Small-batch coffee, roasted weekly in the heart of Gurnee
We're a neighborhood café and roaster where the beans are fresh, the pastries come out of the oven each morning, and there's always a warm seat waiting for you.
What we serve every day
From your first cup to your afternoon treat, everything here is made with care and served with a smile.
We roast in small batches every week, so the coffee in your cup is never more than a few days from the roaster.
Croissants, scones, muffins and more come out of our oven each morning — perfect alongside a latte or drip.
Love what you tasted? Take a bag home. Whole bean or ground to order, roasted right here in Gurnee.
Roasted here, roasted weekly
Great coffee starts with fresh coffee. That's why we roast in small batches on-site, dialing in each roast to bring out the best in every origin.
Whether you like a bright, fruity pour-over or a rich, chocolatey espresso, you'll taste the difference that fresh makes.
