Dark Matter Coffee - The Mothership Reviews

Absolutely phenomenal! I first had the pleasure of witnessing this awesome creation at a J&L Liquor Lab cold brew coffee tasting kit. Wow, this cold brew is hands down the most awesome coffee I ever had, period.
I tried both the Dark Matter Blanco Jaguar and the Dark Matter Vanilla Suburbs, both had well bodied South American knockout flavors and aromas with a perfect bold and strong bittersweet punch to the tastebuds.
I love the quirky and out the box ethics and vibe from this company which sets it light-years ahead of the market and a pioneer at coffee innovation, the custom and south american inspired can designs are dope I dig!! I would 100% recommend without hesitation and can confirm their products are fantastic and addictive!
Support local businesses!

If you haven't tried Dark Matter coffee, you haven't lived. Best coffee in Chicago. The lattes are worth the wait, and the eagerness I experience each time is never disappointed when my lips meet the first sip. I always manage to buy some type of pastry or breakfast bite and they're always great too.

I made the trip to this coffee shop last time and did not disappoint.
The staff was really helpful. I even got a bag of coffee beans which smells amazing, I cannot wait to taste it.

Dark Matter is killer coffee. What is even better is their cold brew options which are fun and feel experimental, in the good way. They let me taste a couple before committing. Staff are super friendly and dedicated to customer service. I just can't do it too late in the day. :)

Great strong coffee, staff is incredible and nice, best service. Please always play upbeat music! Hearing house music first thing in the morning specifically is always a treat and elevated my mood!
Check out Joe Smooth- Promised Land. That was the track i heard as i left

This place is a whole vibe and my go to coffee spot in Chicago. The coffee is delicious with every sip, the service is friendly and fast. And you don’t want to skip getting an empanada. A must stop whenever you are in the neighborhood or in need of a fresh cup of coffee.

Could use an update on service. First time visiting, I didn't know how to order since there's no overhead menu. The barista was pretty blunt when assisting by pointing out a laminated handout menu.
However, the coffee was pretty good. Finished a 16oz iced latte in about 5 minutes. Couldn't even taste the milk.
Will probably try the location around the corner next time...

Brief visit but had a cool atmosphere and nice variety of coffee. You get a free drip coffee if you buy a bag of beans!

Extra points for sustainable practices
Interestingly decorated coffeeshop with friendly baristas.
That's really great of guys to be able to pour drinks in to-go mugs. But the smallest size they serve is 16 oz, so if your cup is less than that, you will be charged for 16 oz nonetheless (like in our case, we've had two 12 oz cups).
Unfortunately, to my great dismay, I didn't like the coffee. It was too acidic for my taste, and my husband found it quite strong. But it's definitely not a reason to give fewer stars as everyone's taste buds are different, and the service was impeccable.

The espresso was great. It was smooth and sweet and decently priced ($3.50). They had plenty to offer like mugs, coffee beans, and clothing just to name a few of the many things offered. Would love to make a trip back here and try their other offerings!

If you're looking for vibes, this is the spot. A bit of a darker bitter roast but I think that's still tasty. I tried the black magic iced and it was fantastic.
If the weather was better I would have loved to kill some time in their outside seating.
