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!“

“The coffee is off the charts delicious every time. The staff is awesome and friendly, and they're pastries (whenever they are no sold out) are delicious especially the ham and cheese croissant! If you haven't been here yet, its a must for a delicious cup of coffee.“

“As soon as you finish reading this, you need to get the “Funky Hippie.” I have been a long time customer, and my beverage of choice is the “Dirty Hippie.” It combines cold brew, matcha, hemp milk, and lavender syrup. However, I came in on July 30th, 2026, only to notice that their summer menu was in full swing. On the menu there was a “Funky Monkey” available. Enticing for sure, but how could I forfeit the opportunity to once again indulge in the “Dirty Hippie.” I mulled my options, verbalizing this dilemma with my bestest friend and the barista on staff. She noted that the banana syrup, exclusive to the “Funky Monkey,” could be added to the “Dirty Hippie.” I knew what had to be done. It was in that moment the “Funky Hippie” was born. My only regret is that I drank all of mine. Perhaps what we want most is what we had and lost. Go to Tala. Experience the “Funky Hippie.” You might ask why I would be willing to share this secret recipe with you all. It is my mission to spread that which is good in this world. All I ask in return is for you to propagate this message. As written in The Republic, “there will be no injustice in compelling our philosophers to have a care and providence of others.” Go forth and spread joy.“

“Any time anyone asks me for my favorite coffee place I send them here. They've got my favorite espresso of any of the local roasteries and I've never had a bad experience here. Everyone behind the counter is friendly and personable, and they always take the time to make sure things are done right.“

“The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. This is our goto spot for coffee, beans in the burbs. Very recommended“

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

“Yummy. Delicious and healthy“

“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!?❤“

“The boutique was very quaint, but small. There was nowhere to sit when you wanted to sample of a particular espresso flavor.
Unlike then nespresso boutique in university village at Seattle. That was a great place to visit to sample and to take a masterclass in brewing different hot/cold nespresso of coffees.“
