Reviews for The Coffee & Tea Exchange in Chicago, IL
Finally found a place that can make proper coffee! Staff there are super nice and knowledgeable. And don?t even get me start on... the options, products they have! Amazing! Best coffee I?ve had in Chicago to date! Read more
Excellent coffee and tea shop, comfortable and friendly. I've ordered bulk tea (1 lb) from them a couple of times and the tea is... great (not always the case from other vendors). The prices and service are excellent as well. Highly recommended! Read more
First time ever going in and the staff was very kind and helpful, they gave great recommendations and I ended up trying the... "French toast" flavor in an iced oat latte. I have been a craft barista for over 5 years and hands down this is one of the bestcoffees I've ever had. Highly recommend checking this place out whether for coffee, tea, or some of their extensive selection ofherbs! Read more
Loved the entire experience. I got two bags of ground coffee (I recommend the maple walnut flavor) and tried a good coffee and a... delightful peach cinnamon latte with my fiancee. The staff were wonderful and extremely patient while we examined theoverwhelming list of options. I wish I lived closer so I could go here more often! I only tried the coffee but it seems like agreat place for tea and spices as well, and they have mugs and assorted equipment for making tea and coffee also. Will go backnext time I'm in town!

Look at how cute that stopper is! You know it's another Chicago classic. They have a superb selection of everything! I have to... return to try so many more things! Swiss water process chocolate raspberry decaf, pumpkin pie latte, I need to snag anaeropress, and buy some organic Ceylon cinnamon! Will be back! Read more
They have a great selection of teas, of all varieties. Now this may be because I had just got back from living in Washington for... a while, but the teas didn't seem to produce as much flavor than what I was used to. I got Himalayan Honey (Green), Pu'er,Chamomile, Licorice, Ginger, Matte and a few others. I tried a few different methods of steeping but the only way I was able toget more flavour was by adding more tea while steeping. Compared to the teas I still had from Washington, the flavour was stillless pronounced. But this again could be due to my pallet not used to Chicago again. Still, the selection and ability to gettea made there are good pluses. Read more
Nice place with a hipstery vibe. They have a lot of teas, spices and coffee that you can buy by weight or drinks. The entrance... area where you can order it's pretty small so only a couple of customers (2-3) can fit there at a time. This makes a line formoutside, especially during the mornings. I personally love the vast variety of caffeine-free tea. Tried the cranberry appleiced tea and loved it. Also ordered the banana walnut muffin and a chocolate croissant (both were great). Read more
Our go to coffee shop in our neighborhood! Great selection, friendly service, and excellent coffee and tea for an even better... price (and a good selection of locally sourced baked goods). We love to bring visitors here and have them pick their own coffeebeans for their trip. It's especially handy that they will do quarter pound orders of coffee and down to an ounce on teas. Wealso love their seasonal specialty lattes, always creative and interesting. Read more
