"A staple for Chicago area. Especially if here on business or vacation! The coffee is very eclectic and gives you a good taste of Chicago! You know a coffee place is stellar when they rock a good cold brew. The Wake and bake drink was also a perfect balance of coffee and patina. We purchased some Vanilla Suburbs in cans for a home stash. Again, excellent even in cans!"

"For many years, I have only known of Dark Matter coffee as an ingredient in many local bourbon barrel-aged coffee stouts. This is my first time trying their coffee without it being in a beer. Honestly, I could not tell the difference in any blind taste test, but their cappuccino was delicious and satisfying. But their barrel-aged mocha was amazing. I presume they aged their espresso beans in former bourbon barrels. The ba-mocha had hints of bourbon and a nice boozy aftertaste. BRAVO!! Additionally, the decor and ambiance is very pleasing to the eye. A very ecclectic and quaint coffe shop. A must try!!!"

"I got a large latte and sat and read for a while in here, I really liked the decor and atmosphere, good place for reading or sending emails. The workers were very friendly with me and others. Normal prices. I didn't try the pastries but saw them being delivered and they looked good."

"Always glad to have a dark matter within walking distance. Has a lot of good stuff on hand including merchandise, beans, and both pastries and hot items along with their coffee. Decor is nice and I've always liked how each dark matter location feels like it's own unique thing. If you're nearby this is definitely one you should be stopping at!"

"By far my favorite local coffee shop. Not pretentious, amazing staff that know your name, your order, and take care of neighborhood regulars. Best part is that they’re open at 6 am unlike other spots nearby. Molly and the team at Electric Mud are simply the best!!"
