Breakfast bagel sandwich did not disappoint- great flavor! Great service... and nice sitting areas inside & out to chill!

I hate to admit it, but I haven't been to Two Hearted since before Covid! I'm living in the neighborhood now and stopped off today to grab a coffee and scone. So glad I went! The iced queen of hearts was delicious and the blueberry vanilla scone was perfection. From the outside of the cafe to the inside, I love how quaint and inviting the space is. They have a varied menu, great signature coffee drinks, comfy indoor seating, plentiful outdoor seating, and a unique vibe that is spot on for the coffee enthusiast. And they're now open till 4:30pm which is a plus for me to come by after work. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not pleased. I walked into Two Hearted Queen hoping for a cup of joe within 15 minutes. Seeing as there were 2 people in line, 3 people working, and one single person waiting for their drink, I thought this was attainable. I was wrong. The first 5 minutes of my visit were spent working on one drink for the person waiting. This was when I began to grow wary as all 3 employees were staring glassy eyed at the shot of espresso brewing. Not exactly a 3 person job. Emerging from the trance, one worker told us they would resume orders in a second but "the orders were backed up." Finally, while still making the same drink from before, they asked the first person in line their order, then resumed crafting the first drink. When they finally went to punch the order into the register, they had forgotten everything she'd said and we had to restart the whole ordering process. At this point we were 10 minutes in and had gotten through half of an order (also the waiting customer still had not received their drink). I decided this was not the place for me, and didn't have another 20 minutes to wait for them to pour a cup of coffee. If I may spitball for a second, perhaps things might move more efficiently if one person takes orders and 1-2 makes the drinks instead of all standing around one half-made beverage. I cannot comment on the coffee, so maybe that would have made it all worth it, but I'm not sure such a drink exists. If you are on any type of schedule and see even one person ahead of you in line, I would throw in the towel. read more

Don't get me wrong, this place is great. Lots of seating and chill ambiance. Great and friendly service as well! However, my issue is the pricing of the coffee. A 16oz latte should NOT cost $10... I always support small businesses in every city I go to, so I want to support them but $10 for one drink is asking for a lot. read more

Miserable coffee experience. Curt, gruff , and painfully slow service - order was incorrect after confirming to server in addition to outrageously high prices ($8 bagel ?!). Latte was bitter and not worth the wait. read more

Honestly not my cup of coffee. I've been here a few times and they definitely have their return customers. It has interesting specialty coffees, but I just can't find a flavor I like. I also think it's a bit on the expensive side, 2 small size coffees for $14.75. I'd say give it a try if you're in the area, it's just not for me. read more

We found this cafe to be okay. Generally, the coffee was nice, but nothing crazy. The bagels weren't great though and they took a very long time to come out, and we arrived before a subsequent rush followed us. The place has very good cafe energy, but when I asked some questions about the coffee as they are roaster, the baristas didn't seem to know much about it besides the roast type, which was disappointing. I think there is a lot of potential here, but my visit was just okay read more

I've always passed by the Two Hearted Queen and loved the location as it is in one of my favorite areas of Lakeview, so I'm happy I was finally able to stop in! It's very cozy and I love the couches and community posters posted within the shop. I got a latte and a delicious Cherry Orange scone. My food was ready quickly and the baristas were very nice. I hope to return and try more off their menu! read more

Cute coffee shop with a lot of great spaces to work from. The baristas were really really friendly. I didn't get to try the food this time, but I'll definitely be coming back to try it. read more

Two Hearted Queen - seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sometimes I'll open Yelp to try and find a coffee shop when I'm out and about, and Two Hearted Queen has popped up more than once on that search but I hadn't made it here yet. When leaving story time at the Lincoln Belmont CPL branch a few days ago this was one of the closest so I headed over. It's in a great neighborhood in Roscoe Village--in fact, when I got there I realized it was across the street from a townhome complex where we almost bought a place several years ago. The building where THQ now exists used to be a dry cleaner. Anyway, I stopped in and picked up a couple drinks to go: one Queen of the Night and a chai latte. I understand the Queen of the NIght was excellent; it was described to me as unusually complex for a mocha. This particular drink includes coconut flavoring and is garnished with salt and peppercorn, so I can totally see "complex" as a good descriptor for it. My drink was okay. It said that it included ginger flavoring or something but I didn't detect that (for me a little ginger can go a long way, so I expected to taste it). Though it said something about spices on the menu description, my receipt said something about no spices so... maybe they left that stuff out? I didn't ask for that, though, so if they did that's disappointing. The inside of the shop is not terribly large, though they do have counter seating for a few seats and then there are several tables further back in the cafe. They also have an outside seating area with as many or more tables as inside, I think. They have a Print Here station which I've seen at a few coffee shops lately and undoubtedly is really useful (I know my printer doesn't work and I don't have the energy to figure out why, so it would be handy for me!). They have free wifi as well. I love the theme. It feels whimsical to me, and though I'm not sure they had Alice in Wonderland in mind at all that's what it evokes for me. Two Hearted Queen is a corner coffee shop in a very dense neighborhood, so they don't have dedicated parking. What you'll find here is street parking, but it's not paid parking and much of it is restricted; I think that those restrictions are 6pm - 6am. However, I saw a woman preparing tickets so I didn't trust that I was reading it correctly and left where I originally was planning to park. Luckily for me on the Racine side of the street right in front of the shop which made it very easy for me to get in and out with a car seat and a couple drinks. The coffee gods were looking out for me! My biggest hesitation about THQ is that it's REALLY expensive. I don't think I've ever paid that much for a coffee or chai before. My chai was about $7.50 before tea, and the mocha was a bit higher but under $8. They were larges, but that's a 16 oz I think. Though even if it was 20 oz, I'd have thought it was pretty outrageous and much higher than some of the other coffee shops around. A bagel with cream cheese is nearly $7, that's insanity!! If I had been sitting down I'd have fallen out of my seat for sure. I might return to Two Hearted Queen if someone else is buying, but the cost will probably steer me to another place. read more

iced queen of hearts and freshly pressed orange juice were good. matcha, however, was not - color was off and taste was not it. def stick to the coffee. seating area is cute though, good for a chat or study. read more

This local coffee shop has a lot of character inside it. From the vintage furniture in the back, to the expansive menu up front. I love how you can get pumpkin spice and maple syrup in your coffee, even during the summer months. The pastries & sandwiches look amazing. All the workers are amazing and they explain items very well. Who knew this great place would be nestled into a quiet street corner? I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area, as it's one of the only ones I know that serves a 24oz iced coffee. Huge plus for me! read more

Two Hearted Queen - Iced coffee w/ oat milk & pumpkin spice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My favorite local cafe!! Staff is wonderful and welcoming, coffee is excellent and their homemade scones are delicious!! Th vibe is very chill read more

Let me start by saying this place is very cute inside with lots of seating. We found it welcoming and without loud music so you can have a conversation. I also liked that they roast their own beans. We were disappointed by the coffee though. The drip was very brisk and overbrewed at least to my standard. The latte was good though. I didn't love the attitude of staff when we were waiting for food. If I had a recommendation for this place, be aware of your attitude with customers and maybe test the strength of the coffee (very strong and acidic). I prefer small businesses and would like to come back read more

Overall it's a cute place, but just a little overpriced for what you're getting. The Breakfast Bagel was $13 without meat added. It tasted pretty good, but pretty small and not incredibly filling. Probably should've gotten it without the hot giardiniera since it was a little spicy for me. The small chai was only 8oz and almost $6 and was just a boxed chai. I did love that almond and oat milk weren't extra $ though! I'm also a little bit of a tap water snob and theirs was not very good. read more

great drinks and vibes, super cute interior! Baristas are nice and educated on the drinks

I am a coffeeholic, have been to many coffee places in search of good coffee and this place probably has the best lattes. I had an oat milk latte and it was absolutely amazing. We had to get a ride to this place since it's not close enough to walk to and it was worth the cost of the ride. I would definitely recommend trying this place and then you can walk around the town which has many good restaurants and shops. read more

One of the best neighborhood coffee shops you will find! They have the friendliest employees who are always excited to see you. The Iced Queen is one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had--you can't go wrong with any of the flavors. The blueberry vanilla scone is UNREAL. I would eat one every day if I could! Definitely stop into Two Hearted Queen if you get the chance. They are the best! read more

Awesome neighborhood coffee joint. I enjoy a smooth coffee that's not too sweet and this meets the spot. I tried Queen of the Night which is a mocha latte with dash of pepper and salt which takes this to the next level. The last couple sips were a little intense as the pepper sank to the bottom but the entire experience was excellent and unparalleled to other places I've been. Prices are a tad high so this is an occasional indulgence. Will definitely be back and try out their homemade pastries. They also have a cute outdoor area for those looking to have a coffee date or enjoy the coffee alfresco! read more

Grabbed breakfast and coffees from here 2 days in a row. Just takeout and my friend picked it up for us. There was no delays and the pickup was quick. I thought the coffee was decent. I just had a plain black coffee but I think I'd add some type of flavoring next time as there was just something a little different about the taste that I wasn't used to in a black coffee. The bagel sandwiches were AMAZING!! I had the breakfast king (both days because it was that good) which includes an egg, choice of meat (I got bacon), and cheese with extra toppings (your choice of mayo or sriracha aioli or mayo, mustard, spinach or lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, and hot giardiniera). I picked the sriracha aioli and remove the giardiniera, on a sesame bagel. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again! The sandwich was around $10 while the plain black 12oz coffee was about $3. So a little on the pricier side but I would still recommend checking this place out! I'd like to go back and sit down for a morning here. read more

Since everyone raved about this place, I had to check it out myself and honestly thought it was just ok. First of all, the customer service is incredible. Everyone is very nice and sweet. I got there around noon and almost all the tables were taken but i grabbed one open one. It's a chill place to work or get things done. The latte was good but I couldn't taste any cookie butter flavoring I requested. The scone was just ok as well- a bit on the dry side but I appreciate it being served warm. All this was about $12 which is a bit pricey but I love supporting local. There's also free wifi which is a plus. read more

Two Hearted Queen - Latte and Blueberry Vanilla Scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is based solely on the oat milk cortado I got. Really bad - basically tasted like a Starbucks cappuccino. Low quality espresso, no velvet to the milk, overfrothed. And, nitpicky, but I got a to go cup despite asking for here. Disappointing, as I saw good reviews here. read more

Nice open space inside and even better drinks. I didn't care much for the old furniture. I wish there had been more tables and comfortable chairs. Also, I understand the rising costs of food and labor but the price of a latte here is insane! The most expensive I've encountered so far at $9. It's very good, but I don't know if I would be back due to the high price. read more

I have really come to love this place. First off, the coffee is excellent. That's no small thing. I tend to drink a double espresso, and I can't tell you how many times the taste is bitter or thin. Not here. It is always excellent and full-bodied here. In addition, this coffee house has a wonderful quirky, lived-in feel with a nice mishmash of furniture styles and plenty of outdoor seating as well. And to top it off, the staff is always super-friendly and eager to serve and they remember your name after only one or two visits. And if all that isn't enough, this has to be the best name for coffee house around. All in all, highly recommended. read more

A genuine neighborhood gem. A wonderful experience. Best macchiato in town! And a welcoming vibe.

Nice people, pricey slow service. I think there are better spots to hit in the neighborhood

Two Hearted Queen, I just love ya! If you haven't visited this neighborhood coffee shop for your caffeine kick, you're missing out. Two Hearted Queen has all the elements you ask for in your local coffee shop: actually good coffee, friendly staff, and a warm, cozy ambiance. Sadly, the inside is still closed due to covid. I'm so excited for the day they open it up again and I'm able to get some work done in the sitting area. It reminds me of a cozy living room filled with small tables to sit, mismatched couches and lounge chairs, and funky art on the colorful walls. They even have a printing station which is handy! Pre covid, they use to have a game in place where you pulled from a deck of cards and if you pulled the queen of hearts your drink was free! My go to in the warmer months is the iced queen, the signature drink here (for good reason!). It's a shaken iced latte, dark or white chocolate, espresso, choice of milk, dash of coconut milk, ice- shaken, strained, chilled. YUM. Smooth and not overly sweet. You can tell they know what they're doing when it comes to coffee. Another must: the blueberry scone. This is the best scone I've ever had in my life and that's all I have to say about it. Get it! read more

I really like the Two Hearted Queen! It's a fun non-Starbucks spot that offers great drinks, sweets, and some seriously tasty breakfast sandwiches! It's only a couple blocks from me which is an added bonus! It's tucked in a little residential area so it's pretty quiet, too, which is great. The selling point for me with the Two Hearted Queen is that they have a lovely front patio in the summertime with large picnic tables and umbrellas. It's a great chill spot to get some work done where I also bring my dog to hang out. I actually have never sat inside but heard they have a spacious seating area there, as well. They have a fun trick at the register where you can pick a card out of a deck and if you get the queen of hearts (duh!) you get 1/2 off your drink! I actually got it once and was very excited. Easily more excited than the staff... Speaking of, the folks behind the (coffee) bar aren't the most enthusiastic bunch of coffee shop folks I've ever come across. The lack of friendliness and the high prices (I once paid $5 for an iced tea... what?) are what keep me from giving this spot 5 stars. I also haven't been back in a while because of these 2 things. But it's still nice to have it close by and this is a good reminder to give it another shot. read more

They are open with reduced hours and offering curbside pick up during the COVID19 closures. *They recommend ordering ahead online. An eclectic coffee shop nestled inside a neighborhood. There is a lot of seating that stretches around the space. Though people seem to settle in and stay for a while, so if there isn't a space it might be a wait. They are good for a grab and go, but nice to sit and wait. They had fresh loose leaf teas to choose from and do not give too much to make the tea bitter. read more

The aesthetic in this place is so freaking cute ! So many seating options and a couple couches . The staff is super friendly!!! Would come back just to get greeted by the staff.

Also , the vanilla blueberrry scone was also PHENOMENAL - it didn't even need to be warmed and it was still moist when I came in at 4 PM. I'll definitely be back ! read more

Two Hearted Queen - Caramel Latte and Blueberry vanilla scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great coffee and they roast in house. Slow service at rush. If you don't get a large, you'll be stuck with quite a small cup.

Amazing scones and great coffee in a cute neighborhood shop--what more could you want! Let me just start off by saying that I am not a scones person. They're just too dry and boring for me usually, but all of the reviews rave about the blueberry scones here, so I knew I had to try it. Now that I've established that I don't just like any old scone, trust me when I tell you that these scones are different. They are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside and have the most wonderful blueberry flavor permeating through the whole pastry. I could eat a dozen of these bad boys (and if I had the money to drop $50 on scones, I would)!! The coffee deserves just as much praise. I got a dirty chai, and it was absolutely scrumptious. Perfectly sweet with a good amount of spice. The espresso is smooth and well balanced. A very well done drink! The only downside to this place is the price. I get that things are just more expensive these days and that you pay a premium for quality, but my dirty chai was almost $10. Honestly, maybe that's a good thing--if it were cheaper, I'd be tempted to come back every day, maybe multiple times a day. At this price point, I'll save it for my weekly coffee shop visits. read more

Two Hearted Queen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My boyfriend and I always pick up from two hearted queen every Saturday morning. It's a solid coffee shop that the locals in the area enjoy. It's usually pretty easy to just order online and pick up without wait, but today, we had to wait around 25 minutes more than our listed pickup time... so something to just be aware of when you're ordering around peak hours (11 AM ish) and when the weather is nice. Typically we go around 10 AM. This place has the BEST scones I have ever had. They're not dry at all which is an issue I find with a lot of scones. They're also not too rich/sweet. All of the flavors are good. My favorites are blueberry vanilla and the maple and pepper. Bagels and coffee are very good as well. Nothing you can go wrong with here! read more

Doing pre-ordered carry-out only during the pandemic, these guys still have the best drinks and scones around. We didn't know about the ordering rules, but we stepped back outside, placed our orders and scooped them up a few minutes later. I loved this place before the pandemic as it had many cozy nooks and crannies to curl up with a book, so I'm glad to see they're still doing their thing. Stop by if you're in the area and don't hesitate to add a scone to your order. They're amazing! read more
