I had an amazing honey almond milk latte that was memorable and my companion had an orange mocha latte. This cafe has a cool retro vibe. It was too chilly to sit on the patio, but it's super cute. Love that there's a parking lot in the back. Service was friendly and on point. read more

This place has a wonderful old school coffee cafe feel, modestly sized, but packs a punch in terms of coffee quality. If one is looking for straight coffee instead of "fru fru" stuff with syrups and all, this is the place to go, they excel at this. On our visit, they had a menu with no less than seven offerings for pourover, with a variety of origins and processing. Using Origami drippers (similar to V60), the baristas will carefully craft your cup to perfection. Our party sampled four of the offerings on our visit, and they were all outstanding. If espresso is your thing, there's only one on offer, Reprise's Space Flower espresso, a more traditional espresso but with a fruity twist, it was satisfying as a straight shot, but if you're looking for a distinctly third wave or highly fruity shot, this isn't it. I'd love for them to pull some of the pourover coffees as espresso, but alas. Bottom line, this was a great visit with some wonderful coffee. Highly recommended if you're in the area, and almost mandatory if you're a big pourover fan. read more

There's a very tight shared parking lot behind the cafe. The interior is pretty with beautifully painted flowers. I tried the maple latte which wasn't too sweet. They don't have any sugar free syrups which is a bummer. read more

This place has been on my list for quite a while and every time I'm back in Chicago, I always miss it. Well I finally made it here and it is such a cute cafe! no zoom or phone calls so it's a nice place to work as long as you're not doing that. I got a decaf Americano and a red velvet donut. Both were delicious. The barista was really nice too. read more

Beautiful setting on a bustling corner in Avondale. Prime location for foot traffic, I was immediately relieved when I saw a sign on the door advertising a zoom meeting free environment (sorry job, no impromptu video calls iykyk!). An otherwise great spot to camp out for some independent study, lots of seating, both indoor and on their charming patio space out back. The menu was expansive and creative -- red wine caramel latte, what?! Visually striking wall art, seemingly locally sourced gifts, friendly helpful team at the counter. Cute spot for a date or meetup. 10/10 read more

The customer service here has gotten way better over the last few months. My husband and I have been coming by weekly and have been greeted by nice cashiers. Drinks are much better also! read more

Staring with the positives, the decor was beautiful and the staff were all super sweet. I read some reviews of not so great service so I was a little worried but everyone was so kind. I got their seasonal cardamom honey latte and even though I got it with an extra shot of espresso, I felt like I couldn't really taste it. The flavor was delicious tho. With almond milk and an extra shot, my drink was a little over $8 which I feel like is typical for speciality lattes in Chicago. I'd probably stop by again if I was in the neighborhood but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Where have all the yelpers gone? No reviews in 7 months? That's crazy! I came here for a quick cup of coffee. The staff was great and although I took my coffee to go, this wouldn't be a bad place to sit down, relax and sip on some coffee. It looked very inviting and cozy. They do have a lot of options to order. Their Cafe con Leche caught my eye. When I think of Cafe con Leche, I think of strong Cuban coffee, and then you add some Azucar and you get a really sweet and strong coffee. Unfortunately, their version didn't come close. While it was still tasty, it should not be named Cafe con Leche. Would probably try something else next time though. read more

The staff is so nice and very helpful. The coffee is amazing and I just love stopping in for a coffee. This is such a cute cafe, I love it! read more

Lovely space, creative latte ideas in theory, but slightly watery execution of the lattes and coffee character itself didn't come through too well. Service a bit apathetic. Maybe I got an off day. read more

I've driven by several times and haven't had occasion to stop, but today was the day. I love that they have a large, covered outdoor space in the back between the parking and the shop. There's very much a retro vibe happening here along with a tropical cabana sort of feel, and it looks really comfy with the nice plush chairs and whatnot (I stopped in to pick up and go, so I didn't get to sit and enjoy). They also appear to have a shop bird, though they were hiding when I was here. The drinks are just ok. At least, the one I had. My chai was not very robust which was a disappointment. It had some flavor, but just a bit weaker than I'd hoped. I also tasted a bit of hibiscus lemonade and it was alright. I neglected to ask if it was homemade lemonade and that is totally on me. They use Simply Lemonade (it was being delivered whilst we were there). I got a rosemary caramel sea-salt latte for my significant other and they thought it was quite good. That's something I did very much like about The Avondale Coffee Club--they had quite a few drinks that seemed a little unique, like the rosemary. It was worth a visit. read more

Fun spot! This place was super busy on a Sunday morning where every table and high chair was taken. The staff was super friendly and warm. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and my boyfriend ordered a maple cinnamon latte. I enjoyed my latte overall, there wasn't anything wrong or anything outstanding. My boyfriend really enjoyed his latte, the cinnamon was a nice subtle kick! Prices were reasonable and would love to come back to do some work or read here! read more

The perfect matcha latte! Lately, the matcha lattes I've had, have been a bit too sweet, but they got it right here! I had lavender and vanilla added and it just came out so perfect! Also, this is the first cafe that I've seen offer macadamia milk and it was delightful. read more

I went to Avondale Coffee Club for my first time this morning and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a new, cozy spot as I've tried a lot of coffee shops in Chicago and this place is such a gem. When I walked in, one of the first things I noticed was signs noting no phone calls or Zoom calls allowed which I am a huge fan of. The cafe was cute, cozy, and had the perfect noise level which allows customers to have conversation or work quietly in peace rather than screaming over music like other cafes in the city. I ordered the Maple + Cinnamon iced latte and it was everything I wanted and more. I especially appreciated the fact that the flavor didn't taste fake/artificial - it was flavorful while not being overwhelming. My fiancé ordered the Madagascar Vanilla latte and loved his as well. We also ordered a vanilla donut and a chocolate croissant which were both very good as well. I can't say enough great things about Avondale Coffee Club and truly cannot wait to return again! Do not miss out on this hidden gem. read more

Yay yay ! nothing better than finding an awesome new coffee spot walking distance from home. You know a latte is legit when it comes complete with custom foam design. I had the honey latte with almond milk. The custom all their own flavoring ( no sugar free syrups / flavoring around if that's an issue ). Decor is adorable and plenty of seating options from wooden tables to do work, comfortable couches and big lounge chairs. This place is elegant and adorable. Free parking for an hour in the back too ( enter lot off Belmont) . Not many food options - just a couple of sweet treats available but I'll be back for the lattes for sure... maybe tomorrow !!! read more

Avondale is our favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. Love the ambiance, selection of beverages, rotating seasonal menu, focus on sustainabiliity and overall vibe. The Mad Vanilla is our go to but you can't go wrong with any tea or coffee option. Most importantly support this local small woman owned business. read more

While visiting my son in Belmont area, I was happy to find two great coffee shops within walking distance! From the moment you walk in, Avondale has a fun ambience and a fun range of interior and exterior spaces! I was up before everyone else, so I took my sketchbook and settled in with a tasty honey latte (hot, cuz I'm old) and proceeded to partake of the vibe! The staff was super mellow and courteous. I only had the coffee but there were pastries looked delicious. Came back a day later for round two of drink and draw. Check them out! read more

Really cute coffee shop. My first time in there. Espresso was good and not too bitter. Ample seating. I appreciated that they asked people not to take zoom calls in there. I think they have food offerings, but it was late in the day and they were out. Street parking isn't great but I will definitely come back some time. read more

Excellent place for coffee & WiFi. Customers are serious workers on their computers. Great place to come alone if you need quiet or need to study or work. My mocha was exquisitely prepared. And tasted so good, especially on a rainy afternoon. Went well with reading a chapter from "The Everlasting Man" by GK Chesterton. A happy customer here! read more

This is one of my favorite local coffee shops! The coffee is so great, they roast their own beans. The baristas are always friendly and the space is so inviting. I love all of their plants that they have! They also have a very nice outdoor patio in the back. read more

Good coffee and loved the back outdoor seating when we went it was nice to hang back there .

We really enjoyed this cosy coffee shop. Their lattes were so good. We came back for the lavender one the next day. They also have Komunity Kombucha in stock for a reasonable price. We loved the patio area and free parking. Staff and the owner were super friendly and helpful. The vegan matcha muffin with raspberry filling was our fav. read more

I'd say the coffee and service was good. I think what I liked the best was the atmosphere. There's a good amount of seating. Not to mention, a no calls/virtual meetings rule. So if you're planning on coming here to work remotely - maybe reconsider? read more

This is probably the best coffee shop in the city in terms of seating options! So many options! Bar seating overlooking the windows, couches, armchairs, tables. So many seats. And there's wifi! The coffee itself was great. A good iced latte that just tasted right. And they had a lot of pastry options if you want a sweet treat. read more

Great coffee. Super vibe. Knowledgeable staff. I was pleasantly surprised. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I will stop by.

All the vibes! Chill, retro, craft, plants, natural light, brick, pops of color, wood, awesome latte flavors. Latinx / Women owned! Parking in the back or street, friendly baristas, and a sign letting you know that they're the home of the "raspberry caramel sea salt latte" (something like that... I know I'm close!) which yes, is all one thing, and yes, is delicious. Outdoor seating & indoor seating, lots of space, on a nice busy corner if you like to look outside while you do whatever coffee things you do. read more

Great spot to grab a drink- coffee, tea, or other - either to go or to catch up with friends. Cool retro decor inside and charming patio. The coffee isn't weak, but not overly strong; smooth and not bitter. I ordered the bourbon vanilla latte with oatmilk. A little pricier than other places, but I definitely enjoyed it. I didn't try the pastries, however the rosemary caramel was a new, and enjoyable, flavor profile. Definitely a place to stop when in the neighborhood. read more

Lovely outdoor space and some fun comfortable tables inside. Latte with their house "award winning" espresso was pretty good - a little acidic for my taste.

Finally a comfy cafe to read a book!!! Plush chairs and LOTS of chargers! We left Logan Square's Gaslight Coffee Roasters cuz they had middle school chairs. My wife's a teacher and needed to do work without feeling like she was still in school. Cafes should be cozy as Avondales! The chai latte in a mug is soooo creamy and flavorful. Love how they opt to use real mugs. Their warm ham and cheese stuff croissant was so damn good. Fast WiFi. Great food. Yummy drinks. Perfect spot read more

Everything about Avondale coffee club is unique. From the mod decor to the beverages. I had their matcha with CBD and enjoyed every sip! They are dog friendly, but only on the back patio, which is cute and relaxed. Away from the busy traffic, it's an oasis of its own. Note- you can't take alcoholic beverages on the patio. Service was quick and courteous. Nothing stand out but nothing to complain about! Cant wait to visit again, especially for one of their events! read more

Love this neighborhood spot! I recently moved around the corner and love all of the coffee options in Avondale. I find myself returning most often to Avondale Coffee club because of their great lattes, quiet interior, and friendly staff. I would rec the honey latte! This is a great place to get some work done. It's never too loud and there's a ton of seating. They were actually one of the first places I sat inside after I was vaccinated because of the ample space. They even have a few parking spots out back. read more

Finally getting around to writing this review. First of all, love that they have a parking lot! To enter the cafe from the parking lot you go through a little outdoor patio. The patio is set up adorably with candles, large burlap coffee bags from all around Central America, cute plants and dangly string of lights. The inside is decorated nicely, giving it a retro vibe. Did not expect for it to look like that inside! It's also surprisingly large. Lots of seating. Now, what I loved most was the customer service. Chris* was so sweet, her smile is contagious. You can tell she enjoys being there and to me that's important especially when you're like me and ask a lot of questions! They carry some of my current favorite things, like oat milk, matcha and turmeric. Super excited that they offered oat milk. Highly recommend with your latte or any other beverage with steamed milk. They offer a variety of flavors too. I tried the cinnamon dolce which was just the right amount of sweetness. I hope to try a new flavor each time I visit. I also ate the berry overnight oats. Yum! Thrilled to find out that they sell Somethin' Sweet donuts. One of my favorite donut shops in the city! Loved this little gem, and it's quiet enough for getting your work/homework done. Will definitely be back with friends! Oh and last important thing, spiked beverages! Yes. You're welcome. read more

Excellent addition to a growing part of Avondale. Outstanding coffee and coffee drinks (the mocha is what dreams are made of), and tons of extras. Salads, high end sodas, and pastries from Dinkle's! They have games, and really cool 50's mod decor, and the outdoor area is such a plus, especially in this neighborhood. I'm so happy to see an investment in the Belmont/Elston/California area. Nothing but great establishements here with Pisolino, B'el, Beer Temple, Traspassada, Guanajuato, Dmen, Kuma's, and now Avondale Coffee Club! read more

Hm, okay I'll get on board. I'm fairly new to the neighborhood. I once lived in Seattle within a minute of walking to two different amazing coffee shops where I could take out my MacBook™ and look cool as shit. Unfortunately, there did not seem to be much in the way of coffee places in Avondale except this spot. God forbid I make the commute to Wicker Park. Was walking with a friend and we decided to check it out as neither of us had been. The interior feels a bit retro and there are a mixture of comfortable seats, standard chairs and table, and bar seats along the windows. Lots of drink options and a window full of cakes and treats. We enjoyed chilling here for a while, chatting and sipping. It seems like a nice chilled out spot to work. Not too noisy or crowded. I look forward to coming back. read more
