Meddle Coffee Bar

This cafe was trying to sell a french press set for 90.00 that was 54.00 online!!!
Asked to exchange a bag of coffee that was unopened that was purchased the day before because it was the wrong blend and clerk refused. I asked to speak to manager and told her I did not HAVE to go here because there were many other options online and that I was asking to exchange the bag I bought yesterday with a different blend. Most cafe's would gladly allow it to keep a customer. Not this manager (who was not really communicating clearly to me - plus the added muffling with a mask). When I said I was not happy with not being able to exchange my purchase, she finally offered a refund to me, but followed it with "you are going to have treat our staff better." May I remind her that her staff mixed a recent order up about 2 weeks ago and had to remake the coffee as I ordered it. Stores who goof your order up usually offer you SOMETHING as compensation for your time and good customer service. I asked if I could have the medium cup of coffee that was wrong (because I was going to give it to a coworker and perhaps win them another customer). He said, "No. It will not go to waste." Really POOR customer service. Really POOR customer service from the "manager" today who said she is a "part owner." Perhaps the owner should offer some customer service classes to their "part owners" and "other" staff who do not know how to keep customers. After I told the "part owner" I would not return, she told me I was "banned" from returning. Sorry.. I just TOLD YOU I was NOT coming back! You lost TWO customers..... spending minimum of $90 per week. I have never seen more than 2 or 3 customers in this store. I guess you can afford to lose some. SMH. Peets Coffee at Chicago Union Station has a new customer!

Good whole bean retail selection, fresh, drip is good, nice music

Dark Matter Coffee served up another ace with this location! The staff are super cool and friendly. Plus they are serving some of my favorite lattes and coffee inspired drinks in Chicago! I had the Barrel Aged Latte two mornings in a row and was never disappointed. It sounds like that is a popular item too. Check out the freshly roasted beans and pick up some killer swag too.

This place was a quirky and quiet place to grab a delicious latte while waiting for the train at union station (only a 5 minute walk). I got the agave latte, which was delicious. The staff was excellent and friendly, even made my drink on the house since I was a new customer and the espresso machine was down when I first arrived. Overall an excellent and fun coffee shop with amazing staff!

Tall dark haired guy at register and making coffee was very dry and rude. Also he was wearing his mask under his nose. We came from out of town and were excited to try the coffee bar but he was not helpful at all when we inquired about the different coffees and pastries. Very disappointed with this whole experience. If you have a bad attitude maybe try a different industry to work in other than the service industry.

Amazing coffee, the best lattes, and on Saturdays, the ham and cheese croissants are to die for. Baristas are friendly and creative.

What a hip and cute coffee shop! First time coming in and the staff new I was a first timer, they really explained what was popular, favorite alternatives and paired with recommended pastries. Highly recommend them, they have some of the best coffee around

Visiting from Detroit, I stopped here en route to the art museum which oddly was closed. So glad l found it. Best coffee for miles around. Great stop between trains. GET IN HERE

Very good here. A little pricey and the staff is a little unwelcoming. The inside is very cool but also very small so don't expect tables to be open for you to sit. The Chai Latte was very very good as was the barrel aged mocha. Their latte art is very pretty and speed of service is decent. Is a great place to stop by to get a slmewhat quick coffee with very good taste.

Friendly, high energy staff! I had their draft iced coffee. They have three different options. I chose to go with Chocolate City. It is a high acidity, full body, first wave of oral experience is the tartness of gooseberry followed by smooth balsa wood flavor ending in a kick of cacao and the darker sides of chocolate. A fantastic iced coffee!
Truly a pleasure!

There are only two downsides that you may want to be aware of:

- There aren't any outlets accessable in sitting area
- The music is fantastic however is loud so not the place to come to find quiet.

Summary:
Excellent coffee and atmosphere, not ideal if you're looking to have a long term stay with electronics.
I would highly recommend this place all things considered!
