We moved to EP recently and we’re so happy to find a non-chain coffee place. It was a huge bonus that they have GF options that are really good! Muffins and breakfast sandwiches especially the Express train are delicious. The ambiance is cool and chill. The service is great. Would love to see them get a better oat milk cream.

This was a private event not catered by them, but the food was excellent. Mostacioli, chicken marsala, arugula and goat cheese salad with garlic bread.

Fun place where to get a good coffee - food is not great to be honest, kind of canteen like - and spend some time playing board games.

I found this cute little coffee shop via Yelp and decided to try it as it was on my radar for a while.The place is located in downtown Park Ridge parallel to the Metra station. The coffee shop is adjacent to Beer on the Wall, but it seems like the coffee shop is its own business.When I first entered, I found the ambience to be an interesting mix of pub/cafe due to the brick walls, dim warm lighting, and hushed voices. The entrance, while small and cramped, has a wheelchair accessible ramp. The back of the cafe opens into a space decorated with small booths and tables. I appreciated the large wall dedicated exclusively to board games. I could see myself and a couple of friends having a grand old time as a result.However, the place for me wasn't anything too spectacular, and I'd extend the feeling to their menu and coffee selection. I got a hot 16oz rose latte and a breakfast sandwich, totalling $12. I don't believe my purchase was worth the price as the latte itself wasn't anything unique to Off The Wall, and the breakfast sandwich - sausage, bacon, and cheese on a toasted English muffin - was dry and about the size of my palm.I'm glad I finally visited Off the Wall. While it's not my cup of joe, I do see and understand the appeal.

Coffee was great, and the girl who took my order was super sweet...however: when I ordered there was only one person ahead of me. I had asked for two lattes to - go. The others were for sitting there. The girl making tbe coffees took a really long time to make the orders ahead of me..and in between decided to make coffees for the staff.. when I asked where my coffees were, she just said "oh I have one more then it's you". She made the person who ordered AFTER me their drinks first even though they were sitting in the cafe. The other two girls behind the counter were just talking to each other about random things, not seeminf to want to help at the third girl at all.Now if you have a "to go" order, wouldn't you think that the order should be made a bit quicker? I waited at least 20 minutes... I understand that these girls are probably high school girls and don't really care about their job, but it gives a bad vibe to the customers.Maybe I just ended up going on an "off" day, so I would love to go back to see of any improvements.

My boyfriend and I went to grab coffee here for his birthday before the events we had planned for the day, and it was the best time! The food was delicious, the coffee was amazing and we played one of the many board games they had to offer. I def recommend!

Wonderful local coffee spot! My sister and I found it during a weekend trip and went more than once because we enjoyed the coffee/food options and the atmosphere.Menu is a good mix of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Pictured is the Quiet Car, which tasted very good!Staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming and unique. There are a variety of board games available for guests to check out and play.

I work remotely for a company in Silicon valley and come here occasionally when I'm sick of my home office. Good service. Food is good but limited. It can get crowded and the noise levels can be a bit much for working remotely sometimes but usually a nice atmosphere for working remotely away from home.
