Best coffee in the area. Something about the coffee, when drinking it in the cafe hits just right that it keeps making me return.

hands down the best coffee in the area. Way more than you think - they make their own sourdough, source local ingredients, have high expectations of the quality of their espresso based beverages. They're the real deal and we are lucky to have them in the western suburbs. :)

Came here again to study as they have a good spot for coffee and seating. Was not disappointed, the coffee was great and there were many unique seasonal flavors! There is also ample seating with chargers to study. Then kitchen was closed but I got the fresh made muffin which was really good with my mocha latte!

As someone who is new to the area, I was so happy to find this cute cafe! I must add, the staff a conscious effort to make everyone who walks through the door feel welcomed. And it's also a very family friendly place! The art on the walls is an added bonus. I've gotten amazing matcha lattes with oat milk here (both iced & hot), as well as the local kombucha in the front fridge (also so good). I wish there were more vegan options, but for what it is-- I'm very impressed and pleased with this cafe.

Just dropping in to say that you absolutely need to try the Choco-Chimp from their spring menu. It is an absolute hit!

The most quintessential coffee shop! Such a lovely environment to work remotely, catch up with a friend, or people-watch while enjoying a fantastic cup of coffee. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a smile, and it made for a very welcoming ambiance. I had the seasonal Sage & Cinder latte with oat milk, and the friendly barista accompanied my half sweet, extra foam requests. It was simply delicious. There is ample seating with smaller tables up front, comfortable arm chairs, and larger tables near the back. They offer a variety of small lunch menu items that also accommodate for vegetarians and vegans. Love!

Fun coffee shop in West Chicago. It looks small from the outside, but is actually very big inside. They have children's books you can sift through, and great tables for getting work done. They also have a nice outdoor area. The barista was friendly and helpful while taking our order. Unfortunately all of the breakfast pastries were sold out, but they did have a few gluten free dessert items left. However this was to be expected as it was a Saturday afternoon. I ordered an iced carmel latte with oat milk. It was very tasty and was ready very fast. I am excited to visit back to try a pastry soon!
