Pekoe and Bean recently catered our event, and we had a great experience! They were able to accommodate us when we needed to make a change, and I could not be more grateful for that. Our guests loved the food! We ordered sandwiches, scones, and mini deserts. Everything was fantastic! Staff was also super friendly and helped me load everything in my car. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!
Excellent coffee!
i love this place so much!! food is great and price is really good for amount of food you get. love the gluten free and vegetarian menu as well. so many good options, will be back!
Overpriced for mediocre snack food. Went here with my daughter for a tea date and was very disappointed with the quality. Pb&j for her had barely any in it, tiered lunch was basically sugar and bread (two of the “sweet treats” were Oreos!). The scones were so hard, no kid is going to enjoy that. The adult afternoon tea had two scones in it, which is overkill with the amount of bread offerings. Carrot soup tasted odd and bitter. Cranberry cheese sandwich was horrendous. The only good item was the spinach and artichoke philo cup. All together it cost $70 with a tip for basic snacks I could prepare at home.
I like the concept, but I find that the servers aren't particularly friendly.
I love this darling spot. I've come with my daughter, a friend, my sister, today, with my grandkids.
My grandson gets the mini charcuterie board and my granddaughter and I get afternoon tea.
We all drank tea and had a lovely time. Everything is delicious!
I can't wait to return.
Had the opportunity to photograph an event here. What a great space, I love when people open little businesses like this. A definite hangout can't wait to be back in the area so that I can sit and find a nice little corner to work on updates for my business. The staff here was super friendly and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area or nearby to stop in and sit and relax and enjoy.
I've had so many good times at Pikoe & Bean including my birthday celebration and networking events. The menu is tasty and consistent.
Service was great, cute little Cafe. Delicious drinks. Carrot soup was so yummy 😋.
Pekoe & Bean – Tinley Park, IL
Tucked inside an older commercial building along Oak Park Avenue in Tinley Park is a quaint coffeehouse called Pekoe & Bean. I’ve driven past it for years with every intention of stopping in, but never did—until today.
Though the building itself is dated, it’s clean and sits in a family-friendly stretch of old downtown Tinley Park.
Stepping inside, you’re immediately struck by the charm. The space is graced with antique-style furniture from a bygone era—tables, artifacts, seating, and décor that create a rustic warmth. The countertop has the feel of an early-era bar. My guest and I were warmly greeted by Debbie, who was personable, attentive, and well-versed in the menu.
I ordered a medium roast coffee and a strawberry muffin, while my guest enjoyed a cheese Danish latte and a lemon poppyseed muffin. Both were excellent—but what truly stole the show was the soup. If you visit, don’t miss their white bean soup with seasonal vegetables. It was absolutely delicious—clearly homemade, perfectly seasoned, with freshly diced chicken breast, greens, white beans, celery, and onions that blended into a flavorful, hearty broth. This is the kind of soup made with intention and care. I could have easily eaten a large bowl and would return just for that alone.
The menu is varied and worth exploring—take your time with it, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Debbie’s knowledge of the offerings was impressive.
While exploring, I also discovered their private dining rooms, which can be rented for larger gatherings—a great option for groups.
My only concern lies with the location. Parking is very limited, and the narrow entry/exit on busy Oak Park Avenue can be difficult to navigate. The area is car-heavy, which I suspect limits some of the walk-in business. I can’t help but imagine how much better this café would thrive if the strip had wider sidewalks and more walkable streets to match the ongoing revitalization along Oak Park Avenue.
Inside, the atmosphere is cozy, though I think a little brightening—lighter walls or ceilings—would make the space feel even more inviting and alive.
On the walls, you’ll also find local artwork for sale, along with a collection of house souvenirs available for purchase.
One note: the menu does include a request that guests be mindful of a 1 hour and 45 minute seating limit.
All in all, Pekoe & Bean is a charming spot worth visiting—and if you do, make sure the soup is part of your order.

Friendly service. Unique experience. Loved it!
Wonderful charming experience! The atmosphere, food, artwork...it was if we could step out of the chaos of the world and just be...
Great drinks, food, staff, & atmosphere!! 10/10 would recommend :)
I just love this place so much! Everyone is so friendly
I was extremely disappointed with my afternoon tea. The service was poor. We had to ask for water and the scones that were still in the oven. They were the smallest scones I had ever seen. Overall the tea was mediocre and over priced. I would not return..
