Loved the vibes here! Dog friendly place that also serves your pastries in cute dog bowls. So fun and different! It is quite chilly inside so I definitely recommend bringing a sweater if you plan to WFH there. Great place to WFH with plently of seating! Their vanilla latte was so good and their barista was very polite! read more

Ludlow's is quite a vibe with the dog pictures and decor on the walls as well as the ability to bring your dog into the store. Their coffee was decent as well. Long lines on the weekends but it all moved quickly. We got one of the specials and it was HOT. read more

I've been wanting to visit Ludlow's for a long time and I'm so happy I finally got the chance to! It's a cute little neighborhood spot and I of course love that it's dog-themed. And they take the theme seriously, I was served my croissant in a dog bowl! I ordered an iced vanilla latte and croissant and both were delicious. We tried to sit outside but it was a little too windy so we moved inside. It's a little chilly in there so bring a sweater if you plan on staying for a bit. The wifi worked great. It's an awesome spot get some work done! I loved my latte and croissant! I definitely want to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

Ludlow Charlingtons Coffee Shop - Blondie Brownie Latte w Oat Milk. Seasonal drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really liked the choices and the barista was friendly. I liked the concept, refined imperial dog rescue -- kitch, helpful. They served my hazelnut beignet in a dog dish which was funny, if odd. The ambiance implied soft space, but it was not super loungey, heavy, too dark maybe? More of a pop-in for takeaway than a third space. read more

Ludlow is a hidden gem! I've been in the area many times and I somehow never stopped inside. I was drawn in by their advertisement of a peppermint mocha. I'm so happy I stopped in because it was one of the best mocha's I've had in city. The coffee was delicious, I'm not familiar with the Counter Culture brand, and the peppermint wasn't overpowering along with not being too chocolaty. The cafe itself is very cute but it is jam packed with smaller tables. Ludlow is a cute place to work from if you're solo or a small group of people. I absolutely love the decor and the love that Ludlow shows to pitbulls. They donate 50% of their merchandise profit to Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control. I visited on a Saturday and the cafe was busy. Luckily I was just grabbing a coffee to-go. The staff I interacted with was friendly. Since it's a smaller cafe you have to be patient getting your coffee because they have a smaller staff so it takes a little longer to get your drink. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Such a whimsical coffee shop in the busy Lincoln Park area! My boyfriend and I were obsessed with the dog theme decor throughout the coffee shop. This coffee shop dedicates raising funds for the shelter dogs of Chicago, so you're buying tasty coffee and doing it for a great cause. I got my typical go to - iced latte with milk and vanilla and it was delicious. My boyfriend absolutely loved his snickerdoodle latte - the flavor was on point! Many people come here to chat or do work, so get a table or bar seat when you can as it appears always busy! read more

One of my go to coffee spots in LP! They have great espresso drinks and the pastry selection is usually solid. They have fun seasonal specials like the Maple latte currently is delicious.

My friend, Allison, suggested this place and it was worth the hype! Ludlow Charlingtons Coffee Shop is family-owned and founded in 2020, opening its doors amid the covid pandemic on August 2nd, 2021. Service was fast with one person manning the register and creating the beverages. For dog lovers, this place is a must as it is covered in dog artwork and has dog treats for sale, books about dogs, and merchandise with their dog-inspired logo. If you have a dog they will ask if your pup wants a treat when you walk in! Every dog owner's dream is when other people make their dog feel special and this place does the trick. Relaxing music is playing around two two-top tables of four and twelve-bar seats available for seating with patrons working on their laptops. A drip is $4 and the Strawberries and Cream Latte could not have tasted more like strawberries and cream. I wish I asked what they used for the cream element because it made the drink so velvety. I got it iced and it was an inspirational way to kick-off a Friday. I've also got the blueberry cobbler latte and an almond croissant. The almond croissant is top-tier quality being flakey and crunchy on the outside and oogey gooey on the inside. read more

Quaint little philanthropic coffee shop that gives 50 percent of their proceeds from the merch purchased at the shop to support dogs through Chicago's Orphan Animal Community. Upon walking in I felt like I was in a dark shop you'd find in Diagon Alley right out of a Harry Potter book. The walls are filled with portraits of dogs dressed as royalty which I half expected to start talking. My latte was great and had all the options I was looking for ( eg sugar free vanilla syrup and unsweetened almond milk ). Food options were limited to a few pasteries so go elsewhere for a more substantial meal. Great coffee/ lattes AND philanthropic owners? Of course I'll be back. Fun, random, quirky addition to the neighborhood. read more

Popped in before going to a nearby appointment. This coffee shop is so cute! Dog lovers are going to want portraits like the ones they have here. Small inside but plenty of seating to enjoy your coffee or pastry. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful! Parking sucks in this neighborhood. I've driven by several times but never had success in getting a parking spot. So this visit was my first time in as I was able to score parking! Hopefully I can pop in again soon! read more

Coffees are ok we thought they were gonna have more variety. But we order horchata and the strawberry they were both very good the barista was very sweet. The decor is very original. However The service was terrible the girl that was taking the orders on Sunday Father's Day had an attitude she was unapproachable. The entire time she kept scanning me. We found a new cafe a few shops down the avenue so were simply never coming back to this one. read more

This is a cute little tiny coffee shop. I've been in the area when I've been looking for coffee shops since it has shown up in my Yelp search, but I hadn't located it until today. I was only a block or two away so today was the day I got to try it! Of course there are themed coffee shops out there and this has a light theme, of dogs--fancy Victorian era dogs in particular. There's a sign on the window saying that the city won't allow them to have dogs inside but if you have a service animal they're welcome--perhaps their subtle way of telling patrons to say their dog is a service animal since they can't question it? Half the proceeds from their branded merchandise goes toward dog rescue charities and the photos on the wall are inspired by furry friends from their favorite charity. I picked up a pumpkin pie latte and chai latte. The chai was okay; I wouldn't have minded if it had a bit deeper flavor, but I would have it again. I was told that the pumpkin pie latte was EXCELLENT. Obviously the coffee shop that shall not be named has made pumpkin flavored lattes an annual Epic Event but this was better than anything they could produce. I also got an apple danish and raspberry beignet, which were fine. I had a bite of the beignet and I probably liked it better than the danish, although I must say the lamination on the dough for the danish was perfect. The beignet is not a Louisiana-style beignet (so don't say you weren't warned) and it was really good--not too sweet and there was not too much filling. And the jam inside was excellent. Ludlo Charlington's has a Print With Me station, which is handy and would have been useful if I could have remembered what it is that I thought yesterday I needed to have printed. Most of the seating is the counter that runs along the wall and front window; however, there are two tables inside and two outside when the weather permits. read more

Fantastic coffee shop with great, quick service! My husband and I love coming here because they are dog friendly as well. Every time we go the barista offers my dog a treat! I've been ordering their maple latte with oat milk which I believe is a seasonal drink. It's a delicious flavor without being overly sweet. They also have a horchata latte that I'd like to try sometime. It is a fairly small space and it can get crowded on the weekends to the point where you might have to take your drink to go unless you want to hover to find a table/seat. I definitely recommend trying Ludlow Charlingtons! read more

My friend and I went there to grab a coffee when wandering around the Lincoln Park. It's a pet-friendly coffee shop, and there are many cute pics on the wall! They also sell dogs' food made from non-meat materials. I got a medium hot latte with oat milk. It tasted very thick, which was just what I want in such a cool day! My friend got a small hot chocolate. Chill!!! The people there were really nice. And as I saw, it's a good place to study since it's quite and cozy inside. People there didn't talk very loudly, they just chatted in a polite and respectful manner. Really enjoyed my experience there! read more

Very sweet place! Not a super huge shop but feels quaint and cozy. I got a latte, my friends got hot chocolate and chai. The chai had "the right amount of spice without being too sweet" and hot chocolate was "rich and creamy." My latte was amazing. We got 8oz which normally feels small but they came in these cute glasses which I loved! I cannot speak for the sweets as I did not try any but my friend said the donuts are amazing. I will have to try when I come back! read more

Some of the worst coffee I've had in Chicago. Had a berry cobbler latte, which was supposed to be a seasonal special. It straight up tasted like cough syrup and had a really bad artificial aftertaste. I decided to say something to the barista, who, to their credit, was very kind and accommodating about the situation. They gave me a plain iced coffee. Unfortunately, the chance for redemption didn't work out because the iced coffee tasted like poorly brewed, old, stale coffee. Unfortunately will not be returning. read more

This is the cutest coffee shop! It's small but surprisingly enough seating for a lot of people, my colleagues and I still were able to work comfortable from here this morning. The decor is paw-mazing! I'm obsessed with all of their royal dog portraits!! So regal and hilarious. The coffee and pastries are delish too. I ordered their maple latte and an apple danish (served in a dog bowl!) I wanted three danishes, I'll be honest. It was so good. And the latte art was ON POINT. read more

Definitely a shop better suited for quiet work days. I love how this shop gives back to to the pup community! read more

I came here with a friend after our other friend (Leland - check out her yelp review(s)!) recommended this coffee shop and we got 2 of the seasonal lattes (pumpkin pie latte & i got the peppermint mocha). The coffee is really good!! The portraits of the dogs on the walls and the dog bowls that the pastries are served in add a bit of fun to the typical coffee shop experience but the high quality avoids any "gimmicky-"-ness. I love the mission of this coffee shop & will definitely be back. read more

Ludlow Charlingtons Coffee Shop - nut danish & croissant (+free sticker!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This such a cute little cafe in Lincoln Park. They have great seasonal lattes. We tried the strawberry mocha and the snickerdoodle latte. The strawberry mocha literally tastes like strawberry icecream in a cup. The snickerdoodle latte was great too. The cinnamon wasn't overpowering. The service was fast. The decor is very old school European. This is a dog friendly cafe. I am taking a star off due to lack of food options. They only had a few croissants left even though it was early morning. Pretty sure the croissants were leftovers from the previous day. They have a couple tables for group seating and big table with individual chairs to sit and work from. Overall, a cute little cafe to try great coffee beverages from, but be mindful of the lack of food options. read more

Wonderful coffee shop!! It's quiet and peaceful and the seating is perfect for working (lots of outlets!) the music is slow piano jazz which makes great background noise. I enjoyed the matcha I got here to go, but what sets this place apart is the cute mugs they put their "for here" drinks in. It really elevates the experience having your coffee in a glass mug with some pretty latte art. The cappuccino was delicious! Definitely going to make this a new work from home spot!m. read more

Every time I come here it is always a pleasant experience. From the service to the products, this cafe is a staple for the area. The staff is always welcoming and has great recommendations if you want to venture out and try new things. The menu is not extensive or overly complicated, and the quality of coffee is shown by that. In my opinion, the price for alternative milk is a bit high. However, its not far off from other places. So I cant knock a star off for that. Definitely recommend the cobbler and horchata lattes. read more

This relatively new, family-owned coffee shop is very cute and unique. Great place to study or work due to muted piano music and ambient coffee noises. There is free wifi and even a printer available for guests! But if your VPN is picky like mine you won't be able to use it - similar browser-based authentication to many other Chicago shops, I'm noticing. Bundle up if you're here on a cold day - the front door is left propped open. The prices are average and the selection of both coffee and pastry is decent. The sources for the dairy and coffee beans are carefully selected. Happy cows produce more nutritious dairy and happy farmers produce the best single-origin coffee. Moreover, 50% of the profits go towards supporting local Chicago dog shelters. I got the macchiato and it was a great standard macchiato to wake me up this morning. My companions got a hot and cold horchata latte, respectively. I don't think horchata + coffee is my thing but they seemed to enjoy it. The barista was a bit cold with me this morning. He was nicer to other patrons, so not sure if something was going on or if he was just tired this morning. We all have those days. But other than that it was a great experience. I'll surely be back if I'm ever in this part of town and need a boost. read more
