Jessica WeissJune 30, 2015Really cute coffee shop with lots of nerdy charm to it. Has lots of video game memorabilia and an old school vibe. Interesting coffee flavors too! Try the honeybear latte.
This place is wonderfully decorated like the ceiling has a portal linked to the 80s dropping knickknacks everywhere. The coffee is also excellent. The wifi password is printed on the floppy disks.
jesse whitmoreJune 30, 2015Lattes are awesome, made to look awesome, and while you wait, look around, the atmosphere is awesome. I love this place. Don't forget to tip! They deserve it for being so awesome :)

KinoAugust 19, 2017The Wormhole is now my favorite coffee shop in the world! It'll bring you back to your childhood days w/ the 1980s nostalgia decor. Kid friendly w/ an NES. Koopa Troopa & Cool But Rude were delicious!
Michael MorganMay 17, 2021Love this place! The vibe of it is so eclectic and unique compared to most modern styled coffee shops. Their seasonal drinks were also very interesting. I ordered the Cool But Rude and it was amazing
- KaitlinMay 4, 2018Check out the DeLorean while enjoying a Koopa Troopa latte! Simultaneously an amazing coffee shop (legit roasting operation, skilled baristas, cool signature drinks) and nerd paradise.
VAugust 4, 2015One of the best places for coffee at Chicago. My current favorite is iced Homemade vanilla bean. Always super crowded and not enough places to all people . Works until late nights.
- AmberJuly 11, 2016Their non-coffee drinks are big winners here. I highly encourage you to try the cruel summer if it's available - refreshing, unique, and still highly caffeinated ;) Bonus points for the DeLorean.
Tyler ChartierAugust 8, 2016Great vibes in the one of kind cafe for comic book and 80's movie lovers. Also great coffee. Barista was sassy which is kinda great. Not the best for work but great to meet up with people. Wifi
Heitor Tashiro SergentJanuary 20, 2015The decoration is truly amazing, and a geek's paradise. From the walls, to the R2D2 mugs, to the not-so-hidden time machine, all the way up to the hanging menu. Just keep in mind it's really crowded.
Maike PlotnikApril 17, 2016Coffee tastes good .. Really hipster-like but a good atmosphere though.go strait on up to the right corner and play the REAL Tetris like back in the 90s ;)
Erik RowleySeptember 29, 2015The greatest coffee shop I've ever come across! All of my childhood fantasies with my favorite caffeinated adult beverage, free wifi, and they built a time machine out of a Delorean!
Busy on weekends (making it less than ideal for work.) But delicious drinks and fresh brewed coffee are well worth it. A must visit Chicago coffee shop.
John O'FranceNovember 12, 2016The Latte is just delicious, as well as the almond croissant, filled with frangipane-like stuff.I'm French,maybe that adds a point for the croissant ? :D
Hit up this coffeeshop in the WIcker Park neighborhood. Get the peanut butter flavored coffee. Lot's of sci-fi stuff throughout including a DeLorean in front. Yeay to Back to the Future!
Yamilet CortésJanuary 27, 2016"Superb coffee, roasted by the best artisans in the bean community "... This is so true, Try the Vanilla latte and Chai te!
Casey VickersAugust 24, 2011The wonderful coffee is enough of a reason to go, the Nintendo is amazing good fun, even if you're awful (like me). The coffee shop is a hike for the loop and a pain from the red line but worth it.
Robbie SironJuly 1, 2016The vibe here is amazing. Guest espressos make for a community atmosphere. Plus, the nerdy decor and the DeLorean are on point.- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014The Wormhole is great to study in because it has large tables, free wifi, great music and coffee. The '80s theme is more unique than the average coffee shop.
Make sure to walk around and look at all the fun artifacts of the 80s and 90s they've filled the place with.
Find a CofficeJune 24, 2013Work alongside a DeLorean and in sci-fi heaven, with a Koopa Troopa coffee alongside for the ride. A comfy place to crank out some work in the Wicker Park neighborhood. (via @elatlboy) Read more
Tracee KlineMarch 20, 2024Unquestionably, the best coffee shop in the area! I’m so thankful that finally, I was able to find this spot for some good coffee just in time.
Aubre Andrus LLCAugust 28, 2012This. Place. Is. Awesome. Not much for food BUT here's what they do have: original Nintendo, my favorite 80s movie posters, Star Wars merch, a DeLorean, and obviously free wi-fi.
Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011This time-travel-themed (it has a DeLorean in the front) coffee shop has a small selection of baked goods from Fritz Pastry, Cheerios and other assorted cereals; and talented baristas.
Josh SciannaOctober 3, 2017Chill environment with a nice retro theme. Their drip coffee is on point and they make a good vanilla latte as well.- John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018Nerdy little coffee shop, plenty of room. A must visit if you're visiting Chicago, especially if you're e a child of the 80's.
- Abril VelaMarch 4, 2016The honey bear latte is my go to drink, I absolutely love it. It's a must try if you're not sure what to get.
ben mNovember 6, 2014Great coffee, friendly staff, free wifi. Only drawback is it can get really crowded so seats can be tough to come by.
Fallon LeybaJuly 26, 2023I know the miso caramel black sesame latte is scary but it is SO good dude just try it
Matt AndersenJuly 8, 2015Great atmosphere to try some of their hand crafted coffee treats... in one sitting.

SweetCaroline NewmanApril 20, 2013This place is crowded, but definitely worth getting your drink "for here" and doing some people watching. Lots if nerd memorabilia to check out, too!!- Hit up this coffeeshop in the WIcker Park neighborhood. Get the peanut butter flavored coffee. Lot's of sci-fi stuff throughout including a DeLorean in front. Yeay to Back to the Future!
Great atmosphere to get some work done and/or relax. The baristas are awesome, and they have almond milk.
Serious EatsMay 14, 2013The steady brews here are by Metropolis, but featured roasters, like LA's Handsome Coffee Roasters, regularly fill the extra grinders.- Olivia BarrettJanuary 24, 2014This place is so lovely! Wi-Fi connection is reliable and relatively fast. The rumors about the Delorean are certainly true! It’s the greatest geektopia.
Lucas RepulloAugust 26, 2014Delicious Iced Coffee, Aeropress and Espresso in one of the coolest coffee shops in Chicago.
- lauren barrettOctober 9, 2015The vibe is awesome, besides, what coffee shop do you know that has a Mr. T board game and a throwback Super Nintendo?!
Emily BoltonAugust 25, 2017I'm obsessed with Wormhole. Get the "cool but rude" iced latte (don't get scared about the curry - you'll love it)
Special drinks are amazeballs. Honey latte & peanutbutter chocolate!
Brittany NicoleSeptember 26, 2015Such a cozy spot. I get a lot of work done here. They also have a good selection of teas
Paige KaliskiApril 10, 2016you can play super Mario brothers and other N64 games here which is awesome. solid coffee too
Add 10 minutes to your wait time if the person in line ahead of you is friends with someone who works here. They need time to catch up and chat, and that's more important than customer service, right?
Steph TaylorFebruary 5, 2016This places has a great, super chill vibe. The Honey Bear latte is one of my favorites.
Kellen TerrettAugust 8, 2014Get whatever is on Areopress. They seem to be one of the only places in town brewing this way, and I love it.

"Lattes are to die for. Easily my favorite coffee shop in the city. You can choose a non-dairy milk option at no extra cost. They've also got almond milk, which I tend not to see as often."
Jen Marquez Ginn - 8.9
"Fantastic coffee concoctions, Dolor de Oro if you feel brave, Gingersnap Trainwreck for attitude. There's a plethora of choices if you're hungry, from Do-Rite donuts to gourmet-ish deli sandwiches."
It's A Major Plus - 8.9
"Almond croissant is delish and goes well with the coffee!"
