9 Best Coffee Roasters near Highland Park

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“Hooray for local coffee shops and businesses. Astra is a wonderful coffee shop in the heart of the Ravinia District that always has a handful of neighbors out front during the warmer months. It’s also a great place to bring your laptop and to get some work done.“

“I come here because they do pour-overs. Really Good pour-overs. (If they're busy, multi-tasking staff may miss the correcting timing so the extractions are suboptimal and may alter the taste in the negative.) But still a great coffee - I'm nitpicking.

I enjoy this more than the other places in Libertyville because the barista's really know their products - every one I've talked with has been able to discuss each coffee with knowledge that helps me learn. And oh so friendly, nice people who work there.

Pastry choices are limited, so-so in taste, and too sugary for me (donuts, muffins) They could use some nice croissants, chocolate croissants, morning buns, etc. If they partnered with Hewn Bakery it would be perfect. (I will often get coffee to go, and bring my own Hewn to eat outside at the benches.)“

“Absolutely love Tala. I firstly want to emphasize how friendly the staff is. They've helped me many times as a new-to-coffee drinker and are always very accommodating. The menu features many classics but their specials menu is where it's at, and rotates throughout the year. But their matcha is the best and has officially made me a matcha lover. Also love their small but delicious baked goods options, which include gluten free muffins! Great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and typically quiet atmosphere with easy parking, but can get quite busy at peak times, especially weekends.“

“Wild roasters have one of the best-roasted coffee in town. They make sure everything is freshly made and is served to perfection. Highly recommended and a must-try.“

“Amazing lattes in a posh environment! Love this place!!!“

“Yummy. Delicious and healthy“

“I’m pretty new to espresso in general, and the Nespresso store at Old Orchard has been such an incredible experience from day one. I’ve been in the store three times now, and every visit I’m met with some of the most knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely helpful people—especially Price and Eli.

They’ve taken the time to educate me, help troubleshoot my machine, and open my eyes to a whole new world of coffee. Because of them, I’m now officially a die-hard Nespresso fan.

In a time when so many retail experiences can feel rushed or impersonal—and when people are turning more and more to online ordering—this is the kind of store that actually makes you want to come in. They walk you through the options, explain everything clearly, let you sample different coffees, and truly provide a level of service that no website, AI, or computer ever could.

I’ve tried other espresso brands, and honestly, nothing beats Nespresso. The quality and flavors are incredible, and the experience at this store makes it even better. Huge thanks to Price and Eli for being so patient and passionate about what they do.

Keep up the great work—I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending the Old Orchard location to anyone getting into espresso!“
