Peet's coffee has a great plant based menu. It includes a variety of drinks and a sandwich. Which…read moreis entirely plant based. I really appreciate that because other coffee places have options but still include egg or dairy so it's not fully vegan. The everything plant based sandwich includes the beyond breakfast sausage, just egg, vegan cheddar on a thin everything bagel. It's super delish! and definitely a go to for me. Their horchata cold brew oat latte is also one of my faves from Peet's. This location is super busy but they always provide great customer service!

I ordered the Havana cappuccino (hot) which was delicious; not too sweet and a hint of cinnamon. My only critique of this Peets would be that it could be cleaner (I noticed crumbs on the windowsill, coffee/food stains on the walls, napkins on the floor).

La Colombe Coffee Workshop in Andersonville is a fantastic stop, especially if you're like me and…read morehave only ever seen their canned drinks in gas stations and grocery stores! I had never actually been to one of their physical locations before, so I knew I had to check out the coffee shop when I learned there was one right in the neighborhood. When you enter, you're immediately bathed in so much beautiful natural lighting. It feels extremely open inside with tons of space to move around. There are standard tables, chairs, and standing tables lining the walls, and everything is spaced really well apart so you never feel cramped. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Draft Latte with oat milk over ice. It was a nice early autumn treat that was much more pumpkin-forward than spice-forward, with a wonderfully creamy texture that didn't leave an overpowering pumpkin flavor lingering on your tongue. They only had a few available flavors to customize your latte, but the options they do offer seem to be done exceptionally well. It's a very decent stop if you aren't trying to do a ton of complex customization to your drinks and you're happy to accept things just as they're crafted!

On a scale from Dunkin Smooth to Battery Acid Starbucks, La Colombe's coffee isn't terrible. It…read morejust takes a pack and a half of sugar and half the cup filled with Half & Half. It's not too over-roasted and bitter, but just enough that I turn my cup into a mix of chemicals to smooth out the taste. I also hate coming here because I don't get a chill vibe at all; more comfortable seating would be appreciated. A dark gray concrete floor, a dusty-looking wood beamed ceiling, gray walls, and dark slip mats leading from the door to the register does not a enjoyable coffee shop make. I feel like they could put twice as many small tables and chairs in here than they have now and still have room for invading strollers. I guess I'm too used to the cozier layout, better pastries selection, and - sorry to say - friendlier team of Collectivo. Sorry y'all...I gotta be honest.

It's cute too in here. My latte was really good. Was the perfect ratio of milk to espresso and the cardamom rose was really good, not too strong or syrupy.

Normally I don't have any issues with this place but this morning I'm rather disappointed. I…read moreordered online so I could pick up while walking my dog-- they have a pick up window for this very reason. It's also one of the main reasons I order here because it's hard for me to justify $9-$10 a coffee with frequency. Well I get to the window and she sees me and I don't ring the bell for 5 minutes because I knew she saw me, thinking she would come over on her own... well she didn't, mind you, my coffee is ready and has been the whole time. Other people are coming in and grabbing theirs and walking out the whole time I'm not going in because I have my dog. It's been 8 minutes of me waiting & her still not coming to the window & I buzz the bell again and hold up my dogs leash- I mouth "i can't come in to get my coffee with her" "she says okay??? With her hands up". After 9 minutes she says what and I tell her my name for her to walk over and get the coffee sitting there the whole time, Do not have a walk up window for pet owners if you are going to be rude and not answer the window

Elevate Uptown is a great addition to the neighborhood. They have unique coffee options and a nice…read moresized area to sit down and get work done with plenty of outlets. I believe it is within an apartment so you will have people coming in and out. When you come in the counter is directly to your right and the seating is to your left. I ordered their Horchata Coffee this time and it was okay. A little heavy on the cinnamon to the point it overpowered the coffee taste, but it wasn't terrible. I prefer their Milano Latte though and definitely recommend it. I also had a donut and it was soft and sweet. The staff were friendly and quick to serve the coffee which was great.

Crema was such a nice little coffee shop. It's small, but the place has a lot of life to it. There…read morewas a steady flow of people coming in and out, everyone seemed comfortable, and it had that welcoming feel. The smell of coffee and everything being made behind the counter filled the whole place, which definitely made me hungry for something. The service was really friendly too. Everyone was nice. I ordered a hot chocolate, and honestly, it was exactly what I needed that morning. It came out nice and hot, with a smooth and creamy texture that made every sip easy to enjoy. The chocolate had a good sweetness to it, but there was also a slight bitterness underneath that gave it more depth. It had that rich cocoa flavor that stayed on your tongue for a little bit after each sip, while still being light enough to finish the whole cup. Nothing complicated. Just warm, creamy, chocolatey, and really good. Exactly what I needed to start my morning.

It Came To About $9 With Tip, Which Felt Pretty Steep For An Iced Latte But I Guess Thats The Norm Lately. I May Give Crema Another Try In The Future. Hopefully The Temperature Is More Comfortable And The Atmosphere Feels More Inviting Next Time. Until Then, I'd Recommend It As More Of A To Go Coffee Spot.

I got the honey lavender and cardamom rose lattes, which were good but I feel like they were a bit too similar. The lavender and rose elements were more subtle than I would prefer, but I did like that they weren't too sweet which let the espresso stand out PSA they also offers pup cups so overall pretty happy with my visit. Id certainly return if im in the area again and would love to try the other menu items, in addition to more seasonal drinks

The Lost Hours Coffee Shop is such a quaint spot, feeling incredibly spacious with its tall…read moreceilings and plenty of open seating framed by floor-to-ceiling walls. I went on a late Wednesday morning with no line. The mismatched, unique furniture gives the space a charming vibe reminiscent of an antique shop filled with fun odds and ends. I ordered a 20oz iced latte with oat milk and Toffee Crunch (they offer 16oz or 20oz sizes), and the flavors were deep and nicely balanced--slightly sweet without that offensively artificial taste you sometimes get at boutique coffee shops. Pricing was comparable to other coffee shops and on the same range of what I usually expect. Service was polite and quick. There were some pastry options but not many and nothing that really spoke to me so I didn't try any on this visit. My only real gripe was with the plastic cup of my drink. Maybe my morning workout made my grip a bit stronger than usual, but the plastic felt extra thin and excessively flexible. It might be an intentional choice for recycling or something, but I felt like I had to be careful walking around so I wouldn't squeeze my drink out or pop the lid off. That aside, it is located right by the Berwyn Red Line station, making it a great stop if you are heading that way and need a quick boost--just watch your grip!
