    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    What time does this cafe turn into a wine bar? Hours say the cafe closes at 2pm.

    Do they serve any food?

    Just pastries and some small grab and go items

    Do they have bottomless decaf?

Pulled up just before 6:30 AM on a weekday and there were just a few folks ahead of us in line, but service is quick. Cake donuts were actually pretty solid here; the Blueberry Cake Donut was the best item, super soft and moist with a good amount of berries throughout. The Pistachio Cake Donut for some reason was texturally firmer and drier than the other. Unfortunately, the fried donuts were all misses. The dough was just really dense and none of the toppings really hit. The Glazed Donut just made me sad that the dough was bad and the bacon on the Maple Bacon Donut wasn't crispy, so you got a cold, chewy, greasy bite that wasn't super pleasant. The chopped dough pieces in the Apple Fritter were also oddly firm instead of soft. For a place with rave reviews, I was pretty bummed by the donuts, but maybe the fried chicken sandwich is where it's at.

The little cafe was so aesthetically pleasing and had so many different things to look at while waiting. As a speciality latte, they had featured a salted honey cold foam latte. I decided to try that iced and it was amazing. My husband got the vanilla latte and didn't like it as much, it was pretty watery and didn't have much flavor neither coffee nor vanilla. The rest of the store did open at 10, so we "shopped" around a little while sipping our coffees. When we went to leave the line was wrapped around the outside of the building. Would definitely recommend getting there early if you go on the weekend.

    On a recent work trip to Chicago, I had the chance to experience all of Eataly's offerings. During…read moremy first visit, I picked up some sweet treats to enjoy after dinner. First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.

    We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.
