    Chappell Roan lattes in East Lakeview

    By Justin Kaufmann,

    Pop star Chappell Roan is having a moment — and now she has a menu.

    The big picture: Roan has inspired summer coffee concoctions at The Coffee & Tea Exchange on Broadway in East Lakeview.


    Driving the (latte) flavors: The coffee shop offers a handful of tantalizing lattes to honor the LGBTQ+ sensation . The "Midwest Princess" ($5.75) with salted honey butter, shortbread and vanilla bean is delicious (and the most popular).

    • The "Wand & A Rabbit" ($4.50) forgoes coffee for a strawberry banana Italian soda, topped with whipped cream and glitter.

    Context: Roan has gone from indie fave to mega-popstar in less than a year. She's playing Lollapalooza , plus an after party show at The Vic.

    The intrigue: The Coffee & Tea Exchange always has fun with special monthly menus , recently offering coffee and tea flavors based on "The Bear."

    Yes, but: Roan's flavors were supposed to be just for Pride month, but because they've been so popular they'll stay up through July.

    • Staff says customers have come from out of state just for the drinks.

    The bottom line: Chappell Roan lattes may not be as fun as Chappell Roan music, but they are definitely worth the sip.

    Plus: I'm always a sucker for pop culture-themed food and drink.

    • I'm cliché, who cares?
