without high prices. Overall worth a visit if you're a cafe lover, or something looking to try to Palestinian food and drink options, on top of a full menu of all your favorites.

What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10
