Wow! This place is added to my favorites list! The lattes are phenomenal! I loved my honey cinnamon latte and my Nutella latte. Both were just perfect -- flavor and visually beautiful. Spacious interior. Lots of seating--tables, couches, work stations, chess table. It's also kind of a company store, with other snacks and beverages for sale, such as wine. The location is great, right across from Grant Park so great views from the windows. Bright space, lots of natural light. Colorful and vibrant decor too. The vegan glazed donut is very good! I look forward to trying more food. The bathrooms are individual and private, and very clean. They have nice Dyson hand dryers. Fun music playing and the vibes are positive. Excellent and friendly service too. Really kind people. I will be a regular here for sure. read more

This cafe is the cutest, the interior is a complete vibe and has a great view .I'm so glad I stopped in as the service was quick and friendly. I ordered an iced ube match with oat milk and it was very light and refreshing. Sadly I couldn't taste or see the ube and it was an extra cost. On a positive note, the oat milk and matcha paired perfectly with a good balance between all flavors involved. read more

Dollop Cafe, Bar & Kitchen - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I stopped here with a friend for a quick breakfast on our way to the Field Museum. We each tried an iced honey cinnamon iced latte, and I also got a raspberry matcha donut. The lattes were delicious - perfectly sweet with noticeable flavor from the honey and the cinnamon. The espresso was also evident without tasting super acidic. I also enjoyed the donut though it could have had a stronger matcha flavor. We didn't stay long but there was plenty of seating and a lot of nice natural light. Service was also great. I actually didn't realize Dollop was a chain until I looked it up to write this review, since the interior really made it seem like a small local coffee shop. I would definitely love to come back next time I'm visiting the Field Museum. read more

Coffee: I've tried the mocha and the honey latte, both had a great ratio of milk to espresso. Milk texture was good and foam was rich. Service: The barista was friendly and gave my pet a treat, I really enjoyed the customer service and music was amazing. It was like rnb/house vibes which I loved. Ambiance: The interior design is beautiful and there is no shortage of outlets to work from. Yes the table height to chair height ratio is good, if that matters to anyone. It isn't loud, so you can actually focus here. Overall: good option for wfh, great lattes, friendly staff, pleasant music and interior design. To be honest this place is very underrated, I think it's better than Deko and other south loop options, sheerly due to the experience. read more

Good spot in this area with plenty of space to sit. Coffee was good, breakfast sandwiches excellent.

The ambiance is super chill which at 64 years of living I want the simple life. It's pricey but it's convenient for me since I live in the neighborhood... read more

lots of seating! pretty expensive and i didn't enjoy my latte to the fullest. however it was just not my taste and i didn't really like the almond milk the pastries looked delicious and were in a beautiful case under the counter. the ambiance in here was lovely and it is so beautiful inside my favorite part was their water station. they had a self serve water station and it was really lovely. thank you dollop! there's a cute little market area in the shop to the side that sells fun snacks, ice cream, and wine bathroom 8/10 nice bathroom! i like that there was 4 individual bathrooms, so many which is lovely to me it felt like a space ship. they are spaceship themed and my only comment is that the toilet flush is very loud so don't go in here if you scare easily (joke) workers were chill , i walked here so i have no parking comments nooo! it's downtown though so read more

Good coffee, nice atmosphere. Very convenient. Salads and sandwiches are respectable.

We have been coming to Dollop for some time and rather enjoyed it in the past. It has changed and not for the better. I guess for students who can afford $27 for 2 coffees and a rather insipid, dry sandwich it seems popular. We've been traveling for months and looked forward to what was our Saturday coffee out. The place has gotten run down, there is loud, conflicting music in the restaurant and kitchen which is very disturbing, at least for me. Pick your loud music and stick with it. They have also decided to not provide alternative sweetener. I happen to very much dislike Stevia and was always pleased to find Splenda for my expensive coffee. No bueno. Bottom line,apparently trendy, it was busy, but an atmosphere of "you're lucky we let you in to overpay" read more

I've been visiting this café since I lived in the building years ago and have continued to return regularly. The baristas are consistently kind, attentive, and welcoming. Bloom makes the best art work in a cup I've ever seen. It's a warm, inviting space ideal for coffee, tea, or breakfast. Their spinach croissants are exceptional--truly the best I've had. read more

Stopped here for a pick-me-up before a day at the museums. The shop is spacious, clean, and really cozy/pretty especially as it was raining when I was here. There's bar seating, tables, and a couch area that's great for meals or just sitting to work on a laptop. I got a honey cinnamon latte. It was only available iced in a 16oz cup, no other size. It was pretty thick and sweet so I had to wait for the ice to melt a bit. The cinnamon was not too overpowering. Service was friendly. Would come back for the vibes. ヾ(＾-＾)ノ read more

Newly opened with temporary 8am-3pm hours. The space is gorgeous and they plan to expand to cocktail service soon. Looks to be awesome for working coffee spot with lots of outlets. The food was tasty and service is actually at your table (vs counter ordering) if you plan to eat in. They have a few things to work out, but everyone was so friendly and I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu. It will be a huge hit in the area since their breakfast offerings differ a bit from the usual eggs. read more

It's a fantastic spot whether you're in a rush, looking for a quick breakfast, or have time to sit and work. Opening at 7 AM is perfect for early risers, and there's plenty of seating available. They also have a convenient grocery section with frozen and pantry items, plus wine, which is a nice bonus. When I visit, I always go for the breakfast burrito--it's incredibly tasty and satisfying. Payment options are versatile, from Apple Pay to Afterpay and even Cash App. I initially planned to eat only half of the recommended doughnut, but it was so delicious that I couldn't resist devouring the whole thing. They also offer free Wi-Fi, which is perfect for those who want to get some work done while enjoying their meal. Additionally, I was impressed by the quick service--it took less than 10 minutes for my food to arrive, which was fantastic and made the overall experience even better. soft music flows through this place which sets the vibe as people work or chat. read more

Great place to pop in for a bite and coffee Chai Latte - 4/5. Solid Chilaquiles - 4/5. Nice textures, runny egg as I wanted, solid verse sauce Chicken Biscuit - 4.5/5. Wonderful flaky biscuit. White chicken was a great choice and had good flavor on its own. We poured over our own maple syrup and it went perfectly. There is an egg with this dish, but it's not needed so we got it scrambled to set aside. read more

Ordered a lavender/vanilla cappuccino. It was delicious! They use Monet syrup - not house made. Service was simple and professional. Timely for coffee. Ambiance - many people were on their laptops or having 1:1 conversations with people. Has a little unique goods shopping area, liquor and wine area to purchase and Jenni's icecream. read more

Super busy on the weekends but nice to be able to go downstairs and get something to eat without having to go outside Takes a while for takeout though Nice decor, big windows and lots of light Nice plant and coffee wall Lattes are nice, though several times have been out of matcha Waffles are fluffy Biscuits are also fluffy and tasty For a while was open during the evenings but not any more Nice to be able to order online then go downstairs to pick up Staff always friendly read more

This might be the best cafe to do work in Chicago. It's got a beautiful interior with high ceilings and a plethora of natural light giving way to the Chicago skyline. Internet and outlets are abundant and the late hours are greatly conducive for working or studying. Plus, it's more of a local spot, and didn't seem overly crowded when I went. My very excellent and strong matcha latte was criminally expensive (almost $8), but perhaps that's the cost of such a great ambiance. read more

Nice place to grab a quick coffee. They also have a few shelves of snacks and a small craft beer selection if you're in need of a quick 6-pack. They also have a full service bar which is cool. I've had a random drink here and it was fun. I tried the breakfast sandwich today and it was very good. Nothing over the top, but very fresh and a great sauce that adds to the flavor. Definitely a good spot to stop by if you need a quick drink or bite to eat. read more

I'm not a big coffee person, but I loved this place! We came here to grab coffees and walk on Lakeshore drive. I got a caramel macchiato and my friend got a spicy mocha latte. I don't usually like mocha, but I liked this drink a lot! The drinks are a bit pricey, but the ambiance of the cafe is cute and love the location. read more

Was really excited for brunch here but felt like it was just okay?! The waffles were a thin style waffle rather than the thick Belgian type. The classic BLT was good but the bread wasn't really toasted so the texture felt a little mushy. Also had high hopes for the strawberry lemongrass matcha but the strawberry and lemongrass flavors didn't really come through to me. I probably sound like a brunch snob after this review (rip) but I still love this place and will continue going for coffee! read more

Fast, attentive service. Excellent coffee. I had a double espresso that was superb.

Wasn't expecting much but the final result was worse. Albeit having jelly & a waffle the chicken & waffle was neither sweet nor had flavor. Same goes for the chicken & biscuit sandwich. My I total thought when I read the article about this place in my hood was to try their drinks only & I should've listened to my first mind. The place is pretty & spacious however the food is mediocre just like the rest of south loop. read more

Didn't have a chance to try the food but ordered a few different drinks on our way to the aquarium. Super convenient location and the space itself is really nice, super aesthetically pleasing and plenty of seating. Large menu with lots of options and some fun signature drink options like the orange creamsicle that we got. Everything we ordered was good, but nothing to write home about. Would definitely come back if it was convenient, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If you need to kick a coffee craving and you're close by, I would recommend it! read more

Great food and interior, okay drinks. I got the chicken and waffle dish, and i don't think I've had a more buttery waffle. The chicken was also perfectly crisp, and the fruit was a nice touch. I also got a spicy mocha, which was just okay. It was a bit too watery for my liking. read more

A beautiful spacious coffee shop with counter space and outlets, as well as large table options. Great for a quick to-go pick up. This spot gets pretty busy on the weekends, so if you're looking to stay a while, visiting earlier may be your best bet. It makes for a good pit stop before visiting the local museums or if you find yourself in the South Loop neighborhood. read more

We love Dollop but just received the most lackluster service. We were excited to have brunch yet she offered no help w our order or a recommendation- her lack of enthusiasm for us or Dollop made us walk away and go somewhere else. It was too bad because we always get so excited to come. We love a Sunday brunch at Dollop but not w her not today. read more

Not a regular but Live in a neighboring building so have been a few times: 1. Coffee is great although baristas are a little slow. Machine seems to be very temperamental 2. Food is surprisingly bland. I've had out of town friends also disappointed. 3. On 2 separate occasions the price I am charged is higher than what is on the menu. When I pointed this out they changed the charge but please note the menu prices are not the actual prices. read more

Horrendous service and people. Please avoid. A better option is Sweet Bean, which is right down the street.

Southloop has been missing a decent coffee shop for a long time. As a NEMA resident I've been waiting for this place to open since we moved in a year ago. Amazing coffee, chicken and waffles, pancakes, breakfast sandwich, donuts, lunch sandwiches. I think I've had almost everything on the menu and haven't been disappointed. Only downside is they close at 3pm but was told that late night hours are coming soon! read more

Rude and arrogant staff. They behave as if they are doing you a favor. Then they expect a tip?

Love this place, come here whenever I need to get work done or just to have a nice. Staff are exceptionally nice.

Their hours aren't correctly advertised. They are closed today even though yelp said they were open.

My fiancé and I found our new favorite coffee shop in the area. We are always able to find a place to sit and get some work done. It's amazing that this coffee shop is open so late, although the kitchen does close at 2 PM. The honey cinnamon latte is my absolute favorite. It's delicious both iced and hot. read more

It was good. The breakfast potatoes were tasty. The egg sandwich was a little dry and the veggie sausage was extra dry (maybe over cooked). Not sure if I would try it again. read more

Coffee was alright. Not the best cup of joe, but certainly not the worst. Very clean. Just seemed like the staff was rushing, even though there were maybe 4 other customers. read more

Fabulous spot! I have been here three times to eat and each have been a wonderful experience. Service was great each time (all the staff is so kind!) my food always came out in a timely manner and tasted delicious! I highly recommend the #1 avocado toast. It comes with pickled onions, cilantro, and pepitas! So yum! My favorite drink is the blue milk specialty drink! I also enjoy the honey cinnamon latte (iced!) Will be back for sure! read more
