    Y'all.. when I say this place is phenomenal? I was visiting from down south and I don't really believe that infused stuff works, but I was wrong. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by an amazing young lady, I'll post the pic here which I think she is in it. The lemonade was sooo good, I got the mauwie wowie, & the highest level. It was so amazing & good. They have other treats and stuff in there but I went for the lemonade because it's perfect when you're walking around chicago. The vibe is chill. It's definitely somewhere you can sit and do some work, study, chill and get your thoughts together. Staff is good. No bad after taste. The bathroom is clean and nice too. It's a detailed place and definitely worth stopping by regardless of being local or a tourist. Thanks for the awesome experience to the barista

    Bf drinking his sky high raz lemonade.

    The vibe was soooo cute. Loved the theme. Now let's get to the good stuff. I had the watermelon Lemonade w/ blast off infusion, I advised you non partaking people to take it slowly. It is very potent. I kept trying to drink it all because it was so good, forgetting there was a special ingredient in it lol. I also bought a cookie, which I haven't tried yet. But the pastries looked delicious and fresh. And the customer service was out of this world. I can't wait to go back.

    Everyone here was so unbelievably nice and I wanted to like this so badly. I didn't try the edibles so can't speak to those but I got a regular coffee and it was almost inedible. For almost $9 (got cbd add on) this coffee was disgusting. The flavors all sounded so delicious I don't know how it came out so gross. I wish I had a different experience but if you're getting a regular coffee I wouldn't recommend.

    Ahh! This used to be Thai Bowl remember that? This is the 6th location here. I haven't been to the other locations so this is my first time here. Had the Wake N Bakery Lemonade and it was pretty good, low on sugar too. I felt a little effect. Staff and service is wonderful.

    great spot to work/study at!…read more staff was nice, seating is really nice with ample outlets around - big windows for light, drinks were yummers & japanese dishes & baked goods were such nice to have for the long days!

    I want to love OMi so badly, I really do. But now that I've been here a handful of times, I'm…read moreconfident in saying that it's a more middle of the pack option for the cafes I frequent. Let's start with the positives. I love the vibe of the cafe itself, it's one of my favorite spots just for the abundance of natural light and the cute decorations & art strewn across the walls. It's also just a very social atmosphere due to all the meetup events that congregate there, which can be a pro or con depending on who you ask. The employees are all super chill! Generally good vibes and never had a problem with their service. Now the negatives. The drinks and food are so mid. I keep trying different options hoping that I picked the wrong item, because I so desperately want to find that "go-to safe item" at my favorite spot. But all of it is just so, so mid. Sometimes it's too sweet (the most common problem), other times the flavoring is just super underwhelming or grossly artificial. The baked goods are all pretty low quality as well, I honestly think I could make better pastries myself (and I am a person who tends to be hypercritical of my work, so that's saying something).

    But the barrels... they're so tempting!…read more Running right across the middle of the shop, there are barrels full of different kinds of coffee beans. It is so tempting to open them and start smelling, only the signs very nicely ask you not to. Wanting a break from dime-store coffee and tea (Folgers - no hate, it has a place), I decided to get something a little less "meh". Added bonus is that I am able to support a family business, as opposed to the Walton family and their associated shareholders. The staff at The Coffee & Tea Exchange was wonderful! They helped me select three different coffees to take home, speaking to the roasts and what makes them unique. I'd also like to award some bonus points for just the right grind of coffee for my reusable Keurig pods. My amazement does not stop at coffee, either - this also applies to teas. I went home with a few varieties of some of the more flavorful loose-leaf teas I've had! The kicker? The prices were very reasonable! True, it is not as cheap as a large can of Red or Blue coffee from the grocer's, but at the same time, not as expensive as something a corporation (maybe with a two-tailed siren??) has convinced you comes from a magical place called Seattle. Final verdict: My freshman year roommate had 4 open tubes of toothpaste because "variety is the spice of life." I have one tube of toothpaste, but coming up on a dozen different coffees and teas in my cabinet. Once I start running low, The Coffee & Tea Exchange is the first place I'll go to restock.
