Bombastic Cafe

Great hipster vibe that provides some contrast to the preppy spots in the Southport area. Excellent coffee and cozy atmosphere.I took a star off though because it feels a bit cramped and awkward towards the back of the cafe.Will be returning- especially for the street seating in the warm weather!

$7 large cold brew I think. Was real cold and pretty smooth and tasty. They do have wifi and lots of seating.

An unassuming spot on Southport, I stumbled upon it while waiting for my bagel from across the street. The place has a hipster vibe combined with a "hole in the wall" feel. Service was quick & I got my chai latte really fast, and enjoyed it in the sun.

What a great hidden gem! We found ourselves escaping the rain and wanted something warm and found ourselves walking inside here. The vanilla latte and Mexican chocolate latte were incredible and warmed us up right away. Didn't try any of the food but our service was prompt and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try some of the pastries.

I think I just had a one off bad experience but they were completely out of any decaf options and the latte that my friend got was so bad that when we left he let me taste it and was like "there's something wrong with that, right?" It barely even tasted like coffee. Super disappointed because I've had a close friend say they really loved this place. Maybe I'll have to come back some other day and give it another chance.

ICED CHAI LATTE REVIEW: You know it's a good chai when you can SEE the spice at the top of the lid (swoon)! Spiciness: 8/10 BEST FIRST TASTE EVER. The only reason I'm giving it an 8 is before after the first couple sips, the overall spice starts to go away.Sweet to spicy ratio: 9/10 (if you prefer spicy to sweet)Milk to tea ratio: 9/10 (I subbed the whole milk for almond milk)The location itself is very hipster! A lot of art, vintage decor and ~spooky~ decor including two skeletons having coffee in the window lol. I had to fight the urge to order a pastry because their croissants and quiches looked soooo good! I'd come back

Definitely an unexpected but great coffee shop. The vibe feels very hipster and chill, plus the decorations will surely catch your eye. I went in on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. I ordered one of their signature latte and a pastry- both were very delicious and reasonably priced.I docked one star because the barista handed me a drink with a crack in the cup. It didn't make much sense to me how he could not feel or see the liquid coming out of the side. He ended up remaking it for me, but the 2nd cup I got had a large piece of plastic at the bottom of the cup. Sucking up a piece of plastic is not very enjoyable but the coffee was still pretty good.

Came here on my lunch break. Lots of meter street parking, which made getting food quick real easy. Service was fast and friendly. Coffee was

The spinach feta pastry is so delicious. I will def be back for it and to try a fun drink!

This place is very unassuming and easy to pass by - I've lived in the neighborhood for going on 8 years and today was my first time in after googling "coffee" while at the corner of Grace and Southport. Between my husband and I, we got two iced coffees: a poca (pistachio + mocha) latte for me and a pistachio latte for him. Very good drinks!! Will definitely be back and make it a regular spot.
