Drip Collective

Where else can you get your coffee ,pastry your breakfast sandwich from the chubby boys pop-up and the cutest bouquet of flowers arranged before your eyes while listening to a DJ? The drip collective, of course. There was a line so I waited maybe 20 minutes from outside the store until I was able to make my order inside. I love the eclectic vibe from the hand chairs, the high stools to the skateboard deck seats and this modular seating that was up against the wall. The breakfast sandwich was a do not miss so flavorful, egg is so fluffy it gives the Kasama equivalent a run for its money in my opinion .My favorite drinks are the Matcha, they have strawberry thing I had the last time the barista suggested it so good but I did not get the name with macadamia milk and they have this Ube latte. And there is a table that you can use as a workstation if need be pray for yourself.

This space is great for hanging out with friends, and the drinks and food are amazing. I recommend the ube latte with oak milk and the strawberry matcha latte. Both are very flavorful and the matcha tastes great. The drinks were made very fast, and there’s plenty of seating. The space is inviting, and good for if you’d like to get work done, but note that the music is a bit loud and it gets busy. Overall, I truly recommend it for its unique drink flavors.

Well curated space in West Loop. I ordered the ube latte, one with espresso and one with matcha. I found them to be too bitter for my tastes but the barista was kind enough to sweeten the drink to my liking! Spacious interior and good spot to pass time

I’m a regular here! I love their Ube Latte . The staff are amazing and make the most amazing drinks ever! Just look at my bunny :-) more fun is that if you missed the DJ in the weekend nightclubs you can catch them here on Saturdays and Sundays starting from 12. They also play Cartoons by projector on the wall! How cool is that. Now I’m regretting to write this review cause the line is going to get even longer !

Really good vibes and decor give this coffee spot a great atmosphere to work, study, or socialize. Solid selection of specialty drinks as well as pour overs and drip coffee. There is a separate shop inside doing hot food as well.

Great space with even better coffee and food! We had been to side practice before and wanted to support their other location. The Chubby Boys partnership is also fuego! Definitely try their breakfast sandwich. Loving the Filipino owned business supporting other Filipino-American entrepreneurs. They feature various artists on their walls, etc. this is also a great place to work with various seating options. And the vibes are great - great music flowing as we enjoyed our breakfast.

Unlike any coffee shop I’ve experienced. Love the integration of artwork, music, media, and, of course, coffee / bites. Big fan of the ube latte, but there are so many creative and delicious options worth exploring. Earlier visit was on a cold Saturday morning. Enjoyed seeing a bustling environment with dope music and delicious coffee to warm the bones. More recently walked over on a sunny April late morning and enjoyed a delicious iced cold brew (made to order) with vanilla and oat milk. Tacked on a ham and cheese quiche. Excellent all around. Cheers to the Drip!

Coolest coffee spot in the West Loop. Loved the cups they use for the iced to-go drinks. Super tasty weird pastry menu! The chocolate cookie was amazing! imo, too sweet horchata, however, the iced coffee was so good. Nice music, probably a bit too loud, but nice soap/lotion in the W.C.

I adore Filipino flavors, so Drip Collective was right up my alley. The Turon w/ matcha was stupendous--100% worth the $9. Food-wise, I ordered the chickpea chorizo burrito from Chubby Boys. Delish! I'd order again and again. Note that this is not the place to be in a rush, and it's worth the wait!

I got the hot turon with matcha, as the barista kindly recommend! The banana milk is unfortunately only available in dairy form, but it's very good. It initially may taste like a fairly sweet matcha latte, but the banana flavor really brings out both the matcha flavor and the sweetness. This place has WiFi, but it's not a great place to work or study. The music is very upbeat, full of bass, and loud, which makes a club like atmosphere. A few people had their laptops out, and no one would bother you, but the place is clearly not designed for it. Much better place to have a nice social event. The bathroom was very clean, and I liked their flattering mirror (warm backlit light!). However, this place is very busy, and a single bathroom might not be enough. They also have books, which are available for purchase. I'm not sure how often the menu changes, but they posted one on their Instagram (@drip.collectivechi), so check it out before going if you want to see the offerings.

I love a good breakfast sandwich so that's what initially brought me in! I did like their sandwich but I wish they had a better aioli to pair with it than just the mayo! I also tried the banana milk which was yummy but I will say they are not consistent with their drinks here. My friend and I both ordered the banana milk and hers tasted way different... in a bad way.... They were quite busy the day we stopped by so we didn't ask them remake her drink for her.

I was too late for breakfast and didn't have too much time to stick around, but the list of interesting/unique drinks was long and my latte was delicious so I'll have to come back again for sure! There's a florist in the back, though I'm not sure if they do pickups only or if you can pick something up last minute. There was also a DJ spinning music and lots and LOTS of people hanging out and taking selfies. Definitely the place to be. Service was also friendly and the baristas were very detail oriented and focused on getting through the rush. Yes, I'll definitely be back earlier in the morning next time.

What a cool interior! Vibes are immaculate, and I instantly wished I was dressed better when I stepped inside. Whoever put together the furniture pieces has an insane eye for design. There's limited seating in terms of being able to sit down and work, but otherwise you can just come here for a nice time. Drinks are on the pricier side, but they're worth the price! I got the banana milk latte, and you could taste the banana in it (was thinking it'd be the Korean milk that's popular). It paired really well the matcha and espresso, so would recommend the drink!

I absolutely loved this coffee shop! Prices are a little steep but quality is 1000/10, some of the most unique and delicious specialty lattes I've ever had. We showed up 10 minutes before opening to a line already formed (I think this was because of the chubby boys breakfast pop up). When we entered, there was a DJ playing, a clothing thrift pop up in the back, and such cool art on the walls! I'd been wanting to try the banana milk latte ($10) and it did not disappoint. This was so flavorful and delicious with so much depth to it. I tried my friend's hojicha drink and it was also amazing, would totally order that next time too. On to the breakfast sandwich ($15) .... No notes it's delicious and worth the hype! The seating is so fun in here too, really unique atmosphere but definitely get there early before the line gets too long!

Updated review! I went back with my dog, and saw no signs of the place not being dog friendly. They let me order, said they do not allow dogs and I should wait outside for my order, and they will bring me my order. I wish they told me this before I ordered because I got food, but whatever! 20 minutes go by no one's came out. Another 10 go by I look in the window, they apologize they had forgotten about me. They either need to put a sign on door saying no dogs, or tell me before I order. a 30 minute wait outside in the rain was rough, i would have just gone somewhere else! coffee was amazing though. i got the banana milk iced. it had espresso and matcha. the breakfast sandwich was amazing. i would get again and again!

The space has a cool concept, but definitely a place to go with friends/socialize instead of WFH. The drinks were just okay - the hojicha with oat milk was watered down/not creamy enough and the hojicha itself was subtle. The banana matcha seems to be very popular - wasn't a fan of it because of the strong artificial banana essence flavor. Highlight for me was the limited edition cheesesteak from Chubby Boys, the bulgogi and cheese were well-seasoned. Workers are very friendly!

Gave this coffee shop a try, and the latte itself was pretty good! However the wait for it was almost an hour. The inside is super cool though, lots of seating, accessible bathroom, and a chill place to get some work done. Don't think I will be coming back unless I have extra time to wait.

We've been here 4 times. Tried their ube latte, sesame latte, pourovers and espresso tonic. They were all good but pretty pricey. They are consistently good, which is important for a coffee shop, but nothing super special. The vibes are friendly but give you that "cool" distance feel. I think if you are in the neighborhood this is worth trying.

This place is unique, although it did take 20 minutes for a latte, and a drip coffee it was unique. It has Ube lattes, and Kanin on the weekend. Kanin has a delicious menu of Filipino Hawaiian Masubi. They also have Chubby Boy, haven't had it yet but it all seems good.

Definitely one of the coolest coffee shops I've been in. I love the vibe and their giant projector showing old school cartoons. The matcha is pretty solid but $10 is a pretty steep price tag. Service was pretty good as well. I can see myself coming back but not on a daily basis.

Walked 20 minutes to have coffee here with my dog and the barista asked me to wait outside because there is no pets allowed. It says both on yelp and Apple Maps that pets are welcome? We would not have came here had we known.

The ambience was a low key vibes with chill music playing. They used a projected to show an anime show on the wall. The wall art was by a Filipino American displaying peace signs. Multiple Filipino inspired drinks and donuts. The Spiced Ube Latte reminded me of a chai latte with ube mix and espresso.

A great addition to the West Loop. The coffee is great. I usually go for an iced oat milk vanilla latte, and they make one of my favorites. The vanilla is homemade and so delicious. I do want to try some of their specialty flavors. It can be really loud in here when they have a DJ. Plenty of people chatting and catching up with friends. Staff keeps the drinks coming out fast and are always pleasant.

Beautiful airy atmosphere, cool artwork. The specialty lattes all look high quality ($10+) and the iced ones are given in a very cool looking metallic cup that can be reused I believe. It's probably a little too loud for studying or reading since hip hop was blasting at 11am but I can definitely see myself chilling here to just enjoy the vibes and catching up with a friend. The latte I had was great! Each drink was meticulously made and the barista took their time with each order so it gave me the feeling of drinking a craft cocktail

Excited to explore a new coffee spot in the West Loop, I decided to check out Drip Collective--and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is effortlessly cool, with an open layout and lively music setting the vibe. While it might not be the ideal spot for intense work sessions due to the music, it's perfect for catching up with a friend. I opted for an ice Ube latte and paired it with a raspberry bar. The Ube latte was served in a sleek reusable aluminum cup (do NOT put it in the dishwasher or microwave) , which was a nice touch, and both treats were absolutely delicious. The staff members were friendly and laid-back, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for more!

Long wait + loud music, would recommend taking it to go but it was such a vibe! Ube latte very yummy.

This was my first time here and unfortunately I came too late for their summer Ube Horchata! I ended up going with their fall specialty matcha! Overall the taste was really nice, the fruitiness mixed with the matcha gave it was really nice flavor! The shop itself was clean and offered a variety of seating options! The drink itself was around $10 before tip, which I thought was a bit steep considering the size but I like their creative takes on well known drinks!

Great vibes at this local coffee shop. Very busy on a Saturday morning but the staff did a great job of taking care of everyone! Great music being played while enjoying your coffee. Interior has plenty of seating and great artwork as well. Probably one of the most inventive coffee houses you will visit 5 Pro tip: bar seating allows you to watch Sando's being prepared.

Cool concept for a coffee shop. I was pleased with the variety of their menu and would come back to try more. Not a fan of the seating arrangement, not welcoming for a longer stay.

Visited here on a Friday afternoon during their pizza pop up! The cafe has a unique design and decor with great music! There was a the pizza pop up the day that I visited so I was able to try that out as well and it was so delicious and fresh! Theie choice of coffee is also very different than a regular cafe. They're special and unique flavor. Def Worth trying in west loop

The coffee was really good - the reason for 3 stars is the seating area was dirty - like it hadn't been wiped down in a long time! And we were there when they opened which means it was all from yesterday!

Love the ambiance and art collection here. The drinks are good they even have different flavors like ube and pandan. I really like how there is a place to study and it has such good lighting where the sun just shines in. The people are so nice.

Coffee was flavorful and had a very good aroma. Service was good and hosts were nice. Ambiance is energetic, but chill. Definitely would go back.

Cool coffee place in west loop with free street parking and local artwork. Plenty of seating to hang out with a friend, but wouldn't recommend for working if you don't like loud music. I had the pandan coconut latte ($10). It was good, but a bit too sweet for me, and came in a reusable cup.

The prices are a bit high but I think the quality of the coffee and portion sizes are worth it. I'm originally from California so I went to this shop while visiting Chicago and I definitely want to come here again!

Pros: great coffee and vibey place Cons: not dog friendly and unfortunately guy taking coffee order was not friendly

Very disappointing. Barista forgot the milk we asked for in both our drinks. There was really overpowering incense burning (in a place that serves food?). None of the food was labeled- what looked like a pumpkin muffin was actually extremely spicy(???) - even a heads up would have been nice. Coffee was mid as well. I get loud music in coffee shops, but this was almost nightclub level volume as well. I think they just need to go back to the drawing board.

Very loud music. Barista smoking outside. Coffee selection is unfortunately only very high end. I like that stuff, but it just felt like Purple Llama but less inviting. Matcha tonic was delicious and espresso was perfectly prepared.

saw a tiktok that this recently opened and decided to impulsively go. i ordered the iced ube latte and pandan latte which was about $12 per latte, which is kinda expensive but worth it imo because their cups are aluminum/reusable and you can bring it back for a $1 discount on your next drink. customer service was great, employees were helpful on the drinks, and the vibes are nice might have to make this my go to study coffee shop!

Visiting this place was the worst experience I've had anywhere in the west loop. Upon entering the store i was approached by a staff member and I was asked to chain my service animal outside. I notified the staff member I was accompanied by my service animal to which I was then asked to present my paperwork. That is a major violation of HIPAA, I told this to the staff member and I was very rudely told I was wrong and if I didn't present my paperwork my service animal was not allowed inside. Its very indicative of the staff, management and ownership that they are all incorrect of their understanding of the law and on top of that they are confidently rude to a paying customer. While waiting for my order I was approached by a second staff member who told me my order would be packaged to go as they typically dont allow animals inside the store. I will be filing a complaint with ADA of Chicago through the Department of Justice as this business does not satisfy ADA accessibility and is not HIPAA compliant. Its clear based on how rude the staff were that they have a heightened sense of entitlement and are blissfully ignorant inside of their Urban Outfitters themed coffee shop.
