Move Along Coffee

Update 4/25/26: Wow, the donuts here are amazing! I tried three today, wild blueberry caramel corn, raspberry rose, and lemon poppy seed, and every one of them was so good. They’re a nice, generous size but still light and not heavy at all. Also mostly vegan and gluten free. The frosting is really where all the flavor is, it’s bold and super well done, but not piled on or overwhelming. Just enough on top to make each one stand out ~~~~~~~ Great coffee and staff! Always friendly and they make great recommendations. As an aside, I recommend the pretzel croissant. Use the complimentary mustard. Thank me later.

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 coffee shop is SO good. Drinks are made with intention and care and I love they always have local and interesting pastries and doughnuts. I will add there is sometimes a line and wait, but it's absolutely worth it. Plus the owner is cool and makes a point to connect with you and check in about your day. I would go daily if I could. 10 out of 10 every 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.

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.
