Sawada Coffee — high-caliber cafe in West Loop. Good energy here, especially on weekends. The kind of menu that makes you want to order everything, and fast service. Ryan Rovira-Lanzendorf: "I usually throw shade at chais, but their iced chai is the only one I trust"

“The Tokyo Style makes it sweeter, which I enjoyed, though it does leave a bit of an artificial sweetener aftertaste”
Military latte was a major letdown. Why do people line up for this.

“I walked by this place and they always had line.”
I walked by this place and they always had line. I stopped to try it out and it worth it. I had my latte with oat milk and I did make it Toyota style. Which was light sugar and Carmel salted flavor

One of the coolest at places to grab a coffee and just hang out. Some really good items on the menu that give a really different taste including Tokyo Style. Just a fun, cool place to grab a drink and dessert.

“The military latte is one of a kind and super good.”
The military latte is one of a kind and super good. The building it's in is a really cool joint. Something about mixing great coffee, a bar and smoked meats just works and could be the holy trinity.

“When the line is going out the door on a 15 degree day, you know the coffee is good and worth the wait.”
When the line is going out the door on a 15 degree day, you know the coffee is good and worth the wait. I met up here with a coworker the other day and we were not disappointed. He had a military latte and I had a white mocha cold brew, and we both had the blueberry muffins, which were incredible. Great spot to hang out at and chill for a few hours, and now I know next time I’m back in the area to stop in here!

“If you haven't been to Sawada, what are you even doing? Forget the hype… this place is that good.”
If you haven't been to Sawada, what are you even doing? Forget the hype… this place is that good. I usually throw shade at chais, but their iced chai is the only one I trust; it’s perfectly balanced (zero spicy drama). The blueberry muffin topped with cinnamon sugar is a legit glow-up. 🌟 My partner’s hot latte was also fire. Stop scrolling, start sipping. Your coffee life needs this upgrade.

My husband and I each had a fantastic coffee here and a wonderful pastry (blueberry muffin). I can see why this shop is so highly recommended by a large amount of food and beverage reviewers.

I tried the military latte and it was a flavorful mix of matcha and espresso. The creamy touch of vanilla went really well with the earthy green tea. It was smooth and unique without being too strong. the space felt relaxed and had a cool vibe that made it easy to hang out. I will definitely return for that drink again.

“I loved my iced vanilla oatmilk latte.”
I loved my iced vanilla oatmilk latte! Coffee was delicious and service was great. Lots of seating and very unique atmosphere. The only thing is it smells really strong of meat due to it being connected to a restaurant. The smell was a bit rough for me but ended up not taking away from the great coffee!
