LVL UP COFFEE

I stopped by LVL Coffee in Bronzeville and was instantly impressed! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff truly made my day with how friendly and genuine they were. I asked for a recommendation and tried their sesame cappuccino?wow. It was unique, rich, and absolutely delicious. The shop has great seating, a chill vibe, and everything is super clean and thoughtfully designed. They also have a great variety of coffee options?I?d honestly love to try them all. You can tell they care about qualit

Amazing coffee. Try their iced ?L Dorado? or Sesamo Cappuccinos. They have specialty lattes that you can?t get anywhere else in the city. Phenomenal service and space. It?s just beautiful. And they have a ton of plants ! Lots of outlets and a great place to get work done. Ton of space and lovely booth in the middle. All the drinks come iced as well, so it?s perfect for the summer time too.

The BEST coffee shop in Chicago! The menu is out of this world, offering unique and delicious options you won?t find anywhere. The freshness and quality of the food and coffee are unmatched in the area. The beautiful interior design paired with lush greenery creates an atmosphere full of positive energy, making it more than just a coffee spot for the community. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. LVL UP Coffee is truly a home away from home. It?s my go-to spot, and I?ll defini

I had an absolutely amazing experience at LVL UP Coffee!! Delicious, high-quality coffee, fresh pastries and a beautiful space. The staff is super attentive, knowledgeable and hospitable. And what makes it even better is that they are community-centered. I?ll definitely be back and look forward to making my way through the entire drink menu!

Get excited!!! I was at this coffee shop for their grand opening and I was instantly impressed by their interior design. They have a friendly staff??, a unique drink menu with syrups made in house??, and PLANTS??! I can see this shop becomimg a hotspot to get work/studying done. They also offer wifi to patrons and multiple accesible electrical outlets (there's so many!)

Amazing quality coffee and great customer service. Pastries are so fresh and delicious. Great addition to the neighborhood! We appreciate this business , thank you

Did not expect this place to be around the corner from the air BnB. This place is usually seen in trendy, rich areas of inner city Sydney or Melbourne where we think we are the worlds best coffee critics BUT- this is a hidden gem! I had a Girasol latte which was tumeric, honey, cinnamon and I had a standard espresso to finish Each coffee was weighed, measured and timed which for me is crucial for brewing (at least selling) a quality coffee.

Tried 3 different coffees and all 3 were phenomenal! The place is such a great atmosphere-super chill vibes, AMAZING coffee. New go to coffee run ????

Beautiful cafe with an incredible menu of unique drinks. I've had the coffee twice since they opened and loved both of my orders: L'Dorado and the Sesamo Cappuccino. Can't wait to go back. I also definitely plan to work from here soon.

LVL UP Coffee is hands down one of the best coffee shops in the city! The coffee is always rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, and their pastries are fresh, flavorful, and the perfect pairing for your drink. What truly sets LVL UP apart is the incredible team ? the staff is consistently friendly, warm, and welcoming. They remember your order, greet you with a smile, and make every visit feel personal. I highly recommend their Matcha Latte ? it?s one of the best I?ve had anywhere: smooth, not too sweet, and

LVL Up Coffee is a total gem! I tried three different drinks and every one was incredible, but the sesamo cappuccino was next level. The ambiance is cozy with super chill vibes, and the barista is a true expert. Great coffee, great atmosphere and this place is officially my new go-to!

Absolutely blown away by this new gem! From the moment you walk in, you?re greeted with warmth, style, and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The baristas are true pros?friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. Every drink I?ve tried has been flawless, from the rich, velvety lattes to the perfectly pulled espresso shots. The space is beautiful too?modern yet cozy, with a strong sense of community. A must-visit for anyone in Chicago who loves great coffee and good vibes.

This super cozy and welcoming coffee shop in the up and coming Bronzeville area of Chicago is the perfect place to sit back, relax and have yourself some authentic cafe de olla that perfectly exhibits the Mexican culture that owner, Wendy Onefre-Shah, proudly represents. The type of place you can lose track of time in because the ambience is so calming. From the lighting to the comfortable seating to the delicious pastries, you?ll definitely want to make this your regular to-go spot.

One of the best cafes in Chicago, and definitely the best cafe on the south side. They opened recently and have made great little adjustments?they clearly pay attention and want their cafe to be one of the best the city has to offer. An absolute gem of Bronzeville. Long may it reign!

Absolutely beautiful space and amazing coffee program here at LVL UP. When you walk in you?re wowed by the interior design and thoughtful curation of hospitable space, and they have some unique and creative options on their menu! They?re do the classics super well too, so don?t be afraid to order a pour over and enjoy the product of quality beans and meticulous process. Cheers, Southside!

Only rating it lower score because of the recent change of operating hours. Really cool space with good coffee and plenty of tasty pastries. However, the very recent change to push opening back to 8am rather than 7am is such a huge miss, in my opinion. Granted I?m not deep in the data but after being open for such a short period with such a drastic change is disappointing. I want to come back but with the new hours it?s make it much more difficult. I really hope that changes. But I stress, you must che

What a fantastic addition to the Bronzeville community. I?ve been to LVL Up twice this past week and I love it. The coffee is elevated, but the price is not?a latte here is $2+ less than Starbucks, and it?s hand pulled, and it?s higher quality beans. My one and only criticism is that I wish they opened at 7am, not 8am, because most mornings I start my commute between 7-7:45 am. The atmosphere is bright and sunny and overall ?a vibe,? as the kids say. I definitely recommend!

I stopped by about a month ago, when they first opened and was very impressed. The owners were so kind, personable and accommodating. The latte I got, AMAZING! An the atmosphere is definitely one that makes you want to stay all day. Cant wait to visit again.

LVL UP COFFEE is an absolute gem! The service here is impressively fast, ensuring you never have to wait long to enjoy their delicious offerings. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or indulging in one of their unique teas, the staff is always prompt and efficient. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot to relax or work while sipping on your favorite drink. I highly recommend lvl up coffee for anyone looking for a speedy yet delightful experience.

Love this place Great atmosphere, design, delicious drinks. Definitely recommend this place!

This place reminds me of our hometown coffee shop. Place is so welcoming and comfortable. Have had a couple of drinks so far and they were really unique. Perfect place to just chill, read, or play some monopoly deal! Will be back regularly enough that they might have to put a special drink with my name on the menu ??

Great coffee, a very friendly staff, and such an aesthetic atmosphere! They're new in town and already a favorite of mine!

The place is beautiful with plenty of seating and it?s quite comfortable for a meeting, date, or for working. The L dorado is hands down one of the best lattes I?ve had anywhere! The homemade brown butter turmeric syrup made it amazing! I?ll definitely frequent this place.

Great coffee! The atmosphere is very welcoming. I live in the neighborhood so it?s nice to have this so close to home. They have a very cool sign on the building to identify them. Great place

LVL Coffee Shop has stunning interiors, cozy vibes that sets the perfect atmosphere. I?ve tried the L?Dorado that was unique and absolutely delicious. Can?t wait to come back and spend a workday here. A new favorite spot!

The espresso is SO good! Rich, smooth, flavorful. So happy they make their own syrups. Love the decor and all the cute touches. Service was excellent!

Hands down the best cup of coffee I?ve had in Chicago. I?m hooked on the El Dorado, there?s something about the smooth caramel and buttery finish that I haven?t found anywhere else. It?s rich, comforting, and has this unique depth that keeps me coming back. If you?re in Bronzeville, do yourself a favor and try the El Dorado. You won?t regret it. The ambiance is also really nice. Great place to study/get work done!

We tried a bunch of their coffees - L. dorado, sesame cappuccino, and chai latte. I absolutely loved them all, especially the L. dorado. All the drinks were super unique and served with a Parle G which is such a nice touch. The staff, service, atmosphere are all wonderful. Can't wait to go back and hang out there.

I checked LVL UP COFFEE on Sunday, right after their grand opening. The service was amazing. The environment was immaculate. The drinks (Masala Chai and London Fog) were delicious. The pastries were perfect. I wish I lived closer! Will always find an excuse to do though.

LVL UP Coffee is clean and well put together, with plenty of seating and a great vibe. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I?ve had a chance to check this place out twice now and loved each experience! Everything is made in-house and from the drinks to the vibes you can tell the owners really spent time working to curate an amazing space for Bronzeville. I will 100% be back!

Very chill vibe. I would add to not come here if you?re in a hurry. They like to take their time. Pour-overs are a time-honored method and can?t be rushed.

Excellent place to work when in Bronzeville. Definitely a cut above the rest. Very fresh, clean, and professional. The coffee and teas are outstanding and prepared by bariatas who truly enjoy quality coffee.

One of the best coffee shops out there. From coffee to pastries to ambiance and customer service, it's got it all. Amazing vibe and fantastic experience. Definitely coming back for more.

Great new cafe in the neighborhood. They have great coffee and tea. Food options are limited but they plan to add over time. Currently it?s limited to donuts and pastries. The vibe is great.

What a gem! From the staff being super knowledgeable and friendly, to the space being cozy, the coffee felt like such a warm hug. And for the quality you can?t beat it! Def looking forward to stopping by again, and would not be surprised if this is the first of many future locations

Love LVL UP?my new favorite coffee shop :) friendly staff and delicious coffee!! Also a very pleasant environment to do work or hang with friends. Highly recommend!!

Some of best coffee I've had in Chicago. Great blend of flavors and calm space to work. Informative baristas and scrumptious pastries

Great coffee selection! Plus the atmosphere is perfect for working remotely. Highly recommend, but the best part of the whole experience is that parking is free ??

My new favorite coffee shop. Feels so good in here. The baristas are so nice & the Cafe De Olla is delish!

Last Friday, I stumble upon this coffee shop?total hidden gem vibes?and decide to give it a shot. Let me tell you, their L. Dorado specialty coffee? Absolute magic.

Beautiful space for chats, working, and to relax!! Can't wait to be back.

Great experience at this newly open Cafe! Interior boasts of a modern aesthetic. Ran into the owners and they were a delight to talk to. Definitely coming back

This is a new coffee shop in Bronzeville and is absolutely fabulous. The service is spectacular, the staff caring and it?s a light and air space to stay and sip a while.

Even the decaf blew me. It?s rare to find such excellence in every cup.

We had a great experience here! Quick and friendly service, delicious coffee and pastries, what more could you ask for? Will definitely be going back soon.

Cozy vibe, rich coffee flavor and super friendly staff makes this spot a go-to for a mid-day pick-me-up. Definitely recommend it to everyone

Great coffee and pastries, and a very cute aesthetic. Would recommend the L dorado latte and cafe de olla!

This isn?t just coffee?it?s a curated atmosphere and artful living. Stunning interiors, cozy vibes, and thoughtfully selected music set the perfect tone.

I got an iced americano and concha. Both were very good and the vibe was 5 stars. I would definitely recommend if you in the area.

Smooth and rich options for lattes! The Girasol latte I tried was fruity and balanced. The service was excellent!

They take their craft seriously. Every drink is brewed with precision, making it is a true work of art.

It feels like a luxury lounge with a roastery attached. The design exudes elegance at every turn.

Barista is really slow but everything else is great!

Yet another well-deserved, five-star review... There's not much I can add concerning the skillful products offered here, nor the unexpected warmth and professionalism of the staff. However, I do want to say that it's wonderful to see an entrepreneur, whose concept and product clearly could survive anywhere, select Bronzeville as the community of choice. Thank you for your faith in the South Side, and for helping to strengthen this community's fabric. Places like this, rare as they may be, have an unqu
