Dark
Matter
is
known
for
their
impressive
specialty
coffee
concoctions.
After
multiple
people
told
us
we
needed
to
visit
while
in
Chicago,
we
went
to
their
location
known
as
The
Mothership
on
N
Western
Ave.
They’re
known
for
their
Draft
Iced
Coffee
list,
which
are
coffees
at
triple
strength
brewed
hot
then
flash
cooled.
The
Chocolate
City
Draft
Iced
Coffee
was
very
smooth
and
an
easy
drinker
for
a
regular
warm
day,
one
of
their
Draft
Iced
Coffees
had
beer
hops
that
reminds
me
of
an
IPA-meets-Stout,
and
the
Vanilla
Suburbs
Nitro
is
infused
with
cacao
nibs
and
vanilla
beans
without
any
added
sugar.
As
I
was
very
indecisive
and
it
was
my
first
time
there,
the
barista
Rosemary
was
so
kind
and
let
me
do
small
samples
of
these
three
Draft
Iced
Coffees,
which
was
a
great
experience
and
honestly
I
think
they
should
start
selling
coffee
flights
because
their
offerings
are
so
unique
and
great
for
side-by-side
comparisons.
From
their
specialty
drink
menu,
I
went
with
the
Iced
Cafe
Miel,
which
looked
a
lot
like
the
iced
caramel
macchiatos
you
see
at
Starbucks
because
the
honey
drizzle
around
the
sides
looks
like
caramel.
The
Latin
America
espresso
blend
that
they
used
for
the
Cafe
Miel
is
called
Unicorn
Blood,
and
it
went
really
nicely
with
the
honey
and
oat
milk
in
the
drink.
I
loved
learning
that
the
honey
used
is
sourced
from
the
same
farm
in
Guatemala
as
the
coffee!
They
also
make
their
own
high-quality
chocolate
bars
that
are
absolutely
delicious,
and
there
are
three
different
designs/chocolates
that
you
can
choose
from
at
the
front
counter.
Chris
went
with
the
Barrel-Aged
Mocha,
which
included
barrel-aged
espresso,
vanilla
syrup,
chocolate,
and
milk.
He
said
he
couldn’t
really
taste
the
barrel-aged
aspect
but
that
it
was
a
nice
beverage.
We
also
ordered
the
draft
oat
milk
latte,
which
I
would
recommend
for
anyone
who
doesn’t
want
their
coffee
to
taste
too
strong,
as
it
was
mainly
the
flavor
of
oat
milk.
