Very cool!

I'm not going to waste your time reviewing their menu because let's face it, you've been to a Starbucks (and if not, get out there!). You're either a fan or your not. And I for one, am a huge fan. A Starbucks snob, if you will. This is partially to blame on their ridiculous convenience factor. For the last year and a half I've worked in an office with this Starbucks located right inside the LOBBY OF THE BUILDING. You could say I frequented this Starbucks... A LOT. The staff is great here! I really appreciate that they remember your name and your order - which is impressive because they are packed every morning! It's this kind of appreciation that has customers coming back for more. I personally think they handle their busy rush hours very well. I've never waiting super long for my order and even when I've waited just a little bit, I was given a free drink coupon! Much appreciated. Only downfall: It's not a very big location. They do have some chairs and seats up at the front window, but it's not a spot I'd stay awhile. Not great for meetings either, gets kind of loud. This Starbucks is more of a get in, get out kinda shop. To wrap this up... job well done Starbucks. I highly recommend 200 W. Madison for all you coffee drinkers in the loop!

I take the pink line to work and my train was delayed so I decided to grab an uber. While I waited, I stopped by at the Starbucks on Madison and Wells to grab a pumpkin scone. Keep in mind that this was at 7:42 am and I was SO incredibly fortunate that the line wasn't long because that's when most people are either about to arrive to work or heading into work. I figured I could order the scone, the barista could give it to me and I could be on my way out. Except, that didn't happen. I ordered my scone and ol' homegirl just stood there. She expected me to wait for everyone to get their bagels toasted or their breakfast sandwiches heated up before my order could be filled. I'm sorry but I've ordered scones and sweets before from Starbucks and if it doesn't require warming up (it has glazed and couldn't be warmed up), then there is NO excuse as to why she couldn't give me the scone as soon as I was done paying. Keep in mind in that whole five minutes while I waited, she just stood by the register waiting to take orders. To make matters worse, as soon as I registered that she wasn't going to get the scone to me and that I had to wait behind everyone else, I was like oh no... I have to go and that's when the heavy foot traffic started. I walked up to the cashier and said, "Cancel my order" and she said, "You have to give me a second to refund you your money back" and I just walked out because I didn't have time for that nonsense. Waste of $3.24 for nothing. Another thing, if you know heavy foot traffic is coming in, why is there only one cashier? There were two people off to the side looking at some manuals. UNACCEPTABLE. The worst part is, later that day I went to my Starbucks on Taylor street and ordered the same thing and the barista gave me the scone as soon as she rung me up. Starbucks on Madison and Wells, super unacceptable to be this inefficient at 7:45 am. Please develop better best practice policies for heavy morning commutes. There is no excuse why you should be snoozing on the job, you have all the coffee your heart desires at your disposal!

Another morning

Some people might say, "if you been to one Blue Bottle, you've been to them all", well I beg to…read morediffer when it comes to this location. Located near the Merchandise Mart and overlooking the Chicago River, this location has floor to ceiling windows with amazing views in every direction. Considering the layout, I am sure this place is frequented those who work and/or live nearby. There are plenty of table/chair combos; the perfect setup for laptop and tablet work. I stopped through on Saturday morning and there was a number of people already setup with their respective devices. They also have music playing in the background (at a very acceptable volume level) which for me, just added to the vibe. The staff, were friendly and helpful. Add to that, they did an awesome job of managing the line as it never got too long. As for drinks and food, no complaints here. It's consistent with the Blue Bottle level of quality I have come to expect and appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this location.

There's some seating behind the other side but it gets filled up quickly. The barista are so nice. I got their hot sweet latte and it was so nice and warm. I was able to WFH for around 4 hours here.

These are some of the best, if not *THE* best donuts I've ever had. Chicago has some excellent…read moredonuts... Do-rite, Voodoo, Firecakes, even Stan's under some conditions; Doughnut Vault beats them all! Maybe it's because they were made an hour or two ago? Maybe they use better/fresher oil? I don't know, and frankly, it makes no difference to the smile on my face. The two donuts I had that day were their daily specials. IIRC, one was a Salted Caramel Old Fashioned, and the other was a Yeast Apple(something) filled donut. The Old Fashioned blew me away. The dough had a very light, but nonetheless present crispness from being fried. The dough itself was sweet, and the salted caramel coating was on point, with actual salt notes coming through. The apple-filled was similarly delicious, though I regret cutting this into pieces and enjoying it over three days, for this made it seem like there was not enough filling! Learn from my mistakes, and enjoy these things whole! More to love is that their prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the service is friendly, knowledgeable, and fast! If there is one quibble that I have, it's that the donuts were just a touch sweeter than I would prefer. However, this is a matter of personal preference, since these are donuts for crying out loud! Final verdict: Best donuts ever! Go! Do!

We got there around 11 AM and unfortunately, a lot of flavors were already sold out. The interior…read moreis very small. You basically walk in and immediately see the donut counter, with room for maybe 4 customers max. Service was amazing! The guy greeted us as soon as we walked in and had such big energy. Before we looked at the menu he showed us the variety he had left. 9/10 service, definitely a fun way to start the day! This was actually my first time trying an old fashioned donut. The pistachio old fashioned was nothing too special. It tasted more like a dense cake, was slightly oily, but I did like how dense and filling it was. 6/10. Definitely want to come back earlier next time to try more of their flavors!
