Located in West Loop, Postcard has carved out its on unique space. Based on my visit, it's a combination coffee shop, cafe, and lounge; while each of those provide a unique experience, Postcard has meshed them altogether to create a great vibe. I stopped through late morning on a Saturday and there was no line for ordering That said, as it is located in a relatively compact space, seating was limited. The staff was friendly and once a line started to form, they did a great job of managing it. I opted for a cold brew coffee which was very tasty. My son had their espresso/tonic which was also tasty and refreshing. I did not try any of their food offerings but the items I saw other with looked delicious. Postcard is laptop-free space on Saturdays and Sundays so keep that in mind if you come here wanting to work on the weekend. I will definitely be back to check out more things from their menu. read more

Pretty solid coffee spot. It doesn't have much space for the amount of people, but we were lucky to find a spot. We tried: - Cold Brew w/House Cold Foam - Matcha Americano Solid cold brew, but nothing new as it comes to flavor. Just overall good cold brew. The Matcha Americano was overwhelmingly matcha - couldn't taste the americano. read more

Came here on Saturday morning, no line! Really cute space! On the smaller side, maybe around 10 seats. They are dog friendly which I love! The staff were very nice and my latte was made very quick! I got the iced butterscotch latte and it was great! The perfect espresso flavor and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet! I will be back! read more

What a vibey cafe! This cafe is set up great for hanging out and catching up with friends. l came here for remote work and it was a comfortable space for laptop work but there is limited seating. Chairs are comfy but some of them are stools, so no chair backing for many seats. There is a comfy couch area with small tables that are big enough to fit a laptop and a drink. The food and drinks were good! I had a hojicha latte which was exciting because it's hard to find around the city. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. My favorite were the toasties. They were fancy and you definitely pay west loop prices but they are high quality, tasty, and creative! The sweet pea toastie had mashed peas on petite crispy toasties. I really liked the ratio of peas to toast. I also loved the milk and honey toast. The cheese was piped onto the toast and topped with honey and spices that made for a dessert like treat. Will definitely be back! Apparently they have DJs on weekends which is also when they don't allow laptops (which I think is great for setting the weekend vibe!) read more

Small, aesthetic coffee shop. We came in the morning and there wasn't a line. I got a hot latte with almond milk. It came out quickly and just as I expected. Not mind blowing coffee, but not bad. I might be blind but I didn't see the postcards that the other reviewers were mentioning. read more

Very cute cafe with great atmosphere in the west loop. Flat white was really nice. Biggest complaint is the food prices. The tuna toastie was good but is criminally priced at $19. read more

Very trendy and aesthetic cafe attached to the Monos store. Decent amount of seating, outlets, and table tops. Biggest issue was how aggressive their policies were. Apparently there's a mandatory purchase rule and they will confront everyone. Our friend ordered a pastry so we joined him at his table. We were told and said we all had to order something or leave even tho the place was half empty. We ordered something else but I feel like there's a better way to let people know there's mandatory consumption. Pastry was expensive and my friend said their iced latte wasn't very good. Just a reminder why I actively avoid west loop. read more

I've walked past this place who knows how many times since they've opened and it looks so cute inside. I finally stopped in for a quick visit. The two ladies behind the counter were so kind and answered all of my questions. Iced chia isn't really "on the menu" yet the ladies made one happen for my boyfriend. The Chia was amazing. It had a hint of banana. It was loose leaf. It was fun watching them brew it. I ordered a cappuccino. I was a little nervous. They use metric brand coffee and normally I'm not a fan but I loved my cappuccino with oat milk. I'll be back to visit again I saw a few people sitting and eating with hot bites that looked really good! read more

Super cute & aesthetic coffee shop in the heart of west loop!! It's travel themed hence the postcards they give out & the luggage store they have next door. The iced matcha latte with brown sugar was decent (7/10), not the best I've had though. The milk & honey toastie (9.5/10) and the tamago toastie (8.5/10) were very overpriced, but super tasty and well seasoned. I loved the mint on the milk and honey toastie! Super lively inside with limited seating, so might not be the best to study at unless you get a good spot! read more

Came in for a matcha and a treat one morning. This cafe gives Korean coffee shop vibes, which we love. The seating is so cute and comfy, service was great. I had a matcha w a savory pastry. My friend had coffee with a ham and cheese pastry. We both loved what we ordered and had a lovely time. Parking in this neighborhood is wild tho lol it's def the most expensive pay to park that exists in the city so keep that in mind! The walk of this cafe also opens up to whatever store exists next door too, randomly lol read more

What a cool addition to the neighborhood. I didn't realize this was attached to the Monos store next door. It's a new coffee/cafe spot that just opened this past weekend with a really fun Vinyl Bar aesthetic. The staff is really friendly. The coffee was good (I got a flat white), but the sweet pastry (apparently from Publican) was just okay. It didn't taste fresh, but just something to improve on. They have a small food menu outside of pastries too. They're gonna start having DJs in the Vinyl area which sounds neat. Two things stood out to me during my visit: -- Because the windows and natural light are plentiful (which is a good thing), it can get *really* hot, even if it's like 78° and sunny. Like Sunburn in 20 minutes hot. -- At least when I was there, there were no "Iced Drinks" explicitly on the menu. You can get your hot drinks over ice, but I really recommend they add a Cold Brew or something along those lines to the menu. I'd say 75% of guests were drinking iced drinks. read more

This place is super cute with a mix of aesthetic vibes that make it perfect for photos. There isn't a ton of seating, but the food and drinks more than make up for it. The small bites are delicious don't let the size fool you, the flavor is absolutely there. I highly recommend the matcha, and the coffee is amazing as well. My personal favorite, though, is their nonalcoholic drinks. They're not only really good, but also beautifully made and very Instagram-worthy. You can tell they pay attention to the little details like the ice cubes stamped with a "P" for Postcard. That extra care really stands out and elevates the whole experience. Great food, great drinks, and such a charming spot overall. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Very cool space with a bright, modern interior and eye-catching cup design--everything about the visuals is on point. The coffee, however, was just okay. Our hot latte unfortunately tasted bitter and not very pleasant. They use Metric beans - not sure about which one specifically - but the bitterness might come from the extraction. The baked goods selection is not very appealing to me. On the other hand, the matcha was solid - I truly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. read more

This is a very modern 'aesthetic' driven coffee shop and it's nice to have another cafe in the area. There are a few spots inside if you are looking to work and an area for days when they have a live DJ. I got a vanilla latte and it was decently priced and actually good! They also have pastries available. It gets pretty busy so finding a spot to work at can be a little difficult. Staff was also nice and helpful and I love their t-shirts! I'd come again if I'm in the area and need a coffee. read more

Cute and small cafe located at the street level of an apartment complex. Its got a small front and pethaps a bigget room for private parties? There were people going in and out of a room behind me with a huge door. The service was excellent, cashier is ftiendly and service everyone water witnout request. However, when it comes to the coffee: 4 stars for the ham and cheese croissant, super flaky yet soft, perfect amount of filling! 3 star for the coffee as it tasted really sour. I ordered a flat white and it didnt taste like a flat white at all. Assuming its the quality of the bean is just not what im used to. Otherwise cute little cace to visit and do your work! They also have a dj booth so im excited to see what comes with it. read more

Postcard is a trendy little cafe in West Loop with excellent service, really good matcha, sandwiches and salads. It's super busy so finding a seat can be tricky considering that they share space with Monos luggage. Overall, I highly recommend Postcard to anyone coming to the city. read more

Need to come back and try again. The music is good (playlist, no live DJ), I love the set up and would love to see a DJ one day. I ordered matcha and it was well done, but the food was disappointing. It's wayyy too small for $15+, I thought the flavors needed more balancing, and I like my toast a bit crunchier read more

Loved my coffee from Postcard!! I tried the black sesame maple latte and it was very flavorful. Small cafe, not many places to sit and very busy on a Saturday. Cute and aesthetic, very bright space. Friendly workers! read more

This is their first food and beverage concept - a modern lounge at the intersection of music, design, and hospitality. This connects to Monos. I had a pastry. Their items come from Publican Bread. The staff and service are postcardful. read more

The environment felt fairly unwelcoming and cramped with overpriced items. It seemed heavily geared toward influencer/photo traffic rather than being a comfortable neighborhood coffee shop. The food was alright, but the atmosphere didn't encourage staying to relax. In summary, this place feels just for the grams. read more

Coffee and pastries are basic but the atmosphere is extremely unwelcoming. I know it's bougie west loop but i was antagonized from the moment I walked in from customers to the owner. The music is average. I am not coming back. read more

Cute interior, the service was great too. I feel like $8 (basically $9 after tax/tip) is a little steep for a matcha latte though, especially since it wasn't that big. read more

Loved my Iced matcha, perfect umami and nuttiness. Get it with their house made brown sugar. SO GOOD! We shared a tamago toastie and a sweet danish. Both were fresh and delicous. Came here and they had a DJ today spinning vinyls, the vibe was great, we sat longer than intended! read more
