a coffee machine and a coffee cup on a counter

Finally a boutique in downtown Chicago to purchase pods and accessories! Conveniently located in Bloomingdale's, this boutique has everything you need for your Nespresso consumptions. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the samples were premade and watery. Couldn't drink it but at least it was something.

I walked into the Nespresso Boutique inside Bloomingdales with excitement. The lovely boutique closed in the Medinah building, leaving a quest for Nespresso coffee refills. I had gone up to the Nespresso Boutique at the Old Orchard Center in Skokie. There I received exceptional service, just as I had at the Medinah location, leading me to expect service that would be comparable at the very least. Wow! It was shockingly the opposite!! I walked into the very small store and was called back by a young lady. She called out, "Can I help you?" I had not asked for assistance since I was just picking up some coffee, but I thought it was nice that she offered so I went back to ask a couple of questions. Strangely, as I asked my questions, she did not answer me or even look up from her computer. I waited a moment but still no answers or eye contact. I told her it looked like she was busy and I would come back. She snipped "I'm working on something very important!" Hmmm, then why did she call me over... Another staff member was there as well and said nothing. As I walked away I heard the woman who had been speaking to me say to her colleague, "She's so rude!" Wait. What? Me? I walked back and asked why she thought I was rude, since she called me over then ignored me to the point where it was comical. She replied in a very harsh tone, "I have no idea what you are talking about!" I asked this representative of the Nespresso brand, her name. She said it was Ashley with a smirk. I looked around the tiny store, took a couple of photos for Yelp as I went over what had just transpired. I was certainly out of the mood to spend my money here. I watched the two staff members working on filling curbside pick up orders. I guess that was much more important than the customer in the store that she called over and left standing there ignored. Before I left, I asked the other woman about Ashley calling me rude. She became very dramatic and said with a flourish, "It's almost quitting time for me. I didn't hear a thing! I just want to leave this job and go home!" It sounded like she was a factory line worker, who clocks in & out for her dreaded shift. Certainly not a happy staff member that enjoys representing the product she is selling. Shame on you Nespresso! Great job hiring the right people and training them so well! (SARCASM) This shameful display of horrendous customer service or lack there of, is absolutely unacceptable for a company, let alone one that is offering high end products. Not only is this disappointing but also so offensive that I will not be shopping here again. Although I live just blocks from Bloomingdales, I will not be spending my money at this coffee boutique location. Both Bloomingdales and Nespresso should certainly correct the service staff issues that are most certainly detrimental to the reputation and integrity of both stores! I rarely give ONE STAR reviews and it pains me to do so, however Ashley and her minion colleague handed it out to me proudly. Future customers beware!!!

Needed to buy some new capsules for my Nespresso essenza mini machine, and so it was super convenient that a dedicated Nespresso boutique is situated right in the 900 North Michigan Ave shops building! (Note: it used to be inside the third floor Sur La Table shop, but is now moved to the first floor inside the Bloomingdale's). Fantastic service, as the staff had great recommendations as to which capsules catered to which types of personal tastes (e.g. I prefer a dark espresso, so I got the exclusive edition Galapagos and the Napoli capsules). Plus, they give you some free samples! Cannot wait to return once my current set of capsules are complete!

My deal. 15 sleeves and my gift:) gonna soon for pumpkin too ;)

I like to get to know the vibe of the city where I'm visiting. I was immediately impressed by the semi industrial look of this particular location. I have since found out that the locations have their own unique decor, from what I was told. I heard that they bake their own pastries and roasted their own coffee beans. So that was neat and I tried both. I had a chocolate croissant, which was absolutely delicious. For my drink I ordered the spicy mocha, which is like a Mexican mocha with a little bit of extra spice added. It was very good. However, I ordered it hot and received lukewarm coffee. This is the second time I've gone to a coffee shop and the coffee wasn't piping hot. I don't know what this trend is. But anyway, the coffee tasted great, otherwise. The location was fairly busy for a Friday mid morning. Several people were in there with their laptops, working away. Oh, I must mention the music. Whoever chose the music that day had excellent taste!

Meh. We got 3…read morecoffees and 3 pastries. All pretty bland and with the exception of one latte, the others were not enjoyed. Pastries also can't be warmed up/microwaved. Overall, I'm sure the good reviews exist for a reason but we didn't enjoy it or experience what the ratings would be about as the items were average and subpar.

Walked in and immediately greeted with the smell of donuts, yum!…read more We asked for donut recs and got one of each of their most famous flavors: vanilla bean glazed and old fashioned. Both were delish! The glazed donut was fluffy, sweet and my fave. My husband loved his old fashioned donut! He said it was crunchy yet moist. We also both got the Hot N' Spicy chicken sandwich which was so good!! Flavorful and spicy, with toppings that helped add some freshness to it. Pair it with a soft brioche bun, and this sandwich was heavenly! Def check this spot out for breakfast! One of the best places we tried while in Chicago!

Pulled up just before 6:30 AM on a weekday and there were just a few folks ahead of us in line, but service is quick. Cake donuts were actually pretty solid here; the Blueberry Cake Donut was the best item, super soft and moist with a good amount of berries throughout. The Pistachio Cake Donut for some reason was texturally firmer and drier than the other. Unfortunately, the fried donuts were all misses. The dough was just really dense and none of the toppings really hit. The Glazed Donut just made me sad that the dough was bad and the bacon on the Maple Bacon Donut wasn't crispy, so you got a cold, chewy, greasy bite that wasn't super pleasant. The chopped dough pieces in the Apple Fritter were also oddly firm instead of soft. For a place with rave reviews, I was pretty bummed by the donuts, but maybe the fried chicken sandwich is where it's at.

There were a few seats inside that the rear of my family sat down at while I waited in line to order. The little cafe was so aesthetically pleasing and had so many different things to look at while waiting. As a speciality latte, they had featured a salted honey cold foam latte. I decided to try that iced and it was amazing. My husband got the vanilla latte and didn't like it as much, it was pretty watery and didn't have much flavor neither coffee nor vanilla. The rest of the store did open at 10, so we "shopped" around a little while sipping our coffees. When we went to leave the line was wrapped around the outside of the building. Would definitely recommend getting there early if you go on the weekend.

Overall, I did not enjoy this strange turn from Italian food I am used to. I am not sure if this…read moreplace is a fusion restaurant with another culture because the food that I was expecting to be Italian was not giving Italy. Typical bruschetta you see has tomato, which was what I was hoping for when I ordered it, but there were no tomatoes at all. Instead, there were green peas, and a whole lot of cheeses on top consisting of whipped ricotta cheese. The taste made me regret getting the bruschetta, which I usually love. And the gnocchi dish... don't even get me started. The texture made me think I was eating raw dough from my baking sessions. It looked promising when the dish first came out, but the mozzarella cheese on top was chewier than the gnocchi itself. The gnocchi would just become a strange mash when poked with by my fork. The gnocchi was overcooked which resulted in a mushy paste when it should have been pillowy and have a slight resistance when bitten into. Maybe their other foods may have been good, but the combo I got was not filling. I barely touched the gnocchi.

On a recent work trip to Chicago, I had the chance to experience all of Eataly's offerings. During…read moremy first visit, I picked up some sweet treats to enjoy after dinner. First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.
