Pedestrian Coffee

This is my new favorite coffee shop!! I have been recommending it to everyone I know. Even when it's busy, the people working are so kind and so chill. This next part is specifically for Johnathan (I think your name is Johnathan...whoever is in charge of the drinks menu): I am begging you, please PLEASE make the grapefruit rosemary latte a permanent item on the menu! I love it so much, I understand it has a very seasonal vibe, but it's so unique and delicious, I would drink it every day if I could. Please consider it (: If it does have to leave at the end of the season, I look forward to whatever the next seasonal drink may be, but damn this is a good coffee!!

Hands down the best coffee shop in the area if you need to work while having your coffee. I had to hang out in this area for a few hours waiting for someone. I first went to the Starbucks at Belmont and Clark--Starbucks is usually reliable for plugs but this Starbucks location is somewhat small with only one set of plugs in the floor by the door (at least as far as I could tell). Pedestrian is the opposite--quite a wide range of (mostly shared) work areas with accessible plugs at just about every seat. Coffee options are waaaaay better than Starbucks--I particularly liked the cardamom-rose latte which was so flavorful and not overly sweet. The folks who were working there were also super nice, even though every 20 mins or so they'd get a rush of customers and have to work super hard to get them through quickly. Thank you, Pedestrian for a great place to get work done (and enjoy coffee).

The quality of everything here is exceptional! Quality alongside a friendly barista team is a killer combo, making Pedestrian one of my favorite coffee spots in Chicago. High quality coffee beans (also for sale) and high quality matcha powder. Single origin pours are available and you can watch them pour a lovely black cup of coffee with care. Their food menu is next level. Support your local coffee shop😊

They’re simply the greatest. So welcoming and so friendly. They’ve got an amazing range of options for your coffee, tea, pastries, etc. love pedestrian 💕

Nestled right under the L tracks, this spot has a very nice selection of drinks, some good pastries, and a few new hot food items. Lots of seating, including a small outdoor patio with an overhang if you don't mind the train noise. Great spot to work, study, or read.
