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.

I typically take the coffee to go, but I've also sat down with a friend and some coffee and it's a great place for conversation and comfort.

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!

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.

For a snack I tried the Colombian Chicken Empanada - it came with a side of sauce (similar to a chimichurri type) that was perfect for it. Definitely a hit for me for both food and coffee. The service was prompt, and the guy working the counter was nice. But where this place really shined for me was the ambiance and the seating. It is comfortable without trying too hard to be hipster. The seating choices show consideration for folks wanting to set up shop and stay for a while, whether it's to read or work, and they really do come through. The leather couch they have was so comfy, I wished I had more time to just sit and enjoy my drink with a good book. But even if you can't grab a spot on the couch, the chairs at the tables actually have cushioning, so if I was trying to sip and work, this is where I'd go. I really do wish I lived closer but on nice days when I'm interested in a drive, I plan to head back here!

We started the process by going to their local headquarters and sampling the different styles. Sam and Kelly were very knowledgeable about all the products and made great recommendations. They provided us with a deluxe coffee bean grinder, a two-station coffee maker, and a two-station espresso machine. We have been open for almost a year now and we have never had any problems with their equipment or coffee products. They do have an emergency technician on call to stop by immediately if we ever have any issues. Lastly and most importantly, our customers absolutely love their coffee and it's one of the reasons why we've been able to be so successful in such a competitive market. Coffee is everything in our business and we made sure we picked the best around. It's always a pleasure dealing with Sam and Kelly from Philosophy Coffee. They often stop by our restaurant just to say hello and check on things. They don't just sell you a product and disappear, they are always proactive and really do things right away.

When you first walk in, you're unsure where to go and the employee behind the counter was very quick with explaining the process. after we picked what we wanted, we got an iced mazapan latte (the espresso in it was definitely burnt because it was very bitter. a cafe de olla (i requested to milk and got a cold foam on it) and a brujeria latte (it was good) the place is on the smaller size so that isn't the issue, but would i give this place another try? probably not but I'm glad i got this location off of my list.
