We Love Coffee

We love coffee. Good coffee. DAMN FINE coffee. Our ongoing mission is to bring you the best coffee the country has to offer.  In addition to fine espresso and drip from our pals and anchor roaster at Halfwit - we'll be featuring different roasters from around the country every month for our manual brews and retail beans.  

But coffee isn't the only thing we love.  Of course there's Tea - and we've got some of the best available - courtesy of our pals at SpiritTea. We're also a fan of yummy treats - and we've got that covered.  We get daily deliveries from Floriole Bakery as well as vegan donuts from Do Rite Donuts. The kids love it. 

We also feel it's important to note that we use organic ingredients whenever possible as well as offer a number of dairy-free options. 

Our Featured Roaster

Every month we're going to feature unique roasters from around the country.  We feel it's important to showcase products that Chicago coffee lovers would otherwise not be able to enjoy.  

THIS MONTH'S ROASTER:
TALA COFFEE ROASTERS,  Libertyville, IL

From their site:

For local pickup at our Libertyville roastery use the code PICKUP at checkout. You will receive an email when your coffee is packaged and ready for you!

This was a much anticipated coffee for us. The saturation of fruity tones in Burundi coffees is what we love and seek out.  Many African coffees can be fruit forward but usually tend to a lighter, brighter fruits, whereas Burundi’s are known for rich, deep, heavy fruits. This one from the Gomba Washing Station follows suit beautifully with heavy flavors of syrupy cola, juicy plum, and dark chocolate.
