Had a wonderful experience at this location. Visited from out of town and heard great things about this little shop. The blonde manager at the cash register was friendly and helpful walking me through the menu. Not sure if this on the menu but definitely try the iced lavender matcha latte if you get the chance!
We come here every Sunday after church. It’s our go to spot but we just found out they switched from whole milk to 2% ☹️ not a HUGE deal but we are a whole milk family and might look elsewhere.
Clean place. Does not take cash. Drip coffee is self serve. Out of donuts by 11am on a Monday
Not accessible for wheelchair users or parents with strollers :( I couldn't even get inside
Great coffee and beans for a good price
Stopped by here while waiting on some car repairs and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a manual brew with a pastry to dine in. It was served and brought to me on a wooden tray with a ceramic cup, glass carafe, metal spoon, plate, and a napkin. The coffee itself was a delicious single origin and the pasty paired perfectly with it. The whole experience was so personable and lovely, which is so rare in today's pandemic and always-on-the-go world. It reminded me of cafe experiences and service in Japan. I will go out of the way to stop by here again when I am craving a peaceful and delicious cup of pour over coffee served by nice people. Next time I will take a photo. Thank you!
Very nice staff, very nice food, very nice coffee. The guy with a mustache explained what all the drinks were and brought me my breakfast sandwich when I didn't hear my order called. Overall excellent service 👍
The staff were amazing and attentive. I feel like they definitely were trying to get to know everyone there and create a very supportive community
In my top 10 best cups of Chicago coffee. Not a lot of seating, but friendly baristas and very yummy coffee. Their decaf espresso is the best decaf I’ve ever had! If you’re touring Chicago coffee shops, you’ve gotta check out Big Shoulders. As a side note: I like this location best!
The marshmallow latte was underwhelming. I would go back just for the coffee though.
Really nice little corner coffee shop for well pulled shots and quality pastries. I ordered a latte and the barista made a point to perfectly froth the milk even in a to-go cup. I really appreciate the attention to detail and presentation. Very nice group of employees and a really cool space for people watching, getting work done, or relaxing.
Cute corner coffee shop. I got an espresso and jalapeno bacon scone. The bacon scone is interesting with its flavor and the espresso had some bold flavors. Lots of room here to get things done and staff is nice!
Excellent coffee. If you take public transit through this intersection, it’s worth a stop and grab a coffee. Service was quick. They even have a monitor to tell you when the blue line passes chicago ave stop.
Awesome coffee shop. Everyone is very friendly, the coffee and food are amazing!
Used to love this place, but twice in a row I’ve seen their managers on shift rip into their baristas in front of the whole cafe for forgetting to check vaccine cards. It’s been uncomfortable enough to walk out both times. Too pretentious of an atmosphere for overoasted espresso.
They force you to take their oldest roasted beans so it doesn’t “ruin their rotation” even though I prefer fresh roasted beans they didn’t allow me to purchase a more freshly roasted batch. Won’t be coming back
I deviated from my traditional coffee order with an Iced Cardamom Spice Latte. Was very tasty. I also grabbed some of their "Porter" beans to go - the description alone sold m: "A cup with a full dark chocolate mouthfeel, peanut butter, caramel, and ending with toasted marshmallow"
Have not been to the store, but I order from them regularly. They an Lexington Roasters in Virginia, are the best roasters in the United States. Big Shoulders Colombian mash up is the best coffee I have ever had. So nice to find a roaster who does not over roast every bean.
Great coffee shop! Friendly for people with allergies. Put a note in the app and they are very careful with the order. Highly recommended!
I loooooove Big Shoulders coffee! I had the most delicious s’mores matcha latte, and I got to watch them slowly roast the marshamallow (which was huge by the way) that went on top 🤤 I can’t wait for my next one! 😍 I also find the environment in this location and right around it to be very enjoyable. Very warm and welcoming and lots of cute shops and eateries around too. There are other locations, but I think I like this one the best!
