A pleasant surprise. First time in Chicago and just looked for something independent looking near where I am for work. Nicely roasted beans for espresso drinks. Had a flat white and a perfectly good blueberry muffin. Will be back in the morning to try a pour over of one of their more complex roasts.
Had a really good chip of pourover coffee at Big Shoulders Coffee. They have a very friendly staff who helped me choose a coffee selection. I would recommend this place to others!
Hands down the best lattes we've EVER had, and everybody working here was so nice and helpful.
Delicious coffee and also the breakfast sandwich was fantastic! Very friendly staff and fast service, it's super convenient on my way to work
The little microwave sandwich thing was surprisingly tasty for a quick breakfast but the latte ended up getting dropped in the trash. They only have 8oz and 16oz which is a bit unusual for the ratios of espresso and milk (typically 12oz cups) so that may have been part of it but the taste was pretty bad.
The Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is fantastic (especially with the spicy mayo)
Me and my friend have to meet in Congress Pkwyso decided to wait while havinh a cup of coffee... barista asked me if I wanted a pour over coz he said it has better flavor so I did go for it since I have all the time to wait. It didn't take that much time, just a few mins and its done.
Delicious coffee if you’re in town. The young lady at the counter was very nice. The coffee was superb.
I’ve been walking past this place to work everyday for the past few months and have wanted to stop in. Happy to report it was awesome! Coffee was great and it felt good to support a local Chicago spot. Really enjoyed the artwork as well (forgot to take a picture). I know they have a couple locations around town, so will look to try a another one next!
!!!THE OWNER DOESNT CARE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH!!! Tim, the owner who interviewed and hired my friend, does NOT care if you try to heal your mental health. He WRONGFULLY terminated someone I personally know for having a mental health crisis. Anything to not pay out unemployment, huh? You should be ashamed.
Very strong coffee.
I’m such a Big fan of Big Shoulders coffee. This location has some wonderful customer service. They are very patient and make sure you are well taken care of. It’s such a peaceful respite from the hustle of the loop!! I give this a 5⭐️ Jerry the pigeon gives them a 4.8 ⭐️
Great coffee, if you happen to order a tea, be prepared to wait 4 minutes for it to brew, no cheepie tea bags here! XD
Big Shoulders is a great shop, with lovely kind baristas and very good coffee. Get the cardamom latte, iced. Sadly, and strangely, they are not open on the weekend. You'll have to suffer Starbucks or Peet's if you're looking for coffee on a Saturday or Sunday.
The blueberry muffin is one of the best I’ve had/ coffee is also great!
Ordered a Macchiato with whole milk foam. $4.28. Very sour. Don't know what kind bean they used to make it so sour. Also it came in a paper cup. No aroma. Not impressed.
Great spot for morning espresso
If you're looking for a good cup of coffee in Chicago, you should stop at Big Shoulders. There's a reason they're rated one of the top roasters in the country. Whether you're looking for something fancy like a cortado or just a box of fast drip to take back to the office, you can't go wrong with Big Shoulders.
Best coffee in Chicago. Hands down
Great coffee shop! Very clean with friendly staff who suggested a great drink. I got an Iced Horchata Latte by the way which was fantastic! Not too sweet, but not overepowered by the great tasting coffee; very much recommend! Thanks for not judging my request for a coffee suggestion in a COFFEE shop too harshly🤣 Will definitely be back.
