Sawada Coffee sits in Fulton Market District, part of the Hogsalt hospitality group, which also runs a slate of Chicago restaurants and bars. The space leans into design as much as drink, with a look that regulars point to as part of the draw.
Espresso is the calling card here, and it shows up consistently across feedback. The menu also includes a matcha drink strong enough to split opinion — some come back for it specifically, others find it too intense.
Despite sitting a bit off the main strip, the shop has built a following that treats the location less as a drawback and more as a discovery, with lines forming at peak hours.
