exploring chicago’s coffee scene, one cuppa at a time.

@cuppachicago is my coffee instagram. founded in 2019, i started this as a way to explore the city outside of my usual neighborhood. since its creation, i’ve visited 210+ chicago coffee shops, planned and hosted 4 city-wide coffee crawls, partnered with national brands like peet’s coffee and TAZO, and connected with shops owners, baristas and staff who make up our incredible coffee community. i was voted chicago reader’s ‘best chicago instagram to follow’ in 2022, and a finalist in 2024!
