The Avondale Coffee Club by Reprise Roasters

I did artwork for this company for a long time up until recently when the owner refused to pay me for some services rendered. He has mistreated more employees than just I in the past with absolutely no remorse. Their motto “roasting for a more balanced and palatable world” can’t make any sense when they can’t even treat those helping them properly. The disrespect is unbelievable and my incident is not isolated, upon posting my story in a Chicago industry facebook group many more who had worked with him in some capacity, or who had simply tried to be a patron of the shop, shared stories of terrible treatment by this owner. There are plenty of other shops in this community that don’t treat people like like expendable garbage. Steer clear.

So happy to have this in the neighborhood. Excellent coffee, cool employees, chill place to get work done.

Super friendly staff, delicious homemade chai tea latte mix and awesome donuts!!

Got here at 6:30 on a Thursday and the door was locked even though the sign says open late Thursday and it’s posted they are open till 11pm. Sad for a place with dessert, booze and coffee.

Holy moly, this is my new favorite coffee shop. Really cool and retro ambiance with creative coffee and an assortment of pasties. I have a soft spot for coffee shops that make their own syrups in house and Avondale Coffee Club does just that with really interesting flavors. I had the seasonal Horchata latte which was just bursting with cinnamon. 10/10 can't wait to visit again!

Cool Atmosphere and great Coffee 😃

They do bad and dirty business. They hired my friend to do exclusive branding for them and have yet to pay them. There are good coffee shops out there. This is not one of them.

Great coffee, great baked goods, and AMAZING atmosphere 🤗

I absolutely love the vibe of Avondale Coffee Club. Great design, fantastic drinks, and a wonderful place to hide away and get some work done. They have a neat covered patio outside and parking!!!! which is unheard of for a coffee shop on the northwest side. Owners are super folks.

Blah. Had such a bad experience one time here with my sister where we had brought in a sandwich (they only have pastries at this coffee shop) and rather than simply saying hey we don’t allow outside food, the barista told us we would be kicked out if we ever did this again. Just made us feel so embarrassed and unwelcome.
