    Good coffee and pastries. I live right down the street and it's a great option. Service was great. The two people working behind the counter were super cool and friendly. I got a chocolate banana latte. It was delicious and not toooo sweet. Will definitely be back

    Hidden gem! I love stopping by here for my morning coffee. The ambiance is cozy and charming, making it a nice spot for catching up with friends, reading a book, or doing some light computer work. The space is small, so it's not the best for long study sessions, but that's part of its charm. The coffee is always pretty consistent, and while I have not tried the pastries yet, they look delicious. I especially like how close it is to the lake, and the baristas are super friendly.

    Dollop is such a cute and cozy coffee shop. I got an almond milk latte, and it was delicious. They made a little heart shape in it. The baristas were friendly and made the drink quickly. I sat at the counter top seating by the window and got some work done on my laptop. This was the best latte I've had in Chicago so far on this trip, and I've tried 4 other spots.

    I got a matcha latte while my friend got a latte!! The latte tasted so good and sweet. My matcha latte was lacking in flavor though :/ I could only taste the milk. Also, there's a compost bin but I thought it stunk up the small cafe area a bit. :( I would come back to try other lattes though!

    I hate giving below average reviews but I wasn't impressed by my visit here. The biscuit was dry and stale, had to throw it away after a bite or two. My iced latte was ok, couldn't really taste the cinnamon roll syrup. Service could have been a lot better. I waited in front of the register for a bit until a girl decided to help me, when she did, she didn't look too thrilled. Maybe it's just this location??

    I came to this location because it was the closest to the hotel. My husband and I were staying at and wanted to grab some good local coffee. I was not very impressed with her coffee. The sitting area was nice. However, coffee was just OK. Not much of a flavor I would say Service was quick

    Small little coffee shop located inside of a multi-use building. Limited seating. Service was friendly. The coffee was decent and they had alternative milks which is always a plus. The biscuits were delicious- light and fluffy. A bit pricey however.

    Not much to say for this little coffee shop: it's cute and it gets the job done. Chicago is littered with Starbucks, so it was nice to go to a smaller place. I got the Stinger bagel sandwich and it was pretty good: Egg, Bacon, Chive Cream Cheese, and Hot Honey. I'd never think to put hot honey on a bacon, egg, and cheese; but it worked pretty good. The only con for this place is that when this place gets busy it is busy. It's really small inside, so it's better to get in and get out. This placed got the job done when I wanted something that wasn't Starbucks.

    After eating breakfast nearby, I hopped on Yelp to find a coffee shop to grab a latte at before walking around the city a bit. Dollop Coffee seems to be located in an apartment building and has a small patio outside. I ordered my go-to, an oat latte. It's a small space inside, I wouldn't recommend this spot for working or studying as it seems like more of a grab and go type vibe. There's a nice fancy lounge area adjacent to the shop but I couldn't tell if it was part of the apartment building itself. My latte was put together quickly, but I was definitely taken aback by the tiny size, especially for $6. By far the most expensive latte I had in all of Chicago. The drink itself was fine, but I would skip this place next time.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

We got the pancakes, which come with a citrus butter and fresh berries. The pancakes were some of the best I've had, and the butter added a refreshing orange flavor that paired really well with them. The salmon sandwich was also great. The bread they make in house is delicious. Eggs in Purgatory, steak and eggs, and the American breakfast were also ordered. The tomatoes in the Eggs in Purgatory tasted very fresh. The steak was great, though a little salty, but the meal was very flavorful overall. And those potatoes?!! So good. The venue also has an art gallery, which was a nice surprise and a great way to walk around and enjoy some art while visiting. Overall, a great experience with good food, atmosphere, and service.

Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.

Service Issues:The service was inattentive throughout the meal, and concerns were not adequately addressed when brought to the staff's attention. Basic items such as water, napkins, and straws took an unreasonable amount of time to arrive, with water alone taking more than 10-15 minutes. Food Quality Issues:The food and cleanliness were equally disappointing. I requested extra crispy bacon in my omelet, but the bacon was undercooked and appeared raw. Both coffee cups also arrived dirty, with dried coffee residue inside, raising concerns about cleanliness and attention to detail. Closing Takeaway:Adding to the frustration, gratuity was automatically included despite the poor service. I rarely leave reviews, but I hope management uses this feedback to improve service standards, food quality, and overall guest experience. But I will never visit again!!
