“2-15-2024 I wish they put the name of the staff in the receipt. The staff member a woman with a white sweater was very professional and had attention to detail , took my order for my preferred items and recommended two others. I spent $84.97. Thank you for being very good at what you do.“

“An absolutely beautiful locally owned coffee shop in an area with few options. It's open and bright, and they host community events. The staff are friendly and helpful and the drinks (haven't tried the food yet, but hope to soon!) are very good!“

“The owner - Tim - was so friendly. I stopped in for a pastry & he asked if I wanted any coffee to which I explain I don’t drink coffee at all! He asked why & explained it wasn’t really my taste in general nor did I drink caffeine. He then proceeded to make me a decaf charlatte on the house simply to show me how amazing coffee can taste. I’ve purchased it since ;) 11/10 recommend this place!!“

“Found this gem while walking to my apartment and I have to say this coffee and tea shop is the cutest place I’ve been into, defiantly buying some merchandise from here. I’m a coffee and tea lover so I’m definitely coming back for more.“

“Crowded!!! Middle of the afternoon out of season, still 15 minutes line to order and around 10 to use the bathroom.Overpriced, tiramisu was 11.50$ other Italian restaurants with fresh desserts nearby can offer more authentic.Service was fast and standard, nothing to complain. Considering how crowded it was always, the store was pretty clean. Which surprises.“

“Of all the places I've tried around the city, Taste of Colombia has the best coffee anywhere in Chicago. My favorite part though is the wonderful people who work there! I feel super fortunate to have them just two blocks from my house. Make sure to give them a try!How cool this place is! They have the best coffee and desserts in all of Chicago, but the best thing is the people who work there. Many thanks to Naima, Toni and Alejandra. Always a pleasure to spend some time with you every weekend!“

“Good coffee and good prices. I was very impressed with this place. The staff was very friendly and got my order out quickly even though they were busy. It was very busy when I got there and the atmosphere was great.I’m not sure if they have a pet day because there were lots of cute dogs! Would highly recommend.“

“My Iced Matcha Latte almost didn't make it home (and I live across the street lol), it was SO yummy! The awesome guy at the counter suggested a shot of strawberry and tbh I don't like strawberries much but I love to try new things (like i did Kapej today) and I'm GLAD I did. I most likely won't be drinking my matcha without it from now on! Thanks!! Beautiful establishment. I'll be back tomorrow and the next day and day after that lol!!! ❤️“

“I've known for a long time that I can get a great cup of coffee in a pleasant and upbeat shop at Perkolator, but today I learned that they're also a woman-owned business on their Instagram page, so I wanted to hop on here and say, thanks for the great coffee and service, Perkolator. And also thank you for highlighting being woman owned. You rock and I'm celebrating your success today and always.“

“Jimmy is the best! My partner and I have been going there since we moved to Logan Square, and we love the coffee! Today when we tried to get coffee, they were unfortunately closed. Jimmy was so kind and gave us a bag of beans to make up for our driving out, which he definitely did not have to do! Such a kind soul. Love Jimmy Beans! :)“

“Overall Thoughts: I liked the vibes of this spot— very industrial, yet comfortable. The coffee menu is expansive and a bit intimidating at first, but you can’t really go wrong and nothing is too expensive. I ordered a Niccoiola Freddo, which I found pretty tasty, frothy, and had a nice balance of sweetness. I also tried a cherry danish, which I thought was just okay-- not as good as I was hoping.—Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5Drinks/Food: 4.3/5Ambience: 4.7/5Service: 4.7/5Overall Value: 4.3/5“

“Cozy little shop, I don’t drink coffee often but I was happy there were non-coffee drinks and the bubbly mango and dirty coke drinks were so good. The bubbly mango was surprisingly refreshing and the dirty coke tasted like a rum and coke except it didn’t actually have rum so I can’t wait to go back!“

“The ambiance is rustic and old-style themed. A lot of woody vibes all around. I ordered an almond milk latte. I was surprised to see the look was good but taste was a bit dark and too much. The beans were good but tasted burnt. The notes of the coffee were not as sweet as I had thought they would be. Overall, the latte was smooth and velvety but lacked in taste. I would say a few tweaks and the coffee would be better.“

“Came here everyday for my daily fix while in the area for work. I got to spend some time the first two days talking with the owner and one of her daughters. I immediately was made to feel welcome and a part of the family. They roast onsite, the coffee is amazing and the pastries are fantastic. I brought two bags of their coffee home with me. Anytime I am back in this area, I will be going back. Go support a local small business by having a great cup of coffee.“

“I really like the aesthetic of this coffee shop!It’s really cute. I went right when it opened on a freezing day and the staff was so nice and welcoming.I didn’t get the chance to try any food but I plan on coming back. I think I need to give the latte another chance :)“

“A neighborhood coffee shop is a staple in every neighborhood, and this couldn’t be a better one! Great service, friendly owners, and amazing hand crafted coffee! Lots of love in this place and it shows through the coffee and atmosphere! Cannot recommend the speciality coffees enough, there is nothing bad on the menu!“

“Nice atmosphere and very good coffee and service. It is a little pricey for the more standard coffee, but I still like to stop by every once in a while. They have some creative options that I’ve really enjoyed and come back for on occasion“

“I literally want to find a nook somewhere and just burrow there like a rat and sip on their coffees every morning i wake up. Loyal patron of MetroRoa since 2019 and just got reminded why Ill continue doing so. Coffee is delicious, wake you up without that palpitation Hulk vibes. Customer service always off the charts, shout out to Hunter who gave us a great talk during our visit. Drove from NYC and had to make sure we stopped by. Recommend getting a bag of their cold brew roast, and take a free cup of nitrobrew- you will die and come back as 2.0 version of yourself.“

“We love their beans (especially the light roast). Some of the best coffee in the city. We usually buy their beans to make coffee at home, but every time I've been to their walk-up window, everyone has been very friendly and brewed a good cup of coffee. Grateful to have you all in the neighborhood!“

“A cute coffee shop in Wicker but gets really busy! It’s got an industrial vibe and has some cool places to sit for a god study session or catch up with friends! I got the matcha latte and it had quite a few clumps in it which I didn’t love but it was pretty busy so I understand! It’s also consistently busy on the weekends which can be a bit rough if you like a more relaxed coffee shop but still has a great atmosphere!“

“excellent spot with super friendly baristas! even if they weren't that nice it wouldnt even matter to me because of how good the coffee is. i got a matcha latte today and if im not mistaken the barista used real matcha and a ceremonial whisk! pretty sure theyre an independent company (pls correct me if im wrong) so it feels good supporting them :)“
