“Such a pretty place and the interior is really well done. Free WiFi and charging stations in some areas. Super clean and modern. Food and drinks. Wait staff and no waitresses tables too. Optional. Great peaceful place to read a book. Free water in glass cups. Outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly staff.”
“Relaxed place for happy hour and quick bites downtown. Coffee is great but the drinks are better.”
“A killer spot to plug in for a minute if you’re downtown. Their menu is unique and thier Grandpa Irv Old Fashion (cap drink) is unreal.”
“The fire roasted chicken melt was recommended to me by the staff and although it was tasty, it did have an odd smell to it that I couldn’t quite get past. I did enjoy sitting in the dining area as it was very pleasant and appealing. I may revisit for their matcha latte.”
“Great place to grab a sandwich or salad during the workday. You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating so you don’t have to do takeaway. You can sit and enjoy your food in a bright feeling space. The servers were fantastic. The food was more utilitarian than extraordinary, but that’s not a bad thing. You’ll have a good meal and you can carry on about your day.”
“Changed my route to the office this morning and decided to pop in here because there was no lines = no waiting - big mistake! There was literally one person ahead of me in line for coffee - it took a while for them to take our orders, but they have a mobile ordering system, so maybe they were working on something. 10 minutes later for a latte for the lady ahead of me and a mocha for myself - and it tasted just like any other coffee joint and was definitely $2+ than the joint in 1 S Wacker. The space was trendy and cool and if you’re not in a rush or you think 10-minutes for a coffee is acceptable, by all means give this place a shot. Will probably try again for a sit down lunch, but avoid for your morning coffee rush if you have a 9a meeting.”
“I LOVE KINSLEY! Their happy hour deals are great. The cocktails are always poured strong. Staff is very friendly and kind. Their seating is very comfortable regardless of where you sit and the decor is very aesthetically pleasing. No complaints!”
“Breakfast here is excellent, wholesome, and perfect to start the day. The menu has good variety, and everything is prepared quickly without compromising quality. Ideal for busy mornings, with neat packaging and efficient service for a smooth grab-and-go experience.”
“We got a chai tea and a peach white tea. Both were very delicious and the server was very friendly. I loved the decorations and vibes of the place.”
“Coffee was exceptional. Service was great. The perfect spot for a morning meeting in downtown Chicago.”
