The Best Coffee Shops & Cafes In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Coffee Lab & Roasters in Lakeview takes their coffee seriously. They roast their coffee and espresso on-site, and offer a variety of specialty drinks like Kyoto-style cold brew or a pear-and-yuzu latte if straight-up black coffee isn’t your speed—though it is exceptionally smooth and low on bitterness. We wouldn’t recommend posting up with a laptop unless you can handle sitting on benches for long stretches of time, but the quiet atmosphere makes it the perfect place to have a low-key coffee catch-up with a friend." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

I’m forever searching for really good local roasted coffee beans so we finally got to Coffee Lab and so far it’s high on my list. I like that the two times we’ve been (just after Christmas and then on a Saturday) their supply of beans was limited- they don’t sit around too long. I did get to take home a bag of Rawanda beans which were so good. The lattes and cappuccino are excellent.

Absolutely loving the summer menu. Their cold brew selection is unmatched with 3-4 different brews on tap at all times. The peach co-ferment is so unique and delicious. I have a super hard time picking between that and the iced honey mango latte. The honeydew matcha is also great, disclaimer; I do tend to like sweet and fruity syrups mixed with my matcha so if that’s your preference it’s perfect. It’s the best neighborhood spot with the nicest baristas!

I got the salted maple latte and I really enjoyed it! I would probably get a different flavor next time tbh (the salted maple had a strong cinnamon flavor), but the actual beans were high quality and not too bitter! Definitely a more busy place and limited seating, so be prepared for that if you plan to do work here :)

Good vibes and great drinks! A post online lead me to stop by for one of their 'Summer Specialty Drinks' a Vanilla Pistachio Matcha! It's was soo delicious I was chewing the ice for the last bit of flavor 🤣

Incredible coffee, roasted in store (I think), with a casual atmosphere that doesn't reek of corporate brand guide like so many competitors. Stumbled upon this bean-tavern halfway through an adventure and the cold brew was excellent. Limited seating and well traveled

Awesome little coffee shop that has core espresso drinks, matcha, brewed coffee, and a rotating seasonal menu with great options. Also has a nice selection of café food options. Everyone is always nice, and it’s a very popular place. My girlfriend considers it the best matcha she’s had in Chicago! Has indoor tabled seating, some bar seating by the front window, and also a small patio space with some tables.

Iced matcha, lemon loaf, and peak summer vibes Throwing it back to sunny days in Lakeview and my first time trying Coffee Lab & Roasters,the kind of neighborhood café that instantly pulls you in. Between the bright, airy space, the pastry case calling my name, and that perfectly iced matcha, this stop was everything I want in a summer coffee moment. I grabbed a creamy iced matcha paired with a gluten-free lemon loaf that was soft, moist, and perfectly citrusy -- light, refreshing, and just sweet enough. Simple, comforting, and such a win for anyone looking for great gluten-free options that don't feel like a compromise. the service inside is so helpful and they're all so amazing!!! Coffee Lab & Roasters has that easy summer energy with quality drinks, fresh pastries, and a cozy neighborhood vibe that makes you want to linger. Definitely a Lakeview spot worth revisiting!

Coffee Lab is a small but cozy spot that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The roastery is right inside the shop, so the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air--it's one of the first things you notice. There's plenty of street parking nearby, which makes it an easy stop. The space itself is on the smaller side, but the high stools by the window looking out toward the street create a nice, relaxed vibe where you can sip and people-watch. Service is warm and attentive, and the coffee delivers. The flat white stood out--smooth, balanced, and prepared just right. It's a simple place, but that adds to its charm: nothing overdone, just good coffee in a comfortable setting.

I go out of my way just to get their matcha! Every time I go, it's the same color, consistency, and sweetness. I'm really sad that desert honey dew matcha is a seasonal flavor they offer pretty standard pastry and baked goods staff is friendly, however it seems like no matter what time you go during the week it's busy! You can snag a seat if you're lucky, but I would just grab and go as the space is small yet clean and well maintained. They also have outdoor patio seating, one table is shaded

Great service and food/drink. A smaller coffee roaster nestled inbetween homes and other establishments. It provides a cherry and intimate ambience. The vanilla pistachio matcha is not overpowering by any means. Very smooth, flavorful, and addictive. The quiche is a very solid choice if you want something more savory. There are spots inside to talk and study as well as a small patio.

Cute coffee shop with excellent matcha and coffee! They have a lot of different speciality lattes and matcha drink options as well!

Ordered their latte with macadamia milk, and it was my first time! Subtly sweet and flavorful, better than oatmilk. I can't judge coffee based on lattes but their service was quick despite the line, and room is kind of tight but still a fair amount of seating inside, and three round tables outside. Bathroom was clean and nice as well :)

Cute little coffee shop in the neighborhood. Very friendly staff. The line moves quickly. Matcha and coffee options. I would go here over a chain any day! Most importantly - they have Phlour chocolate chip cookies and that keeps me coming back!

We checked out this coffee shop last weekend and ordered 2 vanilla lattes from here. The baristas were kind and the service was quick. Our lattes were just okay, the milk to espresso to syrup proportions just tasted off. Despite that, there was plenty of seating inside and I could see this being a great place to work from during the week.

I went to Coffee Lab + Roasters today for the first time and it was great! The parking situation was easy which is so appreciated in the city. I ordered the (I think it was called) Hot Butter Latte and it was so, so good. I normally only get iced coffee and don't like hot beverages but this coffee truly blew me away. It was smooth and honestly felt like an internal hug. My fiancé ordered the Cafe Au Lait and also enjoyed his. Highly recommend this spot and can't wait to come back again!

The baristas were friendly. I had the Iced Pearadise Latte, although I didn't get much of the pear flavor it was still sweet and creamy. It was my first time visiting and thought it was very well decorated. I definitely want to come back and try their other lattes.

I have been frequenting this intimate, cozy coffee shop since they first opened. Over the years and even with change of ownership, quality and service remains excellent. Baristas are friendly and recall repeat customer orders. The seating space is limited but there is seasonal outdoor seating. Love that you can pick from the daily rotation of light, medium or dark roasts, iced or hot. I gravitate towards the smooth Mexican (medium) blend and always grab a pastry or quiche to go (sourced from phflour bakery - no brainer). This place is always busy despite the three competing coffee shops nearby. They have built a solid following over the years! Love supporting independent coffee shops in the hood.

This place is great. I'm shocked none of the other reviews mentioned dog friendly as everyone in line here had a dog with them which you don't see often and they were giving out dog treats. The drinks were delicious and they have the custom options im accustomed to ( sugar free vanilla syrup , milk alternatives such as almond, soy, oat etc). Large visible roasting room in the back proves they are the real deal. Sweets/ treats look good and love they have a variety of gluten free options from defloured ( this you don't typically see at small places ! ). Hours are a little limited 7-1 but frankly I don't allow myself to drink coffee in the afternoon so not a problem for me. Adequate cute seating space with 5 tables if you want to stay and enjoy your drink. I'll be back !

TLDR - great drinks and service, not a lot of tables, short hours, and chairs were decent! So it's my spring break so I wanted to change it up and go somewhere I don't regularly go. Looking at the map, this place popped up and based on what I saw in photos there were chairs with back support so I'm in. Note they're only open to 1pm, which is a bummer for the non-morning people like myself. I get there and it's such a lovely space. The staffers were great and my iced chai latte was so lovely. I was nervous I wouldn't find seating but thankfully a table opened up right when I got there so I had a seat. The chairs are actually the same Ikea chairs I have at home lol. They also provide thin mats for the seating - not super helpful but a thoughtful gesture! I also didn't use any electronics but note they have so many plugs everywhere, which is great. The chairs too while they were pretty good are just ok (the hard backs don't feel good over time) but I can manage for like an hour or so before my back needing to leave the chair. In all, I'll be coming back! When I'm in the morning spirit ;-)

Small mom and pop shop comes highly recommended. Cafe latte did the business. Baked goods on offer. Not a lot of comfy/cozy seating but do you want coffee or not? Super friendly proprietors. Coffee prices slightly above average.

They are the best place to get fresh roasted beans in Chicago their coffees are delicious and worth the price. I love that you still get a complementary drink when you buy a bag of beans. I definitely come here when I am running low also a great place to get some fantastic iced coffee

Tried the Ginger Snap latte but just tasted like a coffee with milk. The pumpkin chocolate muffin was yummy. Their online ordering system is quite odd as you can't order more than 4 coffees. Wouldn't try again

Cute coffee shop along Lincoln Ave! It's a fairly small shop -- there are 6 tables indoors and then a bar table that looks out the window. I appreciate that the tables were wider rather than deep and there were power strips with 3-4 outlets each, so you won't have to worry about all the outlets being used. It was a little pricier than other coffee shops (maybe due to inflation)... I got a cappuccino with lavender syrup and the syrup was really good -- it was very floral and not overly sweet.

Alex K.

Yelp
Decent coffee shop. The coffee was pretty good but the real reason for coming here was to work and the WiFi is crap. Also it's a pretty tiny space. PLUS the latte was over $6 which a little too high for what you get

I really love this place! I've been trying to find a coffee shop that has really good matcha, and this place for sure has it. Some of their syrups are also house-made! The ambiance is always great, the baristas play great music, and they are really nice. Such a great location, it's super close to DePaul and is a great place to study and get work done.

Had to hop on here and write a review after trying the Honey Mango Iced Latte. It very well may have been the best iced latte I've ever had in my life. Staff is super nice at this place and the vibes are good. You get a free drink when you buy beans, which makes the trip to buy beans exciting when I need to refill my own home espresso setup! After trying dozens of shops over the years I can finally say that this is my favorite coffee shop in Chicago!

I have been following them on Instagram for a month and I decided to check it out. I love going to different coffee shops in the city and seeing how different they are from Starbucks. Coffee Lab and Roaster are located in Diversey and Lincoln. I like the design of the coffee shop. Black and white are very bright and have a farm-style feel about them. The menu is simple and easy to read which is great. I got the iced coffee (my usual or cold brew if I want extra caffeine) and a blueberry muffin. The iced coffee and blueberry muffin was good. The service from the 2 young ladies (baristas) were friendly and greeted every customer that came in. From what I tell lots of regulars come here and I see why. Enough seating inside and I small outdoor seating too. Also, they roast all their beans on-site which is good and I can taste how quality of the beans. I live in Edgewater and they are a couple of coffee shops in my neighborhood coming here is worth the trip.

Very poor experience. I ordered a pour over, and they obviously didn't have the skill or experience to make it correctly. I watched the barista fiddle with the grinder for 10 minutes (not an exaggeration), before figuring out how to grind the coffee. Then he pulled out a set of instructions for making a pour over, which was not a good sign. Then, as he was making it, he accidentally turned off the scale. This was 15 minutes into the process. He told me his mistake and said he'd start over, but it had already taken too long. I asked if I could just have a cup of light-roast drip coffee, but they were out of that. So, I just said, "forget it," and left. They were very busy, and I couldn't wait another long period of time to get my refund. I could tell the coffee wasn't going to be good and didn't feel like waiting around for a sh*tty cup of coffee. Maybe the espresso-based drinks are good, but this is not a place to go if you want a competent pour over.

Oh my lavender. See, the best thing about living in Chicago are places like these. Millennial/Gen Z owned, relative, fun and an overall great environment. I was actually heading to get a bagel from the place next door but the Coffee Lab & Roasters' storefront was super inviting I just had to go in. The menu is simple yet somewhat unique. I got the Lavender Latte (hot) and if I lived close by, I would never get Starbucks ever again. It was one of (if not) THE BEST lattes I've ever had. I've been drinking and experimenting with coffee all over the world ever since I was 15 years old, so when a drink leaves a mark like that, you know it's THAT good. I was in such a rush I forgot to pick up one of their coffee bags but I'll definitely be getting some next time I come here. The coffee is delicious. I highly recommend you try this spot! They have cozy indoor and also outdoor seating.

Judging solely on the coffee, this place is a coffee drinker's haven. Prices are very reasonable as well, similar to Starbucks but much higher quality. Not only can you order different styles of coffee, you can also choose your beans and blends. I got the Brazilian cold brew, and it was one of the best cold brews I've ever had. I'll definitely be back to try more!

Looking for an aesthetic and trendy coffee shop- LISTEN UP HERE IT IS. My friend and I stopped in to grab drinks and work and let me tell you, it's a total vibe. The decor screams millennial plant mom with an IKEA decor obsession. The music is at a great volume and plays great new music. An iced lavender oat milk latte and croissant ran me about $12 but I think it was def worth it. Croissant was super flakey and latte was the perfect level of sweetness. They also have free wifi so you can be productive while fueling your coffee needs.

I love how convenient this coffee shop is in relation to my house! The coffee and snacks are very good. I visited for the first time on a Saturday at 1 PM and it was completely packed with nowhere to sit. Obviously, this does happen at a lot of coffee shops, but Coffee Lab, in particular, is extremely small. There are 2 circle high tables (very small circumference), 4 square tables, 2 comfy chairs with a little nightstand-like table, and 4 high chairs at a bar that outlooks the window. Overall, not a lot of seating. I had the Lavender Latte with oat milk, which was very good, but too strong for me personally. Also, the honey bites were SO tasty! They reminded me of french toast with honey and whipped cream. Sidenote: you CAN order a half order of the honey bites ($3.50) rather than getting 12 pieces which was too much for me. The environment is very inviting/cozy, they offer free iced water (huge plus!), and it was decently quiet. The music playing wasn't too loud unless you were sitting at the table right under the speaker (we were)... but overall the music genre was not to my taste. Overall, due to the proximity, I will probably be back, but it sucks there isn't much seating.

went here today for the second time and, yay, what a positive experience! i will definitely be back to try a non-specialty drink. i am usually a plain cortado guy, but i just couldn't resist their really special seasonal options. the first time i visited, it was late afternoon and so i got (i think) a honeydew matcha and some sort of savory pastry. both were delightful. this time, i got a maple sage latte and a danish. again, both delightful! i came in during a pretty big rush, but the staff were still all sooo nice. the person working the register was super efficient without sacrificing politeness. i did not catch their name but they had shorter dark hair and bangs. latte was made really well, too, so shoutout to whichever barista made it. it's a little on the pricier end, but a touch less expensive than some of its neighbors. for the neighborhood, i think it's reasonable. overall, a total winner. kind of makes me wish i was in lakeview more often.

This is the first place where I have ever been able to differentiate the quality of the cold brew! When you order cold brew, there are 4 different types you can choose from. I got the Brazil with oat milk and it was so smooth, and not bitter. I love coffee but not usually to the level where I can tell that some coffee is better than others. However, if I lived near here and could choose this cold brew every day, I would. They also have such unique, yummy-sounding seasonal lattes: peach cobbler latte, coconut mocha, honey mango latte. My friend got the honey mango and while an unusual flavor combination, it was actually really good! You could really taste fresh mango and it was pretty sweet. I wish I could come back here and try all the drinks!

We stopped by Coffee Lab & Roasters having been told of a 30 minute wait time for Batter & Berries nearby for brunch. We were pleasantly surprised at such a minimalist, modern cafe nearby. This location seems to do some lovely pourover coffee, but I opted for a cortado for my first time. I am one of those people that drink their beverages in minute sips, enjoying it gradually over time. With this cortado, I found the flavors just robust enough but still immensely smooth. Absolutely delicious and no sugar needed. The ambiance here is very calm, and I can imagine working for hours at a time at this cozy location. Balanced with raw wood and cream colors, the space feels very clean and bright - perfect for a workspace. The only difficulty I could possibly think of is that seating might be an issue if you arrive during a hectic hour. However, the cafe uses their space very economically, so I imagine most times you could grab a chair (as long as you don't mind sharing counterspace with someone else). There's also some lovely window bar seating should you come by yourself. The staff was really kind and personable. Our drinks were ready in a matter of seconds. Highly recommend to the coffee connossieurs in the area!

The service was wonderful. Lively and friendly staff. All the neighbors came through and staff already new their orders and name and stories. By the steady flow of regulars, I'd say it's a solid coffee joint.

Was in the area having brunch at Batter & Berries with my fiancé. Usually not too particular about getting coffee at brunch places and I saw Coffee Lab was just down the street so we decided to stop in after eating. I got a Kyoto cold brew while my fiancé went with the honey butter iced latte. Loved both our drinks! The Kyoto cold brew was nice to have 4 different options of roast to pick from. I went with the Brazilian medium-dark roast. Just the perfect boldness. I tried my fiancé's honey butter iced latte and the honey added the subtle sweetness but the buttery note was just added that silky rich taste :chefs kiss: Definitely found my new coffee spot whenever I'm in Lakeview. Looking forward to trying all their different roasts and other drinks!

This place just opened, but I'm excited to welcome them to the neighborhood. Great lattes, expertly roasted coffee (roasted on site!) and a delicious chocolate almond croissant. What more could I ask for? How about friendly service- they have that too. I'll be back to try out their breakfast sandwiches.

A cute coffee shop with quality beans, a nice seating area, and the roaster on site (so you know it's fresh!) I ordered a cold brew which was delicious, but wish it came with a little less ice.

Mochas are smooth, full bodied and rich. The owner is usually on-site pulling espresso herself. They roast the beans in house. ..now that's quality control. Nice assortment of pastries to choose from too. Not the best layout to comfortably get work done, but perfect to grab a nice coffee or chatting with friends.
