Very sweet staff. Okay coffee. Tasty bakery items.

Food and beverages are great here. What is not mentioned in the reviews is how ornery and incredibly rude half of the customers are who stay at the Drake, while expecting minimum wage workers from the south side to give two sh!ts about their customers problems. I was witness to it last visit, woman was berating the cashier and barista worker for about 20 minutes. Ironic she was woke and so critical. Regardless, great cafe with tasty food and beverages. Probably best coffee in Chicago, but a rare anomaly in a strange location.

Purchased the Neve Sulla Lava and a strawberry cream danish. Both were very good. Around $10 for both.

From the moment I walked in here.. I was greeted with kindness and energy! The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions I had. I was invited back to pop in anytime. I would say the customer service was more than I have had at a cafe in a long time!
I give this place 5⭐️
Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5⭐️ as well

Recommend: great coffee and food items. Unfortunately it seems only lavazza left in Chicago. Can be a bit slow during high traffic times but otherwise all great.

Good, but expensive. I come here often when I’m nearby, but wouldn’t usually go out of my way to visit. I recommend the mochas and the muffins.

Fast service, decent coffee. And huge shout out to Tamika, so friendly and intuitive as to what a customer actually wants. Thank you!

Prompt, easy, lovely ladies working, and the egg and cheese croissant was quite good! Cold brew delicious as well. 5 stars if it weren’t so overpriced for the sizes of what I got. $12 for smaller coffee and a half croissant, but still good

The last Lavazza in Chicago. Small café with decent amount of seating in The Drake arcade. Prices are fair and service is great. My drip with oat milk was delicious and tasted fresh even for later in the day
