Premium bagel sandwiches at a premium price. I've only had the chance to experience this establishment during covid, which means I was unable to enjoy what looks to be a cute cafe ambience while I eat my food. Their bagel sandwiches are 10$+, and most of them do not include a protein. The ingredients are high quality and the food is well made but it's hard not to compare the quantity and quality of food to other fast casual restaurants in the area. Ordering and payment are h fled through their website. You do receive a text notification when the order is ready for pickup, but today I spied the food through the window and was able to bike home before I received a notification that the food was ready. I'll be back for coffee and a breakfast sandwich once the pandemic passes to enjoy the dining experience. read more

Only ever done take out. It is a hit or miss. The blueberry scone both times I've had it is over baked. The coffee is very strong for my non sweet lovers this would be perfect. read more

As much as I want to support a coffee shop nested within the neighborhood I've tried three times now. Each time I bought a cappuccino for myself and a latte for my partner and after a tip it comes out to $20+. The coffee is good, staff is nice, and the location is great. Every time I try I'm just mind-blown when I see the total, I can't justify it. read more

I haven't laughed that hard in a minute! If you've ever seen those TikToks of the overly familiar regular, I felt like I was living in one. I was waiting as this older woman yapped at the barista for 10 minutes, which I presumed were filling time while something was being made, however eventually she asked for an americano. She then proceeded to pull apart the bananas and educate the barista on her preferences, making sure to touch every one. Upon discovering none were to her standards, she then demanded detailed walk through the pastry cabinet. The whole while, I'm having a conversation with the other baristas via eye contact and they seemed lovely! At that point I ran out giggling to myself. Couldn't tell you about the coffee, but I can't say I didn't leave satisfied read more

Closed? Looks like not permanent, but went today, a Tuesday, at 330pm and it was all closed up. I hope it's not permanent and I can stop by again soon! read more

Lived less than a block away for 4 years and periodically want to "give it another try". I tried again today: out of coffee at noon. So my $6+ Americano was the recommended concession. It tasted burnt, acidic, and bland. I tried for the first time to work in the space. Great atmosphere visually however acoustically very loud, staff yelling across the shop to one another with little to no regard for the patrons. I'm happy to pay a premium for great coffee but unfortunately the Two Hearted Queen disappointed yet again. There's a Dark Matter location close by that is worth the extra walk. read more

Coffee is terrific but the cracked pepper scone is probably the best scone I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about it 3 weeks later. The crunch on the outside and deliciously warm inside are simply perfect. read more

A neighborhood staple that I'm glad is back open after COVID restrictions and a prolonged renovation closure. Drinks: Their regular coffee is some of my favorite in the area. Their espresso drinks are a bit hit or miss for me, especially at the price point, although they are very good when they are on point. Space: The renovation expanded the space and refreshed the look, although took away some of the coziness in my opinion. They used to have a great patio (even pre-COVID) which hasn't come back yet. Overall, I love having this place close by, but hope the ever increasing price point (necessary for the business, I know), prolonged closure, and lack of patio doesn't result in the neighborhood turning elsewhere. read more

Wow! Wonderful latte and best scone I've ever tasted (cherry orange). Super friendly service! Only downside is that it's so busy/popular, there were no seats available... So I walked down the block a bit and enjoyed my breakfast sitting in front of someone's house. I ordered online, and my treats were ready when I arrived! read more

My favorite study spot in Chicago - cozy hipster place that is perfect for catching up with friends or if you need a productive study day. There are comfortable tables and couches with plenty of outlets available. Also fantastic coffee and SCONES! The scones are bursting with flavor, I'm a fan of the cranberry/orange and the chai. When you pay, you get to pick a card from the deck and if you are lucky enough to draw the queen of hearts you get a discount! read more

Despite the fact that my 12 ounce iced latte was almost 8 dollars, it was very tasty. I ordered the iced queen with caramel and oat milk. I believe it's a shaken espresso drink and the creaminess and flavor was very delicious. This place is good when you want a café where you can splurge on a coffee but it definitely wouldn't be in the budget to go there on a weekly basis. read more

Two Hearted Queen was super adorable. However we visited on a rainy day, which meant that there was a distinct lack of seating, with lots of people taking refuge out of the rain. There's a whole back area with a ton of quaint mismatched furniture, slightly like a playhouse or a lovingly decorated rec room. It was fun to just take a moment drink tea and relax. I will say that I would have liked to have seen more side tables even if they were smaller, and more unobtrusive. Because I did notice that a lot of customers had to utilize the squares to sit and were forced to set their drinks further away from themselves than normally they would. All in all, definitely a fun stop in Chicago. read more

I got the queen of hearts!! Lucky draw. The space is a little cramped, but they do the best they can with the space they have. Good coffee and tea selection. The drinks we got were lukewarm. As soon as we received the drinks, they were already lukewarm. They tasted good though! They're participating in yelp cafe week next week so be sure to check them out! read more

Went here for the first time last weekend and loved everything about it. The staff and owner were so sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. They made me a specialty drink and it was delicious, and they made sure I was satisfied with it. The outdoor seating was beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy a latte with a close friend. Having visited a different coffee business the previous day and getting rude service and subpar coffee really makes you appreciate local coffee shops like Two Hearted Queen. I can't wait to visit again! 10/10 recommend. read more

Two Hearted Queen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hello everyone. I am feeling like a cold hearted person this morning. This establishment is unorganized, lazy and careless. We got up to order and the lady who took our order said "what do you want?" what kind of customer service is that? Another girl was literally drawing crowns and hearts on cups instead of attending to the increasingly long line which at this point, was out the front door. Are these people five? Why are we drawing hearts and crowns on cups which by the WAY we did not receive on our cups. Our coffee was UNDRINKABLE and EXPENSIVE. If I wanted horrible coffee I would have stopped my local 7/11. If you think this is customer service? You're dead wrong. Train your staff to make better decisions and hire a manager to whip this place into shape. I will NEVER be returning. I payed $40 for the worst experience of my life. read more

I've been here a handful of times and consistently love Two-Hearted Queen. The baristas are super chill and overall the place has vibes like you're in your best friend's living room; relaxed, in good company, happy, and right at home. THQ is located right at the corner of Roscoe & Racine, and I couldn't be happier that another café is in the 'hood. The other ones I like close by (aside from Sbux or Dunkin') are Asado on Irving Park or Lobe Pastry by the Paulina Brownline; I really hope other ones pop up at the Ashland/Irving Park and Lincoln intersections, especially on Ashland. After you place your order at THQ, you can choose a card from a deck on the counter. If you draw the Queen of Hearts, you can get a discount off your drink. If that card has already been drawn, they'll place a mini placard stating just that, and the deck will be placed off to the side. I've ordered the King Panini several times (ham, egg, cheese, sriracha aioli), the Ice Queen (iced latte with your flavor choice) and their caramel latté. All were excellent, and I really like their almond croissants and scones. They have eclectic furniture, perhaps salvaged from thrift stores around town, which gives their seating area a quirky mad-hatter feel (not unlike my own home!). That's probably why I love this place so much. THQ is a little oasis in the residential part of Southport Corridor. They have wifi, cozy indoor seating, plenty of outdoor bench seating, food & drink. I come here to work on my laptop, meet up with friends, or grab a drink to-go. Good vibes and good coffee, all around, all the time. read more

"Two Hearted Queen" coffeehouse is hidden on the corner of Racine and Roscoe. Once you're here, the warm, homey atmosphere will shut your poker face! Hubby and I came over before the Star Wars premier. Apparent Yelpers have given THQ a stellar review, "wholeheartedly," so I really wanted to find out why this place was this awesome. I went with the choice which Whitney Houston would concur, "Queen of the Night." This drink features mocha, a hint of Himalayan sea salt, and peppercorn. At first, I thought this caffeinated beverage contained cayenne pepper since I have had something else similar to this. Nevertheless, it tasted more smooth without the signature "punch" cayenne pepper would render. As I was finishing it up, I detected the presence of salt. Yes, I felt like a self-proclaimed queen after my coffee therapy. Hubby commented that his matcha latte was stronger than what he anticipated. Well, this was how real tea should be. In terms of the ambiance, there are a variation of seating available, comfy couch, working-friendly two-person table and chairs, and a small round table for the mother-daughter pair. Prices for their coffee are the reflection of the neighborhood: slightly elevated ($9 and some change for 2, 16oz. signature drinks), but I would say THQ was a great discovery. The location isn't awfully far from the Wrigley Field, just in case you aren't too fond of the commercial coffee shop on Clark. read more

This coffee shop is very quaint and comfortable. There is a lot of seating, which is great. I ordered the Queen Of All Hearts and I was pretty indifferent about it. It wasn't bad, but it was too salty for my taste. The noise level is also pretty high, so if you want to focus and get work done, this might not be the place to go. The baristas were all very friendly, and they served my drink to me at my table. All in all, 4/5. read more

Inconspicuous, adorable, and vibrant are words I'd use to describe Two Hearted Queen. After inhaling a large lunch around the corner, my friend and I were in desperate need of caffeine one afternoon last week. I noticed the little word "coffeehouse" under a huge sign for a cleaner's while driving past Roscoe Street, so we pulled over to fulfill our coffee dreams. I'd bought lunch so coffee was on my friend, and right before she paid the barista handed my friend a deck of cards. At Two Hearted Queen, if you miraculously choose the Queen of Hearts from the deck on the counter, you get half off your entire purchase! Who doesn't love a bit of charm?! My friend didn't pick the winning card, but the game was fun, anyway. We grabbed our cups of coffee, which were given to us in glass mugs, in true local coffee shop fashion when you say you're staying. When we entered the sitting area, I was blown away by how much space was tucked away back there! There were colorfully painted walls, a ton of bookshelves, tables, couches, and armchairs. There was a printer, a community bulletin board, and a bathroom. A lot of art was scattered throughout, too. The baristas walked through every once in awhile to check on people and pick up dirty dishes. I'm very rarely UNimpressed with my coffee shop orders, because I usually get a cup of black coffee (that way I can really decide whether or not the coffee is good!) and a snack. Two Hearted Queen's coffee has a unique taste -- almost chocolatey -- which was a nice little touch to my usual coffee experience. I'd been wanting to visit Two Hearted Queen for quite awhile, and I was really impressed with the amount of space and the way it looked inside, the staff, and of course, the way the coffee tasted. Try it out! read more

Sometimes when I have some spare time, I'll try to find a new coffee place. I was pleased to find this spot. It seemed almost hidden. When you walk in, you are struck by its hospitality and warmth. It's one of those places where everything feels relaxed and un-rushed, slowed to a pace where you can enjoy your latte. I don't know if they do it all the time, but they have a fun pick a card game. If you pick a certain card (always the same) you get a discount. If your pick is not the one, they keep that card out--eventually someone gets the lucky card. A small fun thing, but enjoyable. My latte was in the good category, more bitter (not bad) than some--maybe causing me to add just a touch of sugar next time. Definitely an enjoyable nook in the City. read more

Popped in for a visit and was not disappointed. Excellent tap coffee(all beans regardless of origin are medium roasted) with one free refill. Plenty of organic specialty lattes and mochas. Local artists have their fare prominently displayed alongside a hodge lodge collection of furniture with plenty of character. Certainly a plus in my book. I am uncertain why the place is rated one dollar sign. It's 4 bucks for a cup of tap coffee before tip with one refill. That's certainly worth of two dollar signs in my book. read more

A nice place - but too many (loud) little kids running and screeching around while the "Karen-moms" were oblivious within their little chat groups. Three battleship-size strollers took up entirely too much room and impeded customer traffic. Learned they are opening a second location somewhere. It will be interesting to see what it's like and what neighborhood it will be in. read more

Great coffee spot, good expresso, and tasty food. We ran into this place while looking for a break stop during our long walk. It's a very cute shop and its ambiance and decorate definitely meets the expectation of its name. However, I would say the food is overly pricy (we spend nearly $40 for two coffee and two food items) and the seating wasn't as functional. I like it has couch options but there aren't many tables available, so if you are like me often work in the coffee shop, you may want to rethink when you come to this shop. Other than that, it definitely helps add the unique vibe to the city-limit its in. read more

This coffee shop has it all: cozy, eclectic and quality coffee. The service we received was very helpful and friendly. There's a deck of cards at the register that you cut and draw from; if you draw the queen of hearts you get 50%! Lots of indoor space if you need to work and a lovely outdoor patio with plenty of tables for conversing and enjoying the sunshine. The chai latte I had was perfect! A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. I highly recommend if you live in the area or are near the baseball park and are willing to walk a couple of blocks to avoid Starbucks. read more

I am yet driving across town, past countless coffee shops, to visit Two Hearted Queen. It's worth the trip! The staff is so accommodating and they genuinely want you to have a great experience. If you describe what kind of drink you're looking for, they always have great recommendations or new creations. The card drawing for a free drink is silly and fun. The space is quiet, but not awkwardly silent. Kids sometimes play around the tables and it feels incredibly family friendly. There are tables, solo seats, and plenty of outlets. The natural light helps to keep you awake and focused if you're working, and the patio is a spectacular place to grab some fresh air and chat. No one bothers you about "camping out," but the food is yummy so it's hard to sit for long without grabbing a sandwich or snack. read more

Two Hearted Queen is a cozy little corner of heaven. Cely Garcia and Cassandra Andrewson share their love of coffee and community with Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Cely, along with Cassandra are not only inspiring, female entrepreneurs... the people behind the counter are equally as inspiring. From actors to screen writers, musicians and vagabonds, everyone has a home at Two Hearted Queen. When entering the Queen you are always greeted with a friendly hello. It doesn't matter how long you have been a customer or how long you stay. They remember your name. On the counter lies a deck of cards, with a small sign inviting you to "Test your luck in the Royal Draw" where drawing the queen of hearts provides a 50% discount on your crafted coffee beverage along with cheers and high fives from the staff. They stop at nothing to make a personal connection with you. When is the last time you really felt the care only a personal connection provides? Along with the excellent service, Two Hearted Queen provides an ethically sourced, globally conscious cup of coffee every day. They are finding the best coffee regardless of its "organic fair trade" label. They are out to change the way the world looks at coffee production. Coffee farmers in the countries that rely on the export of coffee (that are located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn) are often very poor and can not afford the "organic" farming label despite the farms themselves actually farming organically, simply because they can not afford pesticides in the first place. Two Hearted Queen also takes into consideration the global origins of coffee and the methods of brewing and roast profiles that are preferred by the coffee drinker's palette in the country of origin. The coffee is roasted by hand weekly and "painstakingly" tasted and refined by many coffee professionals even before the liquid gold reaches your hands as the customer. When you indulge in a coffee beverage from Two Hearted Queen you can be assured you are drinking what they believe is best that day. It makes for one very tasty cup of coffee. Their global mindset is not overshadowed by their love for the local Lakeview community in Chicago. Every few days the sign on the corner will rotate, one side for "The Queen" or promotional information about what is going on inside the shop (My Favorite features: Strawberry Banana Smoothie, Spiced Apple Cider). The opposing side of the sign faces outward and has created a space to voice unique insight, sympathy, or encouragement to the members of the neighborhood. It also creates a space to inject the insight and vision of a variety of under heard people groups such as small business owners, women, trans folk and minorities directly into the world in which it faced. I remember the sign the morning after our now President Trump was elected: "Puppies, Kittens and Baby Otters." Throughout the day the baristas there were a beacon of light. They were there to hear the heart break of the community in full force, uniting in solidarity with everyone. Share humor, understanding and love. I have never seen a space that offers more inclusion than Two Hearted Queen. It does not matter who you are, whom you love, what gender you show the world. It is simply about being a person, on the earth who exists, and its nice to have someone remember your name. These are just a few reasons I would recommend stopping in for a lovingly crafted cappuccino or any of their globally conscious brews!
