4.5*!! Nomad Chicago = elite vibes!!! I stopped by on a freezing Sunday morning for quick bite. I ordered the Lavender Latte with a wellness add on of collagen and it had just the right amount of lavender; floral without being overpowering. My friend and I shared their roasted red pepper baguette which super flavorful. We also tried their focaccia, which was super delicious. The combination of creamy burrata, olives and a rich tomato basil pesto spread was very fresh and well balanced. The only downside? The wait time was pretty long and for such a big space, there's surprisingly limited seating so I wish they had more room for people to sit and enjoy their food. That said, the cafe itself is very cute. It has a cozy apothecary vibe with lots of cute things to explore while you wait. Overall, definitely worth a visit!
Stopped by for a quick coffee before heading to my hair appointment and am so happy to have found this spot. It is such a cute space with great coffee and I love that theres also an actual shop within the cafe. I would've loved to stay and have my coffee there, but the place was PACKED. I waited about 20ish min for a coffee and unfortunately there was no available space for seating. Might have to come back on a weekday.
Such a lovely cafe! It's got a very modern interior design with great music taste. I tried the matcha latte it was delicious and not too sweet. They also have seasonal menu such as ube tiramisu but I didn't get to try it this time. Besides coffee and pastries, they also have many different items such as souvenirs, bags, makeup etc for sale it's like a boutique! In addition, they have a private room for anyone who wants to host event which is an amazing idea of use of space. I'm in love with every bit of this cafe!
I recently shopped here and I seriously do not know why I haven't been here before. There is such a great selection of gifts and items that I would totally use in my home or wear. I picked up great accessories such as some stuff for my hair and my kiddos. And a really great and unique evening bag. I wanted to check out their vintage pieces more but wasn't in the mood to try things on. The space is beautiful and the service was great. I've also been for a private event and the space was gorgeous and the perfect amount of space to eat and drink. I will definitely go back!
I loved this place! The drinks were amazing- the hot cocoa especially. They have a variety of pastries and sandwich options. The croissants were fresh and flaky. There were a lot of different seating options, to chill, study, work, or hang out with friends. This is a coffee shop and gift shop all in one.
Very pleasant environment to hang out and nice staff. Ordered a flat white and enjoyed it. Also nice for shopping if you want to pick up something cutesy
Cute little retail store and coffee shop combined into one. I had an apple pastry and my friend had a croissant. Both were tasty and the coffee was good! The retail aspect was meh for me as I didn't care for any of it but I enjoy the concept!
