Butter Coffee Trend Hits Chicago; Coffee Shops Take Note

 

WEST TOWN — DNAinfo headed to Ugly Mug Cafe in West Town to try the latest coffee craze: butter coffee.

 

Some athletes have been adding about one or two tablespoons of unsalted, grass-fed butter to their morning java as a way to add "healthy fat" to their diets. While Chicagoans have been trying it out at home, the Ugly Mug folks decided to add a butter latte to their menu. They describe it as "filmy and rich."
