Unfortunately we stopped in after lunch for a Cold Brew and Americano, so a bit too full to get any actual food or sweets. They had little samples and the chocolate was definitely good. I'll be back next time I'm in Wicker Park to pick something up. The inside was also very pretty, so a cute date spot for sure.
Love, love, love this all the way up! I don't live in wicker but I am seriously considering a weekly trek to get my fix. The atmosphere is amazing if you're looking for a quiet space with the best soft tunes you've ever heard. I only visited once but know this place already has my heart.
Great atmosphere, aesthetically pleasing interior great place to sit and drink your coffee. Servers are nice and helpful with any questions. Plus they periodically give out samples of their chocolate and coffee.
The cafe is so beautifully and thoughtfully built. All of their disposables are compostable and environmentally friendly. You can tell they really try to make unique, quality drinks. The thing that's missing is good matcha recipes. The barista talked up the matcha manzana (matcha, honeycrisp, granny smith, allspice), he said it was amazing and everyone loves it. I decided to give it a try, and it tasted like syrupy apple juice mixed with milk. I couldn't do it, it went in the bin. I hope someday I'll find something on their menu that is good, it's a cute shop!
Drinks and chocolate here are super good but the service was absolutely amazing - whoever is working the front giving samples and explaining the product is an absolute gem! I wish I was local to visit more but at least I got some really good granola for my trip back home. Thank you!!
The menu of drinks is abundant with chocolate flavored coffee. While they do have other drinks I wish they had more variety or non coffee drinks. The vegan cookie was great. Not too sweet and just the right amount of chocolate. The space is vibrant and many options to sit. The music is great not too loud. The service was great and very attentive. He was able to answer all of my questions about the chocolate with no hesitation.
Disappointed. I stopped by and got an iced matcha latte. It was more like matcha flavored milk. It is was too expensive for it to be this bad.
Pleasantly unique and has redefined what a mocha is supposed to taste like. Cozy seating and helpful staff.
Single batch chocolate and coffee? What more can one ask for in a Wicker Park storefront?? Their specialty mochas and lattes are luxuriously delicious. I'd recommend starting with their specialty mochas (goes without saying why here if all places). Both the El Oro and Aphrodisiac Mocha were delightful, but I love spice in my drinks so my heart was won over by the Aphrodisiac's slight kick. The double oat was a winner in my book too. Prices are in the high end but the quality matches. I can't wait to try more on their menu; including the seasonal matchas being advertised on their outdoor sandwich board. Let me tell you, the space is gorgeous. You'll be transported out of Wicker and sipping coffee in what feels like a contemporary Latam coffee start up. There are beautiful rocking chairs, sunlight streaming in from the large back windows, and ample round side tables to be comfy anywhere. It's never been overly crowded when I stopped in so Oro has definitely made it's way to the top of my local coffee shop list for casual catch ups or a quick work session. Lovely to have the in neighborhood. Friends can expect to be getting their chocolate / coffee for upcoming gifts. Definitely worth a visit!
Updating my review. This neighborhood coffee shop is one of my faves. The people who work here are all so friendly and helpful, esp Galen. The interior is still very cool, while also comfy. I do secretly hope they do some Xmas decor for the holidays hehee I got a quiche for the first time and it was very tasty. The matcha manzana has been my literal obsession for the last few weeks. Some of their drinks are seasonal, including this one, so get your matcha manzana while you can! There's pay to park street parking outside.
The horchata matcha latte is amazing here and the inside is so cute!! It's a little expensive but the quality of the matcha was great. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and earthiness.
Coming from a true coffee connoisseur, this place is magic and otherworldly! The iced honey thyme latte is the most delicious drink that is somehow nutty, salty, sweet and fresh all at once. The gluten free milk chocolate brownie was great - almost carrot cake like in texture and taste. We threw in a toasted pandan marshmallow just for fun - I was skeptical but omg. It tasted like sunshine. I would come back here a hundred times.
Got the midnight sugar latte and hot chocolate which were both pretty good. My boyfriend said the hot chocolate isn't like any hot chocolate he's ever had before. However, the midnight sugar latte does taste like other sweet lattes I've had before. Still good though. Prices are a bit high but kinda understandable since they make their own ingredients. Ambiance is excellent too! They have these a lot of exotic-looking chairs and tables.

Have been here twice now, and each time, blown away by the high quality of the tea and coffee. The best drink on the menu is the mix of oolong and pour over coffee with demerara syrup. The cacao tea is worth trying, we bought a bag to take home and have enjoyed it on its own or in coffee. read more

The honey thyme latte was a standout and somehow tasted like an orange creamsicle in the best way. The blueberry matcha was also really good and super unique. The space is open and inviting, and the baristas are very knowledgeable about the coffee and happy to help with recommendations. The drinks are definitely on the pricier side, but the creative flavors make it a fun spot to visit. read more
A lot of unique drink options. They have chocolate samplers which are always fun to try. Their sitting Includes rocking chairs which make it a perfect spot to read a book or hang with friends. Staff is super nice even though sometimes they take a while to make drinks. A lot of sitting for working and charging devices. It feels very clean and its decorated very intentionally. Love it here read more

Popped over to Oro's before a flight for a quick green juice and set of chocolate bars for a friend. Tanner and Galen made the experience a wonderful one! Knowledge about the products on-site, and providing us with great history, origin of sourcing, beans roasted onsite and going through extra mile with helping us secure a package for a friend. Thanks for the wonderful experience! read more

I'm not a coffee aficionado by any means but I feel like the coffee here is really balanced, and not astringent or unpleasantly bitter. I also love that they have creative and unique drinks. Today I tried the seasonal caramel corn latte which was sweet and smooth (how I like my coffee). The corn flavour wasn't very identifiable, for better or for worse, so it was like an improved version of a caramel latte. Also had the cacao cappuccino, which was fine but would try something else next time. Was just a bit too plain and also doesn't have caffeine, if that's what you're looking for. The rocking chairs in the space are a fun touch and there was a mix of people hanging out and doing some work on their laptops. read more

Oro is a great spot to treat yourself to a high quality latte. It is pricey, but the vanilla latte I ordered is easily the best latte I've had in recent memory. The shop has an interesting vibe, with lots of blonde wood, swirling lights, and diverse seating options , from benches with small tables to a long bar with stools to rocking chairs. It is modern, but warm. When I arrived, I was greeted by a very happy, friendly staff member who offered to answer any questions I had. After asking about the sweetness level of their special lattes, I settled on their vanilla especial, flavored with a house-made vanilla syrup from the real thing. It was fantastic! The espresso was smooth and rich, and the vanilla flavor very natural. When I finished it, I even noticed little spots of vanilla in the cup. This place is expensive, no doubt. I paid $6 before tax for my small latte. But I wouldn't hesitate to come back for a treat day, and I thought the high quality of my drink was definitely worth it. read more

There's something really special about Oro coffee bar. From the modern yet cozy furnishing and ambiance to the VERY high quality coffee this place is set to be a classic. The staff is super knowledgeable about the chocolate, teas, coffee, and pastry, and matcha offerings. The pastries are certainly a highlight. Not only are they super delicious but they're made in house. What's not to love about that? read more

Oro Chocolate and Coffee offers a winning selection of matcha, coffee and teas. I was excited to try a handful of items, to which neither disappoints! I tried their Eastern Rose Latte and Matcha-Chachio. I absolutely loved both drinks as well as their pistachios finacier. Eastern Rose Latte is a floral symphony of Pakistani Rooh Afza, Lebanese rosewater, and cherry syrup harmonized with our espresso and creamy milk. Matcha-chachio describes as a luxurious layered experience with creamy horchata and house-made pistachio paste embracing premium matcha for a multi-dimensional indulgence. I'd say this description is quite apt for this cold beverage. A decorded matcha tea drink. Let's talk about the interior design. This space is beautiful and modern-- a cohesive aquatic movement of gold guilded slats run from one wall, up past the ceiling to the other side of the wall. What I also really liked about this coffee shop is that each individual seating has a trio electric outlet: USB-C, USB-A and the US plug. Very attentive to detail for their consumers. I highly recommend those who are craving either chocolates or caffeine to drop on by! read more

Update, I went for the hot chocolate and can say it's some of the best in Chicago. Recently I've had the hot chocolate at Mindy's (great ) and Ipsento (awful ). Oro is creamy, sweet, rich. Lovely texture and flavor. I usually do not go for alternative milks but the oat milk was a great option for this. As always, staff are friendly and prepare your drinks with attention to quality. The one thing about this store is that it can feel a bit off... I love the abundant seating but the vibe may be a bit too trendy or lacking personality for a coffee shop. Let me know what you all think. read more

If you're in Wicker Park and love quality coffee, Oro Chocolate & Coffee is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back! read more

Oro Chocolate and Coffee is one of those cafés where you immediately notice the craftsmanship. Walk in, glance to your left, and you might catch them making chocolate from scratch--it sets the tone right away. The space is clean and modern with a sleek design, and there's plenty of seating to get comfortable. It's also unusually quiet compared to a lot of Chicago cafés, which makes it a hidden gem for studying or long reading sessions. What makes it stand out is the cacao sampling--you can actually taste the quality before diving into drinks or treats. It's a nice touch that shows how much pride they put into their products. Bonus: the location is surrounded by food spots and thrift shops, so you can easily make a whole afternoon of it. read more

Had to come back again and try the pistachio horchata matcha. Knowing they really nailed the mango matcha I just assumed this drink would also be spectacular and no expectations were fallen short of. You get a punch of matcha along with a horchata and pistachio flavor that all somehow shine through. Will continue to recommend this place to all matcha lovers read more

Super cute space and the chocolate is made in house which is great! They also sell chocolate bars in store and have little samples for people to try their chocolate. However I hate that there are no prices listed anywhere. I paid about $10 for an oat milk mocha which had I known the price may have gotten something else. Also was super disappointed to find out their golden milk drinking chocolate has dairy. The first time I came I asked the barista if the drinking chocolates had any dairy and was told no because they aren't mixed with milk but the next time I came in was told the golden milk one actually does have dairy. As somebody who is vegan I am super upset that I drank dairy here the first time I came. There should be clear markings about what contains dairy on the menu for those with dietary restrictions or at least clear things for the baristas to be able to know when people ask. read more

I was disappointed after ordering the matcha latte here. I saw so many good reviews about it, but I was disappointed when I received it. The matcha latte tasted like straight up milk. No matcha flavor at all period. Not to mention, it was very pricey for a latte that has 90% milk. However the customer service was very nice so I'll give points for that. Wouldn't come here for matcha, you might be better off ordering a coffee. Also the seating is nice, recommend as a study spot. read more
