ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Here they offer a very non-European pumpkin latte, but we recommend the pumpkin chai latte. Spiced with star anise, cardamom and clove, it’s a more fitting tribute to the flavors of autumn. Read more
Time Out Chicago KidsMarch 21, 2012Who cares if Junior threw a fit before he got his kaiserschmarren (caramelized pancake)? You have your baked eggs served atop potato pancakes with Parmesan and truffle oil. All is right with the world Read more
C ReyJanuary 31, 2016A little slice of Vienna in the Southport neighborhood. Grab a table, try one of the signature espresso drinks, and linger for awhile. They also have classically inspired live music on occasion.
This is a great place to meet for coffee or tea with a huge selection. The food is also really good quality!
Jamie IacobucciDecember 15, 2015The coffee is amazing! The pastries and desserts are divine...beautiful to look at and delicious to taste!
The best DAMN coffee in the world.The only place you can find it outside of chicago is Vienna.Recommend coffee with a dessert or any of their Breakfast-lunch-dinner menu.Service sucks but worth it.
- Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 11, 2012Since this Austrian coffeehouse is an expert in coffee and tea, it’s no surprise it makes great hot chocolate, too, using imported cocoa and steamed milk. Read more
Their pastries are awesome! Try the Mozart Torte or the Vienna Eiskaffee they're both worth the calories!
L HessNovember 2, 2013Full service! Don't order at the counter (like I just did) ;-) Nicest coffee shop I e been to outside of Europe.
Corinna PFebruary 28, 2012Come for the amazing coffee and do NOT skip out on the incredible pastries!
The Esterhazy here is *amazing* if you like hazelnut!
Michael StumpMay 20, 2012One of chicago's coffee gems. Their seasonal beverages are always gangster.
I adore this place. It saddens me that people bring small children here that don't know how to be quiet and behave. It totally kills the experience. There should be an age limit or policy.
Get the Ham Specks! And the iced coffee just tastes better here.
Lauren P.January 2, 2011If you are coming to meet someone just tell them table for one, the girls are super bitchy about sitting at a table even if youre ready to order
Lesley SmaleApril 22, 2012Come here when you have a lot of free time. Slow service but worth the wait
Latte not up to snuff this trip, I'll be back for another go
Ketty MercedesDecember 16, 2013Cold and standoffish service from my waitress... Food is Delish! Seems like they have a thing going on for mediocre service. Not my first time there and based on other reviewers, same experience!
MazdaNovember 15, 2010For over 145 years Julius Meinl has been Central Europe's leading coffee company.
Christina SkurskyJune 15, 2013Service SUCKS. Get everything to go. Latte was amazing but not worth waiting 30 minutes for if you sit.
order a chai tea latte. one of the best i've ever had!
Thoroughly European, right down to the great food and painfully slow service.

"The video was clear and stutter free. I hear they have a 4k or ultra-HD setup. Audio, contrary to gripes I've read in a few other reviews, seemed perfectly fine really... I love this place..."
