Drip Collective

Where else can you sip on a cold brew while watching classic episodes of Martin while listening to great music?? The drip collective is the definition of chill it's the only coffee shop where I don't grab my drink and leave i enjoy spending time here and the Cheese Danish is dynamite!! Staff is awesome too!!

Favorite Chicago coffee spot at the moment and one of the best specialty coffee places I’ve ever been to. They treat each latte as a thoughtfully crafted artisan drink cocktail vs just a simple pick me up. Here you’ll find the most interesting combination of flavors and ingredients in matcha and espresso based drinks. My personal favorites are the pandan latte and the ube butterscotch latte (seasonal). As for the interior, this place is most conducive for having a casual chat with a friend or just hanging solo. Some people do laptop work but I feel it’s more a spot to disconnect from technology (and I don’t see many outlets for charging).

Great atmosphere for hanging out with friends and good coffee. However, the service was quite bad as the person ringing me up was on their phone (Instagram to be specific) during the entire time they were ringing me up and they were a bit rude during the interaction. Unfortunate service for such a cool spot.

Come to Drip when you’re in the mood for a very specific vibe: feel like people were either working on their manuscript or plotting a revolution in here. All jokes aside, it is a very unique space serving some solid drinks! I got a matcha latte which was solid, though my only gripe is that it did take a while for us to get our drinks (granted, it was a busy Saturday morning). If you’re looking for solid staple beverages in West Loop, would definitely give this place a shot! Also it is a bit hard to carry a conversation in here since it’s a bit noisy.

The atmosphere here is actually pretty cool and the music's at a nice level where you can still chat comfortably. We came at a good time with little to no wait from ordering to getting our coffees. We tried three drinks, all of which were just okay. not bad, but nothing that really stood out. Still, it's a nice spot overall.
