Found this little gem! ✨ I ordered a 12oz latte with sugar-free vanilla and an extra shot of espresso (I love my lattes with two shots), and it was so good — perfectly balanced and comforting. Even though it’s sugar-free, the vanilla still tastes pleasantly sweet.
My boyfriend got a cortado, and it was great too. Not sweetened, but a solid, classic choice.
I really appreciate a good latte that doesn’t just taste like milk, and this one delivered. I can tell they use quality coffee and perfectly extracted espresso. The space itself was nice and inviting as well.
Definitely keeping this place in mind whenever I’m in Des Plaines and need a pick-me-up.

Brew Coffee Lab has become one of my favorite spots to get coffee when I land at O'Hare Chicago. It is located in the Metra train station in downtown Des Plaines. They have a variety of drink and food options. I have tried several items and I am always pleasantly surprised with their menu. This time we got the caramel praline latte, brown sugar dolce latte, and a cinnamon and sugar croffle. It was hot and delicious!! My only issue is not with the shop, but the parking. We usually have to find street parking across the street and walk over. Not a deal breaker for such good coffee and food. Highly recommend for coffee lovers!!

I got an Oatmilk Latte and it take like oat milk, no coffee flavor at all. All i can taste is Kirkland signature oatmilk. The people at the counter are nice. Super disappointed.

Wow what a hidden gem! Came in from the city on a cold morning in between a few errands and was PLEASANTLY surprised. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s in a Metro station, the drinks and food here are so good at amazing prices. I had “The Meg” sandwich and was blown away by the quality of the sandwich and the price. Definitely worth stopping in to grab a bit to eat and a coffee (I had the Uber latte, also v good).

I’ve tried a few coffee places, but this one remains a favorite. Especially for its price point, Brew always gives decent portions/sizes and quality that you can actually taste. I’m picky with my coffees and matchas, but I’ve yet to be disappointed by a drink from Brew.
+ their staff is always so kind. they make sure your drink is to your liking at that they can serve as quick as possible!

Every worker has been wonderful and kind. I often ask for water because I'd be running or it'd be a hot day and they always comply and help me out. Their other drinks are pretty good, a bit pricey, but worth it if you're waiting for the train.
I haven't tried their foods but it always looks good and I always see people trying it out. It unfortunately is at Des Plaines train station, so the atmosphere is not the best, but thats outside of their control. I always feel safe when I'm around this spot.

WOW WOW WOW!!!
The best coffee, hands down!!
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, the ube latte makes any bad day, better and any good day, great! I absolutely am addicted, tell everyone about this place, and know I’ll keep coming back!
It is located in the train station, so be ready for busy lines!
Street parking is free, just be careful when walking across the street.

Place is amazing!! Coffee is out of this world!! The staff is very helpful, kind and have great recommendations. Love coming here!
I stop here for a quick coffee Hazelnut drip as I was pressed for time , the young man from behind the counter appeared to be somewhat new because he ask to ask about the flavor, the coffee was cold very cold, but I had to go... The next day approached the employee just to let him know the coffee was cold ,very cold the manager was present at this time they both could had cared less, I even told them I wasn't looking for nothing free, but that they could had at least apologized, but I won't be back 🏃♂️🏃♂️
