Lots more than just coffee. They have salads which are fresh. A lot on the menu which is crazy. It's not that big of a place. They have mostly a selection of pastries and salads. Coffee is the best thing to get. It's about $6 for a specialty. Best of these is the Brown Shaken Espresso. This is choice of milk along with cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and double espresso which is kickass. A thing to really get one going. It's about $9 for a salad. They have a few of these. I got the Arugula Pecan Salad. This also has balsamic glaze, cranberries, garlic pickle, lodolemono, onion crisps, pecans, and tomatoes. It was enough. She got the Avocado Toast. Basic looking. There's also paninis. Chill place to get breakfast or lunch. It's located on Cicero at 157th. This is across from the Metra station.

The Americano was really hot and they even warm the cream for you. The sandwich tasted really good. Lots of avocado and the lemondono is as sweet which made the sandwich savory with a sweet little kick. The lady working the counter was extremely friendly and personable. It's located by the Metra so it's a perfect place to come by and grab a bite before getting on the train or even just work for a bit. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back!

This is the cutest cafe. I was looking for an iced matcha and my search lead me here to La Bodega…read moreCafe. It's right off the highway and easy to spot off the exit. Parking is on the street but on a Monday afternoon there was no issue. The inside is clean and beautifully decorated. The perfect place to bring a friend or come solo and do some work. I saw they had a couple games available for guests as well. Jenga and such. I ordered the banana matcha and my mom, the lovers latte. While waiting we were offered a complimentary bowl of soup that was simple but delicious and served piping hot. My matcha was great. At first sip it reminded me of a banana split. Very creamy and flavorful but if you're a true matcha lover there's not much matcha flavor present. I still enjoyed it though and would come back for another one. I would like to try a horchata matcha in the future. Not necessarily on their menu but they have a horchata latte so I think it can be done. The barista was nice. It's definitely a made to order cafe so allow yourself a little extra time when stopping by. We were too busy eating soup and were in no rush so it worked out on this visit.

All syrup flavors were store-bought pumps but they had standard and seasonal offerings. I went with the Pumpkin Spice Latte with Oatmilk. The drink came to $9 which was expensive for me. The flavor was good and had a good amount of caffeine in it. Beyond the cost, the gentleman working was smoking a cigarette out front when I arrived. He put it out when I walked up and followed me in. I believe he put gloves on but didn't wash his hands. This just left me feeling hesitant about how items are handled.

They had a large main dining room with coffee bar to sit at as well as some back spaces to host events. They recently got new owners who are going to revamp the menu and offer more events to the community. Their menu was smaller but intriguing. They had great signature drink flavors that could be applied to different coffee style drinks. I got the Lavender Shortbread flavor as an iced latte and loved it! My husband got the Chai Latte which he wasn't quite fond of but they asked if he wanted cinnamon on top which was nice. Overall, coffee is their specialty and there's a reason why. I'm sure they have other tea drinks that may have been more favorable as well. I wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy a cup inside rather than to-go.

It's about $7 for a bowl of chili. This is vegan. Has quite a bit spiciness to it. This is a great one to warm up with. Also they have carrot soup which is great. They also have lots of pastries.

I've been wanting to check out more local coffee shops around the 60617 area, and since there…read morearen't a ton of options, I did a little Googling and found Pullman Club Coffee Shop. It was about an 18-minute drive for me and definitely worth checking out. The coffee shop is located in Chicago's historic Pullman neighborhood, inside a beautiful historic home. If you enjoy history, architecture, old homes, or places with a little character and a story behind them, you'll appreciate the setting before you even order anything. There is a small parking lot that fits about four cars. I was able to get a spot, but if it's full, you'll probably need to use street parking, which looked fairly easy to find. I also noticed accessibility accommodations for guests using wheelchairs. The actual coffee shop is tucked toward the back of the house. I was greeted by a very friendly server who asked if I was there for the neighborhood tour. I wasn't, but apparently they offer tours on Sundays. There was a small group gathering for one while I was there, and now I definitely want to come back and do the tour before winter really settles in. Now, despite this being a coffee shop, I'm a TEA GIRL. Coffee and I are cool, but tea has my heart. I ordered a chai latte with oat milk, along with a cranberry muffin. They didn't have almond milk, which is what I normally prefer, but the oat milk worked just fine. While I waited, I walked around the house looking at the photographs and reading about the history of the home and neighborhood. That made the experience feel like more than just stopping somewhere for a drink. My chai latte was really good, flavorful and not overly sweet. Since I'm a sugar girl, I'd probably add just a little extra sweetener next time, but that's personal preference. The cranberry muffin was delicious, soft and moist. Next time I'd ask to have it warmed up, but it was still very good as served. Service was friendly, my order came out pretty quickly, and they accept both cash and card/tap payments. Overall, 5/5 for me. I'd absolutely come back. Next time I want to try something different from the menu and hopefully take the neighborhood tour too. Even if you don't live in Pullman, this is one of those little neighborhood spots worth venturing over to. Grab a drink, enjoy the historic surroundings, and take a little time to explore.
