“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Excellent service, very clean. Too many choices of sandwiches. Great coffee. Love, love this place.“

“Absolutely the best pancakes that I have tasted in a very long time.
If you are like me, and steer away from pancakes because they just don't taste as good as your great-grandmother's, you have to eat a stack at this cafe.

The first bite literally took me to my grandmother's table. I could not be happier with my breakfast today.

The service is consistent, the atmosphere is cozy, and.... well you know what I think about the food.

5/5 all around.“

“What an awesome addition to the North Side! Beautiful place to have breakfast, delicious eggs with crème fraiche, chives, parmesan fluff, griddled country bread, we got our son the grilled cheese & I ate most of it. Great ambience, it has a very open feel. We would def come back, thank you 🙏“

I wish we had arrived at a less busy time, but we will definitely come early next time for the best experience!“

“Great coffee and savory items are delicious.“

“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.“

“We went here for dinner and loved it! The ambience inside and on the patio is so nice, we sat inside by the open door to the patio and enjoyed a nice breeze. I had the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes, which was absolutely superb (perfect cook on the chicken), and my husband loved the beef goulash. We also enjoyed the cheese curd appetizer and drinks from the cafe - a chai apple cider and a caramel apple butter latte, both of which were fantastic for fall. We didn’t try anything from the bakery because we were too full, but that looked delicious as well. The staff was great. Would highly recommend as a top choice in Lincoln Square. We will definitely be back!“

“Great, but pricey pastry. Good breakfast and light lunch in a very pleasant setting.“

“I stop there once or twice a month and everything is usually good, but I can’t recommend the fish tacos. Not good and take a long time to prepare.“

“Great food at affordable prices with friendly service.“

“I brought my three little girls here after playing at Indian Boundary Park and received absolutely wonderful service from Ricky. The coffee was tasty, the girls loved the herbal tea he made for them at just the right temperature, and the holler deal for a pastry and beverage can’t be beat! He even took the time to bring out some coloring books and colored pencils to give the girls something to do, though I think they were most entranced with the working rotary phone. We will definitely be back!“

“First time going there after trying to find some different places to eat in the area. I ordered the California turkey wrap and a cookie, and both were amazing! It’s probably not somewhere I’d go to sit down and eat with friends, I don’t think it’s meant for that. But it’s a great place to go and pick up from if you’re looking for good, fresh food. I took one star away because after I got home and saw the email of my receipt I noticed it was a couple dollars more than what I was told as I was checking out. Sure enough there was a $2 tip added. Not upset about a couple extra dollars, but I would’ve appreciated the transparency and the choice to leave a tip. There was no screen that gave me an option to tip so it felt a little shady to me.
Good to note: The office building itself was easy enough to find, but there aren’t any signs to point you in the direction of the actual cafe. You have to go into the west entrance.“

Unlike the usual dark coffee houses, Newport is light, bright, and inviting. Service was excellent. Parking was easy. The location is great. I loved it and can’t wait to come back.“
