The Drunken Bean has a solid cup o' Joe and their pastry case was very tempting. Cute environment too.

This place really hit the spot on our first visit to Chicago. The service was great and quick and the breakfast burrito was loaded with fresh ingredients and lots of delicious breakfast meats. Highly recommend for a quick and delicious breakfast.

Their quality of service and food has dropped in the recent times. I’ve been visiting them for the last 2 years. Even if there are 4 to 5 people in the line, they cut corners in service. They also never have enough breakfast items in stock, even early in the morning!

Amazing people and wonderful service. Truly impressed with everything.
Worked out of here with my friend the other day. Amazing vibe and great coffee. Ambiance was great. The only complaint is the cell signal is really bad inside (and that entire lakeshore east area)!

Loved hearing the live jazz, Wes Dziedzic, piano, Kat Sherman, vocals and having a relaxing, delicious casual dinner ❤️

I tried the cinnamon latte and it was delicious! If you don’t like very sweet beverages, you can let them know prior and they will use less sugar.
The place is very cute, plenty of seating inside and about 4 or 5 tables outside. Lovely view of the park.

Awesome cafe at the bottom of the Street Regis complex. Wifi and good seats and big selection of healthy options for a good start to the day. The breakfast burritos and oatmeal options are fab.

It doesn't cost anything to be polite, even when your cafe is busy. Not today apparently.
Captive audience in the area, but still expected better.

Solid cup of coffee, which is the important thing - expect a line, the staff are helpful but busy so please god almighty know what you want when you get to the counter
Beyond that, nothing remarkable, if it’s your closest coffee joint it’s a fine choice

A quiet nice place to go eat breakfast or hang out...the food and coffee are so good (dark coffee and salmon bagel was superb)...the service is fine to good no issues...such a cool place and the park across the street is an amazing place to hang and meditate...go check them out!

As I live just steps from this place, I really want to like it. It has the potential to be a great local's coffee spot...cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, local events, and good quality products - all great! Unfortunately, the place has become an unofficial dog park. Despite signage prohibiting non-service animals, it seems like this is widely ignored as there are usually several non-service type dogs inside the shop at any given time. I get that it is a touchy subject, but I wish they would enforce the "dog rule". Coffee shops and dogs just don't mix! Moreover, everything is simply overpriced - it is literally less expensive to get a coffee and pastry next door at the St. Regis!

Drink menu is really bad. Great location but coffee is horrendous.
