I cannot speak for the quality of the coffee products here, but I DO NOT recommend the Citrus Sweet Tea. My expectation was that it would be something like a normal tea blended with lemonade, but this was not the case. Frankly, Im not convinced there was tea of any kind in my cup. The citrus in question consisted of lemon zest floating around at the bottom of my drink. Every sip I took sent another chewy piece of lemon peel through my straw. Is it really that high a bar to expect that I wont have to chew my drink? The rest of the drink, as far as I could tell, was just water. Water and the tiniest bit of sweetener, which I was told was honey. The end result was something just barely edible, and I should hope I never have the misfortune of having this misbegotten concoction find its way into my mouth again. The drink itself, I give one star. I give the establishment itself a bit more credit, since I could appreciate the atmosphere as well as the friendly politeness of the staff. However, my initial impression has soured me on the place, and I have my doubts Id be willing to give it a second chance. To those who do intend to go here, order anything other than the Citrus Sweet Tea.

Awesome new, high-end coffee spot in downtown Highland Park, IL, just a block from the Metra station. Head and shoulders above your Starbucks/Peets/Caribou/Dunkin et. al. in terms of flavor and quality. Seriously the best tasting cup of coffee Ive had in years. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, passionate about the product and the store is clean and inviting. Up your coffee game and try a french press, chem ex, pour over, or cold brew style--pick your own beans as they grind them fresh and prepare the drink right in front of you. My new go-to spot for a killer cup of joe.

I cant say enough how much Ive fallen in love with this place. The owners are an adorable couple that have designed and built all their furniture on their own! They even roast their own coffee! Its a great and convenient location, the coffee tastes great, they provide excellent customer service, and are very knowledgeable about their coffee. Its an awesome place to grab coffee, meet with friends, or study. Needless to say, I am a very impressed and happy customer!

Beautiful family owned shop. Nice to go to an independently owned store where you can meet the owners who put their heart and soul into the designing the shop, building the furniture and even hand painted the Coffee Belt artwork on the wall. The coffee was delicious and priced less than the "chain" competitor. Go try it out, welcome the new owners to the community; I think you will be back again and again.

Great tasting coffee! I love the atmosphere and the vibes of this place. Service is awesome, not to mention the variety of home roasted bean selections. Americano was flavorful and deep. Brought home a bag of the golden blend. Super excited for my new go to coffee shop!

Great little place in the heart of downtown Highland Park. A few things I look for in a great coffee spot is: - Variety of coffee beans for every palette - Wifi - Power outlets - Relaxed atmosphere This place has it all. Definitely coming back.

Great espresso, it was well balanced not to acidic or bitter. The cold brew latte was just a cold brew with milk in it, nothing to write home about. The internet is a bit slow but the environment is nice and pretty quiet. Id go back.

Classic coffee house environment. A good cup of coffee. Definitely worth the visit. I have a feeling their coffee options are going to expand with time.

I dont understand how there could be a 1 star review complaining about the 5 star reviews if its not even open yet. Great coffee, though.

This is a great coffee house. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. You have to try their nitro coffee.
