Satellite Coffee

This Satellite has saved my mornings. The girls who work there on Saturdays will be written into my will. The drinks are consistently perfect and the food options are great as well! I love the specials a lot too. The pumpkin pie drink in the fall is better than anything Starbucks could dream of concocting. Also right now they have a lavender white mocha drink and I want it injected straight into my veins. Love this place!! 🫶🏼

Not a really big fan of writing reviews, mostly because it is a waste of my time. Since I am actually taking time to review this place, it is going to be as snooty as I can make it. Here are my thoughts. Thought 1: I’m beyond light or dark coffee. If I ask for the Ethiopian coffee I want the Ethiopian coffee. Don’t ask as a clarification. They also need to turn down the temperature on their coffee maker. It was to hot and I could taste that they burnt the grounds during brewing. Either that or they didn’t actually use Ethiopian beans. Thought 2: If you bring my to go food to me on a plate, then I will be seriously considering taking the plate with me. Fortunately, for the business, I am a nice and patient individual and will wait for the barista to pack my food properly. Thought 3: This coffee shop feels more cooperate than the Starbucks inside the IBM building in Chicago. I’m pretty sure it survives because the sad businessmen just want to look at something other than spreadsheets and PowerPoints at lunchtime. Thought 4: the food was about average for a standard corporate coffee shop. As in, obviously prepackaged and warmed up. Have I had worse food, yes. Have I had better food, also yes. With that in mind, I would really appreciate more cream cheese on my toasted bagel. Restaurants can really make up for quality by increasing quantity. For $2 the cream cheese should be squeezing out of the bagel when you bite into it.

I’ve been coming here for about a month now and this is where I now get my coffee. They’re so nice and welcoming. The coffee selection is really good! A lot of different varieties of coffees, fraps, matcha and teas and some bakery goods! Their coffees are made fresh and delicious! Not too sweet and perfectly balanced! Also the cafe is very nice, organized and clean! Love it and the location as well! 💕 (pictured is their coconut cascade cold brew)

Satellite Coffee is one of my go-to spots! The staff is always so friendly, and the service is quick. Their snacks are fresh and tasty, and the iced tea is absolutely delicious—perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up. Great atmosphere, whether you’re grabbing something to go or staying to relax!

On Saturday mornings, we often come to Satellite Coffee after a lovely walk through the Journal Center complex. The coffee is excellent! (I think better than another very popular coffee company). My all-time favorite is their Turkish Latte made with honey and cardamom. I’m addicted!! Their bagels and muffins are also good. Most of all, the ladies who run this Satellite Coffee are efficient but very personable and provide great customer service!
