The Chicago Grind is a pillar in the community here. The baristas are cheerful. The espresso is pretty good. I used to spend hours here working on my computer and consuming flourless chocolate cake and double espressos. The owner Tara is a wonderful person who works hard to serve her customers. It's also great if you want to read or catch up with a friend. Edgewater Coffee
I love The Chicago Grind, and it is my go to coffee shop in Lincoln Square. The coffee and food are always great, and the service is top notch. I mean, seriously, can we talk about the service for a minute? The Grind is simply the friendliest and most welcoming coffee shop I have ever had the joy to visit. And everything that I've ever ordered has been fantastic. Coffee, lattes, hot chocolate, iced drinks, baked goods, sandwiches...I have never been disappointed.
