10 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!“

“Had a tea at this place, I did. It was surely a very nice place to have something warm especially amidst the below freezing temperatures. This is also located within walking distance from a Metra station, which is very nice.

Moreover, the staff is very nice too!“

“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.)“

“There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.

The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.

And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.

Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.“

“I tried the donuts from Mini Donut Factory, and it was unforgettable! These little masterpieces literally melt in your mouth—fresh, fluffy, and incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for something special to treat yourself or your loved ones, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great ready prepared food buffet (and good variety), great Allegro coffee (IMO, much better than Starbucks), very friendly employees (Jen at the coffee counter, Erin at the bar, Adriana, Mell, Gail, and many others), and the store manager is so down-to-Earth simple and friendly guy that it is visible to the naked eye that customers and employees love him. I wish I had had this kind of manager in my entire career - priceless! We love this store!?❤“

“Yummy. Delicious and healthy“

“The staff at this location are wonderful always polite and helpful. The best part of having this location is you can try your coffee before you buy your coffee! Awesome idea for anyone wanting to try a Nespresso or even a specific flavor. Once you try a Nespresso coffee you will throw your Keurig away!“
