Such a cute building, friendly staff, but that was the worst coffee I’ve ever had. It tasted burnt, watery, and barely had any milk for a latte and an up charge for oat milk. The muffin was also just okay. Recommend the building for the walking tour but skip the over priced bad coffee

This place is worth the stop! Whether you are visiting Pullman National Historical Park, in the area, or driving nearby, this is the place to stop for a coffee break. Great coffee, teas and other drinks, as well as bakery treats like muffins and donuts. But the atmosphere really seals the deal. The shop is in a restored Pullman executive home, right across from the NPS site, with cozy common seating areas, lots of books to peruse, and historic artifacts from the historic district. The shop raises money for the Pullman House Project, a non-profit in the same building that provides guided tours of period Pullman homes. Between the NPS location, the Pullman House Project tour and then a coffee after, it's a great afternoon plan!

Lovely and knowledgeable staff, beautifully restored interior. I had a nice coffee and muffin.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wheelchair ramp. There are a lot of steps from the street parking to the door however, if you have challenges.

Six or seven years ago for job related reasons I moved to this quaint community on the far south side of Chicago near where I had attended high school many years before, called Historic Pullman. What a hidden gem! A few years later my job required that I move back to my original home (3rd move in three years--argggg) but I remained somewhat connected to the community by serving as chairman of the Pullman Community Center about a mile away. Much to my surprise they've opened a wonderful coffee shop around the corner from the National Park's Pullman National Historical Park Visitor Center. The coffee is really good and brewed by the cup, The ambience is warm and inviting. In the summer the outdoor patio space will prove I am certain to be a relaxing space. There is plenty of room to sit and eat muffins and enjoy good coffee or a wide variety of juices and sparkling water, with a "history room" in which the history of George Pullman and the Pullman Community plays on a video loop. The neighborhood local residents run this establishment making it a perfectly nostalgic experience. I highly commend the Shymanski's, McMahons, and Jim Badali for creating an absolutely wonderful coffee shop.

What a wonderful addition to the Pullman NP area. Wonderful home with historic decor. Very kind barista who creates delicious coffee and tea drinks. It is a welcome stop after a cold day walking around Pullman. So glad these buildings are being restored. Such a treasure to the city. We will be back to tour the Pullman homes.
Coffee and pastries are good
