Ordered a mocha to go and wasn’t that impressed. In the past I’ve ordered food but for the price I’ve learned it’s better to just go with coffee. However after another disappointing experience I’ll probably just go somewhere else. The menu is creative and appealing but for the cost it’s hard to justify at this point. It’s disappointing as I would prefer to support a smaller business but without reliable consistency I’ll just go across the street in the future. Is it worth a try? Maybe. I hope it improves but ultimately I’m not confident in spending almost $10 on one espresso drink to find out.

The coffee and the teas are always on point. I get cortado or lattes usually. Matcha is good too. I’ve had some of the food and pastries. The croissant specifically has never tasted fresh to me, kind of a bummer after giving it a few tries.

Fairgrounds is a great place for casual weekend breakfast. I love the lox plate. I wouldn't mind if they added chorizo to the breakfast tacos as an option, but they're pretty good too.

The atmosphere was great, a good place to get a drink and catch up with friends, but the food was very bland for the price.

Delicious lattes and love all their bagged beans! Their baked goods are also worth the extra calories- highly recommend!

Large selection of drinks and a good food menu to choose from. I had the avocado toast - very yummy. The atmosphere is laid back and comfy. Worth a visit.

Nice atmosphere for hanging out. I appreciated the coffee selection; you can order local or Midwestern, in addition to non-domestic. I also had a sandwich and it was so filling, I didn't have to eat after that. Oak Park has odd parking rules so read the signs carefully.

NO CASH. Basically either they don’t trust their employees to handle cash, or they don’t accept legal federal currency. Both are which are unacceptable. This is exactly the bill Pritzker has been trying to pass thru which will require all businesses in IL to accept cash as it unfairly hurts poorer people who want to keep money out of the banks, or who are unable to open a bank account due to other financial hardships. Not to mention not wanting every financial transaction they have tracked by the government or subject to a data breach and stolen CC info like what happened with Starbucks, Target, and Home Depot recently.

Was LITERALLY my favorite coffee shop ever. Would go to work and after eyelash appointment. However the last 3 times I went they have been out of oat milk and it’s the only milk I can have. I’m just really confused how a coffee shop keeps running out of oat milk and why they aren’t placing bigger orders. The person before and after me also was confused on this and asking for oat milk and just got black bc none of us can have other milk? I asked if they plan on improving this and they were like so lost with what to do?

Ordered a burrito, mocha and pumpkin spiced latte. Mocha was average, latte tasteless. The burrito was disappointing. Expecting for the $$ a product that was made on the grill but instead got something similar to Star*** pre-made (from a plastic wrap) but at twice the price.

Delicious!! Perfect area to work/study with an amazing coffee menu! Such a big selection, it took me awhile to choose. I also ordered the burrito (which I totally recommend )
