[[HIGHLIGHT]]When you first walk in, it's a retail space with women-owned brands, jewelry, cards, and gifts everywhere. Then the cafe is in the back with a side area for working. It's definitely aesthetic, but honestly a little overstimulating for me since even the walls are covered in products.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The workspace itself is still fine though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was really nice. They were patient and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The drinks are definitely pricey ($13 each). The date foam latte was actually really good though. Nutty, foamy, and the espresso strength was perfect. My only issue was that it got too sweet from the brown sugar + date syrup combo. The banana cloud matcha leaned way more dessert drink than matcha. The banana cloud itself was AMAZING. Super creamy and actually tasted like banana, plus the dried banana on top was so good. But the matcha flavor got overpowered and wasn't earthy at all but you can still taste the matcha. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this spot to work from home or just hangout and browse their retail space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have such cute items![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got their matcha latte with honey and it was so creamy and the perfect pick me up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was great and the space was very bright and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved it! I will be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is THE cutest spot. Nomad is a cafe, shop, and co-working space that is thoughtfully curated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered an iced cookie butter latte which I think was a specialty drink. This was so good! I was worried it would be a little too sweet but it was actually balanced really nicely. I loved browsing the retail space which had a little bit of everything -- accessories, homeware, journals/books, and even clothes. The wifi worked great, the barista was awesome, and the space is fabulous. I had been wanting to check out Nomad for so long and I'm so happy I finally did! I will definitely be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes at this coffee shop are great - relaxed and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also sell a bunch of cute housewares, jewelry and other goodies. Quite pricey but fun to browse! Would be good if I was looking for a gift. The service was friendly and accommodating. Didn't love the drink I got - the banana cloud cold brew - and it was $12 so UGH. I asked for it half sweet and probably shouldn't as it was quite bitter. Banana flavor was too subtle and the cold foam instantly liquidated and didn't add much to the drink. I love a garnish so the dried banana pieces were a nice touch. The spinach feta quiche was redeeming, as it was excellent. Perfectly flakey crust with a flavorful filling. It did take awhile to heat up but she told me it takes 13 mins to heat up. It's not a coffee shop I can see myself wanting to return to so that's why I gave it 3 stars. read more

I ordered the gingerbread matcha. -Not sweet just the right amount of sweetness to it. - Gingerbread taste wasn't overpowering and the cookie made it a nice little touch. - Very friendly staff, ordering was simple/quick and turn around time for beverage was average wait time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating and could get crowded, I was lucky to enjoy it by the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If ever back in Chicago, I'd love to try other beverage options. Thanks read more

Been here a couple times since moving to Chicago and it's one of my favorite spots to get a matcha, or a hot drink to get out of the cold. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee shop/gift shop is so cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a lot of seating and I love browsing the gifts and trinkets while waiting for my drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually get a matcha with oat milk and honey which is delicious. The matcha is always vibrant green and I can actually taste it (!!). It doesn't just end up tasting like sweetener or oat milk. Last time we came in my boyfriend got the hot chocolate (extra hot) and it was absolutely delicious. I don't usually buy hot chocolates out but I would definitely come back for this one another time. read more

Ordered a ham and Swiss croissant - buttery and good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cute place with different seating arrangements to work, study, or catch up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a variety of trinkets available for purchase. Limited hours as they're only open 10 AM - 4 PM. My friend ordered a seasonal drink - cloud matcha drink and liked it. Coconut water is the base and the matcha was faint. With the syrup, it had a stronger Pandan flavor. Size was decent but specialty drinks are on the higher price end. read more

Super cute interior and wasn't that busy prior to 10am on a weekend. Great place if you're looking for a hidden gem study spot with large tables with several outlets and also there is a private room you you can reserve for a fee. Great spot also if you're just looking for an all in one with some random shopping items, coffee/matcha, and a nice lounging place to chat. The matcha is mid, mostly syrup flavor and a bit overpriced for the quality. read more

Super cute spot! Would be a good place to work out of! Staff were friendly and drinks were made quickly! I got the cloud matcha which is a speciality drink! I love this! The coconut water and the foamy matcha was soooooo good together. Unfortunately the matcha for a small was $14. This is hard to justify to get again. $14 is a bit steep. read more

Nomad Chicago - Coconut cloud matcha - Cafes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yikes! $16 for some sort of steamer. Tasted like water. I have to pay rent so can't afford to visit here again. Very intrigued that they have only a single $ category and shows up when you search "cheap eats" on Yelp...I've lived in Chicago almost 10 years and have never bought a coffee even close to this price. Also once again it had no coffee in it LOL I made the mistake of picking up a little sweater to pass the time as I took more than 15 minutes for my steamer and all the clothing was in the $200 range. Just call me poor next time! read more

Nomad Coffee Bar feels like one of those neighborhood spots you're glad hasn't turned into a chain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is cozy but not cramped, with warm lighting and a lived-in feel that makes it easy to settle in with a laptop or meet a friend for a slow catch-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not trying too hard to be aesthetic -- it just naturally feels like a place people actually use.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee itself is well executed. On my visit, I tried their Ube latte, and it really stood out -- creamy, slightly nutty, and visually beautiful without being overwhelmingly sweet. It's the kind of seasonal specialty drink that shows they're willing to experiment while still getting the balance right. Their espresso base also had good depth without leaning bitter, and milk texture was done properly. From a vegetarian standpoint, there are a few solid pastry options, and everything feels fresh rather than mass-produced. It's the kind of place where a simple croissant and coffee actually feels satisfying. Service was friendly and relaxed -- not overly chatty, but welcoming enough that you don't feel rushed out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's clearly a regular's spot, and that neighborhood energy adds to the charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Is it flashy? No. But that's kind of the point. Nomad works because it's consistent, comfortable, and easy to return to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a dependable Chicago coffee shop with personality and a creative seasonal drink lineup, Nomad is a strong pick. read more

The drinks are not bad but probably not something I would come back for unfortunately. The specialty drinks here are like $12-$15 a cup for a fancy latte or matcha!!! The lemon latte was interesting and the coffee taste was strong. The cold brew was okay, pretty standard. Service was also okay, they took our order at the kiosk and didnt have much interaction after that. The store is set up really nicely though! I liked the decorations and the overall aesthetic was nice. Just the pricing for their specialty drinks is crazy, thats like a whole meal!! read more

Super cute space and has a little shop area as well for little trinkets. I came specifically to try their matcha and it was not bad, definitely better than a lot of other matchas in the city that I've had. It was foamy and even without sugar the drink was good. The matcha flavor came through and tasted smooth, and they hand whisk the matcha. My only gripe is that I paid $8 for this and it's pretty overpriced for a matcha latte that meets expectations. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nomad is a super cute spot, but definitely overpriced for what it is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their gift shop is adorable, but $30 for a plastic hair clip is insane (especially when I have found the same ones on Amazon for $9.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have a nice coworking space with lots of seating and outlets, which is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee and food is equally overpriced.

4.5*!! Nomad Chicago = elite vibes!!! I stopped by on a freezing Sunday morning for quick bite. I ordered the Lavender Latte with a wellness add on of collagen and it had just the right amount of lavender; floral without being overpowering. My friend and I shared their roasted red pepper baguette which super flavorful. We also tried their focaccia, which was super delicious. The combination of creamy burrata, olives and a rich tomato basil pesto spread was very fresh and well balanced. The only downside? The wait time was pretty long and for such a big space, there's surprisingly limited seating so I wish they had more room for people to sit and enjoy their food. That said, the cafe itself is very cute. It has a cozy apothecary vibe with lots of cute things to explore while you wait. Overall, definitely worth a visit! read more

I think this is one of my favorite cafes that will be on my regular rotation! I almost hesitate to post this review because I want to keep it secret! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe in here, the products offered, the calm and quiet space to work, the mission, EVERYTHING![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their assortment of products is eclectic, and I always find several of interest. I recently purchased a rose-scented body oil that has made my self-care routine more luxurious and has made my skin look better! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I never need to use my headphones (unless I am working on an online course), because their playlist is fire/awesome![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The other customers are respectful and quiet, which is unusual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So I love that everyone is keeping the vibe of the space an enjoyable one as I have found it challenging to find a coffee shop with good coffee, enough seating, and low volume.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a decent-sized conference room that you can rent, which is a nice option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee is on the pricier side, but about the going rate for this neighborhood. They have interesting seasonal drinks that you have to try. I recently had their pumpkin pie latte (syrup made in-house) that I think is almost better than pumpkin spice lattes I've had at other coffee shops. The staff is friendly and wonderful as well. read more

Nomad is a coffee shop/store/co-working/study space. They even have a room you can reserve, just have to talk to staff. It's not bad, they have good options and their coffee is decent. It is definitely on the more expensive side. At one point I would have said it was overhyped from how much it showed up on social media, but now I would say it's expensive coffee but you're paying for the ambiance. Today we just stopped in to kill some time and ended up getting the Birthday Cake and Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie. Definitely overpriced, $4.75 per cookie. They heated them up, but not long enough as just the top was warm but the inside and bottom were cold, so that was a bummer. read more

My friend and I stopped by after bodyrok and we were in awe of how big this coffee / boutique store was! There is a whole conference like room for working or studying, lots of cute (a little overpriced) boutique items, and of course, the cafe. Even though the space is incredible, I feel like space is wasted on the large tables displaying the boutique items. Could benefit from having more tables since people were just standing around and leaning against the displays anyways. We both got the ube tiramisu hot and cold.. let me just start by saying wow $17 with tax and tip for a latte is crazyyyy.. is this California?! I don't even think California would charge this much! I wasn't sure what the tiramisu part of the drink was.. the lady finger? It was stale and not good at all. The drink itself tasted watered down and there was little to no essence of "ube" besides the faint lavender color. Not sure what I was expecting with the aesthetic drinks but for the price, we were not pleased. Nonetheless, this is definitely a cute place to catch up with girlfriends or buy cute Knick knacks for home decor or gifts. I'd stick to getting my coffee elsewhere though. read more

Finally had an opportunity to check out Nomad. New to the neighborhood and had walked by it a ton of times. It's a combo of a coffee place and shop. Pros: -clean -spacious -visually pleasing environment -plenty of outlets for power cords Cons: -very expensive (drink was $13 pre-tax and tip) -drink was lukewarm and tasted like any other matcha latte (this was the saddest part for me - sigh) -music being played repeats same playlist in less than an hour -lots of trial and error getting on WiFi Verdict: eh If you go, get a standard coffee drink and ask for it extra hot. Bring AirPods or headphones. Have a backup WiFi option (hotspot) if you intend to work there. read more
