I shared this with the owner and we had a good laugh about it. He recommended their signature strawberry latte. I enjoyed every sip because I ended up buying the same beans they used to make their signature strawberry latte for my espresso machine at home. Definitely worth a try if in the area!

So many reasons I love this coffee shop! Delicious drinks,…read morefantastic people, a great vibe, a cool/funky location, and a great local business/gem of Uptown Racine (*a tip for the uninitiated: knowing where to turn off of Washington Ave is very helpful, as there are some one-way streets. The parking lot is behind the building and can be accessed from Ann St. or Owen Ave. If you are going thru the drive-thru be sure to turn on Owen St. (west of The Branch at 1501/Esperanza). See map in photos * Delicious Drinks! Our go-to's are: almond milk and lavender lattés, cold brew with frosted mint and a splash of cream, raspberry lemonade, Jamaica Agua Fresca and Maui Wowie (we've tried many other of their concoctions as well, and not been disappointed) and Pup Cups worth working for!! This is our dog's favorite coffee shop ;) * The people! Sergio and his team are genuinely warm friendly people. I stop by regularly, in part, just for the bright spot it adds to my day * The Vibe! Fun, creative, friendly, funny: they have fun daily poll questions, occasional simple while-you-wait art projects * The Cool and Funky Location! It's in a renovated bank! And you can get your drinks thru the drive-up teller drawer, or sit inside in an open, spacious, warm and well-lit great room. I've never seen a better use of a bank building in my life. Support a local business that adds its own delicious flavor of hope (a.k.a. esperanza) to Uptown!

The shop itself is adorable with tons of natural light, brick walls, some plants, the works. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The baked goods looked great but I didn't get any. Music is a bit loud but that's to be expected; I was still able to get some work done with headphones. The espresso itself was fantastic. Really smooth and flavorful. Plus they do it right and serve with sparkling water and a small nib of extra dark chocolate. If I lived in the are this would 100% be my go-to working cafe and I recommend stopping in if you get the chance.

I first came here for a coffee tasting session with Alex last summer, and that was a great…read moreexperience. Alex is super knowledgeable about coffee and clearly puts a lot of thought into what he does and how he does it. It's been really nice to be able to order coffee beans and have them delivered since we're so close to the store, but going there is easy too - convenient location and plenty of parking. The coffee itself has been solid - I am not a black coffee drinker, but my partner is, and he has consistently enjoyed the coffee he's gotten there. On our last visit to the shop, Alex told us about the other location they own, Maple Leaf Coffee House in St. Charles - we're hoping to check that out soon!

Maple Leaf Coffee Roasters is a great, fresh option in the Roselle area. They have a variety of…read morebean options for light, medium, dark roasts and even sell decaf beans. The bags come is 12oz and 16oz options but one can also preorder a large format of beans for pick up. When I visited, the owner Alex was there and he could not be nicer! He made some great recommendations based on my preferences and offers items in bean or grounded formats. I purchased the Costa Rica Marigold option based on the notes listed. He gave me beans that had been roasted that day! The beans are high quality but not has flavor forward as I'm used to. Either way, pricing was very fair and seems to always have all options in stock.

I'm so glad I finally had the chance to visit Tala! The staff was super welcoming and the coffee…read morewas delicious. I was surprised at how crowded it was at 11:30 a.m. on a Wednesday. Some customers were there to socialize and others were camped out to work from their laptops. I snagged the second-to-last table when I arrived, and the last table was claimed a minute later. In addition to coffee, lattes, cappuccino and other similar drinks, Tala offers a small section of muffins and pastries as well as a small lunch menu. I'd love to go back and try a sandwich with my next latte. The location is odd, in an industrial area off the beaten path. But considering the crowd in there, the word is clearly out and people are flocking to it!

When I arrived, I got a friendly greeting from the owner, with an immediate offer to sample many of the different items. Tried several of the different versions of shelled pistachios, which was helpful in making my final choices.
