The Top 74 Coffee Shops in Chicago

The best coffee shops in Chicago, by the professional record: Sprudgie Awards, Time Out, and Punch have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Dayglow comes out on top.

Daisies and Big Shoulders Coffee hold the next two places. Time Out shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The Infatuation close behind.


  1. Pasta and vegetables carry most of the weight here, at this bright, sun-flooded Italian restaurant in Logan Square that holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The house-made pappardelle and rigatoni keep regulars coming back, but the onion dip with house-made ruffles has become a thing people talk about. A bakery tucked in the back means the pastry situation at the end of a meal is genuinely hard to navigate. The bar program turns heads too, a James Beard semifinalist for hospitality.
