Crema's Take
“This kiosk in a Michigan Avenue mall punches above its weight with genuinely solid espresso and an unexpectedly excellent matcha program, plus pastries that regulars rave about—lemon donuts and croissants seem to be real standouts. The problem is consistency and execution beyond those highlights: the rating sits at 3.9 because service is spotty, drinks sometimes miss, and the mall-kiosk format means you're not getting a full café experience. Go if you're in the Gold Coast and want a quick, decent coffee and pastry grab, but don't make a special trip.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

The lemon donut may have been the best donut I’ve ever had. Wife got the pumpkin chia latte hot. She loved it and I had a strong drip black. Good coffee!
3 Greens Coffee & Bakery at 900 N. Michigan Ave is the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down and savor your morning. I ordered the lavender latte and the ham & cheese croissant, and both were absolutely outstanding. The latte was smooth, perfectly balanced, and…
Their coffee is really good (and generally I find most places have sub par coffee). Surprising to find great coffee at a kiosk in the middle of the mall, of all places. Idk what beans they use but theyre really good. I also think it often comes down to the barista so whoever was…
