Happy Monday Coffee Roasters

Best coffee I’ve had in Chicago in years. The light roast from Tanzania is exquisite. Super friendly owner and nice vibe about the place plus feel-good music (from DJ-like set-up).

This place is a hidden Gem! Only downside… they don’t have a bathroom for customers?

It took us an hour to drive to this location which we chose because we wanted to try the coffee in the bear container. When we get there they told us they don’t have any but continue to charge us $8.75 for a coffee. That price I assume is high simply because they are supposed to provide you with the bear container that you keep. How are you going to charge me for something that you didn’t provide?! If the customer orders the special latte that is priced to provide you with something then there should be a discounted price if you don’t provide that. Music was very loud and could barely have a conversation because of it.

UPDATE: the owner reached out as I requested, so I’m changing this to a 5 star review. Fantastic coffee shop, the owner goes above and beyond for his customers. Original Review: If ownership reaches out after this review I’ll change it to 5 stars… Went in today, I love this place and the guy who is always there is fantastic and so nice. However, there was a younger girl out front this time, I went to the counter and asked if I could get the “drink that comes in a teddy bear”. I think it’s called the thyme drink or something but I didn’t know the name. She said “we don’t have that”. I said “Oh, it was available at this location last Saturday and I got the drink”. She said “well that was last Saturday” with a weird attitude. I literally stood there confused and taken aback with her demeanor. Awkward silence, then she went to the back and I’m assuming asked the owner, and they both came to the front, the owner with the drink and bear mug in hand. She said nothing after during checkout. I walked away and my friend said “what was that all about” confused with her somewhat negative deportment as well. Don’t hire youth to work customer service if they have no customer service skills. It will ruin your business. Otherwise this place is amazing and the coffee is on point. Perfectly balanced, and once again, the owner or guy who always works there is so personable.

This is my FAVORITE coffee shop! I am so excited this is just around the corner from me! Brandon is always so cheerful and brightens my day. It adds an extra pep to the delicious coffee. I always leave smiling and am grateful to have my new go to coffee shop! Thank you Brandon and Happy Monday Coffee Roasters!

Really good coffee place. Do yourself a favor and have their light Ethiopian coffee

Always a good day when Happy Monday is open. I’ve had both their regular drip coffee and their latte, and neither disappointed. Convenient location right in the middle of a “hole” of coffee shops surrounding the area. My only wish is that they were open during the week too, but they do have other locations to go to during the week (and this location is primarily their roasting facility)

Incredible coffee and the flavored drinks are fairly priced, especially since they don’t taste syrupy or artificial. Our barista was amazing and patient too. We’ll be back!
