The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. They made me a delicious hot cinnamon tea with milk. It made the windy day outside that much nicer.It’s definitely a place worth visiting.

Very cozy little cafe that (in non pandemic times) features art, live music, and some very tasty beverages. Modern, rustic decor and a Rancilio espresso machine. The coffee is a nice, balanced roast and staff is welcoming and kind. Stop in if you are visiting Starved Rock or Matthiessen parks and craving a great cup of joe!

Road tripping through Illinois up to Wisconsin & stumbled upon this sweet little coffee shop on Google maps! My husband and I both love our white mochas & the staff and customers were super sweet. Thanks, Core Cafe! ?

Absolutely love the atmosphere.

Miriam Hoffman

Absolutely delightful spot for studying, hanging out, or just stopping by for a drink. The coffee (and tea) is fabulous, the people are so kind, and the vibe is exactly what a coffeeshop should be. LaSalle is blessed to have Core Cafe.
