Ludlow Charlingtons Coffee Shop

Stopped here for an afternoon pick me up on Saturday. They serve Counter Culture Coffee which is one of my favorite roasters! Tried the special “cookie crumble” latte and it was great! I’ll be back next time I’m in the area. Limited seating but cute/funky interior. Barista was friendly.

First place I’ve been to that could make a hot chocolate with oat milk, and it’s delicious! Nice service, they brought it to me as I sat at the window. The ambience is luxurious, I had to check I wasn’t in a pub or lounge when I first walked in. It would make a great coffee date, or just low light when you’re nursing a hangover. Friendly staff!

Love this new local coffee shop! I'm always on the lookout for a good independently owned coffee shop and this is at the top of my list. The iced coffee is amazing - the flavor has a slight sweetness to it which sets it apart from a lot of other brews I've had. The inside is small but has plenty of seating, so a great place to get studying/work done (plus free - reliable - wifi). The icing on the cake is that their mission is to support local shelter dogs - 50% of sales on their merchandise goes to Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control. The dog-themed decor is also adorable. Highly recommend!!!

What a delightful place with the most delicious coffee! From unique and beautiful decor to incredible lattes, this place is an ideal coffee stop. It's a small business that also sells pastries and bags of whole bean coffee (which he offered to ground on site!) and works towards giving back. They even had t-shirts, tumblers, and reusable straws available for purchase and adorable stickers on the counter to take home for free! Not to mention several people were on their laptops and there was a printer available! The business owner was the barista himself and was so kind, patient, and dedicated to producing high quality products and a delightful experience. It was hard to believe this business has only been open for just under half a year with how amazing the service and products are. There was even a clean (and stylish) bathroom! Additionally, there were plenty of vegan and decaf coffee accommodations. We walked to the amazing (and free!!) Lincoln Park Zoo after our visit. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

Side note: I do not get anything from publishing this review and was not asked to make this review. I personally just find detailed reviews incredibly helpful, especially when looking for certain amenities. I also love everything this business stands for as it is evident they are dedicated to being conscientious consumers in their business practice (for example, having certified B corporation coffee beans.) Seriously, go check this place out. I'm sad I was only here in Chicago for one day. (And as an Oregon native, I do have a wide experience with artisanal coffee. I'm one of those snobs who buys whole bean coffee monthly from a local coffee roaster. 😜) Anyway, go enjoy some outstanding coffee at an exceptional business!

Solid place, been here a few times. The decor and dogs are a nice touch. Almond pastry was delicious, chai latte a bit spicy, black coffee was fine. A bit pricey, but good local spot with a good mission.

Great local coffee shop, stopped in with my wife just looking for something new in the neighborhood that we are new to, and we were not disappointed. We each had the chocolate croissant, and it is pretty fun that they serve the danishes and pastries in dog bowls is awesome!
The ambiance is awesome, and the dog inspired artwork on the walls are amazing!

This place is such an amazing addition to the Lincoln Park neighborhood! It's family owned and dog themed with a lovely owners and a very friendly barista. My macchiato was delicious as was the blueberry danish. And I absolutely love their mission to help the dogs from Chicago shelters by donating 50% of profits from the sold merchandise to Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control.

Made a point to come here after hearing about their mission and loved it. Well decorated and they’ve really maximized the small space. Friendly staff and great coffee - plus I saw that if you get a pastry for here it comes in a cute little themed dog bowl. Will definitely be back!

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I stopped by here on a whim on a Monday a few hours prior to closing. The interior is adorable and their serving bowls are so charming. Yummy coffee and pastries. We didn’t get the barista’s name but she was so sweet and friendly. She gave us great recommendations for areas to walk around. She also gave us the last pastry once they closed :-)

I have now had their drip coffee and cold brew, so I wanted to make sure to review. Both were so delicious. I bet they do a great job with the more specialty drinks, and I will have to try some of those as well.

A little pricier than some places for drip coffee, but it's so high quality I will definitely stop by here again.
