Hero Coffee - Chicago

Interesting location for a coffee shop that is hidden in an alleyway. Service is nice. Cappuccino is ok though. It's a bit flavorful and aromatic. Spent $5 for it. Also wished they had more options to choose from as the menu is pretty limited.

I love this place. I call it Harry Potter Coffee, I guess because you walk down this hidden alley to arrive at the wizards of coffee. I read that this location was temporarily closed. I walked by anyways to see if they were actually going to re-open. While reading their posted sign, the door opened and an extremely pleasant person explained to me that they were indeed going to re-open, staffing shortages had been plaguing them, but she was training new staff right now. She then invited me in to allow her new staff to practice making a latte for me. They were all so nice. The iced latte was excellent. Everytime I am downtown this coffee shop is a destination. I cannot wait until they are open and have their chairs and tables out. THANK YOU!

Located at the end of an alleyway, nicely decorated with lights and garden tables. Would recommend stopping by! They have non-dairy milk alternatives including oat milk. They also have a variety of syrups, the lavender was very light.

Delightful coffee shop. Enjoyed a Fast Brew with oat milk, my husband a mocha latte with oat milk. It is a small shop holding about 2 people at a time. The line for walk up service was moving. The online orders appeared efficient. The folks in the shop were smiling and busy the whole time. Give them a good tip. :0)

Great location! We were here in October 2021, we had excellent lattes, especially considering we got there quite late in the morning and they were out of whole milk. We don't ever drink lattes with 2% but these were excellent even so, so I imagine they're amazing with your milk of choice. Also had a very very good bagel with pesto cream cheese. This is in my top two lattes I had in Chicago, over the course of a week.
