Bad Owl is my absolute favorite coffee spot! The cozy vibes and exceptional service won me over instantly. The team there goes above and beyond, and let me tell you, the food is a delightful surprise – they really know how to make your coffee experience special.

A chill, laid back place to chat or read. I got the vegan over night oats, a bit sweet for me but a plain black coffee balanced it out.

When visiting a new city, one of my favorite things to do is trying new cafes/coffee spots. Bad Owl Coffee Roasters did not disappoint. I ordered at hot roasted almond latte and my boyfriend got the oat-chata latte. We both shared the Bridgeport burrito with avocado and breakfast croissant with tots. The coffee was amazing! The roasted almond latte reminded me of my childhood and was pleasantly surprised by the little almonds in the latte. It was perfect and wished I got the bigger size. If you're a fan of almond, you should definitely try! The oat-chata latte was fantastic too. I'm not a big fan of oat milk, but it went great with all the other ingredients. It really did taste like horchata coffee! I wish Bad Owl was back home for me because I would be here all the time. Food wise, it was standard. A bit pricy for what you get, but no complaints when it comes to the taste of the food.You can tell this place is loved by many. I saw so many people of different ages and ordering different types of coffee drinks.If I'm back in the city, I will be coming back! They have so many coffee options that are unique.

I really liked this coffee shop. I stopped here on the recommendation of a good friend of mine who used to live down the street. This shop is super bright and sophisticated. My friend told me it was Harry Potter themed, and I guess it has a very light HP theme (there's a small giclée of Hermione, Harry, and Ron on the wall, as well as a drink called Butterbrew, and owls. But I'd say the theme is more owls than HP (and I approve of that too because I like owls!).Honestly I had too many choices, and I couldn't decide. So for two people I ended up with four drinks so we could try a variety: a pumpkin chai latte, stardust lemonade, and two butter brews, one with espresso. Because I don't know literally anything about coffee I didn't realize that when they said the Butterbrew didn't come with espresso that meant it was coffee-free (I thought it didn't come with espresso, but instead had another type of coffee). It's SO unusual to visit a coffee shop that makes a non-coffee drink that's not a chai latte, hot chocolate, or lemonade, so the fact that one of their specialty drinks is NOT a coffee drink propels this shop into my top coffee shops immediately. And the Butterbrew was delicious! I like that it's also a drink that kids could have. The pumpkin chai was also quite delicious as well. The stardust lemonade was the most striking visually, but it was not quite as good as I'd hoped since it didn't have much lemonade taste. It was just okay.I also ordered a couple sandwiches, which is where the slight disappointment came in. One was for someone who doesn't eat cheese and I ordered it without both cheese and mayo. The barista who rang it up repeated it to me and it was correct. However, it was not made correctly and had both mayo and cheese on it. I had a bite and it was good, but the person for whom I bought it wasn't able to eat it so that was $14 wasted; not insignificant. I didn't expect to have to check it at the restaurant so I didn't, and obviously i wasn't going to drive ~30 minutes each way to get it corrected.I've found I can carry a drink holder with multiple drinks (four this time), a shopping bag, and a carseat with a 12 pound infant inside but opening doors with all that cargo still proves to be a bit tricky since I can't walk through doors. It was very kind of the barista to offer to help me by opening the door. I'd love to visit this cafe again, when I'm in the area which is not terribly often (I wish it had been here when I worked in Bronzeville!). Parking wasn't easy for me at all but it may just be that I was here at a popular time and that's why the street parking was mostly taken.
Friendly staff, great service, exceptional food and drink quality.
