Tried to walk in around 2:30 & was immediately told it was closed. However, the hours of operation in the window said it closes at 4 pm on Saturdays. May want to be better about letting people know your hours have changed.

Cozy coffee spot with some great drink and pastry options worth checking out. The chocolate orange brioche was tasty and felt seasonally appropriate. Good variety of seating options, nice light and fun music!

VIGO Coffee in Lakeview is a hidden gem that’s quickly become my go-to spot for a chill vibe and top-notch coffee. I grabbed their horchata latte and it was a game-changer—smooth, just the right amount of sweet, and the cinnamon hit perfectly. Paired it with a chocolate orange brioche, which was flaky and had this zesty kick that balanced the richness. The space is bright with big windows, making it ideal for working or people-watching. They even have a semi-private conference room you can reserve for free, which is clutch for meetings or focused work sessions. The staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about their craft. All in all, I spent around $10, and it was worth every penny.

The Cafe de Olla coffee and the chocolate orange brioche were both quite delicious. The location is spacious and the barista was friendly and helpful.

This place has lovely lighting and a great chai latte—super spicy and not very sweet. The croissant tasted like day old on a Sunday at 11 and they didn’t head it up until we deemed it inedible without warming up (if yours not baking in house then all croissants need to be warmed up). The smoothie was also a glass of milk. So given this whole experience 3 stars feels fair.

I purposely stopped by this coffee shop today and appreciated the free street parking and convenient location. However, the space lacked coziness, with a cluttered corner and a menu board covered in tape and handwritten ‘out of stock’ signs, giving it an unpolished look.
The sofa was uncomfortable due to its deep seating, and the strong sunlight made the space uncomfortably warm. The overwhelming pastry smell was also a bit much. When the barista handed me my coffee, he spilled some but didn’t bother to clean it up. He was nice but slow to address the situation.
I wanted to like this place, but it fell short of expectations.

I lovedd visiting this coffee shop! There was a clean and pleasant atmosphere with plenty of seating. The counter seats were comfortable and you get a great view for people watching. I tried the vanilla bourbon iced latte and my life has been completed, I also tried their hot matcha latte and while I'm not the biggest matcha fan it was definitely one of the best matcha lattes I've tried. Hope I can find the time to visit again soon! ?

I really like Vigo coffee. First, their drinks taste good. That’s important. Second, they do not charge extra for alternate milk selections. I just prefer the taste of oat milk so it’s nice not to pay a dollar extra like other places. Third, they have pictures of dogs all over the walls! Fourth, it’s an inviting place to study with a lot of natural light and a decent amount of seating for the size of the shop. Fifth, they let me use a reusable cup so I can cut my plastic waste down a bit.
Overall, I think people should give them a try. The people there are super cool and are always friendly with me.
I only payed about 6 bucks for a 16oz iced latte. In Chicago, that’s amazing!
Thanks for the tatsy coffee beverage, Vigo and staff!!
Spacious restaurant, cute and friendly owner, fast service, delicious coffee.

Loved the spot and my Iced Horchata latte.
Plenty of seating and outlets. Brightly lit coffee shop to fight the Monday blues.
Will be back to try other coffee options!

Great WFH spot with plenty of tables and outlets. I got the aged maple latte and thought it was just ok- a little watered down for my taste. The center of the chocolate orange brioche was good but it could’ve been a little less dry. They have a vast menu of breakfast and lunch options so it’s a great place to spend your day.
