Tried a seasonal matcha and was unfortunately so disappointed in how bitter it was that I couldn't finish it. I usually like the Dollop matcha but something about the quality has definitely changed. read more

A relatively small coffee shop but big in flavor. I stopped by before work and tried the Banana Bread Latte iced and it delivered. The store has a few small tables and a long bench across the window, but isn't geared towards working from. read more

I absolutely love matcha, and this was my first time trying a banana bread-inspired version--it did not disappoint. The baristas were all incredibly friendly and offered great recommendations, which made the experience even better. Plus, the price for an 8 oz latte and iced matcha was very reasonable. read more

Dollop Coffee - Banana bread matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love Dollop's branding and aesthetic! It's a cute little coffee shop near the office I wanted to give a try. They had a great variety of drinks on their menu, including a matcha option! The food menu is limited to an assortment of baked items and bagels. My basic order at any new coffee shop is an iced caramel latte (light ice). For $8 I did not think the latte was particularly good (and definitely not sweet enough if that's important to you - it is to me so I probably won't be returning). The packaging was also not great. The top and straw broke fairly quickly for me. In terms of service, I could tell that the barista put great care in making the coffee! read more

Service was great. Fast and friendly! Had the pistachio Latte and it was delicious Thank you for hospitality read more

I've come here maybe once or twice a year since they opened, hoping to have a better coffee each time, but unfortunately, I just left unimpressed. On my last visit, I tried the chai latte, and it came out super fast, so I'm curious if they just pour it out of a premade mix. IMO, there are just better coffee options around. read more

This place is fine if you are grabbing something quick. The espresso wasn't especially good so if you get lattes or something sugary, this pace is fine. Beats going to a Starbucks. read more

We came here Saturday morning for some coffee and it did not disappoint. I ordered the s'mores latte which was delicious and the rest of the group ordered the snickerdoodle latte which was also tasty but not too sweet. The shop is small but we were able to find a table right in the middle for our group of four. read more

This place used to be OK but they got new baristas, and the new baristas have no idea what a cortado is. Quality has gone down significantly here. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Cute shop but the coffee tasted burnt! The service was also not very friendly. Love trying new coffee shops but this one was a bit disappointing. read more

Cute coffee shop in the Loop! I stopped by here during my lunch break for a caffeinated treat. I got an iced matcha oat milk latte, which had a nice matcha flavor and was not bitter in the slightest. It was unsweetened though, so keep that in mind if you prefer your drinks with a little more sugar. Overall, a decent experience and would come again. read more

I work right in the building but I'm always here when there's a super long line so once I saw there wasn't a line then I went right in! I know of the design studio (Firebelly Design) who branded this shop so I was already in love with the aesthetic. I'm always on the search for coffee shops that offer great matcha. This one I can add to the list! They told me straight up that their matcha is unsweetened, but they have flavors that can sweeten the drink. There's a list by the cashier. I got ended up getting hazelnut. It was tasty. It's nice that there's unsweetened matcha so if I am not feeling like sugar then I can get it without sugar. There's tons of places whose matcha is too sweet and I need to drink some water after to clear the sweet taste from my mouth. I didn't get that here! So bonus! Overall, definitely worth going to! read more

My favorite coffee shop downtown! The staff is so nice and have great drink suggestions. Its become my third place, and i come here to do work a lot because the ambiance is so nice. They definitely have the best matcha downtown, and the new turkey club is sooooo good!! read more

Dollop is an order at the counter coffee-shop with multiple locations south of the river in downtown Chicago. There are many coffee options including drips, pour-overs and an Impressive tea collection as well. I had a drip coffee which was bold enough, though I still haven't had my fantasy dark, bold, non-acidic, not too bright coffee in Chicago. My wife had the green jasmine tea which compared to the one she had yesterday which had a more jasmine/floral presence, this one was heavy on the green and not so much on the jasmine / floral. She remarked she could have just ordered a "green tea". They have Vegetarian quiche available (which excite me) along with a veggie dandwich, and a Brie Sandwich with fig jam (also enticing to me a s vegetarian), but with biscuits on the menu, that's automatically the direction I default to. I had the egg and cheddar biscuit. I asked if they could make it with egg whites and they said "no", they get the eggs this way so it was a bit disappointing to me to learn the food was essentially not made to order. It also tasted a bit-reheated which is kind of obvious to tell with biscuits. It was also too hot when I received it...the cheddar cheese on it was over-melted and didn't have much of a taste. It tasted like I was getting biscuit and egg. Cheddar on a biscuit should be not quite so melted so the cheddar flavor shines through. I'd give the place another try if I'm back in Chicago...but with so many options downtown it wouldn't be top on the go-to list. read more

Yes, this Southern girl in Chicago does expect biscuits on a menu to be good. Why have so many options if they are not? The biscuit was slightly over cooked and then reheated in the microwave which created a weird chewy texture. The cheese was dripping off and I'm pretty sure it was Smuckers strawberry jam. No offense Smuckers, but you have no business being on a $7 biscuit in a city with this much good food. They also served all biscuits in a compostable clamshell even for those eating in and do not offer recycling. Pass on the biscuit. The latte was good but nothing earth shattering. read more

My favorite place to grab an Americano from, maybe I'm just addicted? But I swear Dollop makes the perfect iced americano. Also big props to the breakfast sandwich, the spicy mayo on the hot biscuit is so perfect. Servers are always nice and friendly, and can get really busy sometimes since it's a small location. read more

Apart from a few other things I like the vibe of this place, the interior ..the mood it gives in the first look. They have a lot of options starting from cold drinks to lunch/breakfast items....yeah you heard it right they have lunch sandwiches too. I tried Mexican Mocha(Hot) and iced matcha from this place. Mexican mocha has a lite spice touch to it and you can easily differentiate this from regular mocha. And the Matcha, I was too quick to not enquirer thoroughly about this and I ended up getting unsweetened one which of course tasted good. They have limited space for seating, high tables on the side are good for quick hangout. read more

Stopped by on Lolla weekend and the place was decently busy. I enjoyed my cold brew but there weren't many options for a grab and go breakfast. Based on other reviews, I was hoping for something to take back to my hotel for breakfast. Otherwise, coffee was ok but a little pricey in my opinion for what it was. Service was great and my drink came out quickly. read more

Need a quick pick me up in the loop near the Monroe blue line? Swing by Dollop. I ordered an iced lavender latte around 3pm on a weekday and I was impressed with how fast the drink was made. The lavender flavor is very strong but that is exactly how I like it. Not that many coffee shops offer lavender so if you're looking for a good lavender latte, then look no further and bookmark Dollop. The shop itself is small with a few tables with outlets ideal for laptops. There were plenty of seats along the window which are great for meeting up with friends or for a coffee date. I personally wouldn't study or do work here given the moderate noise level and few tables available. Lighting in the shop is bright with ample natural daylight. read more

My favorite mocha in Chicago. You can breath in the richness of the milk after every sip. The chocolate sauce is perfectly sweet. The beans so smooth and easy to drink. Service is fast and friendly so I ended up coming here every morning while I was in town for work. Will definitely be back on future trips. read more

Came in for a quick coffee and bagel, the staff was friendly and helpful. Usually I see long lines at this place but it was ok around 10am with no line. Nutella mocha was good. Not too overwhelming with Nutella flavor but u can def taste it. Herb bagel and cream cheese was really good! I want all my future bagels to be herb flavored! So flavorful! read more

I pass this place every day on my way to work. I love the cinnamon honey lattes. One day I decided to get breakfast and which resulted in a loss of 2 stars. I wasn't too impressed with the size of the sausage cheese biscuit that I paid for and the taste was meh. I am definitely sticking to just the coffee from now on. The location is always bustling so definitely order ahead if you're in a rush. read more

Two stars for the location and friendly cashier. Negative three stars for the surly barista who makes lattes with only espresso shots and foam.every.single.time. Maybe I'll ask for a macchiato next time and see what happens. read more

My first visit was last week. There was a problem with my order. Rather than post a negative review on Yelp, I contacted them. To my surprise, they responded immediately. And they made it right. A sign of a place that cares about its customers. I will return. Thanks Dollop. Much appreciated. read more

Very eye pleasing ambiance. The barista was helpful and provided good customer service. I'm not a fan of coffee, but it's rather cold outside and this is actually pretty good. Better than McDonalds. Bang for your buck fo sho. read more

Amazing latte, wonderful foam, strong flavor. The best latte I have gotten in Chicago this trip.

This is my "go to" stop, where I gather my wits and solidify my serenity before to go into the Metropolitan Correction Center to visit with the inmates. The coffee shop is eclectic, serving very delicious pastries and team items (I am a tea drinker), and the service is absolutely top-notch. The people who work here care about the people who patronize it and this is very obvious to anyone who hangs around for longer than a few minutes. I like the atmosphere so much that I come in a half hour early in order to just become a part of what happens when the regulars both gather here and shoot in and out. It seems like everyone knows everyone even though I know that is not the case. They are inside of the Monadnock Building in the South East Corner right under the "L" (Green and Pink lines). read more

Love dollop so much. The food and service is pretty incredible. Even thought they may screw brings up once in a while, the people are really kind.

Oh Dollop, why must you have less locations than Starbuck's? Especially since you're incomparable. I must have you more frequently, but I guess 5 days a week will be sufficient for now. But in all seriousness, Dollop is my favorite for a morning coffee run on my way to work or when I get a 15 minute break between working. In a weird way, I tried to find a reason to not like this place since I don't have one close enough to home (the addiction is real). The coffee is strong and the espresso is the most flavorful I have ever had. It is the only one that does not taste stale or burnt compared to the competitors. Also, this is the ONLY place I have ever ordered a latte from and it tasted more like espresso than it did milk. Heavenly! Which again, is why it is incomparable to any other coffee shop I have found in Chicago. I get withdrawals on Saturday and Sundays. read more

This pandemic has been long and hard but the crew at Dollop coffee in Streeterville has made it so much easier. They take customer safety seriously and they KNOW how to make good micro foam (no one else in Chicago knows how to do this right.) Specifically, Maria rocks both a coffee prep and making sure to share the love while staying safe. Throughout the pandemic she makes it a priority to write the nicest messages on EVERY ONE of my coffees, going that extra distance to make an impact on my day even when I can only run in and grab my cup and go. Maria notes have often been the highlight of my day and are the reason I keep coming back to this store. SHE'S THE ABSOLUTE BEST! read more

I visited on a Tuesday afternoon. The place was hopping with downtown employees and folks on their computers. I ordered a cortado, one of my favorite drinks, and really enjoyed it. The service was fast. While I waited for my drink I struck up a conversation with who turned out to be the manager of this location as he straightened up items in the store. Super nice and friendly guy :) This location has the equipment, coffee, and friendly and trained staff to make any visit a good visit. read more

I like the two Dollop locations in Streeterville and Gold Coast. This location was very disappointing - coffee was bitter, service was super slow, seating was minimal and uncomfortable. One of our drinks was handed over to us while leaking from the bottom and the barista could not be bothered to change the cup. read more
