The Latest Chicago Restaurant Openings, Summer 2023 - Eater Chicago

"The second outpost of Elevate Coffee, a five-year-old cafe in Northalsted known for specialty drinks like “crem bru-lattes” and Belgian mochas, opened in late May at 1325 W. Wilson Avenue. She and her co-owners, brother Nikola Zistakis and his partner Alexandra Evangelou, took over a former Heritage Coffee location and offer indoor seating, a walk-up window, and the same food and drink menus as the original cafe." - Naomi Waxman

Walked in here and immediately felt warm and welcome. The staff are friendly. Atmosphere is aesthetic and clean. I had one of their speciality drinks, an orange vanilla latte with oat milk. 5 stars from me.

Loved my tiramisu latte! I don't care for drinks served in to-go cups when you ask to stay; it changes the temperature of the drink and overall experience of being in a coffee shop.

An easy 5 stars. My latte was sooooo good- they have a variety of fun flavors - I opted for creme brûlée and am excited to come back and try others. They have a good amount of seating with outlets at all the seats which is a huge plus for working. The interior is super cute too!

Belgian mochas are SO GOOD! One of my TOP favorite places to get a dark chocolate mocha, it’s worth it! Very small but very sophisticated place to do studying etc.

Lattes were fine, but nothing special in an area where there are really exceptional choices nearby. The shop is in the local by of the building and didn’t seem like the type of place where I’d linger so much as grab and go.

Very quiet, ideal for work and study place. I loved coffee taste so much. It is not mainstream americano as other places, it has unique taste. It reminds me of London coffee shops 🙂

It's mostly coffee, tea and donuts. They have a fabulous tea with ginger and mint... It is very small. Maybe that's why it's so quiet l o l

This was a highly recommended spot near our Airbnb and I was sadly disappointed. This drink tasted like cinnamon water and the glass was filled to the brim with ice, which may have been part of the issue. This was not coffee, it was water with cinnamon and a tablespoon of cold brew and horchata. Maybe I ordered the wrong item but I know a cold brew is not supposed to be this watery.

Elevate Uptown is a great addition to the neighborhood. They have unique coffee options and a nice sized area to sit down and get work done with plenty of outlets. I believe it is within an apartment so you will have people coming in and out. When you come in the counter is directly to your right and the seating is to your left. I ordered their Horchata Coffee this time and it was okay. A little heavy on the cinnamon to the point it overpowered the coffee taste, but it wasn't terrible. I prefer their Milano Latte though and definitely recommend it. I also had a donut and it was soft and sweet. The staff were friendly and quick to serve the coffee which was great. The WiFi password is (or was): elevatecoffee

The staff was friendly, my latte was amazing, and super cute place inside! There isn't a ton of seating, but when I went that wasn't a problem. I liked studying in there, but someone came in talking to the staff who was very loud which made it a little tough. I wouldn't let this stop me from coming back. I really would not recommend getting the mozzarella and tomato panini. It just all around was not worth $13 at all. I would come back for the coffee and the vibe!

My Coffee Shop Preferences: Shops with space to do work; good parking; good WiFi; open during afternoon hours; NOT a coffee snob, but generally judges a shop by its black coffee unless a specialty item is hyped; won't judge a place by its food, which is usually made from somewhere else Pictures on Yelp were a bit misleading on the type of place it was--the name and professionally shot pictures gave me something a bit more upscale but in reality it's a simple neighborhood shop. Street parking was pretty accessible in the morning on Wilson. The Barista was pleasant and quick to make my drink. After reading so many reviews about the Horchata Cold Brew, I decided to try it out. Unfortunately, as someone who loves traditional horchata, it really doesn't hold up. It's not a bad beverage but the drink simply tastes like slightly sweet cold brew sprinkled with cinnamon on top. I could have probably supplemented it with milk to create the creaminess associated with horchata, but I'm only judging it for how it was presented. The space itself is somewhat small but not busy and has many outlets and tables to do work. However, within a few minutes, my WiFi disconnected and I couldn't find the network afterwards. If you're in the neighborhood, I think it's a nice local establishment but not particularly worth making the trek.

I came here the weekend they first opened as I was excited that the space quickly got filled again with another coffee shop after the last one closed. The staff here was very friendly - much friendlier than the staff from the last coffee shop. Coffee was fantastic and the little food bites we got from here was great! Love that they have the little walk-up window to order from as well. The inside has been transformed and feels much more modern than before - yet they still kept some of the classic elements. Glad to have Elevate in our neighborhood!

Worst coffee I've ever had, had to throw it out after a few sips. Got the salted caramel cold brew and it tasted like ocean water mixed with Cheap coffee. The barista was super sweet though and the walk up is a cool concept.

Elevate is one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. They always have a great selection of standard/seasonal drinks and their breakfast sandwiches are yummo! Ordering online is easy, but they also have a cute, cozy indoor area that has a few tables if you want to enjoy your coffee inside. The barista is also great!
