13 Best Coffee Roasters in Chicago

“My Saturday rest day go to delivery! Best iced mocha latte, empanada, and Cuban sandwich I've ever had... The beignets are also fantastic. 10/10 would recommend!“

“I’ve been to plenty of local coffee shops around Chicago and Sputnik is the absolute best. I stumbled upon this hidden gem a few years ago on my commute to work when they were on 51st. It’s been my almost daily stop since then. I’ve switched jobs a few months ago and a Sputnik pit stop adds an extra 20 min to my commute but it’s absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend a hot oat milk vanilla latte but anything you order will be amazing. They roast their own coffee, make their own flavored syrups, and they’ve done both right. The fresh pastries and growing food options have made Sputnik the best all around coffee shop. If you’re a coffee lover, DO NOT sleep on Sputnik.“

“This place is so cute, reasonable pricing, latte was delicious. But how are you going to serve caffeinated drinks and not allow customers to use the toilet? 😅 I’m actually not even sure that’s legal in IL- as far as I know, businesses are obligated to let customers use it for medical reasons, and they can’t ask why. So minus one star there. Great place but keep in mind you may be doing the fun run to Mariano’s, so not the best for elderly, kids, or anyone with a medical issue.“

“Clean welcoming environment! Staff is super cool and always pleasure to talk to!“

“Tried their flagship espresso (en masse) as a macchiato. Had some caramel notes and I was satisfied, but it was a bit too thin for milk, so just go for espresso. I also ordered their dark roast beans to make them at home, and they’re delicious.“

“Visited the biggest Starbucks Reserve in the world after visiting the one in Milan, Italy. Unfortunately bigger doesn't mean better. That stairway loop and that thing in between the stairs, takes away value space for this store. It's much smaller than it seems and the one in Milan, although smaller, it was much nicer and more comfortable to move around. Do try that coffee beans with whiskey, exclusive only in this location, pricey! But I think the price is worth it for the experience.“

“Best coffee we drank during our visit to Chicago. Really nice employees!!!“

“This place is keeping me awake and fresh to get me thru my workday! I love walking over for an afternoon Sportea and potato chips. My new fave go-to!“

“Amazing staff and very involved within the community, not to mention how great the coffee is. We love the delivery/ subscription options, and also love the variety to choose from.“

“The chocolate blueberry is the best ground coffee I’ve had and perfect for my French press.“

“Favorite Chicago coffee. Bold flavors, strong and I love the aroma from the cold brew especially. Your salted caramel is a gem.“

“Randomly found this cool coffee shop. Love the atmosphere with 2 floors, outdoor sitting and big open doors on second floor to feel like you are out doors. The almond croissants are very good. Will come back to try the other delicious pastries.“

“I really like the food and location. Our lovely greeter Jordan was so kind, and Justin took care of us ! He was very kind, and recommended really good food ! We can not wait to come back ! Would love to connect this location with my Nonprofit ! Thank you so much for the kind service and wonderful food.“
