Elder + Oat

An intimate coffee shop and bakery with a relaxed and friendly feel located in Downtown West Dundee. Locally owned and operated . Unique flavors featuring locally sourced ingredients . They will always feature a gluten free item. The owners want everyone to feel at home when enjoying a cup of coffee ,tea or latte while engaging in conversation with friends or just relaxing on a Sunday Morning. As soon as you walk in you will see the hand painted murals on the walls with small tables and booths while being greeted by a friendly staff. They only use 100% organic flour and the freshest ingredients. I started with their signature latte the Elder and Oat which was a mix of vanilla and oat milk with a hint of elderflower. They offer a selection of pastries..donuts..breads and sandwiches. Huge menu selection. The Mulled Apple Cider GF donut was my favorite. They are open till 2pm midweek and 3pm on weekends. Available for private events and pop up shops as well. With so many delicious choices to choose from I will have to go back!

This is one of the best coffee shop in Dundee area. Coffee menu is very impressive and anything I've tried there is very tasty, including their own doughnuts, bread and scones. It's all super fresh and made right there , at their kitchen. The other thing that very pleasant is their interior design and location itself: right in the middle of downtown and close to the Fox River.
The only downside is that they only open until 2pm on weekdays and until 3 pm on Saturday..So it's kind of hard to find time during the day to enjoy this place, especially if you working all day.

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop and bakery located in downtown West Dundee. Love the friendly and relaxing vibes as soon as you walk in. They have a board games and kids activity stuff to keep the little ones engaged.

We tried the ginger bread latte, golden milk & honey latte, egg and cheese breakfast biscuits and freshly made donuts. Everything was made with the freshest ingredient and they have gluten free and vegan options as well.

They are open daily from 6:30 am till 2pm on weekdays and 7- 3pm on weekends. Check it out and enjoy delicious coffee, pastries, and more.

The service is great. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

My friend’s friend recommended this shop and it’s the cutest place. I’ve never been to the West Dundee part of town, so it feels like I’m in an old European spot. I love the bricks and how much culture Elder & Oat shares with the town.

I got the barista’s fave cinnamon iced latte flavor and it did not disappoint! And the berry donut!!!! MUST HAVE! I don’t know how they make it but it was a good kind of sweet.

I would definitely come again and visit this town if I’m in the area.

Excellent Coffee place where people specially elders are treated with Great love

I visited this place first time as it was referred by someone. It was worth.
Very homely atmosphere. Nice Christmas decoration. I was very happy to see that many customers and staff was in ugly dress . It looked interesting and entertaining.
Food and drinks were incredible
I ordered Italian Buttercream sourdough and brown-butter pecan scone with elder +oat latte.
I also tried garlic + rosemary focaccia with pesto sauce. Everything was amazing

I had a great experience and must visit it again with my family and friends soon.

We hired Elder & Oat for our wedding and they were beyond amazing throughout the entire process. We stopped by to check their donuts for a possible late-night snack and ended up hiring them for cocktail hour charcuterie boards, donut dessert table AND wedding cake! We worked with Brad, one of the co-owners, and we couldn't have been more impressed with how great it was to work with him. He told us what Elder & Oat is all about, introduced us to all the amazing pastries and drinks they offer, and gave the perfect suggestions based on our needs. We even asked them to make special beignets for the bride and if they could do our wedding cake with limited directions and the bakers did such an incredible job with both. The day of the wedding, while delivering the dozens of delicious donuts, they worked to make sure the day and decorations were perfect. Everything from taste to presentation was beyond what we could have hoped for from any vendor.
Finally, after the day was over, we realized how many compliments we received. We reached out to Brad and the other owners about the praise and they expressed how much work they put into our special requests. It showed how important they saw our special day and it was "the cherry on top" for us for the whole event. We wish we lived in the area to give them more business and praise because they are the real deal: incredible food, incredible people, incredible service!

Nice place to sit and visit. Soft background music. Pretty artwork. Hibiscus iced tea was really good and I tried the apple cider donut. It was delicious.

Cute local place with great pastry and drink options. Focaccia bread with a spread was good (plain bread and tomato spread here), so were the donuts and tea. Few vegan options too which is great! Definitely recommend for a quick snack if you’re in the area.

Great menu, delicious coffee, and spaciously decorated. Staff was professional and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a nice coffee house vibe!

The best doughnuts and scones in the suburbs of Chicago! Their cappuccino and espresso are top notch as well! Parking is in the back and the vibe is laid back, friendly, and heartwarming. Get over to Elder + Oat for coffee, doughnuts, scones, and bread today!
