    The second Printer's Row is just as great as the first, if not better. The cafe is quite spacious with plenty of tables, chairs and bar area to relax or get work done. They have a good selection of both hot and cold drinks and we got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch hot beverage. Excellent with unique flavors! Finally, great service here - just like the LP location.

    It's a really nice atmosphere, it's large and bright with a variety of seating options. However, my coffee honestly tasted like nothing. It was a cold brew with oat milk and amaretto. It didn't have a strong coffee taste or a strong amaretto taste. It didn't even have a strong oat milk taste! It was really meh overall, which was surprising and disappointing. They also don't have food, just a few granola bars. Seems like a great place for a cup of pour over, nothing fancy flavored, and to sit and get some work done.

    I moved to Old Town this past July and have been looking for a go to coffee spot for a while now. I absolutely love this spot, it's only a 15 minute walk from my apartment but it's totally worth it. The employees are really friendly here, and since I usually order a cold brew with nothing in it, they pour it really quickly so I barely have to wait even if there's a long line. The cold brew itself was very smooth and it's not too bold of a flavor which I really like. The atmosphere is also very pleasant. It's very spacious if you need to get work done and their patio has plenty of seating, perfect for a fall Sunday morning. Will definitely be back soon!

    Always trying a new coffee spot before heading to the Farmers market. Nice and chill vibes with the doors open on a beautiful Sunday morning. Quick and friendly service. I ordered a cold brew and a blueberry danish. Cold brew was smooth and not too bold which I enjoyed. The danish was very flaky and had a nice tartness to it.

    Printers Row Coffee is such a solid spot if you're looking for a place to slow down and get some work or journaling done. The vibe is relaxed, the space is welcoming, and the service is quick and friendly--you don't waste time waiting around. They roast their own coffee, which gives everything on the menu a fresh, intentional feel. On top of that, the owners are a wonderful family who've built multiple locations around the city, and you can feel that personal touch in the way the café is run. Definitely a place I'd return to when I'm in the area. Between the great coffee, comfortable study atmosphere, and genuine service, it's the kind of café you'll want in your regular rotation.

    This is a great wfh spot, there's lots of seating and large windows with lots of natural light. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was a busy stream of people the entire time. I tried the pumpkin pie chai, a seasonal drink. It was decent, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, this coffee shop is worth a visit and next time I'll get a different drink.

    Love this coffee shop. Coffee is always on point. They have a rotating selection of baked goods. It's a converted garage so it has a chill warehouse kind of vibe. I love it as a chill weekend spot to get some work done or read a book.

    This place is one of my new favorite places to go for coffee! The staff are friendly and there is a lot of space! You can sit both inside and outside. There are many outlets inside. Absolutely love that they don't charge extra for their milk alternatives here! And the lattes taste great. The only things I'd love to see them do differently in the future is adding some vegan pastries and having a water refill station somewhere accessible to customers! Overall this is a great space though and I will definitely be back to study and meet with people.

    I'm not sure how new this coffee shop is, but I really love the space! It's quite spacious and airy in here. I had to try my standard first order at a coffee shop and got an iced vanilla latte and husband got cold brew. We also split a French onion savory croissant that was delicious. The workers are all friendly as well. We will definitely be back! There's also plenty of free street parking nearby.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch iced coffee
    Iris P.

    Just brewed happiness in a cup! Checked out @printersrowcoffee on Kingsbury street over the weekend to try the Cinnamon Toast Crunch iced latte! The coffee did taste like the cereal after drinking it for a bit, it doesn't hit you right away but it got better to what we expected! The service was not the best honestly we walked in and were asking questions about the menu since we've never been there before and the girls working didn't want to give us any help so we just got what we came for and left, it was definitely a weird experience, but the coffee was good! The ambiance was gorgeous

    Walked by and noticed they opened up a Printers row coffee shop in LP. Plenty of street parking near by. The coffee shop itself has a ton of seating - great place for casual meetings or studying. Lady at the front was friendly. They had some quick pastry and savory breakfast bites. We got lattes and they were perfectly made.

    This is hands down one of my fav coffee shops in Chicago. The coffee never fails to be good and the prices are so fair (no cost for milk substitution). The place is so large and I often study here. My only negative here is the wifi is very choppy and I have to use my own network most of the time.

    See all

    Terrible service. Rude staff. Inconsistent roast quality. They try to sell out stale/old roasted beans before they sell the fresh ones.

First of all, the ambience/atmosphere is soooo cute and unique. It is in the "lobby" of the apartment building above it, but it's done so seamlessly you wouldn't even realize it unless you were looking at the resident mail boxes. Either way - tastefully done. My favorite part was this area to the right of the coffee counter. Cozy chairs and inviting space. Loved sitting here and enjoying my latte and donut. Secondly, such unique drinks! They have some really fun seasonal and specialty drinks. I highly recommend the Thyme is Honey - it comes in a cute bear cup with a sprig of Thyme. The also carry Beacon's Donuts (if you haven't had them, this is your sign to!). And lastly, the barista, Clara (I THINK that was her name), was delightful. Super friendly and inviting. So, thank you to her for rounding out a really nice coffee break.

With that in mind, the phrase "Happy Monday!" is an oxymoron, even though I send it every week in the Teams chat. Something that helps fight the Monday blues? Coffee! Yet, despite their oxymoronic name, Happy Monday Coffee is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. As someone who doesn't often make coffee runs during the workday, this means my coffee time is relegated to lunch. Some more expanded hours would be helpful not only to me and others like me but also to boost business. Where the coffee itself is concerned, I love the creativity displayed in the latte selections. Even as someone who is not a big latte lover, this is the kind of beverage I always get here. Are these the greatest things ever? No. However, I can't fault them too much, as lattes by design hide the bite of espresso under milk and often sugar. The vibe inside is relaxed and modern-boho, with a tasteful DJ set playing at a reasonable volume on the flatscreen. While I always take my coffee to go, it seems like a comfortable place to relax with a cup for a bit. Finally, I want to give credit to the service. While there isn't often a long line, service is consistently friendly, welcoming, and fast. Their prices aren't the cheapest around, but they are in line with what I'd expect for premium beverages in a high-traffic, downtown area. Final Verdict: Does Happy Monday have the best coffee anywhere that has me stopping in religiously? No. However, as someone who drinks soda rather rarely, when I am craving a solid and creative latte while at the office, Happy Monday is the first place that comes to mind.

Some of the things we consumed: YUZU NITRO COLD BREW: -- my favorite coffee drink here of the trip -- yuzu works very well and is clearly present -- very visually appealing -- smooth and tasty and not too sour -- only orange or multiple citrus blend coffees may beat out this for me RATING = A WHISKEY BOURBON CAKE DONUT: -- lightly sweet w/gentle lean towards moderate -- up to moderate bourbon sniff and taste -- not oily or greasy -- soft interior almost layered -- leans moist, not dry -- size is small -- $5 plus is pricey but a rare find donut flavor RATING = A NOTE: I do miss their Sicilian cannoli from 2022, but I tried something else here as a substitute later in the trip PROSCIUTTO PROVOLONE CROISSANT: -- buttery -- not heated up -- medium sized -- soft flaky croissant flatter, not airy -- nice quality pastry -- lightly loaded inside but good balance of inserts to bread -- a good light snack to save belly for our Italiano dinner RATING = A- We snuck in at the last moment apparently as we were nearly cut off from lining up at the bar at 9:29pm.
