Ok if you’re reading this you probably are checking out this review because of the owner… that’s all fine but as a Chicago native let’s set the record straight… this is actually one of the best cafés in the Chicagoland area. Good coffee, amazing tea selection, fresh local ingredients, reliable consistency and a good rotation of foods on the menu that reflect the diversity of its customers. It’s also innovative in that they try new vegan recipes regularly and are not afraid to kill off an old favorite for something new. Yeah you can go there for crystals, vinyl, rockstars or high speed 5g Wi-Fi… that’s all good but you’ll stay for the amazing staff, great cold brew/iced teas, and newest vegan concoction.

Really delicious food in a spacious and beautiful space. Very impressed by all the flavor in this plant based menu and the huge selection of teas.

I was in Chicago for a conference and stayed an extra day to get over to Madame ZuZus for tea and plant based bites. As a lifelong Smashing Pumpkins & WPC fan, I have shopped online at ZuZus several times purchasing vinyl & teas. It was pretty cool to visit the spot in person. A trendy venue that had a little something for everyone. The tea was incredibly well prepared and there were several options. I enjoyed the grilled cheese & Chloe’s tomatoe soup and it was really good. The kitchen sink cookies were worth the whole detour to visit the shop! I took home some vinyl and really enjoyed looking through Billy’s vinyl vault collection. Super cool. The staff were kind and knowledgeable, but, took some time to acknowledge us once we came in and we didn’t really know what to do. That said it was lunch time and very likely that they were just busy. I would absolutely recommend tea lovers & pumpkin fans to plan a stop to ZuZus if you’re able or in the area. Oh! The Photo Booth was a really nice touch as well!

Unique tea shop with a few eclectic shopping options. We didn't see Billy (except in a couple photos) but the Metropolis coffee selections were good and of course the tea was tasty and the pastries were a treat.

Very cool space, with a lot of unique items to shop. They also have boardgames, we enjoyed playing scrabble. Both sandwiches we had were good. I thought my breakfast sandwich was a little dry and bland. Drinks were decent, tasty espresso but my chai was really watery.

Had a great time visiting! My boyfriend got to briefly meet Billy and we got some killer coffee. Loved the energy and decor in the space, staff was so kind and chill. Loved everything about our visit!

Only came in for a coffee since I was working close. Very good coffee. I'm not gluten free but the g.f. cowboy cookie was really good.

Love this place. Plant based food with gluten free options. They have meals as well as sweets/pastries. Also a shop with an eclectic mix

very nice space with high ceilings! spacious and calming. great iced tea! only four stars because the cinnamon roll I had was bit dry/uninspiring but I have high standards for baking as an amateur baker. I would return again but would like eschew the pastry

Never been a fan of Billy Corgan but my bestie is and I took him out to this spot and we both enjoyed our visit very much. It is interesting to see all the goodies they have . It's a huge space and a good place for a good Convo or a show. I ordered the creamy mushroom pasta which was zesty and excellent. Great choices of tea

Breakfast sandwich was way better than I was expecting. That hot sauce it comes with is so good. Tea was also delicious. Plus Billy came in and was playing piano.

Tea shop of my dreams…low key, friendly, wholly delicious. If I could take all the reasons I ❤️ tea and make them into a place, this is it. I’d love it without the SP angle but that puts things on a whole other level ✨

I traveled from NYC to partake in the NYE experience and was beyond dissatisfied. I expected a better experience after paying the hefty $325 price tag but was left with a stomachache, and unsavory aftertaste. I wish I could leave a positive review but feel that any customers seeking an authentic experience put their money elsewhere than this gimmick riding on the coattails of a washed up musician. No seating or customer service available. As a lifelong fan I’m happy to dissociate from any further endeavors.
