The Coffee & Tea Exchange

I used to live around the corner. Everyone is very pleasant. I still come here to support this great shop!! I like how you can Order online and pick up on the side door. They have all you need. Keep up the good work!!

This place is cool. I bought my chemex here. The prices are not going to compete with Amazon, but sometimes it's nice to just be in a store and physically purchase a product. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, so to me it looked like they have a lot of different coffee and tea options. The people working there are always helpful as well.

This is a great shop. They have a lovely selection of quality coffees, teas, and spices. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

Independently owned and locally roasted makes this the best little coffee shop in Lakeview, hands down. They're so much more than just a coffee shop though; spices, teas, and all the drink related equipment you need. Need a new French press? An herbal tea to help a sore throat? 2lbs of black peppercorns? They've got it.

Good variety of options, knowledgeable. Slightly pricey when compared to alternative sources of tea.

You may want to budget extra time, they have somewhat unreasonable covid restrictions, only 2 groups allowed in at a time with a maximum of 4 people. There was a line outside when we visited.

This shop has very good Covid safety accommodations with pickup options as well as limiting the number of customers in the store. I especially liked the backdoor pickup where they can leave your order on a table so you can keep good separation (as opposed to a handoff). I ordered over the phone from the street and they were very helpful with giving advice for my selections. I got a handful of different loose leaf teas I'm trying the earl grey now at home and its great, exactly what I'm looking for. also the earl grey price per pound was on par or cheaper than most Amazon options.

Favorite coffee shop in Chicago - great for bulk coffee, tea & spices. Delicious lattes & iced tea too. Staff always friendly & knowledgeable. My go-to spot for gifts.

A great place to get any type of coffee you can imagine! They have delicious drinks they can make for you, too, and all sorts of syrups, spices, tea, and equipment. They’re happy to help, give suggestions, and let you know when something you need will be back in stock. They’re very reasonably priced too!

This place is such an awesome neighborhood gem. They have such a wide variety of tea and coffee and it's a great price too. The staff is wonderful and very helpful with recommendations. You can even bring your own container for the tea or coffee beans!

They’ve got some of the best straight and flavored tea blends around, along with some good quality herbs and spices. I’ve never left unhappy or with sub par products! They’ve also got some amazing coffee from all over world. There’s a little something for everybody in this shop and that’s why it’s awesome.
