Heritage Bikes & Coffee
I've been going to Heritage for years. It truly remains my favorite coffee shop in the whole city of Chicago. It's so popular that I even ran into Trevor Noah there – for real!
The coffee is great, the people-watching is even better, and the bikes they sell and service are top-notch. If you're looking for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, Heritage is the place for you.
Dark Matter Coffee - Osmium Coffee Bar
Dark Matter is another great option for coffee in Lakeview. They have a wide variety of coffees and teas, as well as some tasty pastries. The space is small but cozy, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
It has a rather eclectic vibe, and a lot of my friends say they take their first dates there. So maybe give it a go?
Wake' n Bacon
The vibes are so aestheitc at Wake' n Bacon. The ceiling is covered in a beautiful floral display, and the walls are adorned with local art. The coffee is delicious, and the breakfast menu is pretty solid too. They have a great selection of vegan and gluten-free options, which is always a bonus.
If you're looking for an Insta-worthy spot with great coffee, Wake' n Bacon should be your go-to. Plus, you can try their funky (and picture-perfect) Lavender Haze coffee.
Two Hearted Queen
I recently discovered Two Hearted Queen while cat-sitting in Lakeview's Boystown sub-neighbordhood. I had an iced latte and damn it was yummy. The space is small but mighty, with comfy mid-century couches and tables.
Maison Parisienne
Maison Parisienne is truly a taste of Paris in Lakeview. The coffee is excellent, and the pastries are even better. The space is small but charming, with a beautiful vibe. When you finish sipping on their top-tier coffee, hangout until lunch to check out their wine menu!
