While in town visiting my family, I was in search of a coffee shop and happened to stumble upon…read moreDrip & Culture. Thankfully, it was only 10 minutes away, so my mom and I hopped in the car to try it out. Drip and Culture is located in the back of Supermercado Gonzalez. It's not rare for Mexican grocery stores in the area to sell hot food in the back of the store, but it was very unique to find this super cute, black-owned coffee shop located right in the back. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Ube Matcha and my mom chose the Banana Rum Caramel Latte! Both drinks were a 10/10!!! My drink had an Ube horchata base, which tasted like the perfect mix of vanilla and cinnamon. It was absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the matcha!!! My mom thoroughly enjoyed her latte as well! Next time I'm in town, Drip and Culture will be my first stop. The shop has a 90s theme with jerseys on the wall and VHS tapes, which gives such a nostalgic vibe. I can't wait to return!!!

Not only is the coffee delicious, but you can also grab tacos and relax with a seat while you enjoy your meal. The service is always welcoming, and it really is a great family owned business. One thing I love is that the menu is constantly evolving with new featured drinks, giving you something different to try each visit. So far, it has never disappointed. If you're looking to support local and enjoy great coffee, Drip & Culture is absolutely worth a stop!

I should have stuck with the basics. What an odd selection of flavors…read more When I walked in, which is a little confusing as to where the entrance is, I was met with lots of woods and chalkboards. Very nice. The restaurant itself is huge. The entrance side has seating and the largest side is all dining area. There is even seating outside. With this much seating and what clearly looks to be expansion, I expected top notch food. As I looked over the menu, I noticed they had a biscuit and homemade sausage gravy and for $4 more, they will add fried chicken. I order and chose hash browns since the waitress (who was very good) suggested it. Additionally, I chose to go with scrambled eggs. The massive plate of food came out and I was a little stunned. It was when I took a bite that all hope disappeared. I started with just a bit of biscuit. Not a biscuit. I am not sure what it was, but that is not a biscuit. Maybe a pancake made with biscuit batter? Next, I tried the biscuit with the sausage gravy. My brain had to pause for what it really was. Why is the sausage gravy sweet? Maple syrup? Where is the spice? What is going on? Then I tried the three together: biscuit, sausage gravy, and fried chicken breast. I am so glad they provided a steak knife to cut it because it was so tough and not worth the $4. The hash browns had no flavor (likely from a bag) and the scrambled eggs were definitely coming from a carton. The eggs had that weird texture eggs shouldn't have.

Very good coffee shop, excellent cappuccino freshly and politely made and served. Comfortable,…read morepretty space with big windows facing an interesting street.

There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!
