always got gooooood pour over here. espresso drinks are also outsranding~ love this place
Great little coffee shop with a nice small interior. Decent little patio. The espresso was good-not incredible but better than most. Good place worth seekin out if you're in the neighborhood.
Wonderful cafe next to Oz park. Full espresso menu to choose from with downstairs and upstairs community rooms to work or just sit and sip. There is a front patio for relaxing coffee on a sunny day as well.
Nice chilled vibe and by far my favorite coffee joint in Chicago.
Quite possibly the perfect coffee shop in Chicago.
Whether you're looking to chat with friends on a Saturday morning, get some work done during the week, or are just in the area looking for a proper cup of coffee - CityGrounds should be your move.
Boasting a quaint cobblestone patio in the front and large medieval-style door as you enter, CityGrounds sets the mood for what will be - I promise you - an abundantly enjoyable experience.
The baristas are knowledgeable and the pours here are sourced through Metropolis (so get ready for some lovely acidic/sour coffee notes).
The downstairs is slightly small and can get a little noisy, so if you're looking to do some serious work, head up the stairs to the elegant, window-laden loft space above!
I've been regularly coming here for 7 years now and I can't imagine stopping anytime soon. A frequent visit for me.
Love CityGrounds. They have everything I'm looking for in a coffee shop; good coffee, friendly baristas, and a lovely space. I'd like a better pastry selection, but you can't complain about what's here.
I wish their hours were later, but I don't think most people want coffee as late as I do.
I have explored many of the best coffee shops in Chicago, and this is definitely one of my favorites.
Quiet space with good music and a great area upstairs for coworking which is rarely crowded. Good coffee prepared well (Gaslight beans, I think). Check out their pies, too (not sure where they get them, but they are yummy).
CityGrounds is a pleasant local coffee shop, serene enough to favor a cordial conversation or productive study session. With an unembellished menu, CityGrounds excels at what they do sell from their limited selection of drinks. Providing indoor, outdoor, and upstairs seating, this coffee bar ensures room for everyone who makes a visit. Lining the patio is an aesthetic display of assorted flora, with a refreshing canvas of trees across the street to give you a break from the concrete jungle of Chicago. For those conscious about a product’s origins, this coffee house features regionally sourced coffee and foodstuffs from farms and cooperatives chosen based on quality, transparency and sustainability, so there’s no need to be concerned over your purchases at CityGrounds.
Coffee is good, but their winter hours are very strange.
Service was great and I really liked the coffee they had today. The prices are fair, and the atmosphere is good. Unfortunately their seating isn't very comfortable. But I would go back for their coffee and avacado toast.
Nice latte and great location, just a bit pricey
