Everybody’s Coffee

some of the most beautiful latte art I have ever seen. and of course delicious coffee.
keep up the good work guys!

Nice place to work with better taste of coffee!
You can choose dark or medium roast for your espresso and coffee. My medium roasted latte and my husband’s dark roasted cappuccino were delicious!
It was a good place to work. They have sockets and free wifi. Staffs were friendly. I liked that bath room was clean and had enough spaces so that no need to wait.
I wish they open more on Sunday. They closed at 5pm.

Everybody’s Coffee is a must for any coffee lover. The Mocha Maya is amazing, with a nice kick from the cayenne pepper and spices. Great way to warm up from the inside on a frigid Chicago day!

So glad this place exists. Every one who has ever taken or made my order has been super friendly and helpful. Coffee drinks and pastries are delicious, high quality and unique and the prices are on point!
I come here most weekends to catch up on computery things or read and just enjoy the presence of people from all over our community.

Just know that all their tips get donated to the local shelter. So another reason to be generous. A coffeeshop with a heart.

Everyone has already shared wonderful things about this coffee shop so I won’t go over the basics but I will share the unique things I found out on my first visit:
I came here because my friend teaches at a school in the neighborhood and mentioned that she likes to do her work at a little hipster coffee place she found nearby. When the barista realized we were both teachers, she told us we can get a FREE COFFEE EVERY FRIDAY, all year long! How’s that for teacher appreciation?!
There’s a «share the coffee love» wall where you can purchase a drink and leave the coupon for a friend or a stranger, which is really great — very unique and adds to the friendly/​welcoming vibe.
Staff is super friendly. I spoke with one of them about the restaurant and found out it’s actually owned by Jesus People USA across the street. The staff here are all VOLUNTEERS through the church. How neat!
Prices of food/​drink are very reasonable. I paid $ 6 something for my coffee and banana bread, which isn’t too bad.
Street parking (pay to park) is available and plentiful.
So good coffee, «share the love» wall, and best of all, FREE coffee for teachers on Fridays — I will most definitely be back!

Local independent coffee shop. I came in here because I needed some wifi and some caffeine. They were doing a Friday demonstration of the «vacuum» coffee brewing method. Neat! See pics. Good coffee, though the pastry I had was «meh», hence the 4 stars. Overall, a solid coffee shop, I recommend it!

I came here after reading all the wonderful Unilocal reviews and I agree that Everybody’s Coffee is definitely worth a visit. One of the first things I noticed were actually the reasonable prices, especially for the desserts (my weakness). I really appreciated the humbleness of this café.
We had a simple iced latte, which was served in a wide-​mouth mason jar. They have ample seating as well as a small selection of board/​card games. We played a couple rounds of Battleship for old time’s sake. The wifi is fast, sadly faster than my home internet.
I don’t think I would go out of my way to come up here given the distance, but if you’re in the area, definitely stop by!

The Thai iced coffee is too good to pass up. All of the staff members are friendly and welcoming. Everybody’s Coffee is a great place to study, too!

Everybody’s coffee shop is truly for everyone: hipsters, young working professionals, students, pretenders, believers, dreamers, and etc. Therefore, this is my kind of coffee shop as well: career Unilocal writer and tiresome retail professional.
This is located inside the Wilson Abbey, which appears to be a venue for concerts or shows in the Uptown neighborhood. I was greeted by two (2) cool, friendly hipster dudes. One (1) of them gladly took my order: 16 oz. dirty chai and cinnamon pecan scone, while the other diligently carried the task of coffee-​making.
Hubby soon came over to meet after paying for the street parking across the road (being a responsible citizen). He joined me for our Monday coffee date and ordered the Cortado and a cup of yogurt.
If you want to feel relaxed without getting a pedicure or be therapeutic without seeing a psychologist, try this «dirty chai.» According to the description on their menu, it is made with Rishi chai mix with a shot of espresso. It has a stronger, bitter taste than Mayan mocha (containing cayenne pepper). However, toward a last few sips, the taste has turned smooth and slightly sweeter. I personally don’t think the «Dirty Chai» is everyone’s cup of tea due to its uniqueness. If you’re adventurous when it comes to food and drinks, I encorage you people to give it a try.
This café is PC-​, Mac-​, and tablet-​friendly because there’s a power outlet in every table. I see a little bit of «Logan Square» vibe, but non-​hipsters are certainly welcomed. The neighborhood of Uptown in Chicago may not be a destination for the world’s fine foods, but there are three (3) coffee shops you ought to pay a visit: Baker & Nosh, Heritage Outpost, and EVERYBODY’S!

Amazingly delicious espresso! Stopped in late one afternoon to boost my brain cells. Ordered a double espresso Machiatto with Half n’ Half, slightly dry.
The Barista made a wonderful drink. It was dark, earthy, smoky, — all the things I want in espresso. Super nice dude.
Lots of folks were hanging out working on their computers. Cool vibe, hip little place. If I lived in the area I’d be in here all the time!

There’s two types of coffee shops… coffee, coffee shops and ambiance coffee shops. Everybody’s Coffee has a little of both, but make no mistake they are a coffee, coffee shop. When I ordered my latte, the first thing the barista asked is if I wanted dark or medium espresso. I already knew this was a win. So few coffee shops ask what type you want because chances are no matter what they serve you it’s going to taste like someone burnt the beans. This latte was spot on and that’s why Everybody’s Coffee is a true Coffee shop.
The ambiance isn’t bad either. It’s a nice little community gathering spot. People inside are pretty chatty so be prepared to bring your headphones if you want to study. Plenty of seating and a nice large space with good art inside as well.
The coolest feature however is the share the love board. Here you can buy a cup of coffee and leave it for a friend to pick up whenever they come through or you can buy a complete stranger a cup of coffee and even aim it towards someone. Leave it for a student, an artist, or an elderly person. Awesome idea from an awesome spot. If you’re in Uptwon, swing through.

With my Indie Coffee Passport (ICP) tucked under my jacket, I made my way to Uptown to try «Everybody’s Coffee» on a Saturday afternoon. One thing I love about this place: Very Welcoming.
I stopped by with a friend for about an hour before leaving to grab dinner and then catching a concert at the Riviera. The barista was super nice when I asked for recommendations off their ICP menu, she recommend a «Star Wars Drink.» What?! So awesome.
I chose the «Vader» which is Coke from a glass bottle, 2 shots of espresso, 2 pumps of vanilla and ice. Their drinks reflect the barista’s creativity and spunk. I couldn’t finish the whole thing (it was a little sweet for me), but it was definitely unconventional and worth a try.
When the woman behind the counter explained what was in the drink, she was brimming with the same pride, joy and chattiness of Alton Brown from Good Eats. As a person who adores the Food Network (mostly watched from an elliptical at the gym…), I have instant affinity for this place.
It’s a quiet place for you to sit and just enjoy the coffee/​company. Their doors are open to everybody (yes even some characters who came in and lingered a little longer than expected by the register). The baristas are kind. There is a lot of open space (like a refurbished warehouse) with artwork of all sorts lining the walls.
I have a hunch that the staff changes their oeuvres d’art pretty frequently to keep the place fresh and colorful. Warm vibes are literally rising from the floors of this place. I was going to give this place four stars, but then I changed my mind. Here’s why:
It’s like they have an unspoken open-​door policy, turning no one away. I recommended this place to my sister, and when she was waiting here for a friend (running late) to pick her up (past closing time), they offered her a free drip coffee. What astounding, 110% kindness! When you treat my family, like family… need I say more on what makes the world go ’round?
Five stars for their kindness, because that goes a long way. Like, I want to befriend the owners and baristas. Maybe even the patrons who frequent this place, since they have a good eye for good coffee and good people. This is my tribe. You cannot outstay your welcome here. When I come back I’ll try a drink that’s more traditional, but here, it’s «everyone’s coffee» and the welcome mat will always be by the door.

The Indie Coffee Passport brought me to Everybody’s Coffee in Uptown. It’s located within the Wilson Abbey, and as soon as I walked in, I felt this was a place that had achieved the concept of a community gathering place. The large and open space has custom-​made long wooden tables with red bar stools and smaller wooden tables for one. These tables are inlaid with coffee beans. Its little things like this that make me feel so much thought went into making the place the way it is. There are also shorter-​height tables for 1 – 4 people to sit easily. Bright light streams through the windows. People meet here to meet, to study, to grab a cup of coffee and write Unilocal reviews.
EC has a variety of Star Wars-​themed drinks. On my visit, I ordered the darth malt, which isn’t on the menu. Raspberry syrup, chocolate syrup, espresso, and Mexican coke. It’s a cold drink that defines the concept of «coffee soda.» I felt like I was drinking a Cherry Coke-​inspired coffee drink. The barista even offered me the remaining bottle of Mexican Coke.
EC is re-​defining what a cold coffee or iced coffee is, and I wholly support them. This was my first stop on the indie coffee passport tour that made me think indie. Each drink is handcrafted, and that’s rare these days. I highly recommend this place to my fellow Unilocalers because EC is really repping the coffee culture here in Chicago.

I am so in love with this place. So every Sunday, there’s a special dessert. Today was coconut cake. I paired it with a mocha maya and lawd if I wasn’t in absolute heaven! I mean every single item I have had from here is really delicious! If you haven’t been you must go!

This would be the perfect coffee shop if they just served a simple soup. So many times I pass it by because I have to get some real food (usually I’m on the verge of fainting.) In general, the whole city seems to be suffering from a soup famine of some kind, and i don’t really get it because some soups are very inexpensive to make and they do keep. However, there are probably city regulations governing soup storage and dispensing, and other minutiae that I know nothing of, that render a simple crock pot impractical. But since Everybody’s Coffee makes no claims to a soupery, I won’t deduct a single star from their fabulousness for this unreasonable whim of mine.
That said, I totally understand: they want to focus on what they do best: coffee and delicious fresh baked goods. I’ve had their pie, rice crispy treats, and very yummy cream-​cheese frosted cinnamon rolls, and I can report they are all very good, very simple, and very fresh. You can tell they were baked with some love.
I always enjoy checking out the original art on the walls, love that they support local artists. Some posters have noted the vibe, which they describe as either relaxing or silent and stifling. Funny thing about sit-​down coffee shops: depending on who is in there at the moment and what they happen to be doing (book clubs, office work, studying or visiting) the vibe can vary a great deal. That’s why I go in places like this, check it out, and if the vibe doesn’t suit, I order a cuppa joe and go. Same as bars, basically.
I’ve been in here and it’s been very very silent, with everyone gazing intently into their computers as though the secrets of the universe were written there, and then on my latest trip this Saturday, everyone was so relaxed and the crowd was very mixed. It was nice for relaxing and chatting, while some people were working.
Very good fresh roasted coffee. The quality and freshness of the coffee matters most to me, as I don’t order specialty drinks. I have witnessed others enjoying them, though, and can testify to their apparent delight. I’ve had the tea, too, and I enjoyed it though I’m really not a tea person.
They had some cool ceramic salt shakers for sale when i was there. Lots of nice, thoughtful touches. I love the mason jars for water and also the silverware, which is an eclectic mix but high quality and a pleasure to use.
The seating is comfortable and nicely varied, as some have noted.
They host events and do a movie night, which I plan on checking out soon.

Everyone that works there is a coffee snob and I appreciate that as I am too.
Artisan teas are served in beautiful glass teapots with a sugar cookie.
I really like that my work table is a giant tree. The guys that work there are super cute. Look up and wave once in a while :) I love this place.

I like to hang out in coffee shops. I don’t do it all the time, but enough to know what I really want — good atmosphere, enough plug ends, calm patrons who aren’t raucous, tasty baked goods and excellent coffee. The crema on my americano is always one of the best, and the drink underneath it is superb.
This place is usually not crowded on the weekends when I go, the service is always friendly and helpful, and they always seem to have a good supply of chocolate chip cookies. I could ask for a better cookie frankly, but certainly not a better cup of coffee or better atmosphere. Baked goods are a solid 4.5 but then I don’t stray too far from the wondrous chip of chocolate.
If you like to spread out, they have many options from long tables to little round topped two seaters to three comfy chairs — not the comfy chair! — oh yes, I am writing from one right now and with most of these seats, the cord for my Mac reaches no sweat.
So — a highly recommended place to grab a cup of joe and contemplate the next leg of your journey as a writer, study for classes, or just catch the outstanding local vibe. It is my go-​to place, and a good option to avoid the bustle, noise and crowding of places like Baker and Nosh. See you here!

I kind of wish I was there right now. The atmosphere is great and most of the staff are super friendly and informative.
Unfortunately, it’s next to a homeless shelter (or something of the sort) so sometimes you get people who come in and lurk around and make everything a bit uncomfortable. When I was there, they were quite loud and simply loitering. There was also a guy in there once who was calling his various mail-​order-​bride-​to-​bes and talking about how America is crazy because women want to be equal to men. That was hard to not respond to.
As for the coffee though, yes, go. Enjoy. Stay a while.

This place has the most amazing Mocha Maya… a chocolately sweet yet spicy espresso drink. Although my latte was exceptional, my husband got the Mocha Maya and I was instantly jealous. I finished my latte and promptly ordered a large Mocha Maya to go.
Seriously, if you like spicy things, put this place and the Mocha Maya on your bucket list. If you just love great coffee, this place should be on your bucket list too. It’s worth the effort to get here, and the atmosphere inside is relaxing and casual. There are lots of tables and seating areas, so it’s always easy to find a spot to relax in. Worth the trip!
