Ventured out to try a new coffee shop today, and I'm disappointed that I did…read more In terms of location, this place has a lot going for it. And, the fact that they sell Holcomb Hollow goodies was awesome. But just about everything else was lacking. I found the staff behind the counter to be gruff and unpleasant. Everything moved at a snails pace; I couldn't believe that a simple cold brew coffee (black) took 10 minutes. The shop is very artistic and has a lot to take in (in terms of decor, things for sale, etc.). It was overwhelming. There is a lot of seating area and separate rooms to congregate in, but even in poking my head in to look around, I received looks that felt territorial and unwelcoming. My coffee was fine, but really nothing to write home about. Not at all interested in trying this place again.

While in town visiting my family, I was in search of a coffee shop and happened to stumble upon…read moreDrip & Culture. Thankfully, it was only 10 minutes away, so my mom and I hopped in the car to try it out. Drip and Culture is located in the back of Supermercado Gonzalez. It's not rare for Mexican grocery stores in the area to sell hot food in the back of the store, but it was very unique to find this super cute, black-owned coffee shop located right in the back. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Ube Matcha and my mom chose the Banana Rum Caramel Latte! Both drinks were a 10/10!!! My drink had an Ube horchata base, which tasted like the perfect mix of vanilla and cinnamon. It was absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the matcha!!! My mom thoroughly enjoyed her latte as well! Next time I'm in town, Drip and Culture will be my first stop. The shop has a 90s theme with jerseys on the wall and VHS tapes, which gives such a nostalgic vibe. I can't wait to return!!!

Drip & Culture is such a cute coffee shop tucked away and has been one of my Waukegan favorites! I…read moremake it a goal to try as many local coffee shops as possible always better than the chain stores. Not only is the coffee delicious, but you can also grab tacos and relax with a seat while you enjoy your meal. The service is always welcoming, and it really is a great family owned business. One thing I love is that the menu is constantly evolving with new featured drinks, giving you something different to try each visit. So far, it has never disappointed. If you're looking to support local and enjoy great coffee, Drip & Culture is absolutely worth a stop!

The owner runs the coffee shop himself, is incredibly kind and roasts all of the coffee in-house, so you can always count on it being fresh. This place is truly a cornerstone of the community. Through its open mic, it gives people of all backgrounds a space to sing, learn instruments, perform, and connect with others. Don't let the negative reviews influence your decision about whether to visit. I'll certainly keep coming back.

Good coffee! Met up with a friend there and we enjoyed ourselves. I will definitely be going back.read more

We rolled up, got comfy, and sipped our way through a taro slush, strawberry milk tea, mango milk tea, and a strawberry smoothie.... every single one hit just right. No gimmicks, no drama, just top-tier boba and good vibes. If you ever wanted to sip bubble tea while pretending you're in an anime café, this is the spot!! Best day everrr!!

While visiting Chicago for my daughter's Navy boot camp graduation, I stumbled across this adorable…read morelittle brunch spot--and honestly, it turned out to be one of the happiest surprises of the trip. The service was absolutely top-notch--warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They've only been open for 9 months, and I'm honestly shocked we were the only ones there for a while. This place should have a line out the door. The food quality is phenomenal. I ordered the steak skillet and it was incredible--super flavorful, piping hot (like seriously hot), and perfectly executed. The pancakes were light, thin, and fluffy, topped with fresh, juicy blueberries. My mom got the Denver skillet and she's still raving about it while eating it. I also had a caramel cappuccino that came with the cutest little cookie on top--absolutely delicious. Overall experience: a solid 10/10. Food: easily 9.5/10. I never thought I'd be this excited about breakfast food, but here I am, still thinking about it. If you're in Chicago, do yourself a favor and seek this place out--you won't be disappointed. P.s. price is very reasonable. You get a lot for your money.

Has some charming old vintage advertisements to look at. There's actually more than just ice cream, as they also have sandwiches and other things. Basically this is one of those seasonal places that closes when it gets colder. It's the closest place to the beach to get anything to eat. There's actually two buildings for this business, across the street from each other. Certainly the cereal is the main thing to get. It's about $3 for a small cup, not bad prices. Has quite a few flavors including Italian ices. There's also a grill so they make hoagies and other sandwiches. Has other sweets like cotton candy. There's one table inside and a few more on a patio. Good place to cool off when it gets hot. It's located by the marina shop and lighthouse. This is a quick stroll from the Metra station.
