I've been frequenting Brewpoint-Founders cafe for several years now, and I can confidently say it's my favorite coffee shop. The ambience is unmatched--cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. My husband and I used to live nearby, and some of our favorite memories are walking over on weekends with our pup, grabbing coffee, and sitting out front just enjoying the moment. I recently visited the Elmhurst Craft location for an event and had one of those experiences that just sticks with you. I was chatting with a barista about how much I love (and deeply miss!) the Equinox. She mentioned she was newer and hadn't tried it, but saw it in the recipe book and agreed it sounded amazing--which, for the record, it absolutely is (or was ). A little while later, she came running up to me asking if I was the one talking about the Equinox. When I said yes, she surprised me with an Equinox sticker she had dug up. Such a small, simple gesture--but it genuinely meant so much and made my entire night. To the Brewpoint leadership team: that moment alone earned my loyalty for life. Customer service like that is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. I didn't catch her name, but I was there Thursday, March 19 between 6-8 PM at the Craft location--she was running the sample table and sharing the carrot cake latte (which, by the way, was incredible). Please pass along a huge thank you and some well-deserved recognition--she truly made an impact. And one last thing... BRING BACK THE EQUINOX!! Pretty please read more

This was my first time to the Brewpoint Founders Cafe and was completely impressed! From their other location, I like that this one truly aligned as a coffee shop. They still had the same coffee menu, seasonal drinks, and baked good offering; but, felt a lot more like a neighborhood destination. I ended up ordering coffee for my work team and all were impressed by the flavors! I got a Black Americano, Hot Borealis Latte, and the Whipped Carrot Cake Latte for myself. The Carrot Cake Latte may be a new all time favorite of mine! It wasn't too sweet but just leaned into the flavor profile enough. My coworker who had the Hot Borealis said it may have been her favorite latte she's tried. I also got the Herbed Goat Cheese Croissant which is familiar yet unique with the pop of savoriness. Overall, this was a great experience as a stop in when passing through the area. Brewpoint continues to have great flavors that leaves a lasting impression. Staff is friendly and pricing is fair. read more

A unique spot to enjoy a drink! This spot is large with plenty of parking, big enough for a group gathering with enough space to spread out comfortably or use their bench or table options inside. The interior is decorated in an interesting way, with chandeliers and more upscale looking lighting - with the look of a slightly upscale coffee shop at the counter. The drinks here are pretty solid, with some interesting seasonal options. Pricing is very reasonable on the drinks -- actually cheaper than most of the local restaurants nearby. The pricing on the pastries is a bit on the high side, but not outrageous. Overall worth a visit if you're in the area and need a reasonably priced coffee, beer, wine, or cocktail -- and lots of space to relax and enjoy your drink. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday morning around 8AM, after asking a local for a spot where I could get a good iced chai latte. Let me just say.... brewpoints chai did not disappoint! Parking is free around the area and it wasn't too crowded at that time. I ordered a medium iced dirty chai, which you have the option of 1- 2 shots of espresso, at no extra cost for 2. Service was friendly, restaurant felt very hip, and I also loved that the coffee shop was decorated for Pride month- such a warm and welcoming touch that made the visit even better! S/o to the local, Amanda, for the amazing rec! read more

The specialty coffee menu items were super cool and had a goat cheese croissant that was good.

Overall: Satisfied with the taste & menu flavors, dissatisfied with friendliness & price. 4 stars for unique menu items and flavors true to name. - Would I return?: Only if I were in need of something specific to Brewpoint, or wanting to try a unique holiday menu flavor My Food ---------- * Ordered- "Chocolate Covered Pistachio Matcha"/Large/Spring 2025 Menu * Flavor & Taste- Mocha cloud foam tasted just like chocolate milk. I did get the impression of a "chocolate covered pistachio". Chocolate milk was the first flavor hit, then I got to taste the pistachio which tasted spot on and was one of the best pistachio matcha I've tried. Overall, the drink was very flavorful, rich, creamy, and filling. * Order again?- Personally, it was too rich and tasted too strong of chocolate milk. I would have liked less of the mocha foam. * Portion Size vs. Price- $9 for a large, too pricey, drank in 5-10 min * Menu Variety- Unique spring menu & signature drinks, good variety The Place -------------- * Atmosphere- Cozy, comfy, people sitting/working on laptops, minding own business. * Service- Not very friendly to customers at the register but, a lot of convo with other employees * Crowd Levels- 9am, moderate, 2 min wait time * Cleanliness- Clean, nice cafe * Location- On a corner, has a walk-up window in the summer, nice neighborhood * Parking- Free street parking read more

My husband and I were in the area and stopped to grab some drinks. They have a great selection of cold and hot beverages. Both the Earl Grey Matcha Latte and the Pirouette Latte were very delicious.

Attended a baby shower here yesterday in their back room and considering it for a party ourselves. We were able to bring our own food and then the hostess opened a table for coffee and alcoholic drinks- they serve both! Bae and I both ordered ube mocha lattes. I ordered mine iced and he ordered hot. Both were tasty although hot brought out the flavor more. A few things I liked besides the space in the back- staff super friendly. They also sell their own cold brew concentrate. Very clean and airy. Even on one of the coldest days so far this winter- there was tons of sunlight coming through. They have a nice presence on instagram- a combo of sharing their own story as well as recipes you can make with their cold brew. Will definitely be back to try food and more coffee drinks. Next time I'll take pics. #ninangduties prevented me from taking any pics except selfies with my goddaughter. read more

I'm not a coffee person, but I like independent coffee shops and I like non-coffee drinks that shops often have. Brewpoint has been one of my favorites for many years; I first was introduced to them several years ago, pre-pandemic, when I would often visit Elmhurst Public Library because they have a kiosk called the Lexicon Cafe in the library. But this was my first time visiting the Park Avenue location (incidentally, about a block from the library). Actually, it was my first visit to Brewpoint since before the pandemic. I've been thinking about them for a couple weeks, wanting to pay a visit since I'm closer to them now in my new home and they often had some great specials. I'm not sure if today was just a bad day or if this is standard operating procedure. I used the walk-up window (which is what made me choose this location) and when I prepared to make my order, the employee told me that it would be about a 20 minute wait. 20 minutes, for coffee?? Maybe that's normal and I just don't know because I don't drink coffee?.... They were busy, but not so busy that it seemed unusual; coffee shops are often busy. I didn't seem to be the only one surprised by the length, and I don't know if it was because we were at the walk-up window and they prioritize indoor orders or if location or order (inside vs outside) made no difference. I love that they have a walk-up window at this cafe--in part because I'm COVID cautious, but moreso because I have a small child and getting her in and out of her carseat is a major pain when she now has the will and desire to not be strapped in. If I can find a spot right by the window (which I was lucky to do today), I can make my order at the walkup whilst leaving her in the car and still keeping her company since I'm standing outside the car. As annoying that it is that it took 20 MINUTES (and it did take 20 minutes, or maybe a few minutes longer) to get the drinks I ordered, they were fantastic drinks. Since I'm writing this on November 2, we're fully into autumn and their specials reflect that. I ordered their pumpkin spice latte and for myself picked up a pumpkin spice hot chocolate (which for some reason was a real tounge twister for me, but they understood!). The hot chocolate was unbelievably good. It may have been better than a regular hot chocolate, to be honest. I have to have another one, so I will be returning soon. But I may place my order as I leave the house (if they offer online ordering) so that it's ready by the time I get there. read more

Service is awesome and the coffee is delicious! Super warm and cozy shop, make sure to get some beans on your next visit!

Oh my goodness. I'm so sad I used to love this place. I just had to leave the store empty handed with no refund after waiting for over a half hour for a black ice coffee and a latte. I have no idea what was going on in there. Either hire more people or make things more efficient. I get that things get busy and people call in sick, but you have to warn people if it's going to take over 20 minutes to get 2 drinks. I couldn't even get back to the register to ask for a refund because there were so many people waiting. Yikes what a mess. Won't be going back. read more

It literally took 30 minutes to get an iced latte. It was fine, but not come back and wait another 30 minutes fine.

Love this coffee shop. I started going about 7 years ago when my daughter was in swim lessons. I fell in love with iced lavender chai here. It's a chill spot. I've come and hung out in the back space working on my computer. I've come to just enjoy a drink with my kiddo. It's always welcoming and tasty. read more

After many years, Brewpoint is still churning out high quality coffee and your favorite breakfast carbs. Today's gonna be a hot one, so I took an iced latte with oat milk foam. I probably would've gotten a specialty drink but didn't look over far enough on the menu. Service was friendly, and I'd say the drink came out in 10 minutes. This would be a nice place to work remotely, but it's a Saturday... so I took it to go. The foam was delicious, a nice light accompaniment to strong, dark coffee. I don't know where their vanilla sprinkled donuts are sourced from, but it was quite good as well. Almost a cronut. I'm not in Elmhurst too often, but I would go out of my way to stop here. read more

Brewpoint Coffee - Iced cold brew with oat milk foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

My favorite "fancy" coffee shop because they have really amazing flavor combos in specialty drinks on their menu. But... for you "straight black coffee" people out there, this is ALSO a favorite. They have their own blends and they're gooooood. Like drive-out-of-your-way good. The baristas are the artsy type - while friendly, they're not overly engaging. Don't hold that against them. They're going to make you a delicious drink! And they're busy! There's always someone occupying a table, if not all the tables full (Saturday mornings). And that's nice - there's always a buzz. There's also parking on the streets - even if you park a block away, it's a sweet little "town block" as opposed to a city block. There's 2 locations! Try both! read more

I have to say this is my favorite coffee shop in the suburbs, it's spacious. Plenty of options. The price point is what you's expect for a coffee shop. Plus my boyfriend and I had our first date here so I may be a little biased, but it's quiet and cute. Not a Starbucks! The service is quick and the baristas let us hang out until closing, we were so into our conversation that we did not realize everyone had left until the barista nicely nudged us to get going. All in all, will always come back here! read more

Matcha was watery. The coffee is good and I've had it many times in the past. Usually the employees are nice but today they were pretty rude at the downtown elmhurst location. The guy making my matcha made it wrong and then refused to fix it. Horrible customer service, like arnt you a coffee shop? Do it right or do it again.. For a $7 coffee it should taste good. read more

I was in Elmhurst wanting some good coffee and remembered this location. I enjoyed their grand opening event and coffee, so I figured I'd come back. I was not disappointed, I ordered the Borealis (hot), which has a honey nut taste with oat milk. It tasted like fresh espresso and honey nut cheerio milk. It is by far one of my favorite latte style drinks from any coffee shop based on flavor alone. The barista was really friendly and super fast with the order. This location is really quiet and they play relaxing music. Because of this there were a lot of people there studying on their computer. If I lived closer, I'd for sure make this my go-to spot. Give it a shot! read more

Saw this place on TT and decided to check it out. It's right off the Metra stop which is a convenient location, but the area does get a little busy. There's free parking which is a plus. I tried the seasonal Cinnaberry latte iced - blueberry and vanilla syrup, cinnamon, oat milk. I really like blueberry lattes and this did not disappoint. If you like blueberry or fruity fun drinks then you will enjoy this. It was well balanced - not too sweet and the coffee was smooth. My friend tried the strawberry lavender iced tea and she said "there's a lot going on in the drink" and she did not enjoy it. The barista was really nice. The space has comfy and homey feel. read more

Brewpoint is good local coffee. Elmhurst has a couple locations. It has this one close to the Metra station. Has coffee but also some baked goods. There's a few that are vegan. Coffee is mainly the focus. It has pretty good stuff and it's not overpriced like the corporate kinds. They have the basic stuff and some fancier stuff. Basic stuff includes the brewed coffee. It's $2.50 a cup. They have a few non dairy milks. Among these are almond and coconut. This also has some good treats. Among these are vegan cookies. It's about $2.50 for most baked items. They also have some gluten free items. Good place to get a coffee. It also has baked items. They have a lot of non dairy choices in milks and in treats. read more

This is my new favorite coffee shop in Elmhurst! Any café that offers a Pride Month cupcake, with donations from the sale of the cupcakes going to the Howard Brown Health Center, gets 5 stars from me! Thank you for that!! Conveniently located steps from the Metra train line, and only about 2 blocks from beautiful Wilder Park, it's a great location! Parking was free! The shop is bright, clean, and spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. There is plenty of seating inside, but we took our drinks to go and explored the area, including nearby Elmhurst Art Museum, Glos Memorial Park, and the Elmhurst Conservatory. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Loved this place! I will definitely be back soon. Oh, and my blueberry mint iced tea was really delicious. read more

Just drove 30 minutes to this location to purchase a coffee for work tomorrow morning (which begins at 6:30am) only to find out that they had trashed their drip coffee 20 minutes before closing. Do not post closing hours of 7pm if you do not have your main staple - coffee - available for purchase. I am in town for work and name to make coffee in my hotel room.

Coffee shops seem to be popping up everywhere, but it can be hard to distinguish one from another. Brewpoint is doing a nice job of separating from the pack. They have an extensive list of caffeinated drinks and they roast their own beans which you can take home to make on your own. You can even get gallons of their lattes or cans of cold brew to go. Wow. I ordered the Bartolome, a sweet concoction of honey, oatly milk, espresso, and cinnamon. I got it with half the normal sugar after discussing what the drink was like with the server. Glad I did because it was still sweet with half that amount! It's nice to order from a place that takes the time to listen to their customers, provide drops of knowledge, and offer a space to grow in this coffee adventure. read more

Amazing spot! Came here for our first time today and tried their "Lewis and Clark" and it tasted like a liquid cinnamon roll...it was sinful but incredible. Besides their very unique menu, the atmosphere is really what stood out to me. It's a huge open space with vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light. It's one long room, and at the end is more of a meeting/banquet room (either a bachelorette party or a wedding shower was happening there when we were here). Lots of space for anyone, no matter if you're looking for couches to relax on or tables to sit at and get some major work done. We'd be here an embarrassing amount of times if we lived here. Can't wait to come back! P.S. they have really cool T-shirts and sweaters for sale read more
