50 Best Coffee Shops near Bedford Park

“This was my first time at this location. This was next closest one from 74th and Cicero where I was shopping and 74th was out of lemonade for medicine ball. The batista wasn't busy and I received a perfect drink exactly how I wanted. This was hidden gem opposed to extremely busy one on 74th and Cicero.“

“I love food! This was my first chance at dining at The Girl and the Goat and it did not disappoint. My first time back in Chicago in almost 2 decades and made reservations in quite a few Michelin restaurants and this has been such a surprise find. We started with the chickpea and naan as well as the liver mousse. We could have stopped there and I would have been confident to declare TGATG my new favorite restaurant, but course after course it just got better. The staff was amazing, Haley,Manuel, and Shea were remarkable, it was such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re going to limit yourself, don’t miss the braised short rib. It was spicy and unctuous and Asian inspired. I could’ve eaten that plate all by myself, however I would definitely recommend going with a group and sharing everything. This is a 10. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time.“

“There is such a chill vibe and multiple spaces to enjoy outdoor RN there's even a doggy parking lot. I love the family nature of this business and it is a black owned family owned business with top quality service and fresh ingredients. I just wish they stayed open longer so I can spend more money with them.“

“This is my second time here at chi tiva. I visit the location downtown first and second time at the Worth, IL location. My experience completely different from the first time around. I visit location downtown informing workers my first time how they offered to let us sample slushy flavors nice jester….they did not inform me of dosage and explain how it may possibly affect first timer. With that being said I ordered 50mg coffee taking a few sips and telling my sister she immediately told me to go back to check out and order a 10mg let them know it was my first time. I can say my experience second time around at the Worth location with Lori she greeted us and explained everything we were interested in getting letting us know dosages and tolerance level. I mentioned at the end I really appreciate her customer service and explaining super knowledgeable. I told myself I would probably not come back but this experience definitely worth coming back when in town. Thank you!“

“I am sure that you will love to hear the story behind what is today La Malinche Coffee and Tea. And I think it's important to support local small businesses. BTW.. The apple Brie is my favorite panini there.. sweet and salty at the same time.“

“I brought my 4 and 1-year-old here and we all loved it! We tried the sushi, the noodles, the donut, the carrot cake, and a juice and it was all really tasty and filling. I definitely recommend this restaurant to any vegan as well as any non-vegan.Dietary restrictions: It’s gluten-free, vegan, mostly raw with some cooked items. Low sugar.Kid-friendliness: Fun music, bright and natural light, yummy options“

“check this quaint place out and try on of their fresh pies on rotation paired with an egg sandwich and old fashioned root beer float (or any flavored soda). or maybe you want something quick like a cortado (in a glass cup!) and a scone. mmmm blueberry scoooon.breakfast snackfast fastsugar - they have something for you“

“Charming little ice cream place. Kids thought the ice cream was great, and there are non dairy options. One person in our group ordered coffee that was forgotten, and when she checked back with the cashier, the cashier asked to see a receipt for proof, I guess.“

“Best Venezuelan food i tried in Chicago(after my wifes,she is Venezuelan too)!!!We had some empanadas and llanera(skirt steak,cheese and guacamole) and they are super delicious,what i like the most is that food is not grease.Latte that we tried compliments the foodPeople who work here are fiendly and knowledgeable about the menu.I would recommend you to come to this place if you are not in a hurry,just to sit,relax,drink your coffee and enjoy some good food.Rating wise yes this place is a legit 5☆?“

“I am obsessed with this place.I’ve tried so many croissants here and I’m always blown away. I haven’t found another croissant in Chicago that compares to the ones here.The coffee is some of the best in Chicago.The ambience is so cute too. In the back you can watch them make chocolate.I met the manager here and she is so sweet and gave me all the Chicago recommendations I haven’t tried.I’ll be spending so much of my time hereFor more coffee reviews following my Instagram: Audrey.Pulliam“

“Loved the ambience, their milk cakes are amazing. I wish I could try them all but maybe next time. They serve the famous Yemeni Adeni chai but their flavour is not as great as Qahwah House. We also tried their Bischoff cheesecake which was decent.“

“We just visited the brand new Wicker Park location on Pierce around the corner from the Damen Blue Line stop. The pastries we tried (pistachio croissant and various biscotti) were incredible. The staff and owner Ciro were so welcoming in their new beautiful establishment. So many delicious authentic Italian options to choose from!“

“Love the atmosphere here.Definitely has a dark matter lounge type vibe, but upgrades the experience with free play video games for all. Went on a Saturday morning and there was a DJ spinning jazz Christmas vinyl. How can you beat that?Dietary restrictions: Decaf and alternative milk options available“

“This was a hidden gem to me. It is a great sunlit spot for everyone in the village. This felt welcoming and warm. Let me tell you about the coffee, spectacular. I felt like I was back in Paris! The only draw back is too many choices and all delicious. Plus the staff knows they are the best…thanks Kelsey (who is my new bestie ?) for the info about everything being good, you were right!!“

“The cafe is small but super cute and v aesthetic I had a banana crepe to-go and a small latte, super delicious! ? I hope they add more of a variety to their menu soon like something Latino ?? They speak Spanish which is very helpful since my dad only speaks Spanish. Will definitely be back ?✨“

“A charming coffee shop with a colorful and aesthetic interior design. They offer a great selection of specialty lattes, and I was pleased with the quality of the pour-over I ordered. There are plenty of tables and bar seating available which make for a great spot for laptop working/studying.“

“This is my new favorite spot in La Grange! It is located east of Noodles and Co. on Calendar. It is quite small, but a great place to pick up healthy smoothies and bowls. Most things are dairy free, or vegan. I particularly love their soups! Try them out. The staff is also extremely friendly.“

“as an ex-career barista, i’m what most would could consider a coffee snob. i’m just particular about what i want out of my coffee and i can just make it at home. i rarely get coffee out because of this but engine is like 1 of 3 shops i’ll go to in the city. good, simple, quality coffee.“

“Spunky shop in a gritty part of town. No inside seating and it was way too cold to sit on the patio this morning, so unfortunately I was in and out quick and didn’t talk to the baristas cuz they looked busy. But I really liked the urban hipster look and feel (and fun branding) especially given the rough neighborhood location. And they roast their own beans so the coffee was bold.“

“I be doing doordash n uber eats, I've been getting orders from there for a while, today I decided to order me some food got me the steak jibarito that comes with arroz con gandules and some sauce on the side n let me sayyy it was delicious, I even got me the chicken empanada n I used the sauce from the jibarito on it n omgggg sooo good. I even got a Pina colada n omg heaven. And the service was awesome everyone so nice and also lots of things to look at while u wait they have a lil boutique. Totally recommend will be coming back“

“Because of the Starbucks boycott I decided to try local coffee shops instead. That's when I found this amazing place – it's cozy, and what makes it special is that they make their own syrups that give each cup a unique taste. The coffee beans they use are fresh. But the real standout is the customer service.The staff goes out of their way to make sure they perfected your coffee. Switching from a big chain like Starbucks to this friendly coffee spot has been a really nice change. I recommend it to anyone who loves real coffee and a friendly atmosphere.“

“Very friendly lady (reminded me of my grandma) in the front to greet you. Cute little local coffee shop. With great prices after COVID especially. Most coffee shops around Chicago area have raised their prices so was nice to spend less. Obviously i support small business' raising their prices to survive. That's life. I ordered a dirty chai and it was great! Great coffee. However was a bit sweet but that was my fault for rushing to the bathroom and not talking to the kind lady about what sweetness I wanted. ALSO the bathroom is very CLEAN. It was like a home bathroom. Please others keep it clean as well :)“

“VietFive exceeded any expectation I could have for a coffee shop. Passion exudes from every corner of this business - from the merchandise, the store design, the employees, and most importantly the products. Their Vietnamese coffee tastes amazing with a process you can see done for yourself. No Cafe du Monde bite here, as they collect beans direct from Vietnam. The banh mi empanada and the ube donuts also make for some great eating! You will be doing yourself a favor by stopping in and being part of what will surely be a successful coffee enterprise that changes the narrative on what makes a coffee shop exceptional. You’ll go for the coffee and stay for the vibe. Do yourself a favor and check them out!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“I came to visit Chicago for a weekend with this on my list and I would've been happy if it was the only thing I did the whole time. This coffee reset my standards too high. So delicious. So sweet. Petitioning for them to expand to the east coast.“

“Salam alaikum,I just wanted to give a shoutout to your Café staff. I visited for the first time last week on Tuesday and had some coffee and honey cake—absolutely delicious! The team was incredibly friendly and professional. I've been to other Yemeni Cafés before, but yours stands out as the best so far. Although I don't live nearby, I'll definitely make another trip to Orland Park, and this time with friends.All the best!“

“This spot is the real deal. If you’re looking for high quality coffee in Chicago, don’t miss it! I visited Chicago this weekend and was already planning to go, but several shops I went to beforehand sold their coffee, so the hype only grew. Didn’t disappoint in the least. Bought some of their beans.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Chicago! Cafe Jumping Bean coffers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a tasty pastry. The friendly staff creates a welcoming environment, and the coffee is consistently delicious. Whether you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a place to enjoy a Sunday morning coffee, Cafe Jumping Bean delivers a satisfying experience every time. Great establishment with reasonable prices!“

“I chose to venture to Ground Up Coffee & Bites based off one of my local free s’s recommendations and I was not disappointed! They have seating both along the window and at the coffee bar, it was the perfect temperature inside, they have free WiFi for customers, and I always appreciate a healthy looking coffee shop plant.The cashier let me know that the three different sizes have different amounts of espresso; small has 1.5 shots, medium (16oz) has 2 shots, and large has 3 shots.For the espresso, I recommend ordering it with Half-Light so that you get the light roasted espresso beans. It makes a smooth and balanced hot oat milk latte that you’re sure to enjoy when it’s cold outside, and it was my perfect companion for my chilly walk back. The Half-Light is their Pure Gold Espresso Roast; an inviting front, smooth mouthfeel, with a subtle zesty finish to seal the deal. A broad, balanced, and deep cup with a rich, nut-milk body and riesling acidity. Base tasting notes of black cherry-chocolate mousse are complemented with honey and almond for a blancmange finish. You can also just simply order any espresso-based drink with the light roast and the staff will know what you are looking for. It’s a little extra for oat milk and the light roast, but it’s worth it.The barista Osama was hilarious and made a perfectly balanced oat latte. He truly made me feel welcome and seemed so genuinely grateful that I chose to purchase today’s coffee there; his hospitality makes me want to return again and again.The theme is black and shiny gold, being the colors the walls are painted to the custom retail bags. I enjoyed the motivation printed on the back side of the retail coffee bag displayed, which read:Remember why.Why you filled your tank on the way home.Why you picked your outfit and prepared lunch the night before.Remember why.Your why is an unparalleled standard and how you go about your pursuit should be no different.Rise & Grind's why is how you fuel yours.Truly crafted for purpose.A lively beginning, peppy core, and natural urbane demeanor.Just like you.“

“Clean spot with amazing drinks. I thought the spicy chicken avocado wrap (pictured) was nasty (the texture reminded me of canned tuna) but the breakfast bagel (consumed before a pic could be taken) and the Mexican Mocha and Cafe de Olla latte were amazing.“

“I love this coffee shop. They were friendly, they knew me by name, and their coffee and specialty drinks are tasty. I also really enjoyed their Avacado toast. It was absolutely delicious. It is refreshing to go to a locally own coffee shop, that has a wonderful atmosphere, and great prices too. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone in the area.“

“Nectar is a really great local hidden gem for healthy eats and drinks. Great place to work remotely and kind staff. I always enjoy grabbing a Green Smoothie before my commute to work as well, great way to start the day! I’m definitely a returning customer.Update: Coffee here is really good as well!“

“I've loved this place ever since I first came here in 2015. It's cozy, there's always seating even in the winter when a lot of cafes are packed (it's usually busy when I come but they just have a lot more space than some cafes), the treats are good and so is the coffee and it's WAY more affordable than most Chicago cafes too. The baristas are always friendly and direct and helpful too. Whenever I bring people here they have great things to say about it. I've also bought multiple hoodies here for family members, cuz the merch section is equally good. Long live Jackalope!“

“This has to be the best hidden gem for coffee. If you like the coffeehouse vibe, you’re going to love this place. Drinks are on point, service is quick, people are friendly. Looking forward to experiencing the live music and other events scheduled here. Personally I love that I can work here instead of from home. Great addition to the area. Just keep my pistachio latte with oak milk available. Haha“

“Absolutely love new Filipino restaurants popping up in the area. Street parking, open early and through dinner. Fireplace by the front windows, multiple drinks and foods available. Handicap entrance, but the counter to order has stairs so I'm not sure how that is handled.My wife and I went early morning on a weekday as soon as they opened. Limited seating inside, but we were able to get out items quickly. Filipino breakfast is served all day but it is very expensive for their servings. We got the longanisa (2pc) and spam (1pc) combo and it was around 10 after tax, but compared to Uncle Mike's around the corner, their portion seemed like an appetizer. I ordered an Ube latte. I took the pistachio milk (cost extra) vs whole milk. I was surprised and happy to see the it was not overly sweetened for a latte or an Ube drink. It's was more creamy from the milk and very subtle Ube flavor. The milk almost masks the purple potato flavor.I noticed that their lattes depend on their espresso machine. Unfortunately it produces one at a time so during rush hours, expect a wait.“

“Ordered for takeout and vegan sandwich was so delicious! Super filling, and I loved the latte as well. Service was accommodating and gave me a free brownie with my order. I appreciate it and hope to dine in the near future. They have good deals on Uber Eats.Vegetarian options: They have vegan sandwiches and burgers, fries, non-dairy milk alternatives, etc“

“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!“

“My server demi was very attentive and got everything right in my very detail difficult order I always have crazy requests and she meet every need of mine. She was quick with getting us drinks and made us feel like we were the only ones in the in the restaurant even tho it was very busy and packed. She definitely deserves all the stars and the food is excellent there I got the biscuits and gravy and ciabatta sunrise sandwich they were both so good and full of flavor! I just want to say she made the experience worth it to come back again and again. I request her every time.“

“I stumbled upon this cafe yesterday while walking in Pilsen. I ordered a lavender latte, and let me tell you… it was the BEST lavender latte I have ever tried! I loved the cafe’s decor as well and it was very clean. The staff/owner was super friendly and inviting. I am looking forward to my next visit to Mandala Cafe soon! ?“

“Live out of state now but still my favorite coffee place, and try to stop by whenever I’m in town. Also their service is fantastic, I spoke with someone at the mothership, Brian, on the phone who was kind enough to help me with a specialty online order. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Bad Owl is my absolute favorite coffee spot! The cozy vibes and exceptional service won me over instantly. The team there goes above and beyond, and let me tell you, the food is a delightful surprise – they really know how to make your coffee experience special.“

“Very good place to have a breakfast or eat delicious coffee, reasonable prices, the only thing I didn't like is that they put their own tip. My family of 15 people went to lunch and they tipped $45 when I was prepared to leave them $100, but then they They put it to shame.“

“The best! I am so picky when it comes to coffee and this place NEVER does me wrong. Literally every time i am greeted with the best customer service staff and the drinks taste so awesome like they actually take their time and make them with love. This is definitely spot that you will not be dissapointed. keep in mind during weekends morning can get a little busy <3 But overall its a 10/10 DID i mention they have the cutest decoration and free parking ??????“

“Everything’s fresh and expertly prepared and served in a family-run, family-friendly food gem. A real surprise are the Indian meals that you can pick up to cook at home. Beverly Bakery does the traditional bakery baking and delicious flat top breakfasts as well as anyone but no one on the south side can make Indian food as good as theirs - a real treat and a very welcomed surprise. Well-traveled Chicagoans hope they add samosas and pakora to take home to go along with the tasty Chicken Hariyali and the Aloo Gobi!Beverly/Morgan Park: start your taste buds and expand your culinary expectations! Beverly Bakery will make it happen. ?“

“Best coffee shop in all Oak Park, IL, I do like the place, the atmosphere, the coffee is really really good, you should go, have some pastries or croissants. I recommend The Coffee although they have tea and other beverages. I highly recommend this place.The service is outstanding, smooth“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“Been looking for a Columbia-style coffee spot since I left Salt Lake City and I finally found it. Dope setup here everyone was super friendly and had all my favorites plus the pastries. Got the Macchiato and it was excellent 9.2. Will be back they had my almond croissant I'm definitely need to hit up the next trip...overall 9.4.“

“LOVE the Brazilian empanadas here & the pao de queijo! All the empanada flavors are delish & I love the crust but some of my favorites include: beef, chicken, ham & cheese & the breakfast ones. I also get the Brazilian lemonade. Place is clean, bright & cheery & I had great service today. This is a favorite for me & I travel here just to get the empanadas & pao de queijo.“

“This is such a sweet little bakery! They have beautiful cakes and pastries, as well as smoothies, coffee, tea, and breakfast sandwiches! I absolutely love the croissant breakfast sandwich! The staff are super friendly and helpful every time I come in!Parking: Paid street parking along Division or free street parking on side streets“
