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! read more

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. read more

Oro Chocolate & Coffee - Cocoa in the clouds and a matcha horchata - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Here's a polished 5-star review you can copy/paste exactly as is: 5/5 Stars Oro in Wicker Park is an absolute gem! My BFF Kim and I stopped in for a traditional mocha and it was perfection -- rich, smooth, and so good it needed no sweetener. We even had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Ibi, who was incredibly warm and easy to chat with. The décor is beautiful, the vibe is cozy, and the warm lighting makes the whole space feel inviting. This is definitely going to be one of our new go-to spots near my Fulton Grace office. We will absolutely be back! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Nice place to hang out grab a coffee or hot chocolate! Great customer service, atmosphere, and decor

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. 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

Let's just start with i love this cafe. We've spent many weekends reading a good book or getting some work done here. The ambiance of feels a little space age-y, in a good way. Their speciality lattes are out of this world good! I've had so much fun trying their lattes, I haven't had their espresso straight which I need to remedy. They take a lot of care into perfecting their house made syrups and that really does come out in the flavor. One small nitpick is they don't have alternate cow milks (only whole milk). I've gotten the Eastern rose, the Demerara, especial vanilla and can't remember the name but one with balsamic glaze (sounds weird but was soooo perfectly balanced). They were all excellent, but the balsamic one was the most unique and by far my favorite (please bring it back!). Their lattes do change seasonally. Service has always been nice as well. The latte will put you back $6-8, but it's well worth it for a this well crafted cup. 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

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

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

What a lovely little coffee shop. The design and decor is impeccable. The staff and owner are very knowledgeable. I want to come and work here in a regular basis. But most importantly their espresso was perfect. Most coffee shops in Chicago have no idea how to make a good espresso. This was in the top 5 I have had in chicago and that's saying something. I have had an espresso at hundreds of places in the city and this one impressed. I didn't sample their food items but I did taste their in house made chocolate. I love that they had samples. When you have high quality expensive chocolate, it's helpful to be able to taste it before you buy it as everyone's taste palette is different. I'll be back. 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

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 visited Oro today with two friends. While they sampled some chocolate (but didn't end up buying anything), I asked for the bathroom code and was given it--no signs or staff indicated any restrictions. As I was leaving, a man who identified himself as the operations manager stopped me and said, "We don't have a public bathroom. I'm the operations manager--and don't you ever come back." The bathroom clearly was public, and I had asked for the code respectfully. It seems the issue was that I hadn't made a purchase. I understand if businesses prefer restrooms for paying customers, but that should be communicated kindly and upfront--not with hostility after the fact. The experience was needlessly aggressive and left a very negative impression. I won't be returning to Oro or recommending it. read more

Rolled up to Oro Chocolate & Coffee in Wicker Park Saturday morning and grabbed a cappuccino and one of their famed brownies. The cappuccino was top‑tier: creamy, with the espresso punch you expect from a legit roastery, and the vibe in there is somehow hip without all the posturing. That brownie was dense and chocolatey--like something I'd brag about to my friends. The staff was chill and friendly, didn't feel rushed even when it got busy, and the decor with the chocolate‑making setup behind glass is a cool flex. I'd come back easy for a hot chocolate or that turmeric‑spiced golden milk mocha next time. read more

I initially rated this as 5 stars, but I'm now reducing it to 3. They have a rule against outside food in the shop, which is unusual compared to other coffee shops in Wicker Park, though I can understand it. I was working there for over four hours and decided to quickly grab some Cava from nearby. After entering and sitting down, a staff member walked over to me and informed me that outside food isn't allowed. I apologized and asked if I should leave and eat outside (it was 30 degrees outside, but I was willing) or if it would be okay to finish my food inside quickly. If the employee had simply asked me to leave, I would have done so. Instead, he kept repeating that the sign says no food is allowed in a tone and then walked away without further comment. The interaction felt a bit rude and I wasn't sure if he went to speak to a manager or something, so I sat there with my bowl closed for about 5-6 minutes waiting. Then, I approached another staff member who said it was fine to finish my food inside since it was cold. I apologized several times during this encounter for not knowing about the rule and said it wouldn't happen again. I visit many coffee shops in Wicker Park, and this has never been an issue before. It would be difficult to work from this coffee shop for extended periods of time due to their rule of no outside food. read more

Oro Chocolate is always doing free samples of their products and today they were giving out free samples of their hot chocolate with oat milk. I will say I wasn't a big fan, but I like that they're always promoting their products to prospective customers. My boyfriend did stop in to get an iced americano coffee. He reported the coffee was really good and similar to coffee from Collectivo. Prices are pretty reasonable and comparable to any other local and franchise coffee shops. I really loved the ambiance and decor. I feel like a lot of coffee shops are hustling and bustling, but Oro was so quiet and chill. The whole place was also super neat and clean, which is always something I look out for. I tried some of their specialty chocolates and they weren't my thing, but overall super neat spot and I'd like to try one of their interesting pastries next time. read more
