Coffee Lab & Roasters 2823 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60657

"Coffee Lab offers specialty coffee, cold brew, pour-over, and a variety of single origin house beans. During my visit, I ordered a light roast Ethiopian drip and was pleased with its quality. They also offer a selection of dairy-free pastry, and I quite enjoyed the Earl Grey loaf. While seating is somewhat limited, there are some great window spots overlooking the street and a few tables in the back that are good for laptop work or just hanging out."

"Coffee Lab is our neighborhood go to spot on the weekends. The staff are all welcoming and warm. They take the time to get to know you and how you like your coffee. My husband loves their cold brew. He often gets a growler if we are going out of town to ensure he has quality coffee. If you haven’t tried the brown sugar cinnamon latte you’re missing out. You truly can’t go wrong here! Service is efficient and if you order something that will take a bit more time and they are busy they are upfront and let you know it will be a bit of a wait. My only wish is they opened at 6:30am so we could stop in on weekdays before work. This place truly is a hidden gem."

"Nice coffee spot. The coffee was not as good as I expected, but I still enjoyed it. The spicy mocha latte was nice and wasn’t sweet. Overall, if you’re a specialty coffee nut, don’t put it at the top of your list, but it’s not a bad spot to grab a warm drink. I wish they had a vegan food option."

"This is a great little place! The bare bones exterior made me go hmmm but inside it’s really warm and cute and super friendly. They roast their own beans and serve delicious strong coffee and the cheerful story-telling baristas seem to know everyone and how they like it. “Almond milk, right?” Tons of loyal customers streaming in one after the other which is really impressive given their location near a bunch of other great shops (Herb&Alchemy, VIGO, Heritage). Dog friendly too! I kinda really love this place."

"* Coffee could be better. You'd think they'd have pour over down but they don't. It's not bad but I can make better at home with my coffee maker. * wifi is flakey. It's kind of inexcusable for a coffee place like this. I had to use my phones hotspot. * it can get really really loud. The space is echoing and people talk over each other. Ugh."
