The High Crowd Cafe - Chicago, Illinois

My friend recently moved to Lincoln Park so we decided to check out this cute lil place! We were immediately welcomed by the manager who helped us figure out exactly what we wanted! We both got a drink, a pre-roll, a nerd rope edible, and a blueberry cheesecake. We're both only 1/4 done with our drinks and I've been trying to leave this review for the past 30 minutes.

Looked up this place and was so intrigued to visit! Took the trip and was not disappointed. The service was amazing, Dora was super nice and descriptive about all the menu items and everything offered. I got a purple punch and strawberry cheesecake (not pictured) and everything was great. I will definitely be returning.

Made a quick stop here on my way home from work. The woman who helped me was so kind and efficient. I decided to try the fruity pebbles Rice Krispie treat and it was great. Will definitely return!

Charlotte was awesome, highly recommend this place. I had non infused while waiting for a show at Lincoln Hall and it was delicious.

Great cafe that is also a dispensary. You can have a latte or a london fog plain or infused with THC which makes for a chill afternoon. Great vibes and the sweets are great too. Highly recommend checking them out.

I had the 25mg lemonade - which is somehow the absolute lowest dose you can start with - and it was honestly the most disruptive and horrific experience of my life thus far.

Readers may find this experience disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

After slowly sipping on the lemonade for about an hour and a half and not even finishing the entire drink, by the time I arrived home an hour later, I began to endure what can only be described as the most disorienting mental torture you can voluntarily inflict upon yourself.

I immediately began to feel as if I were going to disappear from this plane of existence, and even existence itself. Fear nested inside me like a parasite with no method of extermination.

If anyone has seen Inception, I had to physically touch my best friend like a totem in order to not feel like I was going to vanish from the universe.

The rest was mental chaos beyond comprehension, from thinking I was traveling into the future to being "trapped in the Papa John's app for over 20 minutes." Physical abilities ceased for a span of time and I had no control over my faculties.

Going to bed was a risk I had no choice but to take. Luckily, the effects had mostly worn off by the time the sun rose, but that was not my best Monday.

This place should be eradicated from the Earth. The dosages are dangerous. The strains are hazardous. And the disclosure they give you upon ordering is deceiving and misleading and flat out false.

I would say proceed with caution but don't proceed unless you wish to terrorize yourself for what seems like an eternity.

I am a regular consumer of drugs including mushrooms. I have seen buildings melt before my very eyes and this was a more horrendously traumatic experience. I'll stick to delta 9 thc, mushrooms, and ecstasy where I feel safe, taken care of, and most importantly, in total control of my LIFE!

Could not recommend The High Crowd more. Been going there for a while and have never had a bad experience! Today, I dropped my drink and they were very accommodating. Best place in the area and LOVE the staff! ❤️

Quite pricey but the flavors of all the goodies and customer service is worth every penny! Tried the Tres Leches and Horchata cupcakes and the strawberry and Nutella cheesecakes- ALL of them were DELICIOUS!
