    Great coffee and treats! My favorite treat is a blueberry muffin. Their coffee drinks, both hot and cold, are fresh and delicious. I love the iced turmeric latte, as well as the "regular"/unflavored hot latte. If you're avoiding caffeine, they have a selection of smoothies (peach and honey really hits the spot). All of these are prepared and served by very kind and capable baristas who have great senses of humor. I love that this place is truly dog friendly; it's a great place to bring my dog so I can have a coffee treat and he gets lots of treats from the staff and patrons. The overall atmosphere is very cool, casual and welcoming. Lots of seats and tables for you and your friends to sit and relax. It's a great place to have in the neighborhood.

    Band playing that night. The Rented Mules.

    Cool little neighborhood bar that's apparently also a music school and a coffee bar. On the night we were there they had live music. Nice little place that was not overpriced or overly crowded. If you're hungry, they have pizzas at a reasonable price. Many beers on tap. Atmosphere is great. Tin ceilings. Old school bar. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Nice place. Nice people.

    It's true, this bar is pretty friendly. They recently bought the space next door and opened the bar up a little for live music. The original Friendly Tap is a giant bar, curving around the entire room with a little bit of extra space around it, a couple video games in back and a decent jukebox. The new room has a stage area and a few tables. There is some lovely wood paneling and vintage neon beer guitar signs. I especially appreciate the picture with the owner and Svengoolie on the wall, since it is Berwyn after all. It's right across the street from Oak Park, so anyone suffering from the dry village blues should cross the street and check it out. It's not as scary as you might think. In fact, it was pretty nice.

    Best part about Friendly Coffee is the big front window that gets opened up wide on warm days!

    A true old school dive bar that's owned by a local musician. So the tunes are always great. And it's truly friendly.

    Great Cup of Coffee, wholesome oatmeal and a cozy atmosphere inside with soft melodic music.

    Is this an 18+ bar?

    There is a cafe side and a bar side. When I went there with my 20 year-old daughter the bartender told us she had to stay in the cafe side. 21+ can take their drinks to the cafe but I believe under 21 have to stay in the cafe. That was fine for… Read more

    I ordered a THAI CLOUD through the website, and when it was picked up, I realised it didn't match…read morewhat I ordered. It was missing the cream shown on the menu, and I know how it should look since I've ordered before. I understand they may have run out since it was late (around 8:45pm), but it's disappointing that no one informed us. They could've at least explained it to the person picking up the order instead of saying nothing. I ended up paying full price for an incomplete product. -also, at least at the NorthRiver Side location, the sugar level option doesn't seem to be respected. Whether you ask for 25% or 50%, the drinks always taste like 100%. If that can't be controlled, it shouldn't be listed as an option. -as a frequent customer, I used to earn points and redeem them for a free boba, a couples weeks ago I was told that option was no longer available. I really like the drinks here, but overall there needs to be better communication and more transparency with customers.

I like how there are pieces of fresh peach in there. My family members are fans of the mango slush drink. Usually, you order everything at the kiosks, and then they will call out your name. There are a few food options like mini pancakes. Side note: If you spend a certain amount at the nail salon next door (Future Nails) you get a complimentary drink from The Wolf.
