The name, Drip & Culture, perfectly describes this spot. I was in the Great Lakes area for only 2 days for one of my nephew's Navy graduation and I went to this place twice. We ordered the iced versions of the Ube Matcha and the Ube Hojicha. The flavor balance of these drinks are perfection. As a Filipino, I approve their ube; it's not like the "ube"/vanilla with food coloring from Trader Joe's. Sidenote: I love Trader Joe's overall, but the majority of their ube products are terrible. I'm going to be craving that Ube Hojicha for a long time. I hope I can find something similar back home. Also, if you're hungry, try the tacos sold inside the supermarket adjacent to the cafe. Cheap, big, and delicious tacos!

They have a pretty vast menu. You can see the love that goes into this family owned business. I decided to try the mango sticky rice matcha and the ube hojicha latte. The Ube beverage was great, the ube flavor stands out pretty strong unlike most ube coffee drinks I've had elsewhere. The mango sticky rice was delish, it was sweet but not overly sweet and the cream made a huge difference in the drink. Highly recommend. Overall we had a great fine and would recommend if you're looking for a fusion coffee shop to try!

Great coffee spot right next to the Libertyville Metra stop.

There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!

Same industrial feel inside with lots of seating and work space. Great as a remote working space or a meeting with friends. Expansive menu. All of the usuals for such a craft coffee shop but they also have a great selection pastries, some of which are vegan and gluten free. They've even got the ingredients for each item posted on the side of the display. Their website and social media is very backdated. I couldn't find anything recent in terms of their current menu in order to plan ahead before coming but the woman behind the register was very helpful.

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!

My Tiramisu Latte (winter drink) was really good. Smooth, not bitter, & clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

This feels like the kind of place you'd come back to again & again, whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or sitting for a bit. Definitely worth a stop I attached the menu that I recreated in Canva from the one hanging in the coffee shop since it was a bit hard to read in the photo, along with the Winter Menu.

Definitely worth stopping in if in the area. Small parking lot on the side or street parking as well. Amole seating for you or a group of friends to enjoy a chat over a good drink or quick treat!

Aesthetic, Instagram-worthy. Drink options, a perfect variety. I ordered a blueberry hibiscus tea and it was perfect for me on a cold winter day. It's a small cafe but I had to spend some time taking it all in because it had so many cute details and decorations. The vibe piece is the part that makes me hesitant on this spot. I went around 6 pm and they had a DJ booth set up blasting a lot of Shakira (not an exaggeration, for one hour it was just Shakira and different versions of Hips Don't Lie) complete with the music videos on a screen. It's a cafe, but it was giving trendy-ish bar. To be honest, the loud music and optional karaoke felt like a ploy to drive traffic that unfortunately doesn't consider what a customer seeking a coffee shop is looking for. Not to say it can't be done, but it's a small space and really is only conducive to chatting, sipping, and munching light bites. If you're looking for a cafe, I'd recommend coming earlier in the day. If you just want the vibes and cute photos, anytime is great.
