Coffee Lab & Roasters

It’s pretty small, but if you can get a seat it’s good to work from. Pour over Ethiopian I had was great. Very floral with a nice sweetness. Decaf Columbian beans I picked up were also great, very sweet with a slight fruit background. Overall solid shop.

One of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had in chicago. I got a hazelnut latte with oat milk. It was roasted, perfect amount of sweet but strong still and not tainted and artificial like most places when they put flavor syrups. I hate that they are only open 7-1 and I don’t live in the area. 5/5!

I want this cold brew on tap in my house. Balanced, yet strong. Like a jaguar in the trees. The pastries were also delicious. Star baker for whoever made them!

My choice for best cold brew in the city of Chicago. (Read about it in the New York Times during the pandemic--sweet origin story too.)

Consistently, great coffee!! Very friendly staff and owners!

Coffee Lab is one of the best coffee places I’ve ever been to (and I’m obsessed with coffee!!) I used to be a barista myself so I’m kind of particular but they’re coffee and technique is amazing. They are also extremely kind and accommodating. This is such a joy in my daily life.

My favorite espresso in Chicago! Helen & Peter are the best - they have made this quintessential neighborhood spot a destination. People travel to get their morning coffee from here. They have a huge commitment to quality - both in the experience and product.

Was in the area having brunch at Batter & Berries with my fiancé. Usually not too particular about getting coffee at brunch places and I saw Coffee Lab was just down the street so we decided to stop in after eating.

I got a Kyoto cold brew while my fiancé went with the honey butter iced latte. Loved both our drinks! The Kyoto cold brew was nice to have 4 different options of roast to pick from. I went with the Brazilian medium-dark roast. Just the perfect boldness. I tried my fiancé’s honey butter iced latte and the honey added the subtle sweetness but the buttery note was just added that silky rich taste :chefs kiss:

Definitely found my new coffee spot whenever I’m in Lakeview. Looking forward to trying all their different roasts and other drinks!

Delicious house roasted coffee and convenient location! $3 for a large coffee with free refills. Nice sunny, stylish shop. Owner was very nice!

SPLENDID COFFEE! FUN SPOT! GREAT STAFF! HARD TO PARK BECAUSE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ROASTER!
