Barriques - Monroe St.

The coffee is ok. The vibe is good but it’s usually hard to find a spot to sit. I ordered a grain bowl and after 20 minutes of it not coming out I went up to the counter and they said they “just saw the ticket and will start making it right away.” No apology or comp. That was a bit annoying. It was pretty good but could have used more flavor. I got my money’s worth in pine nuts though!

Finally I found a good coffee spot in the city. Cortado is excellent , made perfect to the ratio. Espresso is excellent. Friendly staff. This store also sells wine and liquor !

okay so here's the thing. i placed an order this morning via doordash and was delivered the wrong order. (honestly, i can't even get mad b/c a) the names were really similar, and b) i ended up liking what i got, so kayla douglas, if you happen to read this, i'm sorry for eating your food). i was originally going to accept the credit doordash was going to give me but i decided i still wanted the latte i originally ordered instead, so i asked for a redelivery. this time, not only did i get the correct order, but i also got the correct order from earlier as well. i opened the bag of goodies and there was a little note written on some receipt paper apologizing for the doordasher and wishing me a good day/weekend inside. it was such a cute lil surprise and i'm probably going to keep it for an indefinite amount of time because i'm a dirty rat and have hoarding tendencies and like little notes. honestly, it's little things like that that really make or break a day so this made my day. TL;DR: to the employees working at the monroe st. location: thank you and i hope y'all have a lovely day/weekend as well!! :)

Simon made my experience with the kids very delightful. I asked for 2 of the hot chocolates to made cool for the kids and mine good and hot. He did! I also had only throw on a $10 bill in my pocket. Iwas a bit short. He was very kind, made up the difference and did not make me feel bad about it. Barriques will now be a for sure stop on our morning walks. And I'll make sure to have enough cash in the future :)!!

The drinks have many options and flavors which is nice. Great environment as well. The staff is WOW! Although, I’m giving it 4 stars because some locations are cold, but Monroe St’s location is a sauna. It’s not winter anymore let’s turn it down a bit. Otherwise superb

Got the Shorewood Breakfast Bowl and got maybe 3 bites of food cuz my bowl came half empty LMAO. Got the hot apple cider which was pretty good, and that’s honestly the only reason i didn’t give 1 star

I've only had amazing experiences with this Barriques location. Staff is friendly and helpful, plus the coffee is delicious. I only ever get the pork quesadilla but it's always yummy. Highly recommend getting their mixed greens as a side, their balsamic dressing is amazing!

Waited 25 minutes for a breakfast sandwich with no one else in line. Apparently the kitchen didn’t see the order. A week, ‘sorry about that’, but nothing more. Give a dude a drink or a cookie, right? Good customer service is so easy and means so much - come on people!

Loved going here for lunch when I worked in the area! Great food and great drinks!

Family in front of us didn't wear masks, laughed at the barista taking orders when she asked them to wear them, then didn't tip on a large order as punishment. The staff member remained professional and friendly the whole time. Thanks so much for dealing with people like that to keep us all safe and fill of delicious caffeine! 💜💙❤️
