Exceptional experience all around. The turkey sandwich was truly the best I've ever had and the iced coffee was phenomenal. They even have coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down. It was these thoughtful details that made Spill the Beans one of the best cafes I've been to in the city. I would 100% recommend!
I always enjoy the atmosphere here and the energy I get walking in. I appreciate the culture that resignates in this Cafe. I love the food and hope that as the business grows there can be some accompanying sides for the dishes. (Chips and dip, bread, side salad, chickpeas). As amazing as the dishes are, it can be a financial hit that feels like a 2-piece meal without the fries and biscuit.
Thank you all for your commitment and I hope to see the community pour into it to claim it as the space we all deserve to have steps away from home.
We arrived as strangers and left feeling like family. The atmosphere at Spill the Beans Café is truly special—it's filled with openness and a sense of freedom. The beautiful aesthetics really reflect the owners' heartfelt dedication to creating a welcoming space. We had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people during our visit. The food was fantastic; we enjoyed shrimp wraps, chicken wraps, orange juice, and some delightful homemade cakes and cookies. We are really looking forward to returning soon. If you're in the Chicago, Illinois area, I highly recommend stopping by Urban Essentials Café or Spill the Beans! Ask for the owner Ronnie

Brown sugar latte is delicious, atmosphere is welcoming and well decorated, staff is very kind
First time there, the barista was super nice and had great recommendations. The prices were fair the latte was tasty and my favorite part was the coffee ice, such a great idea!
Service is out of this world, super friendly and attentive staff! I had vegan chili and a veggie baked potato both were flavorful and delicious. What’s better on a cold Chicago day! I will be back.
Nestled in the heart of the Austin Community Spill the Beans is a delightful addition that truly uplifts our neighborhood. As a resident of this vibrant, often overlooked area, I was eager to explore what this coffee shop had to offer, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich and coffee. I look forward to returning very soon.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Spill the Beans, a fantastic black-owned coffee shop that truly embodies the spirit of community. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth that made me feel right at home.
The coffee was really good. I ordered an iced hazelnut coffee, and it was delicious! The ice cubes are made of coffee!
The service was wonderful. It felt like more than just a transaction; it was a meaningful connection that made my visit even more special.
The atmosphere of Spill the Beans is another highlight. The space is beautifully decorated with cozy seating that invites you to linger a little longer. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time, whether you're working, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with your coffee.
Supporting black-owned businesses is important to me. I left feeling uplifted, inspired, and eager to return. If you’re looking for a great cup of coffee in a welcoming environment, I wholeheartedly recommend making your way to Spill the Beans. You won’t be disappointed!

Service and ambiance were excellent. Rodney really makes an amazing latte! Great space for work meetings. Very high ceilings with beautiful natural light all around. It's a welcome community spot. The variety of coffee beans is impressive. I'm going to have to come back to try them all. I'm definitely coming back. Try the hazelnut latte!

I absolutely adore this coffeeshop!
Excellent place to work quietly or just relax with a cup of fresh brewed beans.
Staff is super friendly and accommodating and they can make any specialty cup of coffee you like.
My favorite so far is the Iced Latte with French Vanilla Milk, Honeyblend and Coffee Ice. Yes! They offer ice made of coffee!
I drank it so fast I forgot to take a pic but just know it was good down to the last drop ?. I'll definitely be back again, and I highly recommend trying them out if you're in the area.
