Whirlwind Coffee Company

Truly excellent coffee, very reasonable prices, and warm/welcoming staff. It's honestly hard to imagine anyone not liking Whirlwind as a whole, and the fact that their roasts really are some of the best in the area just solidifies the experience.

It's admittedly coffee-lover's shop in that the drinks on offer are very much the traditional selection (e.g. cortado, flat white, macchiato, cappuccino, etc.), so if what you're after is a huge array of sugar and milk-laden coffee "beverages" a la Starbucks, this probably isn't your scene (though they do have a couple, FWIW). But unlike big chains, there's a real owner/roaster to talk shop with, and their espresso roast actually makes for a good shot (most of the time I go with a double espresso and it's sublime).

If you like good coffee, good atmosphere, and supporting a local business that treats employees well *and* also happens to donate all net profits to charity, well this is as good as it gets.

Awesome new coffee shop locally owned and they donate a portion of the profits to charity. They roast thier own beans and all thier different varieties are delicious. They just opened the patio for the summer and it's a great place to relax on a these warmer mornings. Definitely be coming here often!

Whirlwind is great! Excellent coffee, roasted on site, and a tasty selection of baked goods. Super friendly staff and a cozy and quiet outdoor space as well. Proceeds go to local charities. One of my favorite local coffee shops!

Super cute shop with good seating options, lovely staff, and great coffee flavor in their latte!

Very comfortable atmosphere. coffee is delicious, pastries as well. The crew is charming, and they have a green and quiet outdoor patio. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in Oak Park!

Hands down, the best freshly roasted coffee! Vast coffee shop menu with lattes, cold brew, and cold brew slushies. Locally made pastries, and retail coffee gear too. Very relaxing cafe with friendly baristas and spacious, cozy outdoor patio.

Been to other roasters in the Chicagoland area including the city and this place stacks up with the best I’ve had if not the best. Their Break A Leg and Killer Diller beans are so soooo good. Don’t sleep on this place

We love whirlwind. I dare you to find freshly roasted coffee beans with as much care and respect for the community as Whirlwind. We need more coffee shops and cafes like Whirwind—local, fresh, and community focused.

A great new roaster in oak park. Fantastic coffee, excited to see this place grow.

The service was outstanding, and the quality / price of the coffee is excellent. Also, all net profit goes to local orgs.

Welcome to the neighborhood whirlwind!

So good that I needed a bag of beans to hold me over until I can get back in! Can't wait to try each different type.
