“The BEST coffee anywhere at a reasonable price.“

“Amazing coffee, wonderful employees, comfy atmosphere“

“Loved the food and coffee! Great place for a nice coffee in the afternoon or to work on your laptop. I tried the ham and cheese empanada, beignets, and Cuban sandwiches! The coffee was also great!“

“Excellent coffee and empanadas, delighted owners/staff, easy street parking. Support small and local!“

“loved everything about it!“

“MashAllah loved the place and the coffee ☕️ wow“

“Cool, crisp, clean and huge interior roastery. Fantastic cold brew - small pastry case with yummy raspberry frambuesa. Plenty of parking - reasonable pricing for such a great product. Fun marketing. Owner and roastery onsite. If near Midway airport definitely make a stop. We’ll be back!

Wheelchair accessibility: Small lift for wheelchairs available“

“Savory sausage, velvety egg, and melty Swiss cheese on a perfectly seasoned everything bagel 🥯! Cafe Consume rocks when it comes to serving up delicious offerings in the heart of McKinley Park. Truly a great spot that has the neighborhood vibing with yummy weekend treats and excellent coffee. If you're looking to try out a new coffee shop than this is the place to be!“

“Their breakfast options are under-advertised. Their egg sandwiches are some of the best I’ve tried in Chicago and their Bagels might be the best you can get outside of NYC.

The staff are exhibiting the perfect combination of friendly, courteous, and professional.

Their coffee beans and barista skills are impeccable. I wish they had better tea options and they had better (non-latte matcha - hand whisked?)“

“Delicious breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, friendly staff. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back“

“This is a hidden gem. Amazing! Must try great food, excellent coffee,“

“I’ve been loving Loba’s pineapple sourdough muffins. They are beyond delicious! I’m not vegan, but these vegan pastries are life changing! I also am a big fan of their cold brew. This Christmas, I decided to try their take-n-bake kouign-amann; and OMG my family and I were IN LOVE with the Ham & Gruyere kouign-amann! I will need to reorder this again next year!! 100% recommend!“

“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G food! I got the breakfast sando, which imo rivals Kasama’s breakfast sandwich simply because of the complexity and balance of its many flavors. The apple cinnamon bun was light, airy, and not too sweet which was perfect as a compliment to the sando. The sweetness of the vanilla bean latte wasn’t overpowering and still tasted like you were drinking actual coffee and not a Frappuccino. DEFINITELY making a return trip!“

“What a delightful place! They have Beacon Donuts and vegan bagels, with vegan cream cheese from Good Planet (as well as vegan butter, peanut butter, and jam) - my two perfect breakfast foods. The blackberry beignet was good, though I would've liked it warmed up a bit. I got the tendrils tea, a matcha lemonade, and it's a great balance of the two. I'm obsessed with the kitschy movie vibe, especially the sandworm from Beetlejuice coming out of the ceiling.“

“My cappuccino was amazing and the croissant was the best I’ve ever had😍“

“Levant is among my absolute favorite coffee shops I’ve ever frequented. The people are so kind and make me feel welcome and valued every time I’m there, which is often. The coffee is incredible and the pastries are delicious. They’re one of the best parts of Roscoe Village and make the neighborhood feel like home.“

“I haven’t tried everything in there but the coffee drinks and different juices I’ve had are really good and the staffs super nice friendly always smiling.“

“Amazing vegan sandwiches, ice cream and service! 10/10“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Great views of the bean roasting equipment while waiting for your order. Indoor space will get tight during busy hrs. Beans are pricey (12/24) and the cortado did not convince me to try any of them.

Vegetarian options: The standard non-dairy offerings“

“This place is simply spectacular. I visited from out of state and I loved every second of it. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole entire time I was there! Great food, lovely coffees, incredible service, and an immaculate atmosphere. I wish I could have picked the whole Cafe up and brought them back home with me!!“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

““I absolutely love Bora Bora Smoothies! Their service is top-notch—everyone is so friendly and attentive, making sure you get exactly what you want. The fruit is incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every smoothie. I’m also a huge fan of their acai bowls; they’re delicious, packed with fresh toppings, and the portion sizes are perfect. Bora Bora Smoothies is definitely my go-to spot for a healthy treat!”“

“Great atmosphere. The chicken adobo bowl was yummy and surprisingly filling given the portion. Iced ube latte was tasty without it being too sweet. I also got the spam bfast wrap and the ube tiramisu. Both yummy. Great cozy atmosphere and good service. Not too pricey.“

“I’m in love with this place and the people working there are sweet and nice I’m addicted“

“We understand why it’s named Gretel… if you’re wondering where Hansel is, he starved to death waiting for his burger. To be fair, it’s one of the best burgers you can get in Chicago BUT you should not come here if you have any other plans that evening. It took 30 minutes longer to be seated than they initially told us (over an hour and a half total). Once we were seated, pretty sure the waiter forgot about us at our table, but it didn’t really matter because the vibes were high 👌🏼 The drinks were great, but consider bringing your own because you’ll grow a five o’clock shadow waiting for your next round. The host, Jonah, was the shining star of the evening and was truly hilarious. But our waitress kept trying to argue that “well” and “well done” were different levels of doneness, so that was annoying (and slightly concerning). Overall, the food was phenomenal, but it was a very slow experience - the antithesis of “fast” food.“

“😀 I've been a satisfied customer for many years. They never disappoint! They also have a nice selection of both dairy free and no sugar added options!“

“Vibe- Cozy coffee shop with very nice artwork all around on the walls!

Customer service- Great!

Food/drinks- I got a matcha latte and a slice of banana bread; they were both delicious!

Parking- There’s a good amount of spots in the lot“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“When I say this was the most personable experience I’ve had at a coffee shop. It was FANTASTIC! Not only was the owner (who is also the barista) super awesome. The drink I got was probably one of the BEST tea lattes I’ve ever had. He is willing to customize your coffee/tea/lemonade however you want. I loved my experience and will be back!“

“Great local coffee shop. Plenty of seating or can easily grab and go. Monthly specialty coffees always catch my eye.“

“I want to go again! I’m 5 hours away so I better start driving now.“

“clean environment, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee ☕ 😋“

“Best coffee in the area!!!“

“Dark Matter never fails to impress me, especially at this particular location. I really appreciate that they stay open late, which is perfect for someone like me who enjoys a good coffee at unconventional hours. The consistency of their drinks is unmatched—a rare find for a coffee connoisseur like myself, as other places often disappoint in that regard. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality they deliver. If you’re looking for recommendations, my go-to specialty drink is the Iced Agave Latte—it’s absolutely phenomenal, and I can’t recommend it enough! You have to try it for yourself. Don’t forget to grab a loyalty punch card when you order! Just another perk of Dark Matter.“

“Breakfast is great, lunch fantastic! Now serving ice cream sundaes!“

“What a terrific coffee house. Great coffee. Wonderful food, and a staff that is always friendly and patient. And a large coffee is a large coffee. Medium is medium, and small is small. You have to go, even if you are visiting from out of town to babysit grandkids. They are the best.“

“Best Coffee, Great Event, we love the spot!“
