Move Along Coffee

Amazing coffee, delicious pastries, and truly the nicest staff. The owner always takes the time to chat with everyone who stops by, asking about your day or plans and offering great recommendations on what’s happening around the neighborhood. It makes every visit feel genuinely welcoming and personal. A particularly thoughtful touch: they have biscuits for dogs who wait in line with you, which is such a sweet detail and very much appreciated. The tea selection also looks excellent, and they carry a few different dairy-free milk alternatives. A wonderful neighborhood coffee shop that absolutely deserves a 5⭐️ review - highly recommend!

This place is everything people say it is. The guy who works there is super friendly and fun to talk with, the coffee is special, and the pastries are great. I haven't eaten my Korean BBQ Danish yet, but the donuts I got have me believing this is now the best donut in Chicago. Not since the original Do-Rite on Randolph & Dearborn closed and they became a chain has anyone been the best. Donut Vault was close, as were others, but Move Along is special. Sadly, I ate two donuts, but they're so rich, I should've eaten one. Take a bite, have a sip of coffee, repeat. The Korean BBQ Danish will be my lunch, but I'm going to need to put it in an air-tight container, because the smell is driving me nuts and I'm already full. I go by this place regularly, and there is always a line, so expect to wait to get served through the window.

The staff was very friendly and conversational on the crispy + how the day has been going in general. Very mindful, very cozy. The ube salted coconut crispy is delicious! Will definitely have to linger around more next time.

Cute walk up window with solid coffee from gaslight and unique pastries on offer. Variety for drinks is fairly standard with some unique seasonal offerings. The quality was top notch in what we got. Staff were very friendly, especially for it being a slow and cold day. Definitely worth stopping in if you're nearby.

Omg, I love this place- we drive 20mins from the north side, just to come here! The coffee and pastries are always AMAZING, every visit it feels like it gets better and better! Most of the pastries are vegan which I love, I don’t strictly eat vegan and I can easily say they have some of the best donuts/pastries ’ve had in Chicago!

Incredible coffee, incredible pastry. Stopped by for the interesting walk up storefront, stayed (maybe overstayed) for a conversation with the owner that made our day brighter. Ian is the owner and has such a warm energy that makes you feel like you're ordering a latte from a lifelong friend. Is that silly to say for a coffee shop? Perhaps. But this experience, quality, and care is what will have me coming back. May have just found a new favorite coffee shop.

Incredible iced nutty lavender latte. Also, we got the sesame pretzel croissant and the Korean bbq Danish. Holy Toledo…so flaky, so special and made with love. Dare I say, some of the best pastries I’ve ever had. Great service and enjoyed a chat with the barista.
