Sawada Coffee

Well I never knew I needed a military matcha in my life but here we are. A matche latte with an espresso dropped in is a great way to start Saturday. The venue is a lot of fun and is connected to a bbq shop. Highly recommend stopping by!

This place is amazing! We got their iced Matcha Military Latte, Black Camo Latte and Matcha Doughnut. It was all absolutely delicious. My husband likes his drink not too sweet and I love my drink sweet but both matcha Military latte and black camo latte was a perfect sweetness for both of us to share! Out was amazing! Their matcha doughnut was soft and not too sweet either! It was just perfect! And the waiting and seating area was so nice, clean ans beautiful! We love everything about this place!

Their military latte is made of matcha, espresso and steam milk. It was as tasty as I expected. I asked for less vanilla syrup to make it less sweet. 12oz was a bit too much for me, but unfortunately they couldn’t downsize to 8oz as everything is proportionate. The matcha doughnut was on the other side, the icing is way to sweet and without any matcha aroma and the dough is overly fried and tasted like an overnight pastry. I live their industrial vibe!

Had lattes and a pastry here during a trip to Chicago in October 2021. Everything was excellent, staff were friendly, atmosphere is great. Will definitely come back. This was in my top 2 lattes I had during our whole trip to Chicago.

I've always wanted to visit this place since the first time I saw a pic of their military latte! The outside of the coffee shop is literally a warehouse and entrance is pretty discrete haha, but that's the charm of it. The inside though, HUGE! They share the space with a brewery/bbq place. There's lots of seating available. And when I went, they already had their holiday lights and Christmas tree up. Ambience was giving 100% home-y & cozy. Service was super quick, I was surprised given the amount of people there!

Highly recommend trying their military latte and their donuts!

Really great experience. I definitely recommend the military latte. It's a green tea matcha latte with a shot of espresso and vanilla syrup. It comes with your options of milk, and milk alternatives. It was very balanced, with depth. I sat on their school assembly style benches while I people watched. The whole experience was very serene and I would definitely come again.

Awesome place. Ambience is super chill and spacious. Perfect place to relax for an hour or two!

Military latte was a very interesting drink - don’t think I’d get it again but worth trying once. Loved the vibe here, would definitely come back!

This place has a pretty chill vibe with well crafted coffee options. I ordered the black camo latte which is made from roasted matcha and gives a cocoa flavor. It was a good try!

One of the coolest places in Chicago. Love the atmosphere, the music and the coffee.

Great place to work or study.

Missing more plugs and it’s a pity in such a great place they use paper cups instead of nice cozy mugs (maybe that’s just my European biases).

Long lines out the door on a Sunday morning. I completely understand because it a super cute coffee shop with its own personality and exciting menu with major matcha section. I patiently waited and ordered my matcha latte which came quickly. Theres plenty of seatings and I love the atmosphere. I’d definitely come back if i’m in the area!
