50 Best Coffee Shops near Forest View

“The BEST coffee anywhere at a reasonable price.“

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“My Saturday rest day go to delivery! Best iced mocha latte, empanada, and Cuban sandwich I've ever had... The beignets are also fantastic. 10/10 would recommend!“

“loved everything about it!“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“Hands down the best breakfast sandwich in Chicago. Homemade bagels with homemade sausage, made to order eggs. Or you can have it on their fresh croissants which are also some of the best in the city. The dedication to quality is very apparent here. Also their hot chocolate and matcha cannot get any better. This is a must try for any Chicago foodie.“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“Super chill, artsy, fun place to get some coffee, slow down and lose track of time for awhile.“

“I’m in love with this place and the people working there are sweet and nice I’m addicted“

“The space is big and beautiful with lots of natural light and cool views outside! Their croissant breakfast sandwich was a nice big portion and tasted delicious. Love the location behind the Chicago Park District headquarters so you could go for a stroll or check out the park and recreational fields afterwards.“

“Moonwalker is our favorite neighborhood cafe! They have the best sandwiches both for breakfast and lunch and such delicious lattes, the banana bread latte is to die for. All only made better by their incredible staff!“

“I have been purchasing the Hard Scrabble espresso coffee beans from Whole Foods for several years and it is my favorite bean locally roasted. Visiting the shop was a great experience, having them make the same espresso shot that I make at home and it did not disappoint. We love the extra space for hanging out in the back too. Lastly, these prices appear to be from when they opened many years ago! Thank you for your efforts to keep coffee affordable!!“

“Excellent coffee and empanadas, delighted owners/staff, easy street parking. Support small and local!“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“I enjoyed horror trivia with my london fog!“

“I’ve had great experiences here on multiple occasions. It’s a cool vibe overall and baseline worth a visit given the fact that it’s one of three Guinness open gate breweries in the world. Beyond that, there’s great beer & food, solid service, and ample space (which isn’t easy to come by in west loop). Definitely recommend!“

“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).“

“Had been to milli by metric a few days prior and looked forward to coming here. Vibe was very relaxing, staff was really cool, and overall just super great to be there. We don't wait long in line and got to take in the interior designs ( which are just *chefs kiss*). It was a great morning with a ham sussie, paradise bun, chai latte, with some chocolate macaron to go. The chocolate macarons were amazing and was so glad I had gotten them to eat throughout the day. Chai latte had the perfect notes and loved the contrast it had with the ham sussie that I was eating“

“Delicious fresh Thai cuisine. Staff is friendly and the space is beautiful!“

“Amazing service and vibe. The chicken pot pie is addicting. My nephew is visiting since my mom had surgery in Rockford. I picked up pot pies the last 3 Saturdays to take to Rockford and they cannot get enough.

Also, I am now officially a grits fan thanks to Bang Bang Pie 😍“

“I’ve been loving Loba’s pineapple sourdough muffins. They are beyond delicious! I’m not vegan, but these vegan pastries are life changing! I also am a big fan of their cold brew. This Christmas, I decided to try their take-n-bake kouign-amann; and OMG my family and I were IN LOVE with the Ham & Gruyere kouign-amann! I will need to reorder this again next year!! 100% recommend!“

“Best coffee shop I have found so far! Delicious matcha and pastries. The tea selection is also great.“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“After hearing about Omarcito’s from Triple D, we had to try it. The owner, Omar, is hilarious and has a great personality. He greeted everyone as they walked up and held genuine conversations. My husband and I ordered a few different items, and we were not disappointed. The ingredients are fresh and you could tell the meat is marinated because it was super tender. This place is a must!!“

“Say YES to pastry! In CHI from Portland Oregon and this was the perfect stop to pickup a delicious drip coffee and we tried the Olive cake pastry - YUMMY!!! Very small shop with little seating that we saw. Amazingly simple elegant and delicious with hints of almond and a cake texture from the olives which makes for a perfect start to the day. Recommended.“

“Such a great visit in October, but would be great year round! The atmosphere was a little spooky and very cozy, and the chocolate chip cookie and Limoncello Spritz were delicious. Service was nice, quick, and personable. A little cold in the place, but besides that no complaints!“
