    White mocha with oat milk
    Elizabeth G.

    Service with a smile - the barista was SUPER friendly and I enjoyed our conversation. Coffee menu is varied with lots of custom options, and they have some solid pastries too. We were able to find a spot to sit immediately on a Friday morning and enjoyed our coffee. Definitely a solid choice for a quick cup of coffee in the area.

    Super cute and spacious coffee shop within walking distance of the nearby Design Museum of Chicago that has a free exhibit that is excellent right now: Arts of Life: celebrating 25 years of providing arts training and employment for folks with disabilities. Go see that! Then come here for a chocolate croissant and coffee! Or Diet Coke, as I'm not a coffee drinker. My kid and I loved sitting together on a big comfy couch and eating our treats. The raisin bun was awesome! Paired it with a fresh banana to boost the nutritional value. Very delicious. Pricy, but it's Chicago in a tourist area. Staffer was lovely, very friendly and efficient. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the neigh again.

    Stopped by Two Zero Three before leaving thr city and it exceeded my expectations for a hotel lobby coffee shop! They feature La Colombe coffee in their drinks but to my surprise, they also had their own espresso relayed drinks/lattes. The Purple Rain indeed had a strong lavender taste with a good espresso flavor! The Bee's Knees was also good with the oat milk and touch of salinity from the salt. Could have been a little sweeter with the honey imo. The cookie was thick but a little hard; the spinach feta pastry was actually pretty well seasoned with a nice crunch to chewy ratio! The store itself had a good amount of space and seating, ranging from couches to high top tables. I appreciated how it had enough space for travelers to navigate their small luggages. Staff were polite and drinks came out at a reasonable time. Hotel guests get a 20% off with the voucher they give you at check in!

    Stopped here after a bright and early morning! We were craving coffee after eating breakfast and this place was pretty close. It's in the same building as the NBC tower and it's definitely a cool coffee shop. When you walk in, it's pretty small but the setting is really cute. It gives studying, business or even work meeting vibes! I got one of the summer drinks, the Raspberry vanilla Iced latte. If you're like me and like strawberry/raspberry anything, you will definitely love this! It adds a little tartness to the coffee with a hint of raspberry, not too over powering. I would definitely recommend this coffee shop!

    It's a small café connected to a hotel. The coffee was pretty solid, although the caramel was on the lighter side. They did add more caramel upon request and it tasted fine. The green tea latte was very good and they do not pre-sugar so you can add whatever sweetener you like .

    Plenty of seating available- couches, benches and high stools

    Picturing yourself enjoying a gourmet coffee, tea or quick bite and peering out a large window as the L train slowly, saunters bye. A cool spot to get some work done or just lounge. The shop Is located inside the Virgin Hotel so you could easily miss it if you're not looking. Glad I was able to stop in and wish I had done so earlier in my trip. The baristas were super nice and friendly, offering up their personal favorites. The seasonal options were quite unique and I decided to give the pistachio white mocha matcha tea a try. Wow, it was super tasty !!! This was my favorite place to grab tea and will is my favorite place to grab tea in Chicago.

    Two Zero Three is a cute cafe located in Loop. It has a cute ambiance and wide range of coffee options (they also have a special winter menu) I ordered a Purple Rain coffee with almond milk. It had a good taste of Lavender and was quite refreshing. They do not have any Vegan options which was disappointing and hence deducted a few stars. I ordered a Spinach and Feta Pastry as I was quite hungry and it was average. They have a huge seating space and a lot of folks were working from the cafe itself. I may come back just for the coffee!

    Good study cafe. Cozy decor and seating. Unique and fun beverages that rotate seasonally. Food is decent. Not too loud. Water offered and bathroom upstairs with bar area and additional seating. Will return to work on my computer again.

    Being the mom of a barista, I'm looking for little local places. But here in the tourista section of Chicago, I'm going to have to work harder. But... Lovely place to sit and sip. View is nice and moved the music. My "god save the queen" was perfect. Felt like an independent café.

    Purple Rain 4 out of 5! Lavender flavor present, good blend.
    Marshal R.

    Overall 4.5 out of 5! (But I always round up) We were only in Chicago for a quick one full day trip and we STILL came to Two Zero Three TWICE. First time my wife and I got a Ice Purple Rain (Lavender) and Queen Bee (Honey Cinnamon). Second time I got the Queen Bee, but iced this time. My wife opted for the Bee's Knee's (Honey and a pinch of salt) - which was a big no for me but my wife liked it. THE GOOD * Unique and GREAT flavors. * Friendly staff. * Clean inside. * Relaxed location that you can probably do some work in. THE BAD * Not so obvious entryway. - We were following a couple going to the same place, they pulled on the exterior door, didn't get in and just walked off. We went to the other door and found the interior door inside the Virgin Hotel entrance. THE UGLY * Nada.

Be ready to wait because for some reason everyone decided this was a hot spot. Forget getting there after 9am if you want to wait less than 45-60 minutes. The tables are jammed together, the service is SLOW and the food is expensive and really not all that special. Save time and money and go somewhere else.

I had a slice of their strawberry-rubarb loaf which was decidedly mid. The second time we went for breakfast. Nothing was great - my pecan sticky bun was borderline stale, the other breakfast items were OK (burrito and sandwich) but ordinary, they messed up the coffee order (and initially refused to believe it), and most weirdly tried to gate keep which table we sat at, for no other reason than they seemed to want to. All in all we would not go back again. There are so many better places.
