café by day, bar at night! the inside has art by local artists featured normally, but when we happened to go it was the owner's own art which was so pretty. i tried their iced toffee nut tea latte & a regular lavlo, both were delicious. my partner got a pour over of their ethiopian roast. they make some fine coffee here for sure. speaking of, my partner is a coffee roaster in their spare time and got to chat with the owner, dustin, about roasting bc it turns out palette roasts their own coffee. he is a super cool guy!! if you're curious about roasting definitely come over and chat w him read more

I've been coming here for years as it's down the street from my job. Great vibe and love the artwork. The matcha is always made to perfection and their coffee options are always changing with the seasons with new specials. The only thing is...please start offering cold foam for drinks. Unfortunately, they do NOT. Cold foam is very popular and the cafe could generate more sales with this feature. 3 stars instead of 4 because of this. read more

Cute atmosphere and stand out vibe, easy parking lot, fast working barista, us two guys enjoyed a butter spice latte and breakfast sandwich. There is a lot to like here. Noticed alcohol options too, a beautiful main space, and bright open area makes a lot more special moments to share than many mainstream coffee spots. read more

Always a great cold brew whenever I stop in. Great service, quick, and I'm out the door. Very chill inside if you're looking to work or just enjoy the artwork. read more

Music was relaxing and the art was a nice touch to the place, love the lighting. The plants would be a nice addition but there were too many bugs flying around them and made it hard to enjoy the food because we had to swat them away and they landed in the food anyway. I wish they had a full menu to look at but it's just scanning a QR code. They didn't have hot sauce and their sandwiches were premade, drinks were good. Very cute plates and a schedule that has fun events on it. Nothing extraordinary, wouldn't recommend. read more

Product and service was amazing. If you like a good stand alone espresso with great crema, this is the place.

Great coffee. Best I have had on the south side for sure and right up there with best anywhere really. Friendly service. My only suggestion is that the slot machines totally conflict with the high end image of this place. It's like the best grass fed hamburger place decided to sell gas station sushi out of the window in the back..... Maybe come up with another way to utilize the space to make extra income that is compatible with your brand. read more

This, by far, the most delicious coffee in all Chicago suburbs! I'm not kidding. I tried literally everywhere! The thing people don't notice is that the coffee is ORGANIC! That's a huge plus! Very great quality and very affordable price. I come here at least once a week. I've told many of my church friends to come, they love it too‍ read more

Cute little coffee shop that roasts its own beans. It has a bit of a "hipster" vibe, as in slower service and basic - but fresh menu. I enjoyed my beverages and favor this place to other local shops. Got a variety of drinks and everyone liked theirs from an iced lavender latte with almond milk, iced matcha with raspberry, and iced green tea. If you have leisure time, check this place out. If you're more in a rush, go to a chain where they pump out coffee like machines. read more

This place deserves an encore. The guy at the bar was super friendly, and communicated efficiently. The scone was awesome and I don't even eat scones. He heated it up to just the right temp and I didn't even have to ask. The inside is eclectic, with the art gallery and decor. Tons of seating by the window... a must for early birds like me. read more

Espresso martini was very good they add something different to make theirs stand out. The lady who helped me was very nice and knowledgeable about what she was doing. I'd definitely stop by again if I am ever in the area. read more

It's a bit of a hidden gem here! Very nice coffee shop with beautiful art and a nice seating area! They have a large menu with food, snacks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages with a gaming room. Staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome! The coffee is delicious!! It is one of the best tasting coffee in the area!!! Also- at a very good price!! Will definitely be back! read more

Seriously love this place. Good coffee. Good food. Super clean and cute. And look at that latte art. It's relatively quiet on a Saturday morning, but they have all kinds of things on the calendar...open mic night, etc. They do have video poker, but it's nicely tucked in the back portion of the building. read more

Coffee is solid - not terrible, not amazing. Food selection is okay, ambiance is... strange? It's like an art gallery meets an espresso stand meets a wine bar meets an offsite gambling stop? Not my favorite. In an attempt to make it a combo of art and drinks, it just ends up not really doing any one thing well. The seating feels cold and sterile rather than the warmth you would expect from a coffee house, but it's also not so focused on procuring enough art that you can enjoy it as a gallery. The addition of alcohol and gambling just creates a feeling of wtf is going on in this place haha. Wanted to love it but likely won't be back as the coffee wasn't good enough to offset the weird vibes. read more

Wonderful experience, excellent customer service and a hidden gem! Try the espresso martinis...t huh yea make a mean one!

Went here two times recently and both were positive. Super clean inside and spaced out to enjoy your coffee, pastry or to work on your laptop. There is also a bar area you can sit as well. Both baristas were really knowledgeable and customized my drink exactly how I wanted it. The iced lavender vanilla latte was really delicious! The iced matcha with vanilla was equally as good. Would recommend! read more

I went to see my high school friend play guitar. The whole experience was reminiscent of what coffee houses from the 1960's would have been like-minus the cigarette smoke. The entertainment was awesome and the coffee was great! read more

Let me start by saying this is hands down THE BEST coffee shop I have ever visited. The coffee is amazing and the owner (Dustin) does an excellent job of explaining and making the varieties sold. Every coffee drink also comes with a small biscoff cookie (so cute). The decor is very clean and simplistic which for me equals sophistication. They serve drip coffee , espresso, (all from freshly ground beans) tea beer and wine as well as a few baked goods (scone, cinnamon roll, biscotti and a tiramisu) along with a savory sandwich and a quiche. One of the biggest highlights for me Is that I can get anything made with decaf (I had a really bad reaction to the caffeine in coffee) but I love the taste and so for me this is a HUGE win. I also like that they use organic products and are on the sustainable side When the hubby and I stopped by yesterday evening around 5pm, we were pleasantly surprised to find a open mic in full swing, with musicians providing live entertainment for us as we sat and enjoyed our coffee. I had a flat white for the first time made with decaf espresso and almond+oat milk and it was amazing. I also tried a decaf espresso martini and that..... all I can saw is wow! Soooooo good. Went back today to get some decaf beans to enjoy on our trip this week and decided to snag a decaf iced latte too, cause why not! another win! Definitely my new favorite place and will try a chai latte on my next visit read more

Amazing service, great ambience and an excellent espresso/latte!! I'll come again whenever I'm back in this part of town!

Cute and artsy. Coffee okay however seems like a great place to work during the day and/or hang out with friends at night. They serve finger food, coffee, beer, wine, etc read more

It has really cute charm, feels like you are sitting in an art gallery. And they change the art regularly. Super cool. I love the coffee flights, so fun to try 3-4 different seasonal flavors. The pistachio and coconut hot coffees are the best! They offer some pretty good breakfast sandwiches and muffins. Great place to try! read more

Service is always great, the coffee is delicious, and staff is very friendly. I have been here numerous times and the last time we ordered a "flight" which I loved that they now offer. I like they included hot and iced in the flight, cute presentation. read more

we stopped by today me, my 2 daughters and our small toy poodle service dog. the lady taking our order did not greet us or say hello, from the moment we walked in she was cold and not friendly. we placed our order and sat down waiting for it, she started saying that we can't have our dog in there. my daughter told her that it was a service dog and proceeded to show her the certificate, this woman started saying "this does not look like this dog" and continued to say to my other daughter "put her in your lap, you're pushing it now". we took our drinks and left and will never come back again. This employee had zero customer service skills and was very rude on top of it. my daughter always goes there to study and have coffee but after today she won't be coming back. read more

Met a friend for coffee one Sunday. Elaina was nice and welcoming and made the menu approachable. She was able to tell me about all of the drinks and food and gave great recommendations. Even had a non-dairy option for my husband. It was a really nice vibe inside with cool art on the walls. I had a really good breakfast sandwich and the coffee was excellent! I had an iced caramel coffee, probably my favorite iced coffee drink I've ever had, seriously. I will visit again and strongly recommend! read more

A may come here regularly on my day off because it's not the closest coffee place to my home but the tiramisu latte and the white chocolate Carmel latte were delicious and for both it was under ten bucks. The place is cute inside and I want to try more of their flavors! They have lavender and elderflower which you don't find everywhere. Only thing is maybe they put too much ice in the iced coffees...or maybe I chugged it too fast cause it was tasty. They also have food, cute places to sit, and slots read more

Great decor and coffee was very good. We are visiting family in Chicago area and find it hard to get good coffee. I hope to return before our trip is over. read more

My coworker introduced me to this place about two weeks ago. I have gone at least twice a week since! The pistachio latte is to die for. You can get any kind of milk and many other flavors as well. Lots of fun tea drinks on the menu too. I want to try the food as it always looks delicious and come back again sometime after work to try a cocktail! The staff is always super friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend for anyone in the area! read more

This place had a really nice open ambience and some good drinks. I had a decaf mocha and my friend has a Matcha latte with oat milk. It was chill for a Tuesday afternoon. We could hang out for an hour and a half without any interruption. I also loved that they let you open a tab, which was great for a café. Really happy to find this place! read more

I am so excited about this coffee shop. Not only does the Southwest side deserve and need more places like this to get coffee, but it's also a welcoming place to gather. I see they have signs for yoga, guitar circle, and open mic. The coffee is so good every time I go, and much cheaper than Starbucks! They also have food and alcohol, which seems like it could be fun to go for a drink. read more

Very chic, modern, and simple vibe. The menu is limited with deli icons coffee and tea beverages as well as a bar menu. The shop hosts a variety of events from su day morning yoga, to open mic night on Fridays. They also display local art, that is for sale, and had a few pastires from a local bakery to purchase. I was greeted with a friendly and warm welcome, followed by a big hot cup of coffee and scone that did not disappoint. The prices are very reasonable and now that I know they are here, it will be my coffee choice over Starbucks or dunkin any day. Thank you for being local coffee shop and supporting other local businesses! See you next time. read more
