Loba Pastry + Coffee

Love this little coffee shop next to the Paulina brown line stop. Innovative lattes that are tasty and the pastries are so good too. Definitely worth a stop in. A little small so seating can be tough.

Best small coffee shop in Roscoe village! Serves Madcap coffee with amazing pastries made in house (there's at least one gluten free option each day), great espresso and matcha drinks, and an incredible cold brew!

Loba Pastry hath done me dirty today. It's a small, cold, room with not great seating options if you're going to a coffee shop to work. I got the drip coffee and they offered no refills (even Starbucks offers drip refills, quit playin) and the coffee was just meh. The robbie pastry I had also was pretty terrible, and this place's pastries are HYPED so I guess my expectations were too high. There's no bathroom for customers and a twee hipster vibe with really loud, basic indie music. I thought I'd try a new coffee place close to my apartment but this was so not worth it. I'm taking my talents to Two Hearted Queen from now on.

So I went today and was very excited. I
got the pinapple muffin and a violet iced latte. I ordered ahead online. I waited 15
minutes outside in the heat thinking they were just taking extra time to
make it... finally I
asked and the woman said you have to tell us your here. Not sure how I am supposed to know that? I was waiting in the doorway and nobody said anything. Obviously I was waiting for something from
Loba I was in the doorway. Then she gives me the wrong latte. I said thats not what I ordered. So she says well this is an Iced Spring latte with oatmilk do you want this instead? I said no Id like what I ordered.. and she asked me if I wanted a refund. She ended up makimg what I wanted but the whole thing made me not want to go back. I left frusterated -just remake what I ordered please!! I may try it again. Not sure its worth the trouble though. But the muffin was great

Delicious! Must haves: sesame emmie and pineapple sourdough muffins. Violet latte was super indulgent and tasty. Staff was super helpful and friendly even during a global pandemic.

Best kouign amanns in chicago!! Purchased 2 in the holiday season and my family still talks about how amazing they were!!! Just writing this review now because I realize I need a birthday dessert and plan to come here for it!!!

Best muffin I’ve had in my life, and it was vegan. I really like this place but their hours don’t work for me. I would come by a lot more if they were open past 3PM!

Great coffee, a few vegan baked goods, and a clean minimal environment.

I had a flat white and it was absolutely delicious. I was very close to getting a pastry, but held back on this visit. I will have to return to try them!

Loba is one of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago. Serving delicious coffee and brilliantly crafted pastries. Her lattes (flavors) are also culinary inspired. Awesome unique things happening here.
