Grand Opening Weekend!

#chicagoweekend #lincolnpark #chicagocoffeeshops #coffeeshop #chicagofoodie

6/5 Edited to

Visiting Paper Tiger during their grand opening weekend was an absolute delight. Located right across from EXIT Oz Park in Lincoln Park, this coffee shop brings a fresh vibe and inventive drink menu that truly stands out among Chicago coffee spots. What really impressed me was their dedication to house-made syrups — the Lavender Lemon Latte, with its gently expressed lemon peel, offered a unique floral and citrus twist that was refreshing without being overpowering. Another standout was the Hazelnut Orange Latte. While I found the expressed orange peel a bit bitter for my taste, the combination of hazelnut and citrus was an exciting flavor profile that coffee lovers seeking something different should definitely try. For those who prefer a caffeine-free option, Paper Tiger’s "All Hiss No Bite" hot chocolate blends smooth, comforting flavors perfectly. Beyond the drinks, their pastry selection — including banana bread, croissants, and pain au chocolat — complemented the beverages beautifully, making it a great spot for brunch or an afternoon treat. The attention to detail in both flavors and presentation enriches the overall coffee shop experience. For anyone exploring Chicago’s vibrant coffee scene, especially in Lincoln Park, Paper Tiger offers a must-visit destination. Their focus on quality ingredients and innovative syrups brings something refreshing and unique, perfect for foodies and coffee enthusiasts alike. Don’t miss out on trying their Matcha Cloud Frozen drink if you’re looking for a cool, creamy pick-me-up!
