Sputnik Coffee Company

Great little shop! Friendly staff, delicious coffee, and pastries. Super reasonable prices at only $1 for a small coffee. They make the most perfect looking donuts I’ve ever seen too. It’s a drive from the suburbs but it’s a must-stop every time we’re in the area.

The coffee beans are the freshest you can get. Roasted in shop and dated. Definitely my go-to, perfect medium roast. They’ll grind them on the spot if you’d like. Thankfully they’re available at our local grocery store and for only $7.

We tell all our friends about this place and their coffee, and encourage them to support small business. We sincerely hope they prosper and a company and can continue making our favorite cup of Joe.

We discovered Sputnik coffee at HASH restaurant several months ago. The coffee tasted so good that my husband asked the staff for the name of it. He wanted to be able to try and have it at home. They told us about Sputnik, about the local folks who own and are the roasters; and we knew we had to check them out. It’s become somewhat of an obsession. :) We are thrilled they have a local shop so we buy our coffee from them regularly. We also love their loose leaf tea, especially the turmeric ginger and chamomile lemon. You can buy it whole bean or have it ground. They have espresso beans, as well. We really try to support local, small business and Sputnik makes it so easy! We believe it’s the best coffee in Chicago, hands down! And lastly, a shout out for the tasty bakery treats that we enjoy, too.

Beautiful corner coffee roaster located about 18 min east of Chicago midway. Came here right off the plane in need of good coffee and a place to reply to emails. Super friendly and affordable. I got an oat milk latte and some whole beans and an apple danish. Can't wait to try the beans at home!

Sputnik Coffee is a Chicago institution. We’ve been enjoying their roasted coffee for the better part of 2021 through 2022. We’ve ordered coffee from them many times and have always been over delighted at its freshness and flavor. We stopped in today for the very first time and met the owners and they were nothing short of spectacular. The service was top notch. Our son had an espresso and I had a latte with whole milk and house made vanilla. It was in fact the best latte I’ve ever had. It will definitely not be our last visit to the store. Thank you so much for your high-quality product and for your incredible service and friendly camaraderie.

Ummm…this was the best latte I’ve had in a long time in Chicago. I stopped by Saturday morning because Back of the Yards was closed and Sputnik is down the street (plus I’ve had their beans before). I got a large latte with vanilla syrup and oat milk. The first sip blew my mind with how clean it tasted (no bitterness at all). And I’m no coffee/espresso novice!! They have pastries (croissants, etc) for sale too which looked good. Very prompt service despite a small queue of people and I liked the front entrance with the knick knacks for sale. Only thing I’d wish for is seating inside. I’m hoping they have some outdoor seats when the weather is nice. Will return.

Sputnik has been on a list to-try. Enjoyed their house blend in shop and excited to brew at home. Happy to have a personal chat with the owner about origin and roast. Life happens. Coffee helps.

Such a hidden gem in random spot.
I was passing by and couldn’t resist the way how the air smells like fresh coffee bean. Coffee was not strong but delicious.

Cozy little coffee shop. Affordable coffee and delicious pastries. Parking is off street. If you are driving here parking can be a bit tricky but possible.

What a great neighborhood gem! Our office had an early morning event and Sputnik Coffee came through on time with delivering fresh coffee and yummy pastries. We love supporting local businesses! Thank you for being here!

Had an iced mocha coffee and it was just right! Not too sweet either, definitely would come back for more future purchases.
