Hashtag passionately crafted flavorful refreshments with heart and coffee emojis. But make that: #OromoCafe You'll smile when you walk in. You'll smile over your first sip. Then you'll smile when you realize how much better you feel having an Iced down Pistacchio Rose Latte. Or did you go with the Hazelnut Horchata? Either way, it really complements the top you have on. People should know where they can get that extra spring in their step. This is the place... Stella already got her groove back. Check it out. #CultureConscious read more

Golden mylk latte is just amazing. Cant wait to try some of the other drinks. Love. Love. Love.

Probably the best latte I've ever had: The rose, pistachio latte - HEAVEN, worth every penny (it's TEN bucks)

Great coffee and vibe! Wish they had a little better seating, but otherwise great! Nice place to study!

Beautiful place, cozy, excellent coffee and incredible sandwiches. Service is just amazing. read more

Oromo Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

came here to catch up w a friend one afternoon. they have so many vegan drinks and treats that are very unique. i got the horchata drink and an almond cookie that was delightful. i recommend this cute spot! read more

Awesome coffee, great pastries friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, what else do you need? :) love this spot!

This coffee makes me want to burn down every Starbucks that exists. Oromo is 20 minutes from my house and I would drink it everyday if I could. Only been here twice but each time I had to double fist because I can't drink just one cup! The Horchata Latte and Iced Masala Chai are my FAVES! And the service is pretty rad too! read more

Came here for a short business meeting. LOVE the ambiance. Service was great and the drink menu is unique (and tasty). It was pretty busy at the time, but the cafe's owner was kind enough to serve us personally. I had the Korean Ginger + Honey Tea. Shockingly good (especially during winter in Chi). He also mentioned that the food menu would be expanding soon, so there's something to look forward to! Would recommend to anyone/everyone for any reason. read more

An excellent addition to the Lincoln Square neighborhood! We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by to get caffeinated and we absolutely loved it! They serve awesome medium roast beans and have the most extensive selection of specialty drinks like pistachio and rose latte (I got this one and LOVED it!) they also have 4 different types of nut milks - pecan, almond, pistachio and hazelnut - how amazing is that?!? They make them all in house and they also make their desserts in house as well - all vegan without any added sugar (they use coconut sugar). Crossing fingers they will come up with a light fare vegan food menu soon! The ambience is stellar - very modern/minimalist decor and a bright space with plenty of sunlight through floor to ceiling windows. If I lived in this neighborhood I would be going there every day - it's perfect whether you're working from home and need a change of scenery or you just want to hang out and enjoy a hazelnut horchata latte! Highly recommend - it is worth a drive too, we hailed all the way from South Loop! ;) read more

See all

This is my favorite coffee shop I've been to. The coffee is delicious and the first refill is free. Highly recommend trying the blended drinks I get one every time. The pistachio milk in them is legendary read more

Oromo is fine. Nothing extraordinary as far as coffee houses go BUT they charge much more. A medium latte is nearly $5 before tax. Its crazy how expensive they are. Other nearby places are more than a buck less per coffee. This place is gouging! read more

Love this place. Really complex and interesting coffee drinks (craft coffee?). Love that they have so many nut milks. Never had Turkish coffee until now, and turns out I really like it a lot. Food wise, it's limited to few baked goods, but the items I've tried are tasty. Staff is really nice. Drinks made in a timely manner. It is rather pricey in comparison to other shops, even Starbucks, but I'm pretty much addicted to that horchata latte. read more

I loved this new place. Location, decoration and the food is really good. Also the personnel are very kind and friendly. Turkish coffee is served as it is served in Turkiye, it comes with Turkish cups and Turkish delight aka Lokum. And poğaça tastes like homemade poğaça. Both Turkish coffee and poğaça are approved by a Turkish person. Definitely going there again! read more

So after reading one of the top reviews, I was convinced that pistachio and rose was actually a legitimate and desirable combination at this place. I've been into floral flavors in my drinks lately so I wanted to give it a try. With fifteen minutes to spare, I called the place and ordered for pick up - three pistachio rose chai lattes. I showed up, paid for it, and was in my way. I opened it up and saw the rose petals so I'm like awesome, it has to taste good. After trying it, I almost threw up. It was the worst combination ever. The pistachio was more pistachio than the nut itself. It was viscous, salty, and awful lol. The rose did not compliment it either. I will say it was mainly my fault for ordering that combination. But what id expect from a place like this is to make suggestions and/or give tips about menu items. As a barista, if you know things don't compliment each other, let stupid people like myself know lol. So I want to take off one star for that. I'll definitely give this place a second chance and then I'll adjust my rating. read more

Great choices for people with dietary restrictions! All organic, and all nut milks made in house! Offers golden milk, with shot of expresso, and tumeric tea! read more

I love Oromo Cafe. It's one of my favorite places to do schoolwork. The atmosphere is inviting and the music is awesome. They also have these superfood bars and truffles that are divine! So happy Oromo is in Lincoln Square! read more

One of my favorite places for delicious coffee and yummy desert. Every single time I come in, it is the same great service and delicious food. Moreover the ambiance is very unique and trendy. I especially love the gluten free options. If you haven't visited Oromo, you should! read more

What a gourmet experience! The food was prepared fresh in house. The power bars, brownies, pies, cookies..Try one of their signature power snack "fig ball" with a house made "pistachio milk latte". They serve all natural and organic stuff. Everything was delicious. Very clean and fantastic place. Satisfy your taste buds with no regrets. read more

One of the coolest coffee shops in Chicago ! It sells craft coffee, desserts, and light food that is all homemade and super healthy BUT delicious- you don't even feel bad about eating here when on a diet. The inside is modern but cozy. You can tell by how precisely picked and designed everything is, that the owners truly built this place down to the finishes in the bathroom with their heart and soul. All the dishes and cups have the coolest designs on them and I low key want to take them for my own house lol. PLUS not only does the menu have something for everyone, it's all explained visibly and the baristas are super friendly and approachable if you have any questions. They also give back to the community while educating and bringing attention to the Oromo culture. If you're in the area (or even if you're not), make sure to check this place out- it's 10000% worth it. read more

Good atmosphere, tasty coffee. Took a little bit to get our drinks (I had a Vietnamese iced coffee and my friend got some blended hazelnut coffee thinger) but I think that's to be expected in a brand-spankin'-new place. So happy it's finally open, I'm looking forward to more coffees on my trips around Lincoln Square. read more

First the Cubano Coconut was amazing. It was very smooth, lacked the harshness that so many Cubanos can posses but was not sweet. The ambiance is very inviting and open. The drink menu looks amazing with even a horchata latte. My only negative review is it lacks food, there was only two pastries present. I definitely would recommend this place to others. read more

I had high expectations for Oromo Cafe but found the drinks to be quite underwhelming (ordered the Pistachio + Rose latte). Also despite ordering my drink to drink at the cafe, it was served in a to-go cup which was a bit odd. read more

My new favorite coffee shop! Great lattes and iced cold brew. Plenty of outlets and tables for working. Fast wifi. Friendly staff. The decor is beautiful as well. Overall, Oromo is a really pleasant place to hang out or work! Wonderful addition to Lincoln Square. read more

Hazelnut Horchata Latte, thanks for the recommendation. The most difficult drink concoction to make. Delicious hot drink on a warm Sunday afternoon!. Excellent and exotic! read more

staff is lovely and coffee on point! still thinking about those savory pastries!! omg.

Probably the worst matcha in the city. I would not recommend. They used culinary matcha rather than ceremonial grade. Didn't want to serve us even though we came in over 45 minutes before closing. I really wanted to like them because of all their great reviews, and I've tried their coffee which is pretty good. However, not work $6 matcha. read more

The Turmeric Milk is medicine to my body. I was adding Tumeric and pepper to my tea everyday, it was horrible tasting, but I was always in pain from my arthritis and willing to try anything natural. I gave up until I walked into this gem of a place and it changed my world! Not only is it delicious, but it relieves all of my aches and pains. I'm addicted to this place, the coffee, the nut milks, the organic and nut free treats......delicious! Shout out to all the employees too! Thank you! read more

I love the pistachio rose latte. Sitting outside right now on a Sunday because I happen to be in the city this morning. Only 2 more hours till they open read more

Was really excited when I heard this place was opening, especially since I've really wanted a coffee shop in the area other than Starbucks that's open late (when I'm actually productive). Made it in to check this place out on a work-from-home day and was happy to see there was plenty of open seats. The decor is lovely and I appreciated that the space wasn't overly air conditioned. I was a little disappointed in the one decaf roast available that was a bit "spicy" and just not my taste, but I hope they will get some decaf espresso or other decaf options. The oatmeal cookie definitely tasted health-conscious which didn't bother me but may not be...ahem...everyone's cup of tea, so to speak. My biggest complaint was the sleepy music when I'd forgotten my headphones. Overall, a solid start but I'm hoping they make some adjustments as they grow, including staying open later during the week. read more

Perfectly lovely coffee and space, but put off by the price. My partner and I had to wait around 20 minutes for a sandwich, as well. They seemed understaffed, and the sandwich was delicious, but it was a painful wait on top of the high price. I would probably come back for a plain coffee or latte, but $6-8 for some of their specialties is quite steep, and I wasn't convinced by the service. read more

This place was quiet and perfect. The baristas were very nice. The AC was a little too cold, but ai was very happy there.

This is a decent addition to the Lincoln Square neighborhood offering a variety of coffee based drinks you won't find at other nearby coffee shops. I ordered the iced pistachio and rose latte which was quite good. My two biggest gripes about this place are the hours- I wish they were open one hour later on weekdays so us 9-5ers were able to make it there before they closed at 6:00. Getting out of work at 5:00 and then taking the long ride home from downtown often puts me back in the area needing a quick pick me up moments before they close or soon after they've already closed. My 2nd issue are their prices. It's just slightly too high for me to want to frequent this place. I understand that the ingredients are of higher quality and organic and provide more benefits than your normal Starbucks coffee...but at the end of the day their prices force me to frequent the nearby Starbucks, Grind or Le Cafe which all have slightly to significantly cheaper drinks. Will I be back? Sure. Will I be back Daily or weekly? No. read more

Asked if they could do a flat white. "Yes." I think they meant no because what I got was a 12oz latte, which the barista insisted is "pretty much the same thing." read more

Great coffee but the wait is so long.. they need to have more workers you may have to wait about 15 minutes for your drink.... bcs there's usually only one person working... read more

This was my first time here and I ordered a Hibiscus Thai Iced Tea with a Caprese Panini. It was so good! I would recommend this place to all my friends! read more

Wonderful little cafe in Lincoln Square with great coffee. Prices are a little high, as a 12 oz cost me $6, but well worth it! I tried the Hazelnut Horchata Latte and it was fabulous! Will be back again for sure! read more

I care about ingredients and this place is conscience and mindful about food. I had the golden mylk latte - don't let the mix of ingredients fool you - it tastes very good. There is a food-as-healing vibe about this place. The cafe is decorated smart. I get what's happening at this cafe, I'm in. read more

This is a place to go if you want to treat yourself. The pistachio milk is amazing. The pastries are really unique and tasty. The prices will give you sticker shock, but you will find it worth the price. A really high end coffee place you have to try. read more

Consistently amazed at the quality of all of the beverages here. The staff is always cheerful and nice and service is quick. I'm not usually one for lattes but they make great ones here, including some really impressive vegan options. read more
