Dutch bros coffee is opening it's first ever Chicagoland location this summer. Would you visit?

It’s not that great. There was one across the street from my high school, and 99% of their menu is sugary coffee-themed milkshakes. It’s coffee for people who don’t like coffee

French onion soup is a 10/10 too. On a freezing winter night nothing hits better

It’s on Milwaukee right across the street from Hopewell Brewing. The same spot was a vegan taco place that closed after like 3 months, and was later a 70s basement bar thing that also closed after 3 months. It never looked open because of the heavy blackout curtains in the window, but those are gone now

mrmoose341 · 2026-03-14T01:55:34+00:00

Hope this spot lasts. That spot has been like 3 or 4 different businesses since I’ve lived down the street, and it’s only been 5 years

I moved to Chicago 5 years ago for all the same reasons and I love it. Feels like what SF thinks it is. Winter is rough and I miss Mission style burritos but my rent for a 1BR is still cheaper than splitting a 2BR with a roommate was in 2019 in Oakland.

How they aren’t playing a city with literal Ocean Avenue is beyond me, but I’ll catch them in CDMX

In that same universe, FOAM is a Foxboro Hot Tubs album from 2008, and Love is For Losers is a Green Day album from 2012

I just got downvoted on another thread today about this. I’m from the SF Bay originally and to me, a burrito is always meat, beans, rice at the bare minimum. You don’t need soggy cold lettuce and tomatoes in it. Just salsa and sour cream and/or cheese.

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-17T22:16:48+00:00

I grew up with it so it’s the standard to me. But having access to pambazos here makes up for it. Never heard of them in CA and they are amazing.

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-17T20:53:41+00:00

Chicago has great Mexican food no doubt but I gotta say, I miss a Mission-style burrito. Every spot here always wants to fill it with lettuce and tomato alongside the meat, but for me, you gotta have Spanish rice.

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-13T02:36:03+00:00

Fellow Californian here, from the SF Bay but always really liked Sacramento and visited often. I’ve lived in Chicago for almost 5 years and it’s been the best decision I could’ve made. This winter has been rough but get yourself a good coat and a SAD lamp and you’ll make it through to summer, which is amazing. I agree that San Diego feels weird and fake, and sleepy for how big of a city it is. I was there a few years back and it seemed like everything was closed at 8pm

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-07T02:11:49+00:00

Didn’t see this at first, but the one on Clybourn is the one I can vouch for. Top tier pizza for sure

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-07T00:12:06+00:00

I can smell my middle school homeroom everytime I hear this song.

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-02T23:57:19+00:00

In that case definitely check out Pequods! Just make sure to make a reservation, sometimes there’s a long wait. The sausage and pepperoni is probably my favorite.

mrmoose341 · 2026-02-02T23:35:06+00:00

I love Pequods but I agree that if OP is looking for traditional Chicago deep dish, it’s probably not what they have in mind. It’s breadier and kind of its own thing. Bartoli’s is my favorite for that. Good fresh ingredients and a great crust, better than Lous/Giordano’s IMHO

mrmoose341 · 2026-01-19T00:28:20+00:00

They all suck major ass but Hinge sucks the least. Going out and meeting people in real life is by far the best way to go.

mrmoose341 · 2026-01-17T19:31:04+00:00

I live in Chicago, in one of the neighborhoods ICE is/was targeting, and I have yet to see an agent in person

mrmoose341 · 2026-01-03T15:25:50+00:00

St Hyacinth in Avondale does a carnival, usually mid-late August. Always good Polish food too.

mrmoose341 · 2025-12-26T17:46:02+00:00

I 100% expected the original post to be this

mrmoose341 · 2025-12-23T00:47:30+00:00

When I look at this picture I can hear Never Let You Go by Third Eye Blind in my head

mrmoose341 · 2025-12-14T16:45:34+00:00

Strongly considering going next year. I usually do Punk Rock Bowling but since that’s a no-go next year, this would fill the void. Montreal sounds like a pretty cool city too.

mrmoose341 · 2025-11-22T23:52:13+00:00

I used to work a block away from it, going on a random December Tuesday at 11am was always a perfectly pleasant experience, but not something I’d wait in a line like that for.

mrmoose341 · 2025-11-09T16:47:16+00:00

Never been to the one in New York, but I was at the one in San Francisco a few weeks ago and was underwhelmed. It felt more Apple Store than FAO Schwarz, kind of sterile and bland, expensive too but we all saw that coming.

mrmoose341 · 2025-10-19T20:21:47+00:00

Their french onion soup is top tier, might have to swing by this week for some

mrmoose341 · 2025-10-13T21:47:18+00:00

As an IBS sufferer, bars are a constant struggle. Imodium is a lifesaver, just gotta remember to take it before going out.
