A unique and cozy neighborhood cafe set in a clean and airy space. There are so many unique lattes. It seems there is some Harry Potter inspired drinks (ex: butter beer latte ). The breakfast sandwich selection looks delicious. I got an orange espresso (custom order), biscoff latte, and croissant. All were tasty. Service is a little slow but there are a lot of orders and it's still a relatively new spot. The staff was very kind. read more

Nice coffee joint. Nice coffee, nice people, nice space with nice light, nice food, nice artwork (for sale) and they have the whole coffee roasting equipment thing going and visible in right inside the space. Nice! read more

Had a great experience at this coffee shop, the drinks are delicious, the ambiance is clean and modern, and there are a good number of both indoor and outdoor seats! I ordered the iced oatchata latte (horchata latte made with oat milk) and it was unique and delicious, highly recommend! One of the biggest pros of this coffee shop is that there is plentiful free street parking, which is a rarity in Chicago. The wifi is strong, I had some issues connecting my laptop at first, but the key is to enter the password exactly as written (all lowercase etc). read more

Only knocked off a star bc when my coffee was delivered through chowbus the driver did not have a seal on my coffee. It was delivered through chowbus read more

My absolute favorite coffee place that I've visited in Chicago. The specialty coffee choices are delicious! Worried about paying a small premium for a beverage? It's worth it each and every time. This little spot on the south side is the ONLY place on the south side that I will go out of my way for. read more

The Oat Chata drinks yummy. The purple latte was different but very good. Avocado toast delicious. The customer service is wonderful and pleasant. Great place to meet up and have a small meeting or brunch. read more

The staff is friendly and very professional. They roast their own coffee and it's damn good. Highly recommended.

A fun coffee shop in Bridgeport. I was excited to see this spot open up right around the corner from my home. The coffee is good and their specialty lattes are very unique. The food is good but a bit pricey especially because the portions are on the smaller side. I hate to be this type of customer but the staff here has been impatient and rude at times. I'd rather walk further to another coffeeshop in the neighborhood because of the service here. read more

I walked into this beautiful coffee roasters on their grand opening day. The coffee notes were really intriguing. What I brought back to the office: lavender latte, lavender white mocha, roasted almond latte and L'orange Cappuccino. The flavor combos were perfect, we all loved our drinks! I heard the sandwiches are really good so I plan to grab a crossaint sandwich and a Spanish latte since I miss Spain so much (and maybe another pretty drink with rose) before my Saturday OT tomorrow. Seeing such a beautiful space and the neighborhood flourishing on a sunny day just brings post-COVID hope! Can't wait for the back patio to be done so I can go hangout when the weather is warmer, and can't wait to try their beans! read more

A bit sterile and minimal, but that's just the vibe of the place. The street seating was nice. The staff was extremely polite. Coffee was good and pastries too. If I lived close this would be a frequent stop. Recommend the second breakfast latte. read more

Always good to see coffee roasteries in Bridgeport. I was passing by and every day is a good day to have a fresh brew. The interior was pleasing to see the actual roaster on the right side of the room and I was able to sit, drink and watch. There are 6 variants that they offer for their signature roast. I choose "Sweet Venom". I had my Americano and I enjoyed every drop which now I crave to try the other's. Cost was reasonable for the taste and will continue to come back for more. Plenty of street parking. read more

I'm gonna be real I haven't been inside - only ordered delivery but I only have good things to say. I used to manage a cafe and hired a great person who used to work here, so can confirm they have great staff. But anyway, the banana latte is amazing - probably my favorite coffee beverage I've ever had. The BAE breakfast sandwich was not only delicious, but traveled well ! This is huge because most bfast sandwiches show up sad and soggy but this was perfectly packaged and showed up fresh. Overknight oats come in a hefty portion and were amazing as well!! Will have to stop by in person soon read more

Bad Owl Coffee Blew my mind.... I wanted to try something new and got the Blue Butterfly something latte? Incredible. I was very happy and delighted when trying a NEW coffee shop. read more

If I were just rating the coffee, Bad Owl would be a full 5/5. Oh my goodness. I had the roasted rosemary latte and it is SERIOUSLY tasty. I've had rosemary lattes before, but this is the only one I've had done right. Perfectly balanced and perfectly wonderful. I also got a bagel, and that was not so good. It tasted like all the ingredients of a bagel separately. I make my own bagels, though, so I'm a bit picky! My boyfriend got one of the breakfast sandwiches and said it was really good, so I might've just made a bad pick. Service was great. Both the folks behind the counter were super sweet, and the barista who made my latte did a bear :) The seating area is comfortable with a nice variety. My boyfriend is tall with a lot of leg, so we appreciated that were high top tables! Seems like there's only two customer-available outlets, though, so that's something to keep in mind if you want to come here to work and its busy when you get in. Overall, I really wish I lived closer to the area so I had a reason to stop in more often. It was definitely worth going out of my way for, though, and I plan to make the trip again! read more

Bad Owl Coffee Roasters - Barista made my Rosemary Latte a RoseBEARy latte :) - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got an Iced Americano today. 1. There is a total of three espresso shot in this 16oz Iced Americano. Although, it didn't taste like it even had one shot. 2. This 16oz Iced Americano costed me $4.95, where as Jackalop and Bridgeport Coffee nearby cost below $4.00. Higher price, higher expectations. Overall: I gave them three tries and it just wasn't to my taste but I hope my reviews helps. read more

Nice to have them in the neighborhood. Nice place to meet a friend and have a cup of coffee. Both the interior sitting area and street side seating were nice and sedate. They also had a nice selection of pastries. I would definitely be back. The breakfast burrito was the best that I've ever had. The contrast of the ingredients with the spicy salsa was a great way to start my day! read more

Ugh SOOO CUTE! I can't believe how colorful my drink was and I spent a good amount of time here chatting with a friend. The seating and lighting indoors was great. I definitely want to come back again! read more

Beautiful coffee shop outta Las Vegas that popped up on Morgan St about a year ago. Had wanted to stop for awhile and finally did. Just ordered a large iced latte to keep it simple. Definitely a tad on the pricey side at $7... then they have the infamous *Tip Line* when you check out so the thing cost me $9?! Was it good? Not really.. espresso had a very average if not a tad burnt flavor profile. I know they're known for the specialty espresso drinks but I always judge a joint based on the espresso first. If you are priced higher than Starbucks you better be as good if not better than them! Talk later read more

Absolutely loved visiting Bad Owl in Bridgeport! This coffee shop really has it all! Incredible lattes, fantastic food (and a great variety of it), free street parking, and a great space to work from. Here's what my friends and I tried out: ~ Caramel Sutra Latte (a February special) ~ Oat-Chata Latte (one of the best lattes I've had!) ~ Avocado Everything Toast ~ Peanut Butter & Banana Toast read more

Such a cute little coffee shop! The menu isn't huge, but the coffee is great. I had a butter scotch latte and a donut hole filled with Nutella. Both were delicious. I would definitely come back sometime soon. read more

Very cute smaller coffee shop. Some nice areas to sit and work. Coffee is 5/5, delicious and strong. I enjoy their seasonal drinks. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the prices on their sandwiches is quite high for a very small square amount. Customer service is great, service runs a bit slower though when it's busy. read more

What a cute coffee spot in Bridgeport. I have been wanting to check this place out, I grew up in the area and have a love for coffee. The interior is clean with greens everywhere. The barista behind the counter was super friendly. I had to try the Ube latte, and it was amazing. I was worried it was going to be to sweet, but it was perfect amount of sweet. I also got the Caprese sandwich which was decent. It had a little to much pesto on it for my liking. I would totally come back for coffee and to even sit and work, which I saw many people doing. read more

Matcha was too sweet for taste but the Croissant was delicious!!! I do think they need more work space for customers.

I discovered Bad Owl Coffee Roasters visiting Chicago for my birthday. I'm from Indianapolis and I wish we had something comparable here. It's so good I went back the next weekend and had to get it again. The croissants, scones, and banana cold brew latte were all amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Let me say that this place is hard to find and if you weren't looking for it is easily missed. Once inside there's limited seating because a big coffee roaster takes up much of the room. It's very clean and very well lit. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The drinks are magical and a little bit on the sweet side for me but can be adjusted on request. I also love the beans that you can take home with you. Plenty of street parking. A nice out of place coffee shop on the south side. Give it a try. read more

Fantastic new coffee spot! Great menu selections of caffeinated beverages and food items! Nice seating, lots of natural light, and friendly staff. There is free parking around the area too. Ordered the Pesto Sandwich, Peanut Butter toast, and the Banana Bread cold Brew Latte. Everything was delicious! The latte was just perfection. Not overly sweet or felt like it weighed down my morning instead of uplifting it. The food was also top tier. Great savory sandwich between fresh bread, side salad is a nice touch. You can also upgrade to tots, which is always positive. The sweet peanut butter toast was also such a great combination of crunchy and sweet! Can't wait to come again to try the other Special Drinks and more of the food! read more

A new bougie coffee roaster opening within two blocks of my apartment was always going to be dangerous for my wallet. Thankfully, these guys know how to make some interesting blends, a fine breakfast croissant, and consistently decent tots. The one ding I have is on pricing: $4 for orange juice that I can clearly see you pour from a carton is a little much. Still, I've been back there, like, five times, so clearly that's not enough of a deterrence by itself. read more

This is a very high vibe place with awesome food and drinks. The service was outstanding!! Highly recommend

Love the decor and atmosphere of this place. The staff was friendly and their prices are reasonable. Actually, I think their prices are really good. Less expensive than some other places nearby. I perused the menu and they have a good selection of drinks which I plan on trying in the near future. Today, I went simple with an iced coffee and I enjoyed it. I've also tried their no drip which was also good. I can be picky with hot coffees as I enjoy sweetness and fancy flavors mixed into it, but this simple coffee was delicious with basic cream and sugar. I only wish they opened earlier than 8am on weekends. read more

the oat horchata- inspired latte was one of the best lattes I've had ! +friendly staff

DELICIOUS, AMAZING, I enjoy the ambiance. I will be back again and again. The food very good

I love Bad Owl's coffee! My go-to's are the Oat-chata or the Biscoff latte - would highly recommend! They also have an excellent location in Bridgeport with a welcoming ambiance inside. The only thing I'd improve is their store hours - they close at 3 pm, which is early. So when I try to go after work, it's already closed by the time I'm finished. I would love to support a local coffee business, but the time constraints just don't work out. Please consider extending the store business hours! :) read more

Nice quiet spot for coffee. Bad Owl is a fine addition to the great Indy coffee makers in Bridgeport. Plus Bad Owl has stellar food offerings. read more

Love this addition to the neighborhood. Been here a few times and the coffee has always been good. The atmosphere is great too. Chill bright clean spot that's not loud. Limited seating is the only downside. Will be coming back often! read more

Real solid coffee. Free WiFi and a good couple of breakfast sandwiches. Standard "good" coffee shop, but a bit small inside + some seating on the sidewalk. read more

Love this new Roaster in Bridgeport. Their food menu is really tasty as well. I love the cute sidewalk cafe feeling.

All I wanted to do this beautiful Chicago morning was was to take my well behaved small dog with me and stop by and support this business and buy my lavender coffee only to be told when I entered by the unfriendly barista that I could not keep my dog with me while I ordered coffee unless he was a service dog. I was not going to sit in the shop with my dog or sit outside or even linger. There was no special post to securely keep my dog out while I got coffee either. I just wanted to get my coffee, leave the premises and continue to enjoy the walk with my baby. Mind you there were only 2 customers inside sitting at the tables and it was not busy. And if it was busy I would not have come in with my dog. I ended up walking out sans coffees thereby disassociating myself from this business ever again. Just to add I'm not a regular. Please add to a sign to your front door regarding this policy and card I d service dogs who enter. read more
