I've been hearing rave reviews about Blue Bottle, so I finally decided to check out the Tribune Tower location. Arriving early to secure a spot for some work, I was pleased to find a few tables available - a handy tip for future visitors. Service was prompt and friendly, with the staff assisting me in selecting some delectable items from the menu. Opting for the Saffron Vanilla Iced Latte paired with a ginger molasses cookie was a delightful treat! Though the interior space is modest, its chic ambiance adds to the overall charm. Situated on Michigan Avenue, it's conveniently located for a quick stop before indulging in some retail therapy at nearby stores. Without a doubt, I'll be returning for more of Blue Bottle's offerings. It's definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite coffee spots in the city!

It's delicious. It's close to tourist attractions, so it's easily accessible.

I tried the iced spiced Nola and I’ve been thinking about her ever since! Delicious! The baristas were friendly, the space was clean, and the service was quick! Their merchandise and cups were actually adorable as well!

It's too expensive. A cup of coffee costs $8.

This is our daily pit stop after daycare drop-off. It is a really welcome oasis after a chaotic morning, with good coffee, awesome pastries, and friendly staff. It's fun to people watch the individuals walking through the plaza too. Victor, Leslie, and Team, keep up the good work!

unfriendly/unwelcoming place, this location specifically, very corporate vibes :’(

The place is very, very small, but it is understandable, since it is in the very center of Chicago and in the Michigan Avenue area. Normally, we visit River North's Blue Bottle, and so are the comparisons. This place does not have high chairs for children, the other Blue Bottle does (and very comfortable), the seats here are made so that you leave early, not the same at the other place. We went when there were not many people and it was cold, therefore, we were able to find a place. The NOLA (New Orleans) vanilla iced was good, but the one at the Wolf Point location is better. The Latte was almost the same as the other place. Unfortunately, some drinks are seasonal and are not released again. The waffle is not as good as the other location, and we had to ask for the chocolate, because they didn't put it in (even though there weren't many people, nor a line). The line at the bathroom can be terrible. The view of the avenue is very nice, but extremely limited. It may improve when there is a terrace in summer, but compared to the other branch, the Blue Bottle at Wolf Point is much better. However, this coffee is much, much better than Starbucks, I hope Nestlé doesn't ruin this coffee.Vegetarian options: They have bread with avocado.

Sought out this place but after trying it I likely would not try and visit again. Their best thing is location next door to ice cream museum and near the river. Ordered an Iced Mocha and was given a glass cup mistakingly for an eat in order, the desire they had to be trendy was not the best choice in my opinion. To-go cup was given as a hot drink cup for an iced, again not a great choice
Cons: Not a spot you should expect to work at - no outlets, very slow wifi, and limited table space (2 two-seaters and 1 six-seater)Pros: Good coffee and service

It was very busy. My green tea was prepared extremely bitter. They left the leaves way too long in the water. If you tea for 6 dollars, you expect a better job.

It’s considerably smaller compared to the other blue bottle location. But here you also get a great view of the city and the space still felt quite spacious because of the overall white design. We ordered an espresso and a Cordato and they were both really good!

I like tish brand since 2017, when I have been to Tokyo in Japan for a while. The branch in Tokyo was so good and I liked latte. After few year I could find Blue bottle in South Korea. I feel as if I am traveling city where I live whenever going to this place. I love them!♡Coffee is so go_od.
