"Coffee, Hip-Hop & Mental Health Cafe isn’t just serving up some of the best coffee in town—it’s also making a real impact. As a nonprofit dedicated to mental health advocacy, this shop creates a warm, welcoming space where good coffee meets a great mission. Delicious drinks, friendly vibes, and a purpose you can feel good supporting. Highly recommend."

"I accidentally left my review as a question not a review, but here it goes. I work in nonprofits, focusing on mental health, queer, and disabled communities. Accessibility: No ramp, not wheelchair-friendly. Price: A bit pricey, but profits support youth services. Flavor: Good coffee, including decaf options. Creativity: Cozy space with unique drinks and merch, though the playlist could use more hip hop. Mission: I returned for their mission, mental health is important. If they grow, they need to improve accessibility. And maybe reconsider some drink names. I felts safe here even as a queer person, just know so many people could be missing out on their services not just as a coffee shop but as a non profit because of accessibility. For that is a 4."

"10/15 EDIT - PLEASE READ: This place is amazing because of Nyia, the previous assistant manager - she is so incredibly sweet and kind. But I’ve just found out that unfortunately the owner does NOT pay their workers here. I will not be coming back. I’ve never felt so welcome at a coffee shop before!! The workers here are so so sweet. I got the Rihanna at the Met and Frank Ocean and they are both so good. I think the ice is also made of coffee so it doesn’t dilute over time. Definitely will be back!! The vibes are so good and coffee is definitely the best I’ve had in Chicago so far."

"Bottom line: Great coffee, great mission. Great local shop to support! Been following this concept for a while and it was nice to visit the permanent location! Always love coffee with a side of empowerment. Treat yourself to that raspberry buckeye donut while you're at it."

"I absolutely love this coffee shop and their mission. The service was fantastic, the staff was welcoming and the coffee was delicious "
