    I love this place in Andersonville! It used to be an old laundromat decades ago but is now one of the cutest neighbourhood cafe. The place is right on the corner, and the morning sun hits it just right for basking;-) Amazingly good flat whites served up in the 8 ounce cups, yummy.

    In this time of chaos, the Coffee Studio has adapted quickly to provide a SAFE and easy way to order and pick up food and drinks. The pastries and coffee remain of the highest quality. First cortado in six weeks and it was amazing.

    A great coffee shop that we stumbled upon while visiting near Loyala campus. A great shop with cool coffee selections and baked vegan pastries. We ordered vanilla latte and caramel latte. Both lattes and pastry were great. Service was really good. Very relaxing place where seat back relax and enjoy great coffee.

    I've always had a great experience here. And they recently implemented a rewards program, which is awesome!

    Excellent coffee!!! but do not try for to go! -unless u have your own cup or beverage carrier-... They claim to help environment by not using lids and carriers for the cups... So unless you have as many hands free as coffee cups... Then u can carry them... :)

    Wonderful Just simply that. Lovely little coffee shop. Modern but comfortable feel. Welcome and inviting. Inteligencia coffee is amazing and they sell bagged beans, happy to grind for you. The pastries were awesome. Especially the almond croissant. Yum 😋 If you're in you're in the area, I highly recommend!

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago. The nicest baristas (TIP THEM!!!) and the lox bagel is incredible. I always order a cappuccino and sprinkle raw sugar on top 😊 Stop in for a drink, get some work done with their nice seating areas, LGBTQ FRIENDLY, and peaceful when you want to read a good book. Always coming back to this sweet spot.

    Great little spot to enjoy premium roasted coffee and teas. I've never been disappointed with the service staff or the impeccable cleanliness of the Coffee Studio either. They're bakery is always unique and distinctively tasty while fresh. The bathrooms speak volumes about the cleanliness and they are always perfect! The countertop areas are impeccable and always cleaned regularly. I believe the staff person at the counter cleaned the surface are by the cash register twice while we were seated. The local crowd of patrons are pleasant and are neighborhood friendly folks without attitude. Their internet services have consistently operated effectively and reliably. The outdoor side tables and seating make for a pleasant outdoors dimension for the space...weather permitting. The parking leaves something to be desired...but the ambiance and quality product of The Coffee Studio far makeup for the only inconvenience I could observe. Definitely check out this place for your needs. My Blessings deservingly given with three solid winks😉😉😉😎🇨🇮

    Located in Chicago's, Andersonville neighborhood... This is a really nice place to study or focus on work. Because its really quite and peaceful here as if you're in a library. However the prices are sort of ridiculous, about $5 just for a small drink.

    Coffee lovers, continually in search of our next great cup. Ordered a cappuccino & an almond latte. Both were perfection! Both were balanced and the foam on the latte was so creamy and the cappuccino was perfect. We visit A LOT of coffee shops all across the country, this is one of our favs.

    I've been wanting to rate this place for a while. I love it. They have a great lattes. They're really have food that makes sense and I can tell that they take pride in the product that they have. I've gone quite a few times in the last month and I appreciate the respect that they give in the happiness although subtle and professional they exude.

    It's one of our town's best places! The workplace is fantastic because of an excellent, friendly team. They'd be able to provide us with the coffee flavor we desired. They were able to provide the desired taste that we needed, in my opinion. I will definitely return, and I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! Thank you!

    What a spot. This is one of the most convenient locations for certain tasks. They definitely served good coffee at a reasonable price, as well as delicious cookies. I was rocking in my seat because of the music they were playing. This is always the place! I would strongly recommend it to my peers, family, and coworkers. Continue your good work!

  • 2/5 Jeremy D. 5 years ago on Google
    Espresso based coffee needs improving through retraining on extraction techniques. Service was lacking friendliness this visit; unusual for this neighborhood. The essence of a cafe experience begins with a beverage and continues beyond the cup. As we were leaving we brought our cups and saucers to the front, and the staff just pointed to the bus bucket as if we were an inconvenience to them. The experience left a bad taste in our mouth, literally and figuratively. It was a cold feeling for what is meant to be such a warm experience.

    Was treated rudely by staff bc we couldn’t hear them. Definitely not coming back after they slammed the rod that displayed our drink order and yelled multiple times at us as if we were stupid.

  • 5/5 Arimal R. 2 years ago on Google
    The Coffee Studio has the best cappuccino in all of Chicago. Period. Kind of pricey but it's worth every penny. Seriously. They've perfected the 1:1:1 ratio. The best espresso. 👌🏾

  • 5/5 Zachary W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to sit for a couple hours and get some work done in a pinch. The coffee and tea selections never disappoint. When I am in the mood I will either get a donut or a bagel with their honey walnut cream cheese, it's phenomenal!

  • 5/5 J F. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere is super chill. Everyone that works here is so friendly and the coffee and pastries are delicious! I work across the street and they are always so friendly here. Warm and cozy spot to do homework and just relax.

  • 5/5 S S. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome corner spot on Clark and Olive with outdoor seating on Olive. Took our coffees outside, which were served in wide-brim mugs on saucers.

  • 5/5 Erwin K. 3 years ago on Google
    I really love this coffee shop because they have everything that I wanted, and it's amazing because the staffs are so friendly and attentive. Everything here in this coffee shop was fantastic, including the service, and the most important thing is the taste of its coffee. I will surely come back here again someday. Thanks, everyone! You're the best!

  • 5/5 Aaron M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great Colombian pour over here. Salmon bagel was excellent as well. Will def be back!

  • 3/5 Jennifer H. 3 months ago on Google New
    Love the coffee and food but be aware that the posted prices are far off the actual prices charged. I'm sympathetic to small businesses in times of inflation but the lack of transparency isn't fair to the customer. Please update your signage so that you're transparent.

  • 5/5 Caprice K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Literally every single employee I’ve interacted with here has been communicative, knowledgeable and kind. The atmosphere lends itself easily to studying, coffee dates or work collaborations. Also it’s sick to see free menstrual products and sharps containers in the washrooms. Love this spot.

  • 5/5 Coco S. 8 months ago on Google
    I am always pleasantly surprised when I visit the Coffee Studio. The staff is always welcoming and kind. I always get an iced chai latte and couldn’t agree more with the slogan “delicious is in the details”. This is an Andersonville staple that gives back to its community. The ambiance is modern and a great place to work especially if you’re remote.

  • 5/5 Tyler M. 5 months ago on Google
    Love the food, especially the bacon cheddar biscuit, yum!! I’m from Portland/Seattle and this place just makes me think of home, it’s the craft coffee I’m used to but is sometimes hard to find in chi. Staff is really friendly as well!

  • 5/5 Marko K. 5 months ago on Google
    Great coffee shop with good atmosphere for remote work - plenty of seats and each one of them with outlet. Enjoyed working mornings from this spot.

  • 5/5 Skylar M. 9 months ago on Google
    I love the coffee studio. There are reviews that bad mouth the staff, but I’ve never had an unpleasant interaction here, and I was a barista for about 5 years. The folks giving 1-3 star reviews need to take a moment to check their privilege in my opinion. Great coffee, great pastries, and a friendly staff. I don’t know what more you could ask for.

  • 5/5 Torie D. 6 months ago on Google
    I love this place. Jordan, who works as a barista, is great. Always remembers my name when I come in and I don't even live in this town! Lots of light for enjoyable working, kind and attentive staff. The chai here is phenomenal - lightly sweetened and really incredible flavor. Not like the cinnamon sugar milk you get at most other coffee shops. Smooth and perfect!

  • 5/5 Jerry M. 5 months ago on Google
    The best decaf latte I've ever had! The staff are friendly and the cafe itself is clean and cozy. I spent an afternoon doing some reading and really enjoyed the vibe.

  • 4/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a nice quaint local coffee house. Indoor and outdoor seating. Took a while for two mochas but they were very good.

  • 5/5 Gabriella H. 1 year ago on Google
    i absolutely love this place. I have since moved out of Chicago but I miss it so much. Excellent teas, coffee options and the atmosphere is just so clean and kind. A great stop if you are walking around in Andersonville, thank you for the comfort that Coffee Studio had provided me :)

  • 5/5 lauren s. 1 year ago on Google
    I occasionally treat myself to coffee out and it’s always here. Their baked goods are delicious, their service is fast and delicious and I usually to the online pick up and it’s super convenient. Not a lot of indoor seating but the vibe is super cute, they usually have cool rotating art on the walls. They also have a nice little outside seating area when weather permits.

  • 5/5 Marienne P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little coffee shop. Pleasant staff, really good cappuccino although small and tasty lemon-poppyseed cake.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy environment I came in to do some homework and it was very relaxing. Coffee was good/wasn’t able to try pastries or food. It was a bit crowded but there was still some room to sit down and it didnt get loud at all from people working. Will definitely be coming back to this spot.

  • 5/5 Juliet B. 1 year ago on Google
    The barista staff at Coffee Studio is phenomenal. As a new decaf drinker, they bring attention to detail and a willingness to collaborate in creating something that hits the spot and takes into account your needs. I also deeply appreciate their gender neutral bathrooms, and various seating options that accommodate bodies of diverse needs.

  • 5/5 Noah M. 1 year ago on Google
    I adore this place. Everyone who works here is super nice. The coffee is great. The food is tasty and varied. The vibes are perfect. It's nice and airy with a bit of a scandinavian / mid-century feel to it. Also it's always clean and quiet (with some nice music playing at a reasonable volume). Highly recommended even among all of the great coffee shops in Andersonville.

  • 5/5 Bryony P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely coffee and lovely services, I quite enjoyed the bagel I ordered but their homemade cream cheese leaves something to be desired.

  • 4/5 karen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this little coffee shop, they are so nice and friendly. Great iced oat chai. I'm not a coffee drinker but I love my chai, all the coffee drinkers I go to at this place seem to love their coffee. Have some tasty little treats as well.

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the best, hands down my favorite coffee shop. I love the spaces (indoor and outdoor!) and I love the staff. Also, the food options and coffee quality are all A+.

  • 5/5 Frank N. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee studio offers a quaint space with a variety of seating options. This shop tends to be on the quieter side and is great for studying or reading. Great coffee from local roaster, Intelligentsia, and delicious Gluten free treats from defloured (located a few blocks away), makes it one of my favorite local spots!

  • 5/5 Allyson D. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff delicious coffee! Wish I lived closer

  • 4/5 Raquel W. 1 year ago on Google
    tl;dr good coffee, but not a great study/work/hang environment. I find this place a bit of a mixed bag - the coffee is as tasty as any of the other little local coffee shops around - but it is not a super inviting place to work from, or hang at. Primarily because the acoustics of the place really magnify sound, or maybe they just play music super loud and so people or forced to speak very loudly? Wifi signs you out every 1-2hrs. Again drinks are good, staff seems chill, just not my fav local spot if I plan hang out for any amount of time.

  • 4/5 Kimmy C. 4 years ago on Google
    I come here almost everyday for their special coffees. My favorite is the Spaniard, which is a Spanish latte with a splash of condense milk. The coffee is so smooth and silky with the condense milk. I usually don't add any sugar to my coffee. The condense milk was not overly sweet as I thought it would be.

  • 5/5 Emily B. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and safe environment! They have a wide variety of great coffee and tea options for people with a discerning palette. Also a good place to sit and do some quiet work when it's not covid.

  • 5/5 Osnat N. 3 years ago on Google
    Great coffee! I highly recommend their cortado.

  • 5/5 Lindsey V. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious maple latte. Perfect for the fall, especially if you are looking for something other than pumpkin spice!

  • 4/5 Ray S. 5 years ago on Google
    Good cafe for the area featuring intelligentsia, but my cappuccino was a bit frothy.

  • 1/5 Larry S. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible experience. I realize things have. Changed because of the current pandemic, but, I am sorry it was weird. You walk in with a table barring the entrance and a greeting is yelled at you from about 15 feet. There was nothing displayed near my location about any of their offerings and I couldn’t read the menu because of distance. I ordered a generic black coffee. I was told to pay by credit card and put my card into a tiny credit card machine with no pricing information. Then someone yelled to me how tip I waned to add to the bill. I still don’t know what I paid for a coffee. There are other coffee options in the area, I will never go back there!

  • 5/5 Patricia B. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a sweet spot to enjoy a cup of joe! It's nicely decorated and clean with good room for wheelchairs! Also a good lil pastry selection. I've returned a couple of times to enjoy some great coffee.

  • 5/5 Jake C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Warriors of Truth T. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this café, I'm not a caramel fan at all, but they will turn you into one. I mostly get their caramelatte, which I get nowhere else. They make the caramel in house and these little caramel candies come in some interesting (in a good way) flavors. My favorite is rosemary sea salt. Also, this is written mid-pandemic and thankfully they're still in action, and still have those delicious little caramels. You should definitely ask for one, or 3 actually. I like to savor things so I take tiny bites and just let them slowly disintegrate. 3 lasts me a couple of weeks. I hope I can one day lounge around on my computer in they're lovely café. Other random thing that I love, the bathrooms are marked "human", which makes me feel a little more included, being in a bit of a strange gender category. Hope this weird review helps. If not, eh, my bad.

    After our long drive, we drop in this coffee shop to have some coffee and rest. I love the way they arranged things, very comfy, very cold, and spacious. All of the crews there show genuine concern and care for the customers. This is a perfect place for studying working or just for chit chat. I love the place! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Zak H. 4 years ago on Google
    Cute coffee joint with plenty of seating and a modern industrial vibe serving up freshly roasted Intelligentsia. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their single-origin selection, and recommended me a really nice seasonal blend. The pour-over was absolutely humongous (definitely a boon). Comfy and welcoming atmosphere, definitely coming back.

  • 5/5 Eric In Chicago S. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve driven by numerous times but finally decided to try it today after seeing so many glowing reviews. It did not disappoint. Loved the Dolce Nitro Cold Brew and my apple and Brie flatbread was delicious. Excellent service from the baristas. Personally, I hope the limited free WiFi so many complain about was the standard everywhere. There are so many options for workspaces that cater to those that want to sit there doing work for hours while customers such as myself can’t stay and relax while enjoying our coffee.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 3 years ago on Google
    My initial thought upon leaving Chicago was to get our breakfast at some combination of Starbucks/McDonald/Dunkin. It wasn't what I wanted to do, but I knew it would be fast and efficient before an 8-hour drive. But as I was pondering these unpalatable possibilities, I remembered a coffee shop on Clark St. that I had passed on a few of my walks, and also remembered that they offered a cream cheese, lox, and onion sandwich on an onion bagel. I had always meant to try it out, and so I decided to make the stop on the way out of town at the Coffee Studio. It was a wise decision on my part. I ordered a large dulce Americano to go with the sandwich. Of all the places I went looking for Jewish bagels and sandwiches, this one finally hit the mark. It was a pretty solid onion bagel, there was a generous shmear of cream cheese, the lox was cold and fresh, and the raw red onion on top was nice and crisp. The coffee was brewed nicely as well. We took our sandwiches over to the lake shore for one last view of Lake Michigan and ate the sandwiches with quiet, melancholy pleasure. I got chewed out by the server because I failed to see the sign that only allowed one customer in the store at a time for pickup, and I deserved it, so kudos to the staff for making the place safe for customers and everyone. Hopefully the next time I am in Chicago I will be able enjoy this sandwich again while spending a few hours sitting in their shop drinking coffee and wandering the internet.

  • 5/5 Jon D. 3 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a good coffee and accommodating staff, this place is the best to go. The chairs and couch were very comfortable. And also, the restroom is well designed and maintained. Everything about this coffee shop is excellent. I really love to go back here together with my friends, family members, and loved ones. Thank you very much!

  • 5/5 Kozey H. 3 years ago on Google
    Among the remainder, you are the best! What I like about this coffee shop is that when it comes to coffee and pastries, they've really got my taste. It's not so sweet, and it's just perfect. You deserve to be remembered by many! Expect me to give all my colleagues a recommendation for your service and go here again. Oh, thank you!
