Dark Matter Coffee - Electric Mud Coffee Bar

Delicious coffee with a fun atmosphere inside! Checked it out on a whim and really loved the music they played inside. Perfect way to relax on a hot day with the iced coffee and will return!

I stopped by here to get my morning coffee before running errands as I am a huge fan of dark matter coffee. I got the vanilla suburbs natural cold brew and it gave me the kick I needed after not getting a good night sleep and having to be up early. This coffee shop is located right off the western line which makes it really convenient if you are taking public transport and stop here. The quality of the coffee is strong. The service is always nice and quick. I definitely want to try one of their signature latte flavors next time.

Dark Matter is awesome! This is the second location I visited. I was recently on a weekend trip to Chicago and was able to meet up with one of my high school best friends on my way out of town. We met here at Dark Matter for a couple of hours and had a great time. The vibes and decor here are great! The staff was super friendly- you can tell they have plenty of regulars. To drink I had the Mayan Mocha which was iced and I added oatmilk. It was really good because they have great quality coffee that is really delicious - but the flavors didn't come out how I had hoped. The Mayan mocha has chocolate, agave, cayenne, and cinnamon. If I were to return I would get this again but ask for a bit more spices. I also had a vegan chocolate donut. It was delicious- couldn't even tell it was vegan. Overall we had a great time and would definitely return!

This coffee? Absolute floptina. Tasted like they roasted it in Satan's air fryer. Tried it twice, months apart, and both times it was CREMATED. And the caffeine? One sip could probably send John Cena to the ER. Seriously, this chain is all marketing, zero quality.

Great vibe, kind staff, clean location, quick service and delicious coffee. The regular coffee is piping hot and smooth. Dropped a star because my husband got the specialty bourbon coffee latte and it just didn't taste good. Too much bourbon flavor, not enough sweetness, all in all just not great. Plain coffee is where it's at! Plus though baked goods looked awesome.

I was staying at my friends across the street and I needed a quick caffeine fix. She recommended Dark Matter. It was busy inside and it's pretty small. I ordered a dirty chai. It was ok. There was a flavor in it I felt like I couldnt put my finger on. Their pastries looked good but I didn't try one. The drink was fine and I guess did the trick. Maybe I'd go back and try something else because she really loves this place.

I've been in Chicago for three days and for three days in a row I've come here for my morning coffee! I have quite a drive for what I am in town for and this is the only none national brand coffee shop open in the area early enough for me to go to and I'm so happy that it's this spot! I have really liked the iced coffee I've gotten the past two days and the almond croissants and amazing! I really love that they have oat milk out on the stir-in counter. I have never seen that at another shop - such amazing customer service to have an non dairy option for everyone! The staff has been very kind and attentive the past three mornings. I will absolutely come again next time I'm in town!

EXCELLENT COFFEE. Truly some of the best. Plus their staff are all very friendly and will gladly walk you thru their options.

Another place around here that has this great coffee. Dark Matter has this shop called the Electric Mud. It's hard to know what this name means, but it sounds cool though. Basically there's only this one small room for a few customers if that, and the menu is small also. That doesn't mean it's bad of course, as the coffee is the most important part. Came here recently one morning and got some coffee and one of the few things they had as food. It has about the same menu at all locations. There's not a whole lot to choose from, but it's good no matter what kind of coffee you get though. It has several choices of cold and hot brews. The best one so far is the Agave Latte. It's about $4 for a regular cup. That's kind of overpriced but it's still not as bad as other places. It's made with agave, almond syrup, dark chocolate, and the Matter Cinnamon Blend. Mostly the food options are only the Taos Bakes bars, which are good to munch on between sips. It's about $3 each. These come in a few vegan flavors and these are also fairly healthy. Good stuff as far as coffee. It's kind of expensive for the amount you get which is the worst thing about it. There needs to be some more food options but the Taos Bakes bars are good for morning snacking.

Love Dark Matter Coffee. Exceptional Mocha's where the taste permeates throughout the whole cup with consistency of taste from top to bottom. barista's perform great artwork with the foam despite my love of oat milk. (Non-dairy is more difficult to create an artful foam top)Unicorn Blood Espresso is a go to for whole bean to use at home. Very consistent roast and taste. I keep coming back because it's so good.
