For that variety, don't go right when they open. Wait a minute. If you do go right when they open, grab some bombolini. Have them type you some fresh cannoli. They even put together a killer cake for me with little notice. It's not unusual to have one of the owners wait on you. But the whole staff is nice with her without the owners behind the counter.

I ordered a cortado, which was excellent, and it came with a complimentary sparkling watersuch a unique and refreshing touch. I honestly wish more coffee shops did that. I also grabbed the chicken pesto panini, it was absolutely delicious and way more filling than I expected. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Overall, a great experience all around. High-quality drinks, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Colin and Dolly are two of my favorite baristas of all time! My go-to drink is usually anything seasonal when it comes to their coffee and their iced drinks you can add different flavors of Red Bull. YUM. Really enjoy their photo wall art of all their different customers throughout the years. Overall just a really family friendly place to go if you're in the area getting some shopping done!

I went to my eye Dr Lau less than 1 block north of Weston Coffee & Tap. While I was there I decided to take a walk & see what was in the area. That's when I spotted Weston's Coffee & decided to check it out. They had some good looking sandwich options in the window so I went in. Weston's is a cool little restaurant & tap. They sell a variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, coffee, tea & beer & wine. Cool little store w/ a cool vibe w/lots of artwork on the walls. Best of all is the location right across the street from the Jefferson Park Transit Center. You can pick up a bus or the blue line train to ORD or downtown or the NW Metra train. Pop in grab a coffee & sandwich and go or stop in on the way home & have a craft beer or wine & relax before going home

I ordered the Terrifier, a red velvet and vanilla latte . It was delicious and the red velvet flavor was the perfect touch. They also have a Fright Flight, which lets you sample all their specialty drinks. The decor really sets this place apart with plenty of cozy seating to hang out and enjoy your coffee.

I stopped in to go and the chai was different from what I've tasted before; hard to explain. I did't like it at first but it grew on me. I wonder if it wasn't well mixed, perhaps, because it was a little stronger at the end. Having a drink to dine in might be nice though. They have a really nice tea. The parking lot though is a mess. This is located in a strip mall right off Lawrence and Oketo so it can quickly get congested, and it's a little tight. But a nice comfortable place to stop if you'd like a coffee or tea.

A very nicely decorated place with great taste and attention to detail. I went with my friends for an afternoon coffee. We all ordered different types of coffee, and every single one was excellent. Unlike chain coffee shops where everything comes in paper cups, here you actually get a real cup, which I really appreciated. My friends also ordered spinach pie and said they hadn't had such a good one in a long time. The guys who work there are very kind and pleasant. Overall, everything was truly wonderful. I would definitely recommend everyone to visit this place!

However, it was quick.They were quick to bring it our order out, and have it ready, despite being so busy inside.We did have to wait a little bit to find a table for our family as large as ours, but that seems to be the norm, because most tables also seem to have about six people on each. The adeni as always is a must have and always my favorite to get. The honeycomb bread and a smattering of other little treats we got from the display cafe that they have was also good and welcome to have in a typical windy day. I would note that even though it smells delicious in here with the coffee aromas, this does not would not be a good place to come to study. This feels like a very friendly friend of the environment because we saw so many different families here and because of that, it was very loud. Just as a heads up. If you're looking to have tea or coffee after dinner out with a family, then this is the place.

You can park in the lot - but park on the side that is closer to the gas station. Or, paid street parking is also available. Overall, a cozy breakfast experience with great service and good food!
