"A lovely coffee shop serving good drinks and some lovely pastries. I enjoyed the mocha; it had a good touch of chocolate and complemented the coffee. I also liked the texture of the dark chocolate banana pistachio scone. It had a nice crust with a nice crumbly body."

"This place has such a personal touch. I love all of their seasonal drinks like this summer Okinawa blueberry latte, and also love their classic coffee offerings. They sell flowers right now too, I got this handmade bouquet for a friend and the entire presentation felt special and beautiful. We love it!"

"Excellent pour overs, seasonal lattes and homemade bagels. Yes, bagels. Which are my new favorite bagels in the city. Just try it! (No photo cause everything was too tasty to wait.) Also the Jazz Age playlist was just a lovely, whimsical touch."

"Bae is our favorite coffee shop in Chicago! I’m not a huge coffee girl, so I love to see so many tea & tea latte options on the menu! The disco tea was amazing I highly recommend. My husband loves coffee and says that Bae serves the best of the best! The pastries are delicious as well, staff is incredibly friendly and kind, and the aesthetic is beautiful to take pictures and relax in the city. 💕✨"

"This place is so cute, reasonable pricing, latte was delicious. But how are you going to serve caffeinated drinks and not allow customers to use the toilet? 😅 I’m actually not even sure that’s legal in IL- as far as I know, businesses are obligated to let customers use it for medical reasons, and they can’t ask why. So minus one star there. Great place but keep in mind you may be doing the fun run to Mariano’s, so not the best for elderly, kids, or anyone with a medical issue."
