Coffee Lab & Roasters
2823 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Coffee Lab & Roasters rotates seasonal specialty drinks with genuinely creative flavor combinations—think vanilla pistachio matcha and peach co-ferment cold brew—that actually deliver on the promise rather than just tasting gimmicky. Their house-roasted beans are legitimately excellent, and they keep 3-4 rotating cold brew options on tap, making this a must-visit if you're the type to hunt for exceptional local roasts. The vibe is solid and the execution is consistent, which is rare enough to make a detour worthwhile.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Pastries on the menu.

Good vibes and great drinks! A post online lead me to stop by for one of their 'Summer Specialty Drinks' a Vanilla Pistachio Matcha! It's was soo delicious I was chewing the ice for the last bit of flavor 🤣
Absolutely loving the summer menu. Their cold brew selection is unmatched with 3-4 different brews on tap at all times. The peach co-ferment is so unique and delicious. I have a super hard time picking between that and the iced honey mango latte. The honeydew matcha is also…
