The bagel was perfectly toasted. The elote cream cheese you need a little bit more than they give but less than 2 containers. The spread has a kick too it and corn in it... Delicious. A few tables, couch area, and bar stools. Filtered water option for free. Paid street or lot parking. Beautiful art inside and has a nice chill vibe. I also saw that they do yoga on the roof with feea and sign up... I would check them out again but I wish they had a little more outside seating on the first level. Maybe next time I'll try the roof but my knees weren't working today.

It's nice to see a local business in Oak Park prospering especially when it seems to be so difficult to stay afloat. Check them out!

I see this place and decide to check it out. First, it's very busy . It's about 11am on a Saturday so kind of expected. It's very small in the inside so probably not a spot for a group larger than 3 or 4. Seating is limited although they do have some outside seating. They will bring your order to you even if you sit outside which is nice. First sip, solid latte. I got the salted caramel , iced. It could've had more caramel but that's just a preference . I also got the gusto waffle , delicious. Mind you I don't love waffles like that but I would def get it again. Fingers crossed I get this appt so that I can come here more.

I was struck by how busy this coffee shop was mid morning, clearly no matter what time of morning it is, Whirlwind is the place to be. Many folks were catching up and working remotely in their bright and cozy cafe. Allow for about 10 -15 minutes between parking and waiting in line. Despite the rush service was great, and I was excited to try their seasonal blackberry drink, The Bear Hug. Unlike many lattes, you could taste the coffee, but there was plenty of blackberry flavor as well. I opted to go without the whipped cream that is also offered.

My sister got a coconut milk elderberry drink with popping boba and loved it, my mom got a chai, my brother had a plain black cold brew, my dad had an iced black tea. We all loved what we ordered!

It was perfect for a quick bite. There were amazing baked goods on display and we chose the kale salad scone, rosemary apricot scone, and pimento biscuit sandwich. All baked goods are beautiful and generously sized. All were delicious and unique. The cafe also has a full compliment of coffee drinks, but as it was a hot day we chose iced tea. I had an Arnold Palmer. There is self serve water as well. The selection is limited to baked goods only. We didn't try the cookies or cakes, but they looked amazing. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating in a small area surrounding potted plants making for an inviting setting with limited space. The staff are efficient and calm. If there is a line, as we were told there usually is, it moves quickly. I recommend this spot for a sweet or savory bite.

When I entered there was no one there but the owner. I decided to order Bodega Combo #3 with an upgrade to a Horchata. I was told there were no Columbian empanadas (Bodega combo # 2) so that is what led me to order the other. I swear it took the owner 15 - 20 minutes to make both the empanadas and horchata. The empanadas were frozen, not fresh, and placed in an air fryer. The drink made had tons of ice and just as much cinnamon. Personally, there was no balance. I did not enjoy it. The empanada choices: are spinach & artichoke, chicken, and vegetarian. The best was the vegetarian, then the chicken followed by the spinach and artichoke. In my honest opinion, for an $11.50 meal, you would have been better off grabbing a $3 bag of tostinos pizza rolls and coke from the dollar tree and being more filled and satisfied. I was not impressed and I honestly believe that the space has so much more potential to draw in a larger crowd if the food choices were improved.

If you value basic human courtesy and professionalism, avoid this place entirely. From the moment I walked in, I should have known better. I stood by the counter for a good minute, completely ignored by the single barista who was supposedly running the show. There was no greeting, no eye contact, not even a simple nod to acknowledge my presence. After a couple of minutes of studying the menu and deciding on my order, I politely tried to initiate the transaction. I looked at the barista--who was doing something behind the register--and asked, "Are you ready to take my order?" His actual, unfiltered response was, "I'm here, ain't I?" That was it. That was the entirety of my first and, I guarantee, last interaction with Vigo Coffee Shop. This shocking display of contempt and piss-poor customer service set the tone immediately. I was so taken aback by the sheer rudeness that I simply walked out. A coffee shop's product might be decent, but if the staff treats paying customers with such disdain, it doesn't matter how good the latte is. My first impression was one of absolute indifference and insolence, and it's enough to ensure I will never waste my time or money here again. Save yourself the trouble and the unnecessary frustration. Take your business elsewhere.
