Reviews For Momentum Coffee - South Loop

I really enjoyed this place overall. The croissant sandwich with feta and spinach was very good and I enjoyed their regular almond croissant. Personally, I appreciated the amount of filling they used but felt the almond extract was a little heavy. My partner loved it though so no complaints. I also got their decaf iced Carmel apple butter latte and my partner got it regular and hot. Idk if it was the decaf or the cold that made mine less appealing than his, but I still drank a lot of it so it couldn't be all bad. I'll give Momentum her flowers. I was able to sit down, loved the music and the vibe, appreciated the service and the bathrooms. No major complaints.

I happen to be in Chicago for the Tastemakers Conference for food bloggers from all over the world. This coffee shop was mentioned and I knew I had to make a plan to visit. Well I am so glad I did. I walked in and the atmosphere was incredible. The staff was friendly and here is the best part. When I arrived and it was my turn to order. As a food blogger I like to let the staff tell me what to try without letting them know what I do and this is what I did. I told her I like sweet iced coffee and she suggested an Iced Caramel Apple Butter Latte with whipped cream and it was fantastic on a scale of 1-10 I give this coffee shop a 12!

This is a south side coffee gem with a solid dirty chai and friendly baristas. It's definitely more of a "get work done" type of spot to grab lunch and take a zoom meeting.

I went this morning while attending a convention in town and I’m happy to come across this gem. The chicken sausage breakfast sandwich is out of this world! The coffee grains they use are of quality resulting in a delicious latter. The staff handled the crowd good and were amicable and inviting. Please bring one to Dallas, TX!!!

The Food came out hop and fresh! I ordered a breakfast sandwich and a lm ice coffee! Out of this world. The bill was only 10. The iced caramel latte is to die for. These ladies were so nice, come shop soon! (South Loop)

This is a very nice low key cafe with delicious coffee. Nice small choices of food and plus delectable pastry options. Definitely worth it! Outdoor patio area. Metered street parking. Not difficult to find a parking spot.

Looking for a local cafe while visiting Chicago. Very nice pick up and go breakfast and coffee. Food and coffee were both very good. We ended up back there each morning for our breakfast and coffees to go. Very long line during our visits. They did move the lines as quick as they possibly could. Great local alternative to the chain Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. Good experience.

This place truly feels like home! Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with a warm smile and called by name. The customer service is outstanding—far better than any Starbucks or Dunkin’. Momentum has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself!
