About the Business
Located on South Ellis Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, Cobb Coffee Shop is a unique student-run café that has been a staple in the UChicago community for decades. With a grungy and messy aesthetic described as "gas station chic," Cobb offers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for patrons to enjoy.
Despite its unconventional appearance, Cobb Coffee Shop boasts one of the largest and most diverse food selections on campus, offering a variety of Hyde Park favorites and newer menu items. The shop was founded in the 1980s by students looking to transform a basement space into a thriving café, and has since become a popular spot for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as medical staff from the nearby UCMC.
In addition to its delicious food offerings, Cobb Coffee Shop also hosts events such as concerts in collaboration with the campus radio station, WHPK. The shop's staff includes DJs from WHPK, creating a unique synergy between the two groups. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee between classes or a place to relax and enjoy good music, Cobb Coffee Shop is the perfect spot for students and community members alike.
Reviews
"My favourite coffee shop on campus. Haven't actually had the coffee, but they have the largest tea selection around and their food selection is wonderful—I particularly love the vegan chocolate chip cookies, and they also have lots of dishes from De Rice, Snail Thai, Soul Vegan, Rajun Cajun, The Nile, etc. Sometimes their music gets a little loud and confusing but most of the time I really enjoy every song."
"I saw one of their employees actually assault a customer. drip coffee is also atrocious. 3/10 not enough hickies."
"We held a non profit board meeting here, and it worked out very well. We drank a truly ludicrous amount of coffee! Great art, great atmosphere, great looking cheese plate (can't comment on the taste as I'm a vegan). Will definitely go back next time I'm in Chicago!"
"Great music, sometimes coffee and food are also great. Not great lighting. I wouldn't come here to do homework. I would come here if had to. I would probably come if I didn't have to."
"Convenient, chill coffee shop. Offers ready made food. Coffee options are limited, but the coffee shop offers other options like pizza and a big selection of drinks."
