Chicago is the city that showed the world how to work hard, build high and laugh while doing it. And you’re a part of it. Every morning you get up with a renewed determination to make your piece of our great city just a little better.
Big Shoulders Coffee® was created specifically for hard-working Chicagoans like you: a perfectly roasted, no-nonsense brew delivered fast and hot in our signature one-size fits all cup. No fancy lingo required.
Big Shoulders is about giving our customers the cup they need to start (or continue, or finish) their day off right. To that end we offer a choice of four distinctive coffees, all served in a single-size 16 oz. cup.
From time to time Big Shoulders offers limited-time special feature coffees, single-origin from micro coffee producers and/or seasonal blends.
