Dollop Coffee
4181 N Clarendon Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Dollop is a cozy neighborhood refuge with retro charm and genuine hospitality that keeps regulars coming back for their morning ritual, where skilled espresso pulls are paired with solid pastries and fresh sandwiches in a space that feels both artful and welcoming. The team's consistent warmth—even during rushes—combined with thoughtful options for health-conscious customers makes it feel like a place that actually cares about who's walking through the door. It's the kind of independent coffee shop that restored faith in people who thought they'd only ever belong in corporate chains.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

what an amazing place. awesome atmosphere with equally good food. i usually prefer going to corporate coffee places. this establishment has changed my mind on that. forgive the picture i couldn’t resist biting into the cookie.
Not only is this the cutest and coziest coffee shop in the area, but it was such a wonderful surprise for me that it is great for diabetics, or people watching their sugar/caloric intake! Their sugar free mocha is the best mocha I’ve had in the city, and their espresso is great…
My favorite Dollop in Chicago. The coffee’s always great, the pastries are solid (not mind-blowing, but definitely good), and the sandwiches are tasty and fresh. It’s a cozy spot — perfect for sitting down with a warm drink on a cold day. I’ve also used their printing services…
Very Friendly outstanding service they are super busy always but always have a smile even the ones wearing a mask. We come more then 3 times fir out morning Joe. It has become our friends stop. Characters are always welcome. Danny & Carlos
Fantastic spot with retro decor, lots of art of sale and a pretty solid menu. Towards the back of the shop there's a small set of steps and some additional seating. Great neighborhood spot of you're looking to work, read, or do art.
