Seasonal lattes
Nicole D.

Stopped by late afternoon on a Friday! the line wasn't too bad and once you've ordered it's not long of a wait. We both got the raspberry hazelnut latte (one coffee, one matcha). Staff were so kind and welcoming. The drinks were great and so delicious. Seating is very limited and kind of chaotic since the line can get very long. Honestly would take the drinks to go!

We stopped by the RL store at the Fashion Outlets and was curious why they were selling Ralph's Coffee merch... Then we visited the flagship store on Michigan Ave and realized they have a coffee shop and a restaurant in addition to a gorgeously decorated clothing store front. I have never had a nitro oat cold brew that is a cold brew already infused in oat milk, it was so tasty and a great refreshing treat! The merch are all super cute and the employees were very friendly. The cafe was so adorable with a mix of upscale traditional old money and French farmhouse vibes... such a cutesy Instagram worthy spot. Come check out life sized RL bear too! So dreamy!

Ralph's Coffee on the Magnificent Mile is undeniably cute. I really enjoyed the classic Ralph Lauren look, and the setting was the most memorable part of my visit. I stopped around 9:45 a.m. on a Friday and was able to find seating. The service was excellent, friendly, and welcoming. I ordered a vanilla latte, but the coffee itself was very standard, especially for the price. It tasted like regular coffee with cream and flavoring rather than a carefully made specialty latte. The attractive setting and excellent service helped, but the coffee did not justify the premium pricing for me. If I were in a hurry and needed something convenient to grab and go, Otherwise, I would look for a more notable local coffee shop.

We waited in line for 30-45 minutes before we were able to step inside the cafe to order. While in the moment it was a little annoying, it makes the experience inside much more manageable and less overwhelming. I opted for a cortado and shared a chocolate croissant. The cortado was bold, had the perfect amount of ice, and was delicious. The croissant didn't seem like it was made in house but it was a solid croissant. Since they were managing the line into the cafe, there was enough seating for everyone inside, which was nice. Ralph's coffee offers a bright and preppy cafe aesthetic. It's a nice change of pace. They also sell merch but a lot of it was out of my personal budget.

Coffee break after exploring Chicago , Michigan street. Nice weather and not too crowded street. This cafe is small but very chic to relax. Self serve and seated. Sat on very nice corner cozy with aesthetically decor . Ordered chocolate croissant with crispy buttery texture. Combined with freshly americano coffee. Honey coffee cold brew and mocha coffee with cream. It was pricey but aura was warm. Overall great place to hang out. You can go their beautiful Ralph Lauren store.

Iced honey salted latte and iced vanilla latte
Meredith S.

Planned on going to Ralph's while in Chicago for coffee. We went on a Saturday morning around 9:30am. There was a line that we waited in for about 15 minutes. There were a few seats inside that the rear of my family sat down at while I waited in line to order. The little cafe was so aesthetically pleasing and had so many different things to look at while waiting. As a speciality latte, they had featured a salted honey cold foam latte. I decided to try that iced and it was amazing. My husband got the vanilla latte and didn't like it as much, it was pretty watery and didn't have much flavor neither coffee nor vanilla. The rest of the store did open at 10, so we "shopped" around a little while sipping our coffees. When we went to leave the line was wrapped around the outside of the building. Would definitely recommend getting there early if you go on the weekend.

Got the matcha. I wanted to check this cafe out for the vibes. It was a pretty long wait to order but was quick to get the drink. Honestly felt like it was alright. Not sure if it was worth the wait but it was good for what it was. Really cute inside though

Had to stop by here on our trip after walking past it a few times. The inside is so nice! The security guard was very friendly and told us about the 4 floors and that we had to check them out while we were there. He was very kind and knowledgeable. They had a special honey latte that I tried. Most expensive coffee I've ever had at around $13 but it was honestly so good. I would definitely get it again but it couldn't be an everyday purchase because of the price. I definitely want to come back.

SO CUTE! I had this on my list for a quick weekend trip and when we walked right past it, it was meant to be! The line was out the door and we knew it was a good sign. Their menu is pretty big and the staff were super sweet. There is limited seating inside the Ralph Lauren store but we were able to find a table as people were leaving. I tried their special honey caramel oat milk latte and my friend got the oat milk latte and both yum! Not super sweet but kind of a lot of milk. We also shared an affogato which was also delicious and aesthetic. All the merch, decor, and treats leading up to the counter are all beautiful and tempting. The store is decorated beautifully, also was tempted to buy a sweater while I was there but just stuck to coffee.

Ralph's Coffee is nestled into the first floor of Ralph Lauren in Chicago. This is a busy spot on the weekends so expect a but of a wait. While the line was a little long, staff moves through orders quickly. Their menu is very straightforward with coffee and tea drinks, pastries, and a couple of other non-caffeinated drink options. I wanted to order a latte which they only offer vanilla or chocolate flavors for outside of the seasonal special. When I visited, they had a Salted Honey Cold Foam Latte. They were able to make this flavor hot for me and just removed the cold foam. I really enjoyed the flavor and all drinks came with milk art. My husband got the Chai Latte which was made from a concentrate and tasted okay. They have a ton of branded merch on display that you can browse or purchase. The inside truly felt like a cute cafe. Highly recommend making a stop in when in the area.

Strawberry Cold Foam Matcha Latte
Camille M.

Popped in strolling down Michigan Ave while doing some shopping and for how busy they were the service was pretty quick. The matcha itself was fine alone if I did that with some syrup added -- but I didn't and did the strawberry cold foam instead. Wasn't a fan of the cold foam where could have done without and just ordered a regular matcha latte adjusted to my preferred sweetness probably would have made my rating higher. The spot itself is cute and connected to the Ralph Lauren store for some sips & shopping.

It's so cute and quant inside. It is my first time trying Ralph's Coffee. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing the coffee was really good. I got a vanilla latte and it didn't disappoint. Everyone inside was very nice. They don't have an extensive menu but it's not needed. I would definitely stop by again. I recommend to anyone visiting Chicago.

Alexandra F.

I love this place! A darling cafe inside Ralph Lauren. A menu full of delicious coffees, teas, and pastries. I was taking a morning walk from my hotel, and just happened upon this place. I asked what was the best on the menu given it was my birthday, and was recommended by Trinity to try the Oat Milk Draft Latte and add maple. WOW! Simply divine! Outstanding! My coffee was creamy, and slightly sweet. Perfection in a cup. In addition to the delicious coffee, the pastries are also very well made. My plain toasted croissant with a side of honey was flakey and buttery. Also a divine representation. While chatting with the employees, I learned that there are several Ralph's around the nation. Good to know, since I fell in love with my order. I will be seeking those out... I ended up coming here four days in a row. I did not encounter a line with the exception of my last day. That was a wait of about 20 minutes. There are several tables inside, but when there's a line/crowded you would have to take your order to go. There is a 45 minute time limit on the tables, however. Thank you Trinity for your recommendation! When I'm back in Chicago, I'll definitely stop by.

The only bad part is the wait line. But the coffee and croissant was worth it. The seating was nice and open and airy.

I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken tenders which is supposed to come with sesame ginger slaw, cashew, picked red fresno, and gochujiang honey mustard. I made it very clear that my allergy is specific to walnuts and is not dangerous but I do avoid eating them. Apparently they were unable to understand this or come up with anything resembling a solution, so they sent out a plate that was just 3 chicken tenders and some honey mustard, simply leaving the rest of the dish off. The chicken tenders themselves were overcooked and disappointing - but the main problem is that this isn't an entree. The idea that any chef looked at that plate and thought "yeah, we can send that out" absolutely blows my mind. $20 for 3 chicken tenders and some honey mustard. They are out of their minds. The waitress didn't even bother to tell me that my dish would be affected due to allergies (which didn't even apply here, I'm not allergic to cashews at all) as I would have either explained the situation or ordered something else. I'm sure most people have a fine time eating here, but this was the most amateur-hour handling of a food allergy I've ever seen and it ruined a dinner I had been looking forward to. This was a failure on every level by both the wait staff and the kitchen. I'm curious if I had a gluten allergy as well if they'd have just brought me a plate with nothing but a cup of honey mustard on it.

I arrived around 9:30 AM, and their most popular donuts were already almost sold out. That's always a good sign! I ended up getting a cruller and a strawberry-frosted donut. I tried to practice a little self-control by eating only half of each and saving the rest for later, but that plan quickly went out the window. They were just too good to resist! Later in the day, I told my friend she needed to check this place out for their donuts, only for her to tell me that it's her go-to spot every Sunday. Clearly, she's been in on this little gem for a while! While paying for my donuts, I also noticed they serve chicken, which gives me another reason to come back. I can't wait to try some more of their donuts and eventually venture into their chicken sandwiches. Definitely worth a stop when exploring downtown Chicago, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

We walked to this location and it was busy! It's a walk-in location but they have a few stools inside and tables outside to enjoy your food. In addition to donuts, as the name suggests they also have a variety of chicken tenders and sandwiches, but at 9:30 in the morning, it was a little early for me to enjoy chicken, but I'm sure it's delicious! It was hard to choose what donut to eat because they all looked delicious, but I settled on the apple fritter and my wife had the gluten-free sprinkle one and it was so good, she ordered a second to go. My apple fritter was great and not too sweet. Based on the donuts, I would come back to try the chicken! What a great local spot with great donuts.

However, it's actually a casual, counter-service concept where you place your order and then find your own seating. The space has a nice, open-floor layout with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual breakfast or brunch. The menu had quite a few appealing options, so naturally, we decided to try a little bit of everything! I ordered the egg, ham, and cheddar biscuit, substituting bacon for the ham. The sandwich was really flavorful, although I will say the biscuit was a bit heavier and denser than I was expecting, especially for breakfast. Thankfully, the honey mustard aioli was a wonderful addition! It added some much-needed moisture and complemented the flavors of the sandwich beautifully. We also tried the hash browns, strawberry matcha, sunrise chai latte, waffles, chicken sandwich, and regular coffee. Overall, the food was really good! My only minor critique would be the hash browns, which I found to be a little on the dry side. They weren't terrible by any means, but I definitely think they could have benefited from a bit more moisture. If I were to return, I would probably opt for one of their croissant breakfast sandwiches instead of the biscuit. Personally, I prefer something a little lighter in the morning, and I think a buttery, flaky croissant would be more my speed! What I appreciated most was the variety on the menu and the laid-back atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can grab a coffee, enjoy a good breakfast, and ease into your morning without feeling rushed. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience! While there were a couple of small things I would personally change about my order, the food was flavorful, the menu offered a nice selection, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Chicago and looking for a casual breakfast, brunch, or coffee spot!

Cafecito would be at home in a pre-revolutionary Cuban building, when Art Deco architecture permeated much of Havana and the other major cities in Cuba. Plenty of outdoor seating, but I chose to eat in the cafe area due to time constraints. I had the Vaca Frita which I haven't had in over 60 years and wow, it was amazing. It came with the proverbial white rice, black beans with plenty of condiment, and maduros. Oh yummy. My Cuban grandma would have been pleased... The waiter was indeed, a Cuban American who had come over during the early Cuban diaspora. We chatted a bunch about the old country and had a pleasant conversation about being from the same province in the island. Great reminiscing, great food, great service. Yum.
