Groundswell Coffee Roasters

Maybe it was the delayed gratification of having to get ready for work with no coffee at home, but I stopped here this morning for an emergency coffee and it was the best work commute ever! Ordered a large iced latte with almond milk, lavender, half sweet (my go to!) I haven't passed by here recently but it's always been a great experience. Gonna have to add them to the rotation! I will say the inside of the store was nice and cozy this morning and they made my coffee unbelievably fast, so I even made the bus! Adding them to the summer rotation for sure!

Easy and simple coffee menu which makes ordering so straightforward and efficient. The coffee shop is small with a few tables to do some laptop work or enjoy your meal. I loved my iced vanilla latte with to whole milk and the service was fairly fast. It's about $7 total for the iced latte which is typically priced in the West Loop area. Great spot to try!

The cold brew here was solid - probably my favorite cold brew that I've tried in Chicago during this trip. The cold brew was super smooth, and the flavors were fruity and light with a fantastic and lingering after taste. The barista and I had a small conversation about the beans that were used to make it (some of their left over Ethiopian single origin mixed with another, I believe). It was the first drink he recommended after I asked for some suggestions. Most coffee shops just use left over junk coffee beans to make their cold brew (which is often nasty). I'm glad I was able to sample a bit before buying a cup (5.00 for 12 oz, I think).Great place for my friend and me to chill after lunch this Tuesday. There is a good amount of seats here and there were a few people doing work in the shop, too. If I didn't have so many bags of coffee beans already, I definitely would have bought a bag here.

Their doughnuts are excellent. No idea if they make them in-house, but they are well worth the price. Way better than other chains' doughnuts. Will have to try their coffee next time.

Great spot to stop in for a coffee or sweet donut treat in the West Loop. Service is always fast and the staff always friendly! For a small shop, the vibes are grand at Groundswell.

stopped in for coffee. nice friendly staff.. coffee was way too mild for my taste.

nice ambient and great aroma! the burritos are filling and healthy. they also get donuts from do-rite which is very fresh and tasty

Excellent coffee and lattes. The roast on the filter coffee is excellent. The latte featured housemade vanilla syrup, which is a serious plus given my wife has an allergy to high fructose corn syrup and that stuff is in EVERYTHING. Thanks for the great cups of joe, Groundswell.

Great local coffee roaster. Always consistently good.Good, friendly people.Love the local vibe!!!

Nice staff but very bad coffee. We threw out both of our drinks. Couldn't even taste the coffee.
