[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool place to have a coffee, hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of nooks, alcoves and spaces if you're looking for a peaceful place to work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee itself is bold and delicious. I had a tumeric ginger chai latte which I will now refer to as calm in a cup. It was just what I needed. Scones were great too. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The building stands out and is easily recognizable by its bright brick industrial facade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located right next to Chicago Elite Fitness, Caffe Umbria was just what we needed after an intense workout (what other monster likes to drink hot coffee on a warm Chicago summer day?!). You can also just follow the delicious scent of their roasted coffee wafting through the air. I ordered a latte with almond milk and my partner ordered an Americano, also with almond milk. Our orders were up quickly and the presentation was delightful--served nice and hot in coffee mugs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whether you choose to sit inside or outside (perfect for people watching), there's plenty of seating to sit back and savor their delicious coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Drove by here several times but haven't stopped in, the place looks massive and cool from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband and I strolled over on a Sunday morning to check it out and the place was pleasantly buzzing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While waiting to place our order I scoped out the pastry / treats selection and was tempted by the glazed banana bread. We ordered a drip coffee and iced dirty chai. Both drinks came out quickly and with a chocolate square surprise! The banana bread paired wonderfully with the chai and was actually quite filling for the size. Can't wait to come back, think this is now our top neighborhood coffee shop! read more

Excellent coffee! Bold and flavorful! The barista did a fabulous job making my latte. Oftentimes at cafes you find just foamy bubbles but here they know how to steam and blend plant based milks as well as create latte art.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cool spot in a big warehouse type of building in Logan square![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved that they have machinery that makes the coffee here at this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot also offers plenty of work space for people who want to bring in their laptop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee menu is straight forward and there's options for snacks and food. I had a simple iced coffee with sugar free vanilla and it was great. You can also scoop your own bag of coffee beans and take it for home as well. Cool spot with great drinks overall! read more

My sister went here today and got me a coffee to go! I just asked her to get me any kind of sun seasonal cold brew drink or just a plain cold brew! They had a cherry San pellegrino almond cold brew, but they said they were out of cherry so they made it with lemon instead. Which was great because I love lemon! It was super refreshing but I wished that it had a little less of the sparkling water in it. It was really good though and I would get a coffee from here again next time I'm in town! read more

A pretty cool location with plenty of seating, both inside and outside. They also roast their coffee here as half of the space is allocated to the machinery. It has this interesting fishbowl area with outlets then seating around it.

Great local coffee - staff super friendly! There's a nice deal on Fridays where if you buy a bag of coffee beans, you get a drink for free.

Came here for a quick cup of coffee. The building is huge and very spacious inside. The staff was very friendly and it didn't take long to get our coffee. My wife ordered their Cappuccino Al Cacao and I ordered their Caffe Marocchino. Both were pretty good. It tasted very similar to a mocha but a little bit stronger. Wouldn't hesitate returning. read more

Overall Thoughts: I liked the vibes of this spot-- very industrial, yet comfortable. The coffee menu is expansive and a bit intimidating at first, but you can't really go wrong and nothing is too expensive. I ordered a Niccoiola Freddo, which I found pretty tasty, frothy, and had a nice balance of sweetness. I also tried a cherry danish, which I thought was just okay-- not as good as I was hoping. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5 Drinks/Food: 4.3/5 Ambience: 4.7/5 Service: 4.7/5 Overall Value: 4.3/5 read more

Had a great takeout experience! Staff was kind and friendly when I asked them to explain the pastries in the window. Had a couple customers coming in and out on a Wednesday morning before work. Cool interior where you can see coffee beans being processed. Decent amount of seating indoors, a few outside. I ordered brewed coffee and it tasted fine, as expected. The almond croissant was MASSIVE. It had beautiful layers and an ample amount of almond paste. I just wish there wasn't so much powdered sugar on top. Great coffee shop in the neighborhood and would return! read more

I really like this spot. Baristas are friendly and speedy even during a rush!

Unique experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've found Caffe Umbria to be very inconsistent after a number of visits. I love their beans, especially the Mezzanotte decaf blend. It may be my favorite decaf blend to make at home. The coffees in the cafe vary wildly depending on the barista, however. I've had excellent espressos and Americanos, as good as I can make with Umbria's beans, and I've also had over-extracted or very watery drinks. The service generally seems to be somewhat unfriendly in my experience as well. read more

Good tasting coffee however I dislike having to add my own cream and sugar.. it's kind of annoying especially when you want to just grab your coffee and go. I was disappointed to see other reviews and photos of a variety of baked goods. When I went the shelves were practically empty. It had about a sandwich or two and some random type of bread that didn't look too good. read more

I stopped by this morning after visiting Rehab Lab for a chiropractor appointment. They are amazing btw! Review to follow. Caffee Umbria is next-door and so I thought I would pick up some coffee. I am not someone that will go to Starbucks so I'm pretty basic when it comes to coffee. Cameron helped me as I described what I was looking for. He suggested the Caffee Al Pepe and it hit the spot!!! I did have it made with almond milk instead of whole milk. I also got a extra shot of espresso. It was the morning and I needed the caffeine. The coffee drink had just the right amount of honey and cinnamon. It has a delightful workspace in the back that's a few steps up. And also has a roasting area similar to what you would see in a micro brewery that you can watch the process through the glass walls. They also have avariety of options for food items. They all looked delicious and homemade. Cameron was the best and very knowledgeable about the coffee and the history of the business. I will definitely be returning after my next chiropractor appointment. If I lived in the area this Caffee would definitely be my go to. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by here with family while we were out and about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't too busy which was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a chai latte and it was pretty good. Not living in Chicago, I've been surprised at how few places carry skim milk. It's not the biggest deal but it still surprises me every time I am here (which is often) that most coffee shops don't offer skim milk. They had a GF carrot muffin, which was ok. It felt a little undercooked. But the flavor overall was pretty good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat for awhile and enjoyed our drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall good experience, not great. read more

This is a fantastic cafe! Had to wait for my car to be repaired at a shop close-by, so I stopped in here to enjoy a coffee and some breakfast. This place was super neat - it had plenty of space amongst the roastery and bar. The coffee and apple strudel was excellent - great flavors and nice sized portions. Rarely can you spend less than $10 these days and my bill was under that and felt like it was well worth it. Service was excellent - the two baristas were friendly and didn't mind that I was working for a long period of time. read more

I come here a lot as it's across the street from my dog's rehab vet. It's a cool spot. The baristas are friendly, the coffee is good, and the pastries hit the spot. Bathrooms are always clean. read more

I've been meaning to check out this place and I'm so happy I finally did. I'm always in the hunt for some delicious coffee and this place is IT. My go-to drink is the honey oat latte and theirs was delicious. Their espresso is in the chocolatey side which I loooove. I inhaled my drink and the little piece of chocolate that comes with every drink! They freshly roast their beans and you get a nice view and smell for when they do roast it. Caffe Umbria is spacious and have plenty of seats available. If you need to get some work done and want to drink some delicious coffee alongside, this café is the place to go! read more

Cute place, and very nice ambiance. However, the nitro cold brew is lacking in flavor, and creaminess that nitro coffee usually provides. If your a fan of Starbucks nitro cold brew then stick with it. The one at Cafe Umbria should be better considering it's a an artesian coffee shop, but sad to say I'm disappointed with it . The biggest lack is that there was little to no foam after coming out of the tap. read more

First time here and decided to check out this place since going to the yoga studio nearby. A great layout and ambiance with chill, synth music playing along with ample seating to read a book or chat with a friend. I got the matcha latte, sweetened with oat milk and it was so nice to also receive a little chocolate when I got it for here. Having been to Europe I can sense the fusion of European and neighborhood/city vibes. Will definitely be back to try the coffee! read more

Coffee is good but the service is so weird. I have been to my fair share of hipster cafes but one thing about being a barista is you are here to serve coffee to the customers liking, you don't have to do it with a smile, but if the customer is being warm than it doesn't hurt to reflect that. When buying a bag of beans there was no offer to grind it. When I asked about the free coffee that comes with it they sort of rolled their eyes and went. "That's only on Fridays" what a strange policy, I like La Colombe's free coffee with every pound offer better. After I got a coffee to go along with my pound of beans there was no sort of "thanks!" Or anything. When I looked around there was no creamer to be found. I know this can be taboo in a hipster roaster facility. But if you are not going to have it out you should at least offer or direct me to where it would be. I know these sorts of things seem silly, but as a former barista it's sad to see how far service has fallen. Prob going to La Colombe next time... at least their employees are happy. This place should pay them more or something. They all seem bitter and cranky. It's not like it was busy either it's 3:30 on a Tuesday. read more

Came in for first as it caught my eyes while driving in Logan square! However, the place looks amazing and very hippie. The employees were very friendly, and the facility looks just perfect for coffee roasting. My only and most important concern is the coffee taste and quality. I ordered black coffee which I was told it's medium to dark roast but the taste was way far off a good quality beans. I am NOT sure if whoever prepared it didn't put the right amount of beans or if their coffee tastes that way. As I wasn't getting any acidity or taste of the aroma! If I want to give the best description it felt like hot water with coffee flavor. I will give them another chance next time to see if the coffee any better. Best, read more

The space is super cool warehouse / shipping containers and the ambience is casual and low key. There is a handful of seating both indoors and outdoors. Staff was super friendly and helpful with descriptions of what was what on the menu and the coffee is really good. But the pastries are the highlight of the show, you absolutely have to get a croissant - it was so flaky and buttery and the muffin was also moist and had a hint of cinnamon!!! read more

I love this coffee shop an unhealthy amount. Coffee's are always great and when they arent totally slammed you get a little chocolate treat too which is a friendly little touch. Obsessed with their almont croissant and the overall vibe in the cafe.
