Caffe Umbria

We were at Chicago last weekend and stayed at Kinzie Hotel. This cafe is walking distance from our hotel. They have great coffee here! Strong and aromatic. I tried the cold brew paloma on their spring menu. It was refreshing and taste like coffee with tonic water! Sort of like a coffee soda!

Ordered a med iced caramel latte. $7.25Coffee is obviously great but they dumped the caramel at the bottom. Couldn't even taste it. Which was an up charge that they failed to mention.

Good coffee but a quite mediocre breakfast sandwich.I ordered the iced honey oat latte, which was a pleasant surprise having heard that there wasn't much great coffee in the area.The breakfast sandwich was a relatively big let down though - it was crispy to a point of being over cooked and was served with a sauce packet (inside the wrapper) hidden inside, which was a bit less than pleasant.

Great Coffee shop serving up traditional Italian coffee. Love their lattes. Quick Service and Extremely friendly staff. The seating in the actual cafe is limited but there is some more dimly lit seating in the adjacent lobby. They also have some lovely patio seating outside. Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible cafe and restrooms. The staff always offers to help me carry my latte to the table (I'm a wheelchair user) which I appreciate. Non-dairy milk is available.They also support the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation along with some other organizations so with every strong cup of coffee you're also supporting some great organizations too.

I enjoyed the cappuccino al cacao. I thought maybe it would be something special compared to a regular cappuccino but I'm pretty sure it was just your standard cappuccino. It was still good. There is pretty limited seating in the shop but there is a quaint little lobby with additional tables and seating. This was a nice place to stop into on a chilly day.

Came here on a Thursday morning as a party of two. The line was long, however those baristas were shipping out drinks left and right! Everyone was pleasant and of course the service was fast. The cafe itself had typical product placement, white, wood, tan, kitchen painted tile on the "edit my drink" counter. Nothing out of the ordinary. The bar in the front was getting blasted by sun. The tables in the lobby were all full. We were able to snag a seat though. We ordered an iced honey vanilla oat latte and an iced lavender matcha. The cashier at the time asked if I wanted my matcha powder sweetened or unsweetened, the perfect question for a matcha lover! The lavender matcha was perfect. The barista whisked it in a bowl, and it was not too sweet even with the lavender syrup. I definitely would recommend stopping here for some caffeine. It's conveniently placed next to the Riverwalk too!

I tried a latte with whole milk, and I have mixed feelings about it. While I found the flavor of the coffee to be okay overall, I must admit that I wasn't overly impressed. However, I found the overall quality of the coffee to be rather mediocre. It didn't have that "wow" factor that I was hoping for. It lacked that extra touch of excellence that separates a good coffee from an exceptional one. The baristas at this coffee place were friendly and helpful.In conclusion, my experience with the latte at this coffee place was a 3/5. The friendly baristas, enticing menu, and convenient bar seating make it a good choice for a quick pick-me-up, but if you're seeking an exceptional coffee experience, you might want to explore other options.

Came in on a Friday morning at around 8am, and it was PACKED! Definitely plan ahead to wait in line for around 15 mins since there is only one (v talented) barista and cashier. I ordered an Americano and a super flaky pastry with spinach and mushroom. Super tasty and great stop on the way to work. Interior is small but cozy. The Loop location is much smaller than the Bucktown location, but quality is the same. Highly recommended!

High quality coffee, efficient service, and pleasant vibe. Finally a place that understands what a good coffee drink is about. The cappuccino was perfect and just the right size. The Marocchino was absolutely delicious, it was my first time trying this Italian concoction. To top off the great experience, the coffee for in-store consumption is actually served in glass rather than paper cup.

Awesome coffee shop! I don't think they have pour overs and only coffee shops with pour overs get a 5/5 for me. They have nice coffee, lattes, and more. I don't think there is anything special with their beans, but they make unique lattes and specialty drinks.You can get some pre made cocktail drinks too (non alcoholic) and kombuchas as well to go. It's also in a terrific location near the river!
