Hero Coffee and Bagel Bar

A cute coffee spot tucked away in downtown Chicago!I ordered their seasonal strawberry matcha which was so good. It was a bit too much on the sweet side for me, but I tried my boyfriend's cold brew and that was great as well!Our drinks came out pretty quickly despite there being a long wait.It definitely gets a little claustrophobic with how crowded it gets in the little alley.

Super inviting place with good vibes and fast service. We got a variety of bagel sandwiches and coffees and loved all of it. Everything came out hot and fresh with glorious cheese pulls. We agreed that the everything bagel was A+ due to the fact it was not spilling over the top with seasonings and taking over the other ingredients. Likewise, I was weary about having cream cheese on the sandwiches but moving forward I might start adding that to every breakfast sandwich - it was delicious! The Sausage, egg, and cheese was the crowd favorite today. Worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood!

What a fun local spot! We have been coming here every time we visit the city for years. It has changed in decor and ambience a bit but the flavors and commitment to the community remains solid!The menu and ordering counter are just as you walk in, and there are a few tables but it is a rather narrow spot. They have a bar for seating along the window which is a favorite spot.Their coffee is great and they have a ton of offerings. They also serve vegan donuts which are amazing! Fresh and light which is a fun pairing with various beverages.Their bagel sandwiches are a favorite of my husband so he got a Hippie Bagel Sandwich which was loaded and had the right chew (according to him). I just loved the coffee and enjoyed every last drop. I had one of their seasonal specials which seemed to be pairings of Girl Scout cookie flavors! Fun!Definitely worth checking out if you have never been, and we will return for sure!

Had a cold brew, one of the best. Got a bagel sandwich which one would think is routine but no way, it was incredible. They had very clean restrooms but if your going to eat there the music is very loud.

Came here on a Friday morning as a party of two. We walked in, were greeted, orders taken, and sat down at a table by the bar. The ambiance was fast casual. Something to note was that there were so many employees. We must have missed the rush because they were having a great time chit chatting and hanging out.We ordered two spring seasonal drinks: an iced Treefoil Cookie Latte and an iced Thin Mint Matcha. I would say both drinks lacked flavor. They were great for what we needed them for, caffeine, but the flavors weren't there.

$9 for a very average breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg, cheese). Must be loop prices. Bagel wasn't good either. I would not buy food from here again. I didn't have the coffee but I'm not interested in trying it after that sandwich.

Everything bagel with cream cheese 5/5; toasted nicely, was beautifully soft and chewyMatcha latte with almond milk (iced) and sweetener 3.5/5; not super matcha-y and the main flavor profile is milk and sweetener but this could be because I did get it sweetened though I do think it could stand to have more matcha powder added

Small coffee shop in the South Loop. I heard Hero Coffee Bar had a cute alley way look but it was the other location. Womp womp.We tried three drinks. I first tried the Brown Sugar Latte and Pumpkin Pie Latte. The flavors on both were a little weak for my taste. I saw that the Peach Cobbler Chai comes with a brulee top on it so I ordered it. They didn't ask how I wanted it so I assumed it came hot, seeing as it has a brulee top.... They made it iced for me so it was just a regular iced chai with a little peach flavor in it. I wish they asked, because for the price, I rather have the extra brulee on top.We also ordered two bagel sandwiches. They are decent and are good if you're hungry. Not my favorite but not the worst either.Drinks are made very quickly and I do appreciate that! I'm not sure I would go back to try again though.

Good small coffee place on Dearborn in South Loop. Hero Coffee Bar is a locally owned shop that has variety on the menu. It's not a big menu, but there's still quite a big though. Classic coffees to choose from. There's also pastries and sandwiches. Came in the morning and it wasn't that busy. It's a small place so it just looks busy if there's a few people in here. There's only a few tables and some seats by the window. Get some of the common coffee types here. Prices aren't that bad for a place like this. It's about $3 for an Americano. Several non dairy milks are available including almond and oat. Also there's food. It's about $8 for a bagel sandwich. Good and healthy. It has the Fig Nut Of Your Imagination. This has almond butter and organic fig nut preserves. Even though it's a small place, it has plenty to get to drink and eat. It has many coffees to choose from. There's also the bagel sandwiches that are okay for vegans and vegetarians.

Amazing speciality bagel options, fantastic Vegan pastries and the coffee was amazing - Lavender Latte was outstanding. Nice job!
