Just wanted to leave a shout out to Max and Emma for being knowledgable, skilled, and kind Baristas. I work in the area and have been coming in every week for the past 2 months, and they have been always on top of their game. Today I got an small iced Americano made with a SO Colombian spro that was damn delicious with its notes of citrus, floral and brown sugar. Max and Emma dialed it in to perfection. Will definitely keep coming back! Thanks for keeping me not only caffeinated, but ethically conscious and appreciative of the coffee I’m drinking!
Lovely little place. Cozy and inviting. Quality coffee and tea, best mocha I've had hands down. They have breakfast Kolaches on limited supply, they go fast! Wish we weren't just visiting or I'd make them my "go to" spot for sure.
Fun place to sit and have a coffee. Ask for it in a mug for the latte art, and sit by the window if you can!
Around 1 pm on Wednesday, the coffee shop was empty, and it prompted me to come in and stay for a bit. First of all, the barista working there yesterday was friendly and welcoming. I've noticed that he made sure to inquire everyone coming in how they were or have a small talk with them. The cup of cappuccino prepared by him was tasty, drinkable temperature, and with lovely art on top. The vanilla bean glazed donut was moderately sweet and paired nicely with the coffee.I was also extremely glad they offer coffee in regular porcelain cups for dining in.Lots of wood in design and large green plants make the place look cozy.
Groundswell is such a great spot in the West Loop for coffee! The staff is always courteous and super helpful. The coffee here is simply great and I cannot explain how good the Caprese Panini is here, super tasty--I always get 1 on the weekend!! Their seasonal flavors are always good, you cannot go wrong here.
Very cute place, would love to go there again. A little small but very walkable area and great coffee
What’s not to love! I come here a couple times a week and the baristas are SO sweet. They have Do-rite donuts, kolache, and other lite bites. Pretty small space, but I some how always manage to get a seat. Love y’all!
Cold brew and donuts are always very delicious and consistent. The food is a bit pricey, but worth it for a treat every now and then.
I am from Miami and had to be in this part of Chicago for about a week. We have very good coffee in Miami that is perfect, strong and not too much sugar.. wonderful for tired moms. I would always come to this coffee shop in the West loop with a stroller during the week when I visited this area.Of course in Miami we have such great coffee but the names are in Spanish, such as Cafe con Leche. I am an English speaker but I am only used to the strong coffee with great taste over there. I am not a fan of too much sugar in coffee, for some reason I feel sick after I drink too much sugar in coffee and we also have great tasting coffee without this high amount of sugar in Miami.Since I was used to ordering coffee that was typical in Miami, I wasn't sure what to order when I came to this place and would just ask for a latte because I thought this was the closest in translation to what I wanted, "Cafe con Leche" means coffee with milk.The only thing I asked for to go with it was almond milk and warm, then wait to see what happens. To my surprise, even though I am picky with coffee at least for my taste they made something very quick and good quality that never disappointed me. It always felt like it was made with care. I would eat it outside on the bench with my toddler. The bathrooms are always clean, which I really appreciated.I would go there in my stroller and order a morning meal with coffee. I would tell them I'm going to the restroom with my toddler, then get the meal and eat it outside. Very nice experience. I like paying for a good quality coffee in a place that I feel comfortable even though I am not a local there. Thank you again for the clean bathrooms and good attitude from the people working there. A guy with glasses and a ponytail was very nice when I got rained on and went back there to eat since we left our car in Florida.
I adore your coffee shop! Cakes, tea, and coffee are available. I've been to your business several times, but you've never failed to modify my perceptions of your outstanding services, guys. Your employees were also very pleasant and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful service. I'm just going to tell everyone about it!
