Came a long way for this one. Its a very unique cafe, definitely never seen anything like it. It has a great theme and I think its cool how they sell the coffee out of the food truck inside of a building. My only disappointment was that there arent many options for none coffee drinkers.

Tried this place just because I saw the name on Google maps and thought it looked fun. For being where it is in a quiet industrial district, it’s a hidden gem and seems to be doing well. The service was great and the prices are low for the city.

The coffee and the menu are both delicious! We ordered a cappuccino and a donut this morning. The employees and staff were all very helpful. The atmosphere was fantastic! The eyes were comfortable, calm, and appealing. This cafe comes highly recommended! Ill be back here really soon.

This is such a lovely spot for a cup of coffee. This well-deserved location has earned more than five-star ratings. Everything from their workers to their interior designs to their services was outstanding. A place to return to time and again for more and more. I wholeheartedly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

What a beautiful spot to visit! I will undoubtedly return! To be honest, I was a happy customer because of the good and nutritious coffee and foods I had for breakfast. Aside from that, Id like to express my gratitude to the waiter who delivered my order in a timely and professional manner. I found that the place was tidy, stylish, and quiet after just a few hours there. In the end, it was a perfect place to study and relax. Thank you so much!

I love their coffee and espresso, but every time I try to go theyre closed. Five stars if they were open longer and I could actually go there and enjoy their coffee.

This is such a cool place! The coffee bar itself is inside a food truck! The menu is creative and inventive! I had a seasonal special-The Mariah Carey. It had such great cranberry flavor with a hint of almond. My husband had the charcoal latte.Both drinks had glitter in them! Who doesn’t love glitter?! The charcoal latte was so well balanced and both drinks were not sweet at all. The food they served wasn’t as inventive. The coffee was killer and we would definitely come back for fancy lattes.

I drove over an hour for their coffee that I first seen on Instagram! I tried the Charcoal Latte as well as the Beat Latte and they were both amazing! And beautifully crafted!

Ok, the best coffee shop, and here I can bring my pet. I have visited this coffee shop many times and have always enjoyed coffee, and the choice of cakes always tempts us. The cat who still gets masses of fuss from other customers is refreshing to be able to take in and then sits comfortably under the table. For all coffee lovers, I highly recommend this place!

Glitter lattes!! What could be better? Really spacious inside and a food truck has been made into the barista bar! The charcoal and the beet latte were amazing and well priced. There is also kambucha on tap!

Came for the glitter coffee and the sweet beet latte but they were out of both. Got a charcoal latte instead and it was luke warm (I think the guy was in training). Drove all the way from the suburbs for this place and was really disappointed to not have a good experience. 3 starts for the environment and atsmophere. Unfortunately the drive is so bad, wouldnt come again.

Review №14

This is the coffee shop to visit if you’re looking for an open space, with a cool design concept, and parking. I tried the seasonal beet oat milk latte. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. However, there was a bit of a wait, being that traffic was picking up and they seemed understaffed.

Review №15

Awesome spot for coffee with a great open floor plan. They have Kombucha on tap, snacks and sandwiches, as well as 3 different coffee roasts. They do everything from classic drip coffee at a reasonable price, to the fancy espressos, americanos, and cappucinos!

Such a neat place. A food truck permanently parked in a business building. Good selection of coffee offering three different brands. The small bites are limited, but the ricotta bialy was excellent. Very friendly place.The big friendly dog roaming the place is cool too.

Tasty lattes. Be sure to ask for glitter if youd like some extra sparkle to your day!

Review №20

Cool space with friendly staff who were happy to explain the weird specialty lattes to me (beet and charcoal? With edible glitter? Needed more info).Theres minimal food/pastries, but a full espresso spread and kombucha on tap. The coffee bar is in a hollowed out old truck, and there is plenty of seating (table, couch and counter).

Review №21

Open space with cozy seating. Went on a Saturday morning and it was relatively quiet, which was nice. Theres free WiFi and pleasing music at a comfortable volume. The charcoal latte was pretty and the lavender flavor was not too strong or overpowering. The parking has no time limit or restrictions on weekends!

Review №22

This place is as hipster as it gets. I came in because a friend really wanted to try the glitter latte they saw on a Facebook video. Now Im all for trends but this place is super in the middle of nowhere and doesnt take cash. Secondly, when we got there the women working didnt know anything about said glitter latte. Cant blame her for that at all, maybe we got the place wrong. We get our drinks and sit down, a chai latte and a matcha one. Nothing wrong with either, mine was just more milk & sugar than anything else. Then we look up the glitter latte to make sure and it is, in fact, this restaurant. I understand that with new trends all the staff may not know about them or be able to keep up but its not a good business idea to promote a drink and then be unable to make it. The atmosphere was nice and it seemed to be attached to an apartment complex of some sort. The wifi was also free and fast. Not a bad place to study if you live nearby and it is out there. Overall I wouldnt choose this place over any other in Chicago. It just seemed very lackluster and trying to captilize on a trend but failing to do so.

Loved the charcoal coffee. Kind of a hidden spot and can be a little pricy, but enjoyable. Also they put sparkles in the coffee, if you’re into that. Instagram worthy place for sure

Modern space with hip aesthetic and friendly staff. The sweetbeet latte looked great but I was underwhelmed with the flavor, although I enjoyed the rose touch.The charcoal latte definitely met the expectstions and I appreciated that you can actually taste a hint of charcoal in it.

Review №29

The drinks were alright. I saw pictures on Instagram and was immediately hooked on the charcoal latte because it looks so beautiful (all black with glitter.) But then when I got there this Monday I was slightly disappointed. The charcoal latte tastes ok (majority of the taste is lavender, can’t really taste a lot of coffee in it I don’t think.) But the main reason I was disappointed is that the latte art doesn’t look as nice as I saw on Instagram:( I feel like the barista that did my drinks that day weren’t so good, either that or she just didn’t really care enough to make it look pretty. I might go try again to see if the drinks look any better, if it’s still going to be the same I probably won’t go here anymore.

I came across Werewolf coffee on Instagram such a cool and different take on coffee. I was a bit iffy about the glitter in my coffee but you couldnt even taste it and it made for some great insta pics just like I had seen.

Trendy, well thought-out business, and their coffee is great! I got some crazy colored coffee (I just asked the dude behind the counter to hook me up with whatever is good) and it was next-level. My donut was also nice and warm, and didnt seem like it had been sitting out all day. Love this place!

Review №36

Its a quaint environment. The glitter coffee was beautiful but it did get stuck in our teeth and the charcoal one left our tongues black. There was also a guy outside in a booth that said I had to pay $10 for parking and then didnt charge half the other people to park. That part seemed shady. But the coffee place has good vibes. Its worth checking out.

Review №37

Great vibes for just chilling. Good coffee. Open space with lots of natural lighting. Could use some greenery. Nice staff, clean space. Instagram-able charcoal latte (glitter included) and its actually delicious (heavy on the lavender flavor, but good). Worth checking out and theres parking.

It might be great coffee but didnt get a chance to enjoy it. I just parked and I was instantly asked to pay for the parking by the valet. I think it is some kind of joke. Its not the street, its not a parking lot. Is this area to access the local businesses. I will not support that. Im sorry, that I couldnt give it more than two stars, because it sounds like a great place. Ill be happy to come back when they clear up there parking mess, and review properly.

The coffee here is both delicious and visually pleasing. My Sweet Beet Latte looked stunning! There are some snacks available as well (like parfait and bagels). The baristas were friendly and answered all my questions.Please be aware that the working hours currently shown on Google Maps are incorrect: they work until 3pm Monday-Friday and are closed on Sundays.

Possibly the best latte in the city and its a tough race. Amazing baked goods, try the cinnamon roll! Marvel at the wonder of the sparkle glitter lattes!

Review №43

I am slightly confused as to what exactly this place does. I tried to order a sandwich and then they proceeded to tell me that the sandwich only had bacon and cheese on it and someone forgot to put the eggs on it that morning. So I was obligated to now get a bagel. They handed me the bagel and told me the slicer and toaster was in the corner and I would have to do it myself. The toaster is now smoking. I am not sure why you sell things that people have to slice and cook themselves. The kid at the register was playing on his phone, the least they can do is toast a customers bagel.

Review №44

A nice coffee shop with a quiet and welcoming ambiance tucked away on Elston. Parking is limited and dont be intimidated by the valet, youre not obligated to use him if you can find a spot. They made a great latte, had an impressive selection of cold brews from distributors like Metric Coffee and a limited pastry selection. A great place to stop and grab a cold brew or get some quiet time to study or work.

Spartan interior with an adorable truck inside which acts as the coffee bar and order counter. Fun cafe drinks (eg charcoal latte, matcha) and limited, but delicious pastries and sandwiches. Great service. Check out Local Foods on Willow when youre in the neighborhood.Cons: Parking is nearly impossible and hours are very limited.

Review №68

Good coffee and fair coffee prices. Free, high-speed WiFi. Dont get the breakfast sammie. Its $9 and its basically a Thomasville bagel, a scrambled egg, some melted, nondescript cheese and two slices of thin, greasy bacon. Id pay $4 for it. Maybe $5. Cakepop was spot on and I could have eaten ten.Also, the staff is unfriendly and honestly a little uncomfortable to be around. I dont need a gigantic smile and hug but taking my order would have been nice instead of looking at me oddly as I stood at the counter. It was actually just such an awkward vibe, like we had all smoked a joint and then got memory erased by that MIB machine then ended up in this big empty space, blinking at each other.They seemed to be generally annoyed that customers actually come in to order coffee. I feel bad writing this review as I used to work in the service industry, so I get it. Some days may just be annoying. But all three people in the coffee truck/counter were dreary, flat, and irritated. Anyways - great coffee and cake pops.

The folks at Werewolf have brought latte art to a whole new level. Yes, the drinks are cute but they are also extremely well-crafted. The space is uber-hip with an old food truck repurposed as the service counter.

Really cool kitchen/counter area in an old truck that’s now placed indoors. Not a lot of seating, but good WiFi. Coffee and other drinks were pretty pricey, but given that it’s an office building and the area, not unexpected.

If you want a unique coffee in a casual atmosphere, do not worry, choose Werewolf coffee bar. Spend relaxing time with simple food in a enough space. There is free parking space in front of the cafe. I like the taste of coffee, especially Sweetbeet Latte! Free wi-fi.
