Reviews for Dollop Coffee Co. in Chicago, IL
I?m not sure who raised the rude af woman with whom I spoke, but she felt exceedingly comfortable commenting at length on my... body ? loudly and in public. I was so taken aback at the time I didn?t say anything, but I decided never to go out of my way tostop in again. I?m posting this today because I went back in for a coffee while my apartment is under repairs and the same womanwas working the cash register again. I tried to let it go and just get my coffee but I couldn?t remotely feel comfortable inthis establishment anymore. If the owner would like to contact me regarding this, I?d be open to a dialogue; however, at thistime I?d suggest anyone in this area to give their business to Spoken Cafe. It?s a much more inviting, friendly place, and theofferings are better. Really.. if I didn?t know any better, I?d swear Dollop was TRYING to push away customers at the Montroselocation. In summation mediocre-to-decent coffee, but HORRENDOUS staff conduct. Granted, this was one person, but it was infull company of her coworkers and nobody batted an eye. We?ll see if the mgmt or ownership end of the company cares, but I?m notholding my breath. 1 star given for having an outdoor pickup window and seating area. Read more
I was in Chicago for two weeks and this cafe quickly became my favorite hangout spot. Drinks are fantastic and there's a good... mix of classic coffees and newer trendy flavors (I highly recommend the honey cinnamon latte). As for food, the baked goods areto die for, and just the memory of the breakfast sandwich is enough to make my mouth water. All the folks behind the counterare personable and fun to chat with, and the space is welcoming and comfortable. I'm heading back to the East Coast but alreadymissing Dollop. Read more
Worst matcha I've ever had. I don't think they knew how to prepare it correctly as it seemed like they just put powder into the... plastic cup and poured milk over it. It was not mixed or sweetened at all. Read more
My partner and I stopped into this location to grab some quick coffee to go. We waited to the side and had our masks on the... entire time. We?re both vaccinated and pro-masks just to be clear. At one point, we pulled down our masks for approximately onesecond to share a kiss and then quickly fixed our masks back into place. As soon as this happened, the girl with the black hairbehind the desk loudly announced from across the room that if we were going to have our masks off we would need to leave or showproof of vaccination. I totally understand this, but to me, it felt like the most bizarre power move especially because it?s notlike we took our masks off to makeout in public. It had to have been at least *one second* where our masks were down and thatone second was enough to cause an uproar. It was so strange and embarrassing, I can only chalk it up as the employee having abad day. I guess the lesson is: show your vax card here if you want to kiss your partner while you wait for your coffee. Inother news, my latte was okay. Pastries were disappointing. Read more
I love Dollop Coffee for their yummy food, coffee, and friendly staff-- but consistently their hours are unreliable and change... on a whim. Today I planned to work there for the afternoon (after showing proof of vaccination) since online it says they'reopen til 4:30 pm. However, at 1:50 while on a work Zoom call, I was interrupted by a barista saying they're closing at 2 pm andI will need to get going. This was super inconvenient, and made me seem unprofessional since I had to cut the meeting short andrelocate. If an employee had clearly communicated to me that they would be closing at 2 pm when I chose to sit down and work inthe cafe, my experience would have been different. Instead they waited until the last minute and expected me to adjustaccordingly without an apology. Sadly, this isn't the first time this schedule discrepancy has inconvenienced me. I've walkedto Dollop twice during open hours, to arrive and find a closed and empty store. I was willing to give them the benefit of thedoubt before, but today left a bad taste in my mouth. My suggestion would be to call ahead and confirm their hours before makingplans to patronize this cafe. Read more
I really enjoyed coming here with a friend of mine over the weekend. We came just before closing and had tea together. The... person working was very friendly and knowledgeable. I like the vibe of the space and the menu looks nice. I'm looking forward togoing back soon Read more
