places in chicago to try

places i have tried, and can vet

• emerald city coffee
• dollop coffee
• colectivo coffee
• jackalope
• bru
• hotel chocolat

• a cup of joes (#supportlatinebusinesses, also yummy drink selection but i really enjoyed their mazapan latte and their toxica drink which was essentially cafe de olla and horchata)
• wormhole (the kindest and most beautiful baristas. specialty drink also so yummy; it was a fig matcha when i went)
• build coffee (the loveliest setup, outdoor area in the summer is so lovely)
• robust coffee (been once, but i really liked the vibes and it's on a cute little corner. the exposed ceiling was cool and the drinks were good from what i remember. i think maybe they specialize in like lemonade of some sort?)
