We were walking our dog at the park up the street and realized we could order coffee/breakfast right there without worrying about one of us needing to stay outside with the pup. My parents came to visit and we immediately wanted to bring them here! One of the best cups of coffee I've had, not to mention how many options and flavors they have! Service was quick and very friendly! Patio is so nice too :)

Awesome coffee!! I never heard of air roasting beans before coming here. The staff were great and…read moreanswered our questions when we were ordering our drinks. It's super cool that the beans are imported from their own family farm! We ordered two iced lattes and also took two cans of cold brew home to try. The cold brew is also great! I wish I'd grabbed more. It's very nice inside with plenty of seating. The restroom is shared with the apartment building next to it, so it was very clean.

Although I did not like the caramel taste of my latte, I am very excited to come back and try other options, including their breakfast sandwiches. One of the owners and other barista were extremely sweet and could tell they knew who their regulars were and were very welcoming to everyone. Though for that reason they were a little on the slower side. It did take a while for me to get my drink, so I would take that into consideration. They have plenty of seating downstairs, upstairs, and a back patio for when the weather gets nicer.

Three door entries for accessibility. If this place was crowded it would be tighter. I always order drip coffee and today was no different except I had a wait a couple of minutes for light roast which was fine. The coffee is tasty but not the best that I've ever had. I didn't like that I had to move the medium sized bathroom garbage can to shut the door as they were using it as a stopper. But the bathroom is gender neutral and very clean. Quiet and clearly friendly environment. Street metered parking but not expensive. I worked return here because of the seating and historic window vibe. The one in downtown oak Park is kinda tucked away but the outside tables in nice weather is a vibe.

Definitely cozy place to study, read, or just chit chat over your beverage of choice. Service can sometimes be on the slower side because it's usually only one person behind the coffee bar and some of the menu items require some work. But with that said, it doesn't ever feel like a long wait because you can just plop down and settle in as others are getting their items.

What was not to love about Blackout Baking? Their Pumpkin Spice Latte with their homemade pumpkin…read morepurée (I believe) was so good!! They had pumpkin everything all weekend long, so we tried everything. The pumpkin cinnamon roll topped with cream cheese frosting was to die for!! We also enjoyed the pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. We bought so much more, but they were sweet and friendly enough to package it up for us so that I could bring it back to MA. Their service is outstanding! The place is lovely, clean, lots of black and white. Just love it, and can't wait to come back for a visit!

We arrived late morning, and the coffee shop wasn't crowded, but had a few patrons. It was a Sunday morning. It was really hot and humid outside, so we appreciated the air conditioning. We chose to sit at a table inside. I looked at the menu. I did feel that the coffee menu wasn't extravagant, as most of the items were pretty basic. My husband chose an iced chai, and I chose an iced coffee with nonfat milk. I appreciate places that carry nonfat milk, as several do not. The bakery menu was quite a bit more extravagant. My husband chose the banana cake, and I chose a parmesan truffle roll. Later, I noticed that they had an Italian Beef roll (a true Chicago specialty), but I had already ordered the parmasean truffle roll. Honestly the pastries were amazing. Service was fast and the coffee and chai were good. We sat inside and had some interesting chats with some of the customers. I think that that though the coffee menu is basic, the products are good. The bakery items are delicious, and it seems to be a real community hub where locals enjoy spending time.
