Caffe Umbria

Closest thing to a European cafe as I’ve come across in Chicago. Espresso is good. A tad acidic but best I’ve found. It is served properly! With a small sweet (chocolate) and a small glass of water. Just like the old country. I will be back!! (And yes the seating is a bit broken up but again nothing unusual about that in European tight spaces. Highly recommended.

The coffee is made from freshly roasted beans. The cafe smells like coffee all over. They offer plenty of food options too. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Great place to grab a coffee and a pastry! The espresso was very rich, very good for the price. Definitely recommend the croissants, they are as wonderful as they look! I also got the Honey Oatmilk Latte, it was delicious! We enjoyed it so much our first day, that we came back our second morning we were there!

Great coffee. Definitely more of a modern coffee shop that is more focused on late type drinks. But I ordered an espresso and it was excellently dialed in! Would recommend for the true coffee lover

I’ve been coming here whenever I’m in town! Really nice coffee with good seasonal flavors and speciality drinks. I have tried Mayan inspired latte and Patonette latte. Great service too! They gave me a free drink coupon because I waited for 15 minutes. Definitely will be back next time soon!

Pretty small cafe right next to the river. They have some high chairs inside and two or three more tables outside, but overall, this is a grab and go kind of cafe because they are very limited seats. Got the ice vanilla latte, and it was really good. I could tell that the coffee was really high-quality. They also have a lot of coffee on display that you can buy. Overall, a great spot to grab a quick coffee imo.

We got the brown sugar cinnamon latte and a matcha with honey syrup instead of their regular syrup. Highly recommend! We saw that their regular matcha can be too sweet, so this honey syrup was perfect for me! The matcha and coffee both have great depth

Caffe Umbria was exactly what I needed that morning. It was cold, wet and I wanted something hot, simple as that. Small and cozy spot. The kind of place where you slow down without trying. The staff was genuinely nice too. Asked how my day was and even recommended couple of pastries. I ordered a hot chocolate with an almond blueberry financier. The hot chocolate was honestly perfect. Rich but not heavy. You get that dark chocolate hit first, then it smooths out. Creamy. Warm in the right way. The financier was great. Nutty from the almonds, little bursts of blueberry, soft but not mushy. I dipped it into the hot chocolate (had to), and yeah… even better. No regrets there. It’s a small place, but if you get there early, you might grab a seat with a really nice city view. Worth it. I’ll definitely be back. Especially now that I know there’s a solid hot chocolate spot right nearby.

The lattes here are amazing!! I really love their flavored syrups as well. There are a few tables in the building lobby, but not a lot of space otherwise. Love the Friday special — free drink when you buy a bag of coffee beans!
