My stars reflect the Ube latte. It really wasn't what I was expecting. It had a light taste of Ube and not too sweet. Just wasn't the right Ube latte.Got a cookie butter cold foam with cold brew. It was the 2nd coffee listed. It was pretty good.

Such good coffee in Chicago! We stopped in here on our walk around the city. It was so quick. Very easy in and out spot. The place has comfy couches and tables to work from. A great spot in River North!

I came here to cowork with two friends, and it was a lovely spot with plenty of light, variety of seating options, and good Wi-Fi. While I was coworking, I got the Thyme is honey iced latte, and breakfast sandwich. It was a delicious latte that came in an adorable bear cup. The latte gave me enough energy to focus and was not overly sweet which was nice. My friend got the chai latte and she said it was also very good and well balanced, not overly sweet and not overly spiced. The breakfast sandwich was cheesy and delicious and the brioche bun was perfect. Overall, Happy Monday is a great spot to get some work done, grab a coffee and a bite to eat to start your day. I highly recommend stopping by and I will definitely be back for another coworking day.

Did a little coffee date with my husband here this morning! This is on the bottom floor of an apartment so we got to see lots of cute dogs come and go. We split the last croissant and had some lattes. Barista was super nice. He did let us know that they were out of the cute little bear bottle but that's ok! I got the thyme is honey latte (decaf), and my husband had a caramel latte with extra caramel and espresso. We both agreed that the croissant was just ok but the lattes were so amazing it totally made up for it. I hate when lattes are watery or the decaf tastes weird, but they were really really good. Didn't have to wait long for them either. And the aesthetic is very fun, love the plants. Glad we came here!

Awesome coffee and service. DRINKS //I ordered a 12 oz Bee Sting, which is one of their house special drinks with chili-infused honey, espresso, and cinnamon. My first sip had me swooning - it was delicious! There was a nice light burn in my throat from the chili-infused honey, but the kick was well-balanced out from the sweetness of the honey.I also got two bags of their whole beans: their medium roast for myself, and a bag of the bourbon barrel-aged beans as a gift for a whiskey-loving friend. I'm enjoying the medium roast. My friend said their barrel-aged beans had a strong whiskey smell/taste and "tasted straight up like liquor". Maybe it'll be good in some coffee-alcoholic cocktails.SERVICE //Service was great! The barista was friendly and clearly knew how to make a good latte. I also appreciated that they were honest with me when I asked how old the barrel-aged beans were - they said the beans were decently old, but due to the barrel-aging process, the flavor shouldn't be significantly affected.AMBIANCE //I stopped by on a weekday morning and saw a few others working inside on their laptops. It does seem like a nice place to get some work done - there were plenty of other open tables and seats in the main shop area.I ended up sitting in the back patio room, which had a lovely summer-y vibe to it: cushioned wicker and outdoor furniture (I claimed one of the comfy egg chairs for enjoying my Bee Sting), green "grass" carpeting and accents from real plants, a huge glass garage door wall letting in the day's sunshine while keeping out the wind and bugs, and music softly playing. Also a great spot to read a book or catch up with a friend.

Study time! This is a really cool place to meet with friends and study or knock out some work. They have a lot of yummy coffee items and (my opinion, a big plus is that) you can add THC to any of your drinks *wink* They have a adorable patio that has a beautiful aesthetic and it's a place where you can study but it's not very noisy nor distracting either. The service was good but there was only one person working, so you had be patient. Definitely check this place out when you want a nice place to work/study with a good cup of coffee.

I feel bad posting a review because I never got to drink the coffee. I arrived on a weekday right at opening time, about 2 min after actually. The batista was just arriving and setting up. He was clearly disheveled. So, I sat and gave him some time. Other patrons came in and lined up, so I was now delayed. He didn't recognize that, so I waited a little longer as I wasn't in a huge hurry.Then, a few more patrons came in and he told them he was overwhelmed with a large order and wouldn't be able to tens to them for a while. They left, and so did I.
