The coffee was absolutely amazing and staff so fun!! At a time when most Chicagoans had been scorned by winter’s second coming and felt annoyed to have to help anyone, these guys were happy and silly and smiling! Their coffee is an obsession (and I am totally coffee picky!) of mine, so to have service that goes with it 👌🏽
Pleasing to the eye and taste buds, the Mayan mocha! I personally like the taste of black coffee also, so I ordered LIGHT syrup. Made it perfect. 😋
The coffee is not that strong, but I guess it’s their signature. I ordered a large mocha, overall taste is good. The shop has a good vibe, decoration, and stunning art painting. A lot of outdoor and indoor seats. Not sure if they have free wifi.
I'm a fan of Dark Matter Coffee and have been for years. I no longer live in Chicago but always look for an excuse to visit when I'm in town. The cafe vibe is always fun, there is seating inside and out at this location, and there is plenty of fun merch available. Most importantly - the coffee is really good! Almond & oat milk are available for beverages.
Can never go wrong with a Mayan Mocha made with love by some of the best baristas on the block!
Great coffee and atmosphere, and open till 9pm, which appears to be rare in Chicago..
An interesting coffee shop. Ambiance and decor is appealing with the disco balls and such. Espresso is really great with how sweet and creamy it was. I paid a little over $3 for the donut and espresso which is so worth it. Service is top notch! A definite place to visit in Chicago!
Delicious Myan spicy mocha and breakfast empanada. 😋
Quirky, quitchy and cool... everything a Coffee Lounge should be. Dark Matter Coffee hits the spot with the various fresh brewed and breakfast items. WiFi is spot on, great place to lounge, work and converse. The outdoor patio is the place to soak in the sun and get your caffeine fix. Did I mention the staff is outrageously awesome!!!???
Great people but just not my cup o' joe. If you like brighter more acidic notes, this is the coffee for you. Still a great place and people would recommend anyone to give it a shot.
This place is pretty cool. The decor is really nice, hipster type place, the coffee is good and the donut we had was amazing (glazed with chocolate glaze), one of the best donuts I've ever had. There is inside and outside seating and it is dog friendly. The only downside, and this is a reoccurring comment from my trip to Chicago, the service was a little slow for me but I work in NYC so I'm used to things moving at a faster pace.
