Best coffee spot I've found in Andersonville. The cardamom rose iced latte is my go-to in the summer, but they also have a really good hibiscus tea lemonade. In the winter I go for the Nutella latte. I love to come here on weekdays to get some work done or read a book. The only issue I have is that it's a small space without a ton of seating, and sometimes oblivious parents will bring their loud children to run amok on weekend mornings. I realize the business can't really help that so I just hang my head in defeat and get my drink to go when there's a gaggle of toddlers. But it would be nice if The Straights™ would redeckonize that they're guests in a gay neighborhood and at least make their spawn behave if they're going to insist on bringing them. read more

The Coffee Studio is a chill spot with a really pleasant industrial-chic design, highlighted by dark exposed brick running down both long sides of the shop and a great mix of soft artificial lighting and natural light. For a smaller footprint, they maximize the space with a wider variety of seating than you usually see--ranging from bar stools, traditional tables, and booth benches to relaxed lounge chairs and simple benches. Coming in around 1:30 PM on a Monday, there was ample seating available, making it feel like a solid option to set up and get some work done. I ordered the Iced Nutella Latte with oat milk, which ran just under $10. The flavor was definitely good, though it leaned much heavier on the cocoa side than the hazelnut--so if you aren't big on sweet drinks, keep in mind this one lands firmly on the sweeter end of the spectrum. While it's a great space to hang out or work, if you're just looking for a quick, cheap coffee pick-me-up on the go, there are definitely less expensive alternatives nearby. Overall, another decent local option if you want to settle in for a bit! read more

The Coffee Studio - 12oz Iced Oat milk Nutella Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is my favorite local spot from Andersonville to Roger's Park to Lakeview to Uptown. Great coffee and awesome staff. My only complaint - which I offer becuase I only want CS to stay awesome- is that management needs to do a deep clean... there have been a LOT of fruit flies inside all summer, and there is about an inch of dust accumulated and visible on top of the big white "orb" lights in the front. That coupled with the tired furniture just doesn't give the sense that "clean" is a top priority. But again, LOVE the staff and coffee which is most important. read more

I wouldn't give 5 stars to a cashless place because right off the bat it's an inconvenience. Barista was friendly - greeted me and people in line, promising to get to us as soon as he finished making someone's drink. Pleasant atmosphere with peppy alternative music and adequate seating. The latte I ordered tasted fine but seemed pricey to pay over 7 dollars for a 12-ounce drink. Definitely in the $$-$$$ category if you get something to eat. read more

Unfriendly staff, never greeted me and instead gave me a cold look, even after being greeted by me. Nonetheless I continued with my order but the guy at the counter seemed very unhappy to be there. Perhaps the Studio needs to hire people who will greet their customers in a friendly way. How can patrons return? I'd rather go somewhere that's friendly and welcoming. You can get hot coffee here, sure, but be ready for a double side of a cold shoulder. read more

Over priced, coffee taste like dog water. Service is eh. Over priced once again. Would not recommend

The coffee studio has ample seating and a great ambience or a meeting, chatting up with friends, or studying. They have a selection of pastries that sell out throughout the day. They also have an expensive beverage menu. My experiences here have been back-and-forth. Somedays my drink is on point and others I get a Matcha that it's clumpy. For the price point, I would expect more consistency. Also, some of the staff aren't as friendly/talkative/inviting. read more

Realized this is the same owner as Pedestrian on Belmont which is one of my fav coffee/ pastry spots! I like the vibes here better though. They have a good variety of seating and a bit more light and openness than the Belmont location, some outdoor seating too. The pastry selection looks the same, which is great! I just got a latte but it was very good. Would come back here if I'm in the area! read more

Staff was pleasant but they are a cashless place. The reason I'm not for cashless is because they charge fees on card usage. Everywhere should still be using cash, period. read more

My favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. I love their scones! I literally just go for the scones. Chill vibes and great place to do a little work from read more

Still a great coffee shop... but I'm not sure if I stopped in on an off day, or if with their move to pedestrian coffees they've changed their chai. It didn't have nearly the amount of flavor as it once did; in fact, it was somewhat bland. Bit of a bummer if they have indeed changed their blend. read more

The Coffee Studio is my favorite little local coffee spot in Andersonville. The shop is spacious and has ample seating options. The big, storefront windows allow for tons of natural light to brighten up the place. The vibes are chill and the perfect spot to catch up on some work or enjoy a sip and treat in peace. read more

I've been going to the Coffee Studio for 10+ years. It changed owners (now Pedestrian coffee) 2-3 years ago and the upkeep/attention to detail has sadly gone way downhill. Food is fresh (pastries, bagels etc) and is offered throughout the day, but most options are pricy. The iced tea has good depth and the coffee is dependable. The furniture is overdue for an update - chair cushions wouldn't be picked up for free in the alley. The regular chairs are often broken, wobbly, etc. The floors are literally taped together in some spots. The ambiance, while once comfortable, stylish and inviting, feels neglected. The staff is friendly and the best thing about the shop. read more

From the looks of things inside, this is a very popular place to get coffee in Andersonville. It's crowded as crap every time here. One reason is because there's limited seating. Even with all the coffee shops around here, it still gets a crowd. That must mean it's pretty good, and it is, with not just the coffee but some bagels and more. After heading up to Andersonville to look around, we stared off by coming here to get coffee. It was already crowded early in the morning. There was actually a need to wait for open seats. A few seats are along the counter. There's also a few chairs and couches, but not a whole lot of tables. She got a cappuccino. The coffee is about $3 for the cheapest stuff. I got the Maple Latte. It's about $5 for a medium. Also we got bagels. It's about $4 with a spread. Among the choices is vegan cream cheese. This is similar to the real thing, just softer. Good place for a light breakfast. It gets busy early and often. There's lots of other coffee shops around this but it seems to be the most popular if looking at the crowd size and the waiting. read more

Best coffee, excellent ambiance, love the staff and their insightful, informative conversation.10/10

Small coffee shop. Came here to grab a quick drink from the cold. The place isn't busy for getting a drink, but the number of seats is filled up here. The entire shop is visible from the entrance, so you can see if there is an open spot. My favorite part of this place is that it is pretty quiet beside the music. Great if you want to read compared to other shops. read more

Cute little coffee shop, decent coffee, but honestly didn't think it was super memorable.

Why did you change the style of yogurt you serve!? I used to love your Greek yogurt--it was delicious, creamy, and offered 18 grams of protein. It was my favorite healthy breakfast. But you switched to a soupy, sour tasting brand from Trader Joe's that not only tastes bad but has only 7 grams of protein. PLEASE go back to your former brand. Your coffee is still great and your baristas are the best--but I want my healthy breakfast back! read more

great service and great coffee! staff is super freindly as well. if you are in the area this is a place id recommend checking out

Had to kill two hours in Andersonville so I decided to find a cafe. A cafe that served good coffee, a cafe where I could provide my laptop with wifi and electricity, and a cafe where I could enjoy the ambiance. Found it all at The Coffee Studio. There was a good selection of drinks to choose from and I went with the cortado. Really good! Saw on Yelp later that they also serve matcha cortados, definitely somthing I want to try next. There's plenty of desks and outlets to sit at. You need to provide proof of vaccination to sit inside and I appreciated that. If you choose to drink from the cafe, you also get your drink from a glass cup which is nice. It was pretty quiet and spacious with some plants and chairs dispesed here and there. Really nice place. read more

One of my favorite coffee shop in Andersonville. I'm on my day I come here. My go to drink is Large Iced Americano or Large Nitro Cold Brew. But today I order an iced medium vanilla Oatmilk latte. With a double chocolate chips muffin. The baristas are nice and friendly. I will bring boyfriend back to hang out in the patio this spring. read more

The staff is really fantastic! With the changeover to Pedestrian is going well, but there are some issues. First of all, the Pedestrian web site for ordering coffee doesn't work well at all. You can ask for only one sugar, where in the old app you could ask for basically anything including multiple shots. Second the pastry orders are inconsistent in numbers. Definitely should double the number of Hitchhiker Scones every day of the week. Lastly, they can't do pour overs anymore for some reason I don't quite understand. Anyway, good transition but needs some sorting out. read more

Lovely environment and service with ample outdoor seating for its size. I hope the barista was having an off day. I had a meh cortado. Everything else is good here read more

I've driven past The Coffee Studio often every time remembering that I want to come here, well today I made it my walking goal lol (I don't really enjoy waking aimlessly, need to have a destination and this was it!). The staff is very nice, friendly but not over the top like they're faking, the Studio is bigger than I expected (not huge but a lot more seating inside than I anticipated), and has a small area for outdoor seating on the sidewalk. The coffee's well balanced, no sugar needed (from someone who almost always has to put sugar in her coffee but tastes it first to make sure), which I prefer. The pastry was fresh, didn't feel/taste like it's been sitting there for a few days. Definitely doing this again. read more

The matcha latte and service are consistently great! The staff is kind, and the drinks are delicious. The ambiance is good for those who like a mostly quiet place to work, but of course can be a bit of a chatty environment around lunch time. read more

The coffee here is *seriously* excellent. I love the personal and neighborly connection with a real person when ordering, and I love the vibe! My only wish is that they offered food protein options for sale. Top of my list would be single large or XL hard boiled eggs, still in the shell (customer shells her own). Even better if they are organic or farm-fresh. read more

A solid place on the far north of Andersonville. Parking is always terrible here so watch out and they will ticket you I you're a few min over or if your registration is even a day expired lmao butttt coffee studio has lots of seating! It's comfy enough to feel like you can stay until they close and the people are very friendly. It's a little pricier than some of the other cafes around but overall I recommend it as a good option in Andersonville read more

This was the 2nd visit I've had here. I really like the location in Andersonville and appreciate that they are open until 7 on weeknights (unlike many other coffee places that close at 5). Ambience/atmosphere is good. Baristas all very nice. Speedy service. Really enjoyed my matcha cortado, cappuccino and blueberry muffin. Free WiFi and water. Gender neutral bathrooms. They have all kinds of beverage options including alcohol. read more

The Coffee Studio - Matcha Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Popular, ideally located coffee shop in North Andersonville, with ample seating both inside and outside. One of the best things about The Coffee Studio is that it opens each morning at 6:30, seven days a week. The coffee is excellent, and the cafe has a friendly, relatively quiet vibe. Ideal spot to read the paper or do a bit of work online, with a good number of tables by the front windows, along the aisle, and in the back. The shop's tasty assortment of food offerings includes flatbreads and quiches. Great to be able to support a local, independent business that helps make North Andersonville an even nicer neighborhood to live in. read more

Super cute vibes inside! I tried the dolce latte with oat milk and it was as good as everyone says. The bagel I ordered was a bit tough by the time I got it home (8 min walk) but that could be because it's February and freezing. I'll definitely be going back! read more

The Coffee Studio - a bagel and a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great coffee and tasty treats. They serve intelligentsia and have a variety of whole beans on hand, and they're recently roasted (not old and stale like you'll see at a lot of places that but in bulk). Definitely worth stopping in. read more

The Coffee Studio is an ideal cafe to grab a mug of coffee with a friend, solo, or while pouring over your work. (pouring effort, not your drink). The aesthetics are light and peaceful. I appreciate the variety of seating; there's a large working table and window seating at the front of the cafe and ample smaller tables in the back. Also worth noting, the Coffee Studio should win an award for best bathrooms in town with their private restrooms adorably labeled as "humans" or "humans with babies". I ordered the most gorgeous latte (check out my photo and tell me I'm wrong!) and loved the taste. Their dolce latte comes sweetened with their homemade simple syrup. I'll be back once the weather warms up to order it iced and use their bathrooms. FYI, if you need to get online, you'll have to request a slip at the register that offers 1 hour of Wi-Fi at a time. read more

The Coffee Studio - Dolce Latte w Gorgeous Latte Art - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have driven past The Coffee Studio multiple times, but have not actually stopped by until this past weekend. Now kicking myself in the butt for not coming by sooner. We got the Dolce Latte, Matcha latte, almond croissant, and everything bagel, and I was very impressed with everything we ordered. The matcha latte is probably the priciest one I've ever purchased, though dare I say, it was worth it. The matcha flavor was strong and I had it sweetened with the cane sugar syrup, so the sweetness offset the bitter of the matcha perfectly. The dolce latte is as good as everyone made it out to be. And the almond croissant, MY GOD. Amazing. Looking forward to coming back again the next time I am in town. read more

Coffee Studio has stayed open for the community throughout Covid, offering preorders and pickup through their app. I like that they open at 6:30 am for those early mornings when other shops are still closed. My only gripe is that their to-go cappuccino is tiny - it's maybe 8 oz at most. I would really like to get a 12 oz cappuccino to go. read more

Service here is always good, the baristas are friendly and excellent at their jobs. I like the chill vibes, it's easy to find a seat especially during the week. My only critique is the coffee tastes different these days and not as good as it used to - a friend who used to work there told me that they changed their beans supplier which honestly, was a mistake. read more

The Coffee Studio is a wonderful neighborhood cafe in Andersonville that employs very talented baristas who turn out satisfying and well-made coffee drinks. One such barista, Jordan, crafted the best cappuccino I've had in my short stint in Chicago. Check this place out! read more

If you're in Andersonville, this is the best of the best. Not only do they serve Intelligensia coffee, but the menu is small and tight, nicely curated, and there are tons of other extra goodies (specialty popsicles! Icecream! Yummy teas! Boozy coffee!) to be had if coffee isn't your thing. Coffee was amazing. Moving on.... Their bagel and cream cheese: Divine. Lox and onions? Yes. Everything bagel with the creamiest real-chive cream cheese ever? YES. Do yourself a favor and don't skip grabbing a bagel here. You will not be disappointed. My number one criticism of local indie coffee shops is the pretentiousness that inevitably comes with it. Maybe it's a Midwest thing, but this was the most cozy, kindest-staffed coffee shop I've ever been to. Friendly and warm baristas who took their time on every cup and apologized for the wait but didn't make things feel rushed, a great selection of music playing at a nice volume, and tons of seating, both two person tables and a workspace table. It was all around lovely. read more

I'm always up for a cup of great red eye coffee, anytime of the day. I was waiting for my hubby to finish up his service call nearby and found this place while yelping on the bus. Got off at Mryn Bawr and Clark and walked diagonally across the street, there you were! I finally was about to get my afternoon coffee fix. I saw red eye coffee on the menu. Great! Even though it was a bit pricy (medium size for $3.85 as of 02/03/2015), it was more than a decent cup of bold black coffee. I know it's a close call, but I still prefer the red eye from Baker&Nosh in Uptown. If you're planning on staying and using the wifi, be sure to ask for a free wifi code upon ordering. You will receive a 60-minute free wifi. Overall, it's great neighborhood coffee shop. I was able to surf the web and had a quality cup of red eye. The service was slower because there was one Barista on duty. I didn't mind since I wasn't in a hurry. read more

The Coffee Studio - 7/8 drunk medium red-eye coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a nice and chill spot to catch up on emails, meet a friend, or zone out on your phone. They have a bunch of hot food items, baked goods, wine, beer, various cold and hot tea/coffee drinks, including my favorite- iced matcha (so good). I got a flatbread pizza with walnuts, brie, pear, and arugula that was pretty bomb. They had several others that look equally rad. I'm looking forward to when the weather gets warmer so I can try some of their popsicles! read more
