My poppa bae surprised me and took me here one morning out the blue. The frozen mocha was the bomb. I love it. We will be going again and again. Go and have a new experience. You wont be sorry.

Its one of our towns best places! The workplace is fantastic because of an excellent, friendly team. Theyd be able to provide us with the coffee flavor we desired. They were able to provide the desired taste that we needed, in my opinion. I will definitely return, and I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! Thank you!

What a spot. This is one of the most convenient locations for certain tasks. They definitely served good coffee at a reasonable price, as well as delicious cookies. I was rocking in my seat because of the music they were playing. This is always the place! I would strongly recommend it to my peers, family, and coworkers. Continue your good work!

My initial thought upon leaving Chicago was to get our breakfast at some combination of Starbucks/McDonald/Dunkin. It wasnt what I wanted to do, but I knew it would be fast and efficient before an 8-hour drive. But as I was pondering these unpalatable possibilities, I remembered a coffee shop on Clark St. that I had passed on a few of my walks, and also remembered that they offered a cream cheese, lox, and onion sandwich on an onion bagel. I had always meant to try it out, and so I decided to make the stop on the way out of town at the Coffee Studio. It was a wise decision on my part. I ordered a large dulce Americano to go with the sandwich. Of all the places I went looking for Jewish bagels and sandwiches, this one finally hit the mark. It was a pretty solid onion bagel, there was a generous shmear of cream cheese, the lox was cold and fresh, and the raw red onion on top was nice and crisp. The coffee was brewed nicely as well. We took our sandwiches over to the lake shore for one last view of Lake Michigan and ate the sandwiches with quiet, melancholy pleasure. I got chewed out by the server because I failed to see the sign that only allowed one customer in the store at a time for pickup, and I deserved it, so kudos to the staff for making the place safe for customers and everyone. Hopefully the next time I am in Chicago I will be able enjoy this sandwich again while spending a few hours sitting in their shop drinking coffee and wandering the internet.

Among the remainder, you are the best! What I like about this coffee shop is that when it comes to coffee and pastries, theyve really got my taste. Its not so sweet, and its just perfect. You deserve to be remembered by many! Expect me to give all my colleagues a recommendation for your service and go here again. Oh, thank you!

If you are looking for a good coffee and accommodating staff, this place is the best to go. The chairs and couch were very comfortable. And also, the restroom is well designed and maintained. Everything about this coffee shop is excellent. I really love to go back here together with my friends, family members, and loved ones. Thank you very much!

A great coffee shop that we stumbled upon while visiting near Loyala campus. A great shop with cool coffee selections and baked vegan pastries. We ordered vanilla latte and caramel latte. Both lattes and pastry were great. Service was really good. Very relaxing place where seat back relax and enjoy great coffee.

After our long drive, we drop in this coffee shop to have some coffee and rest. I love the way they arranged things, very comfy, very cold, and spacious. All of the crews there show genuine concern and care for the customers. This is a perfect place for studying working or just for chit chat. I love the place! Thank you!

Espresso based coffee needs improving through retraining on extraction techniques. Service was lacking friendliness this visit; unusual for this neighborhood. The essence of a cafe experience begins with a beverage and continues beyond the cup. As we were leaving we brought our cups and saucers to the front, and the staff just pointed to the bus bucket as if we were an inconvenience to them. The experience left a bad taste in our mouth, literally and figuratively. It was a cold feeling for what is meant to be such a warm experience.

Cute coffee joint with plenty of seating and a modern industrial vibe serving up freshly roasted Intelligentsia. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their single-origin selection, and recommended me a really nice seasonal blend. The pour-over was absolutely humongous (definitely a boon). Comfy and welcoming atmosphere, definitely coming back.

I really love this coffee shop because they have everything that I wanted, and its amazing because the staffs are so friendly and attentive. Everything here in this coffee shop was fantastic, including the service, and the most important thing is the taste of its coffee. I will surely come back here again someday. Thanks, everyone! Youre the best!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago.The nicest baristas (TIP THEM!!!) and the lox bagel is incredible. I always order a cappuccino and sprinkle raw sugar on top 😊Stop in for a drink, get some work done with their nice seating areas, LGBTQ FRIENDLY, and peaceful when you want to read a good book. Always coming back to this sweet spot.

They serve hand crafted tea/cocktail. They give you instructions on how to steep your tea. You can either have the drink on ice or hot. Its a nice afternoon pick me up. Big communal tables. My brother said he used to come here to study. Order at the counter and bus your own table. Great place to hang out.

Coffee lovers, continually in search of our next great cup.Ordered a cappuccino & an almond latte. Both were perfection! Both were balanced and the foam on the latte was so creamy and the cappuccino was perfect.We visit A LOT of coffee shops all across the country, this is one of our favs.

Located in Chicagos, Andersonville neighborhood... This is a really nice place to study or focus on work. Because its really quite and peaceful here as if youre in a library. However the prices are sort of ridiculous, about $5 just for a small drink.

One of the best coffee shops in Chicago. Coffee is real and excellent, not like other places that doesnt even know difference between cappuccino and macchiato. And all these negative reviews about how they do not allow eating your own food there is ridiculous, cause If you have little bit of common sense, you will understand that is very impolite to bring your own foo to place which is selling their own, even its coffee shop. Some ppl really does not know for better than Starbucks.

I’ve driven by numerous times but finally decided to try it today after seeing so many glowing reviews. It did not disappoint. Loved the Dolce Nitro Cold Brew and my apple and Brie flatbread was delicious. Excellent service from the baristas. Personally, I hope the limited free WiFi so many complain about was the standard everywhere. There are so many options for workspaces that cater to those that want to sit there doing work for hours while customers such as myself can’t stay and relax while enjoying our coffee.

Terrible experience. I realize things have. Changed because of the current pandemic, but, I am sorry it was weird. You walk in with a table barring the entrance and a greeting is yelled at you from about 15 feet. There was nothing displayed near my location about any of their offerings and I couldn’t read the menu because of distance. I ordered a generic black coffee. I was told to pay by credit card and put my card into a tiny credit card machine with no pricing information. Then someone yelled to me how tip I waned to add to the bill. I still don’t know what I paid for a coffee. There are other coffee options in the area, I will never go back there!

In this time of chaos, the Coffee Studio has adapted quickly to provide a SAFE and easy way to order and pick up food and drinks. The pastries and coffee remain of the highest quality. First cortado in six weeks and it was amazing.

I come here almost everyday for their special coffees. My favorite is the Spaniard, which is a Spanish latte with a splash of condense milk. The coffee is so smooth and silky with the condense milk. I usually dont add any sugar to my coffee. The condense milk was not overly sweet as I thought it would be.

Review №47

Love this café, Im not a caramel fan at all, but they will turn you into one. I mostly get their caramelatte, which I get nowhere else. They make the caramel in house and these little caramel candies come in some interesting (in a good way) flavors. My favorite is rosemary sea salt. Also, this is written mid-pandemic and thankfully theyre still in action, and still have those delicious little caramels. You should definitely ask for one, or 3 actually. I like to savor things so I take tiny bites and just let them slowly disintegrate. 3 lasts me a couple of weeks. I hope I can one day lounge around on my computer in theyre lovely café. Other random thing that I love, the bathrooms are marked human, which makes me feel a little more included, being in a bit of a strange gender category. Hope this weird review helps. If not, eh, my bad.

Great coffee! Great people! Great atmosphere! Granted Im a bit of novice when it comes to the subtleties of coffee and the brewing process but Im learning. I love their hand-crafted specialty coffees, prepared so meticulously that even I can tell the difference. The staff has been very friendly, down-to-earth, and more than willing to answer my coffee questions without talking down to me. Brought my daughter, a big latte fan, recently. She just fell in love with the place. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

I love this coffee shop! I get the Coldbrew black, no sugar. I say this because not only is it delicious but also so you know Im not the type to order Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and therefore help you to better consider the information in this review. I always have great service, everyone is very nice. I also feel like the decor and ambiance are amazing. I mostly just stop in for coffee and continue with my day, however it looks like a great place to linger.

Great little spot to enjoy premium roasted coffee and teas. Ive never been disappointed with the service staff or the impeccable cleanliness of the Coffee Studio either. Theyre bakery is always unique and distinctively tasty while fresh. The bathrooms speak volumes about the cleanliness and they are always perfect! The countertop areas are impeccable and always cleaned regularly. I believe the staff person at the counter cleaned the surface are by the cash register twice while we were seated. The local crowd of patrons are pleasant and are neighborhood friendly folks without attitude. Their internet services have consistently operated effectively and reliably. The outdoor side tables and seating make for a pleasant outdoors dimension for the space...weather permitting. The parking leaves something to be desired...but the ambiance and quality product of The Coffee Studio far makeup for the only inconvenience I could observe. Definitely check out this place for your needs. My Blessings deservingly given with three solid winks😉😉😉😎🇨🇮

Had the best oat milk latte one day. The next day I ordered the same and had an allergic reaction to it. When I tasted it I asked the guy, a different barista than the day before, are you sure this is oat milk? It tasted a little like dairy. He reassured me but Im pretty sure he mixed it with cows milk or didnt wash out the steam pitcher before making my order. Sure enough I started having a reaction after I drove off. The best oat milk latte at least when its 100% oat milk anyway.

This coffee shop has great ambiance, it’s not too loud and there’s lots of seating. This would be a great spot to get work done but you only get 1 hour of WiFi. But I suppose if I had purchased another drink after my initial one I could’ve gotten another WiFi code.I ordered a hot cocoa here and it was very good. My friend got a coffee and said it was good too. I highly recommend this place.

The Coffee Studio is very close to where I live; so I was really excited to check it out. In other reviews, people commented on how unfriendly staff was; I didnt experience that.

My neighbor goes there religiously and my school buddies always talk about how they go there for study groups, so it must be good if people come back.

Its an average fancy coffee place, pretty full of itself and full of hipsters, but the coffee is good, strong, and the milk is well frothed. They dont do tasty flavorings like, say, Ipsento, but for a good, basic coffee it works. It seemed more like a place to sit with friends than to wit and work. They also sell lots of overpriced coffee accoutrements.
