I loved going to this place after work for a cocktail or two after work. Maybe it's just my luck but lately, every time I go by around 5-6, they are always closed.

Fantastic coffee! Tons of options for milk alternatives. Oat milk vanilla latte is my go to.

This place is missing the cookies and oatmeal that has made it famous in D.C & New York, this Chicago location isn't worth my time.

The barista recommended the mocha because they make their own ganache. So I also got a chocolate croissant, figuring they would go well together and more chocolate is better. (No stuffed cookies available.) The chocolate is very nice. Both the mocha and the croissant have a strong semisweet chocolate flavor, and there are no artificial/off tastes. The latte is pretty tasty (no burnt bean taste), and easily drinkable, but not great. The foam is stiff, there's no micro-foam transition, and the chocolate flavor overwhelms the coffee flavor. Still, it is head and shoulders above any ubiquitous chain. The story is similar with the croissant; wonderful chocolate flavor on top of and inside a pale, not flaky, somewhat squishy, minimal flavor croissant.

Great coffee shop/bar. Coffee is delicious. Asked for an extra hot coffee and it was made to order appropriately. Pleasant atmosphere. Expensive coffee but expected given loop location.

This is one of that Chicago-architectural style, high loft, modernly decorated, spacious yet very cozy coffee shops. They serve general coffee menu, grab-n-go lunch box, and made to order meals. The first time I came here I stayed over 5 hours finishing some work and did not feel I need to move to another place for a new environment, that's how much I liked this place! It's definitely a business meeting gathering place and you will run into many working professionals, which really motivates you to do your work somehow. I think this is a great place to grab a quick bite, meeting friends, or finishing your work!

My favorite coffee shop in Chicago! Not only are the coffees sublime (Cortado all the way) but the Nutella bites are the highlight of my day!!! I love them!

Lovely well made mocha latte but not so friendly vibe ok in a sterile office like vibe. Not worth the hike. Did not see any evidence of this being a roaster as posted on Yelp.

I was in Chicago for a work trip and I was in the mood for a really good cup of coffee. So I pulled up the handy dandy Yelp app to help me search for coffee in the area. After a quick Yelp search I was torn between 2 different coffee shops and ultimately ended up choosing For Five Chicago solely because of the reviews (BEST DECISION). Thanks to the pictures someone else posted I was easily able to find the shop. I got a Vanilla Oat Milk Latte (not a cheap choice ). And OH MY GOSH this is the best cup of coffee I've had in a really long time. The coffee comes to you at the perfect drinking temperature, the vanilla just adds a nice touch of sweetness, perfectly foamed, and more importantly it was like drinking silky goodness. I got the coffee to go and brought it up to my hotel room. I was able to enjoy the Chicago View with an amazing cup of coffee from my warm hotel room!

I found out there's two locations. We went to the one on Adams st inside the Convene Building. There's no signs on the outside so just come in past the lobby and you'll be at For Five. The baristas were so sweet, kind, friendly and knowledgeable. My wife had a "Five" who's was fantastic and I had a Cortado which was also great! She had a stuffed cookie, rainbow cookie dough, which she said was even better than it sounded. It's a quiet place where you can work, read, eat, have coffee, or whatever and just enjo

I had the ham and cheese croissant and was not disappointed. It was incredible, as was the pour over. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Going here involved walking past several coffee shops, I chose this because of Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Simply got a While Milk Latte, served slightly cool. The guy nailed the temperature and the coffee was really good, very happy that I made the walk.

Visiting Chicago for the weekend, and I decided to stop by this coffee shop to pass some time. So glad I did! Wonderful ambiance, employees are super nice, and their coffee is amazing! I got their vanilla latte with oat milk and it is one of the best I had I in awhile. I'm so glad I stopped by!
