    We went two Saturdays in a row. The habana drink is so delicious! It's a latte with sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon. They make all their syrups in house. My daughter tried their nutella filled croissant and loved it.

    Not much to say. The coffee is amazing. I've been here twice. I had the Habana hot and it was delicious. The next time I went in I got their dulce de leche iced and it was fantastic. I will go back. Hopefully soon. The location was very clean and staff was friendly.

    Cuptown is an cute , new, Venezuelan owned coffee shop located in the west lincoln park neighborhood . The coffee drinks we tried were great and fairly priced ( my latte was a few dollars less than it would have been at starbucks ) . They also have some great pasteries as well as some more substancial menu items that I plan on trying in the future ( eg avocado toast, bagel sandwhiches ) One complaint - they don't open until 8:00 am during the week which means I can't go there before work. i suggest they consider opening at 7 to get more business in the morning. For now, I will add this to my rotation of coffee spots I frequent on the weekends.

    Happy patrons

    If you're looking for a 10/10 bfast sandwich to fuel your day, you're in the right place. My friends and I had the best experience at The Cuptown. Let me break it down for you: - walk in, immediately greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and a friendly face - menu is clearly visible and easy to find - pricing is very reasonable (bfast sammy & 16oz latte was $15 before tip) - seating area was comfortable - food was ready quickly and brought to our table - everything was delicious Very grateful for such a lovely start to the day with my besties. THANK YOU THE CUPTOWN!

    I cannot believe this place is not packed all the time! Quick service, very chill and quiet vibes, and delicious food. I can't speak for the coffee, but I've been thinking about the avocado toast for weeks. The Cuptown was pretty excellent too, pictured below.

    Cute little neighborhood coffee shop in Chicago's Lincoln Park. Perfect first time there visiting our sons so was looking for a close place to walk to:

    I came here for breakfast and it was awesome! The service is very quick, the servers are friendly and the bakery items are great! Such a cute and great addition to the neighborhood!

    iced latte and dulce de leche croissant

    pretty solid cafe! i would definitely stop in again if i were in the area, but i'm not sure i would go out of my way to visit. surprisingly good espresso (on the milder side, but not in a way that it's weak, per se), good croissant (definitely a special treat), lots of non-coffee options for those who don't partake. there was a group of, like, 10 college girls plus two families with toddlers when i went in, but the folks working were still kind and service was fast. my only issue is with the physical space. it echoes like no tomorrow! i don't know that i would have had issues if it was less busy, but my ears actually hurt with the sound. i know i have sensory issues so i bring earplugs with me everywhere, but i really would've had a bad time if i didn't. price-wise, it was about $15 for drink and croissant, but i couldn't tell you if this was before or after tip.

    Reasonably priced and great tasting latte. It's not a big shop, but there were plenty of seats available on a Sunday afternoon.

    My only regret about visiting this spot is that it took me so long to finally make the trip over! I…read morelove a bougie sandwich, and this easily made it to the top of my favorite spots. I stopped by on a Saturday around lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. There were some long benches and some regular tables, making for either a cute dine in spot or solid carryout option. My dining partner and I split the Bombay chulet- while a bit on the pricey side, it was definitely enough for two people and evened out. One bite into the sandwich, she said that this was the best one she'd ever had. It was hearty but no one ingredient overpowered another. The meat was very fresh and I absolutely loved the spicy fig chutney that gave the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The cheese was so creamy that it sort of melted in with the aioli, which was also very balanced well proportionally. However, the fried crunchy onion bits really took it over the top for an explosion of both taste and texture. We left very satisfied and already planning when we would make a return visit. I can't recommend this spot enough and will definitely be back soon!

    Came here to try the sandwiches and they did not disappoint!…read more Ordered the Bombay and ck1 - both sandwiches were really good. The ingredients were matched well and I found myself interested the more I ate. I can imagine this place gets busy and although I was able to walk in and order, there was a healthy stream of customers coming in right after me mid afternoon. Food 5/5 - I'd come back to try more, there's even a water station! Ambiance 5/5 - cute shop and has indoor and outdoor seating Service 4/5 - our cashier seemed bored and bothered by taking my order. Maybe I caught her at the wrong time but it does make me think twice about coming back to this specific location.

I ordered the salmon bagel with onion and capers and it was incredible, really delicious. We also tried the cinnamon bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese and it was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. They also had some sliced and toasted bagels that were really good too. Every bagel came with a pickle on the side, which was a nice touch. The place itself was amazing. There were plenty of tables to sit, a cozy bar area where you can eat or have a coffee, and the overall vibe was super friendly and comfortable. It's not a huge space, but it feels really inviting and there's enough room to stay for a while, you could even bring your laptop and get some work done. In the summer, they also have outdoor seating, which makes it even nicer. The service was great, the staff was friendly, and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey. We ordered two filled bagels and one plain bagel with just a small side of cream cheese, and it was almost fifty dollars. If all three had been filled bagels, I would totally understand the price, but since one was plain, it did feel a bit expensive. We also got the strawberry cream cheese, which was good but not my favorite. I definitely preferred the cinnamon sugar one. Overall, I would absolutely go back because the bagels were fantastic, the space was cozy and welcoming, and it's a perfect spot to relax or grab breakfast, just a little on the expensive side.
