Big Shoulders Coffee
Reviews
Had a great time here. Owner was friendly, baristas took care of me even when I was just sitting around enjoying the vibe. Had a great slice of apple pie, an amazing slow drip Burundi, and then a vivid shot of espresso. Awesome place. I'll be back again soon. UPDATE: One year later--This place still rules. My favorite in the city.
GREAT design, staff, and of course, COFFEE! I love the unpretentious vibe that comes from this place. Being that their coffee is what it is, they could easily slump to snobville. But, the staff are honestly all just really great people. They all seem to WANT to be there, which is refreshing from so many other coffee houses with drones who basically get your order for you while refraining from escaping their misery out the back door. Can't beat the homemade chai either!
We arrived on a peaceful Sunday morning and was greated with the nicest lady. She gladly took our orders and delivered the most wonderful macchiato's. We chose our seats by the window enjoyed watching the Chicago world go by. THANK YOU for an awesome experience.
I look forward to getting my coffee here. Their staff is wonderful and the coffee i just love. I highly recommend Big Shoulders!
Big shoulders usually means big attitudes but not this place. Laid back, relaxed, informative about their goods and a free cup of joe with your bean purchase. Unlike some other too big for their britches, Big Shoulders has good, unpretentious beans!
