We were looking for a great coffee spot and we found it! The spicy Mexican hot chocolate (added a shot of espresso) was delicious! The lavender cream cheese toast is a must. read more

A jewel in the neighborhood with an eclectic and delicious menu in a bright and welcoming corner cafe. Coming from the land where coffee originated, i appreciated that my coffee was prepared with care and flavord nicely with a dash of cinnamon. I also ate an avocado toast on slices of pita bread flaked with Parmesan cheese that was truly delightful. I will definitely return to explore other items in the menu. read more

Found the place via yelp and loved it. The service is great , not waiting around . I didn't have good coffee like that in a minute plus the maple waffle along with it was wonderful . read more

If you want a good pour over cup of coffee look no further. But really, just about everything they serve is delicious. From the cappuccino to the honey vanilla latte, they do a great job. So glad they are in my neighborhood. I love supporting local and this particular business owner is stellar in my book! Keep up the great work. read more

Love this boutique cafe. They have great coffee and a warm working environment. So excited to have my artwork available there! read more

It looks burnt and taste burnt, the syrup is ok i did not enjoy it. My family said they give it a 2.5 stars. They liked it more than I did. The burntness is there signature style and i hated it. If you like the taste of burnt toast crumbs over a waffle you'll like it Ambiance: small cozy coffee shop nice local artwork read more

My other go to café and they do have one of the best turmeric lattes around! Friendly staff as always.

I'm a total coffee snob so when I stumbled across this place when needing a coffee in Oak Park, I did not expect much. However much to my surprise the pour-over coffee I got here was absolutely superb!! This will definitely be my coffee stop for when I'm in the area. Would also like to try more here as the food looks quite interesting. read more

Beautiful, brand new space. Good coffee. Fast Wi-Fi. All in walking distance to CTA. What else could you ask for?

I have been coming here for last 2 years with my friend. All their coffees are delicious. My personal favorite is their honey vanilla latte. Great scones and love their savory waffles. Nice indoor with beautiful ethnic paintings. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Gettint a coffee here is a delightful experience. An absolute must if you are in Oak Park. read more

If you are looking for a great cafe, a sense of community, and impeccable service, this is your spot. It doesn't get any better than Addis Cafe. They've created something wonderful. read more

I was Very disappointed when I walked into this establishment for the first time today. I have heard the coffee was wonderful. It's not clean, staff Is all over the place and they took over 20min to have a gift certificate and A waffle ready. The young man at the counter seemed new therefore I understand his nerves getting the best if him. Unfortunately, I will not be frequenting them again. Best of luck read more

First time at Addis and it was great! My friend and I tried the salted caramel waffle and they were delicious. We each tried the house made chai and turmeric latte. The turmeric latte was the best! The chai latte is a bit spicy so be warned. read more

I love everything about Addis! They have the most delicious honey vanilla latte, sometimes I do the honey nutmeg. The scones are so yummy and large. On days I splurge, I also get a waffle and it's crisp on the outside, warm and the inside and topped with all the good things. The owner is warm and welcoming. I look forward to every visit read more

I love this little coffee shop. It has a perfect blend of what I've been seeking: perfect coffee, friendly baristas and plenty of seating options (communal table, couch and little tables). I am so excited to have an authentic Ethiopian place in my neighborhood and can't wait for the weekend coffee ceremonies! If only they were open a bit later, I would go there every day! Do check them out, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Kalkinat! read more

Just moved two blocks away and excited to become a regular. Cute cafe with a lovely community vibe. Coffee (presented as a pour-over) is excellent and the waffles (their main food item) are fantastic. The only disappointment was the avocado toast, so I'll stick to waffles in the future. So nice to have a place like this in the neighborhood. read more

Menu is the same as the 206 with the same great quality. I had the cinnamon roll waffle and it was delish. Nice music in the background. Great tea selection in addition to the coffee. Free wifi which is absolutely mandatory for any business establishment LOL (in my opinion). Oak Park is a family community so it's nice to see business owners and their kids from time to time. That can be tricky at times because you never know how kiddos are going to act - Happy to hear that the owners are planning to add Ethiopian items to the menu in the future. Would be nice to not have to travel all the way to the North side for good Ethiopian food! I will be back read more

Wonderful service wonderful coffee and wonderful waffles. This place is perfect service is fast and owners are super nice. I would definitely recommend this place for locals and visitors. read more

Great Service, very delicious caramel Frappe. I went with a friend, it's such a great location to create art.

Their waffles are great and I'm really loving their scones. If you aren't a coffee drinker, give their London Fog a try. Tasty and sweet. And their staff is really friendly and on top of things. read more

I wanted to try a new local coffee place with yummy small bites and I found the place. I had a savory waffle which was amazing and I also tried some of my friends original waffle. Service was prompt and friendly. I will be returning. read more

Big fan of Addis, we found it on Yelp while waiting in line at DD. Tried it and was pleasantly surprised, and now we come whenever possible. Made it a point to try all the waffles (Nutella & banana was a big hit) and so far so good. It has a warm and inviting feeling. The coffee is great, I really enjoy the iced mocha while my wife picks the poor-over. read more

Addis Cafe - Delicious! The Gusto... mmmm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Addis is my happy place! Their 206 Special, waffles topped with berry deliciousness and fresh cream, is just perfection. I couple this with a honey vanilla latte and it's my favorite breakfast which I crave Every.Single.Day! Love the chilled and welcoming vibe too. Well done, Addis Cafe, well done. Looking forward to the Ethiopian food too...I hear your restaurant in California always had a loooooong line outside the door. Good things come to those who wait ;). read more

Love this place! My coffee klatch discovered it by accident when our usual spot was closed and we needed somewhere else to go. We're a tough crowd -- very serious about our coffee. Addis blew us away. The coffee is amazing. Kilty, the owner-operator is super picky about her beans. Best coffee in the area. Best waffles in the city. And best owner-operator anywhere. read more

Great neighborhood cafe with a yummy turmeric late. Big communal tables to work or hang out with friends. They have a very friendly staff too! read more

The best coffee in oak park hands down! the Baristas are always welcoming and the coffee art is lovely. The waffles are delicious and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside :) Kuma coffee is a small roaster in Seattle and the coffee is always fresh. personally I reccomend the 206 waffle with fresh berry compote, and whipped cream. 10/10 I highly reccomend you get here! read more

The owner is lovely, the coffee is delicious, the music is tasteful, and the place is always very clean.

I visited Addis Cafe yesterday with my two kids. I had a macchiato and an iced latte. Both were just what I was craving. I'm really picky when it comes to coffee and I'm already dying to go back. My boys ordered the classic waffle and devoured it. We will be regulars. read more

Addis Cafe - macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Seriously such a cute coffee shop. Drinks are good but are a little hard on the pockets (if you go too often lol). Staff is sweet, seems like they have good ties to community. Recommend the chai latte! read more

Love the coffee and the artwork! They also sell handmade scarves and handmade knit beanies that are reasonably priced. I stop by here usually 2 or 3 times per week. I look forward to seeing the employees, as all are very friendly. I always order the same drink, and they remember my order. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to support local and enjoy some great coffee! read more

Cutest little cafe. Great food (but it's waffles who wouldn't fall in love?) Custom made drinks (I like my chai on spicier side) great seating, art and hours for early morning commuters. Now this place is to order so it make take a bit longer. So get up early and enjoy. You are supposed to enjoy your food I hope this place stays I am definitely returning and bringing friends. read more

Addis Cafe - Large spicy chai latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Love this place. Easy to drive/walk right by. Located on S Oak Park Ave just north of the Eisenhower (Blue line). We'll work the stop for the morning commute. Recommends: espresso, honey vanilla latte and the tumeric latte. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Two large tables for groups several two seaters and a big comfy couch. The do serve breakfast sandwiches but I've not had them yet. read more

Cinnamon waffles delicious as was the cappuccino. I will be back for sure. I arrived around 9:30 and only 1 table left. Staff friendly, just a good place. Sorry I didn't know about it sooner! read more

What do you know about Addis Cafe? Did you know it is a owned and operated by a women of color? DId you know they have the most incredible coffee in Oak Park? Did YOU know it is one of the most comfortable places to work on your laptop- offering a little something called FREE WIFEY (aka wifi)? I come here at least three times a week, and if I could get my ass out of the house earlier it would be a hell of a lot more times. The smells when you first walk in are only the beginning of all the perks of this gem. The staff is always friendly, but professional, quick and incredibly talented at making delicious coffee drinks. My new favorite drink is the Atmit with honey, but I also enjoy their pour-over and their lattes when I need that extra sweet. They have in house scones made fresh daily, but some days you can also find yourself bellied up to a bowl of their amazing lentil soup. I treat my kids with waffles at least once a month, and I love biting into their Ethiopian egg sandwich or bagel with avocado. The art work is always changing, and I have no idea how they are able to locate so many talented artists, but if I made more than minimum wage I would consider buying several pieces of these art works. During the holidays I always scoop up a few of their handmade scarfs from Ethiopia. The colors and quality of these are the best gift for any mid-westerner. There is something special about this place, and you cannot quite describe it, but you feel at home when you are here. You feel like you belong to a community that supports small business again. I do not know how you have gone this long without checking this place out- but please do yourself a favor and stop in before 2PM any day of the week. You will not regret it. And, remember to grab a punch card when you place your first order- after 10 visits you are treated with a free drink. And, honestly, nothing tastes better than the sweet creamy reminder that you spend over $100 on coffee every month- I mean a free drink. read more

I like this cafe a lot. The coffee is very good and it's a mellow place to work (not crowded during the week at least, comfortable seating, good music). I wish it would stay open a little later. It closes at 2:00 PM and would be nice if it stayed open until just even 3:00 PM - but not a major thing. read more

The salted caramel waffle at Addis Cafe melted my face with its unrelenting deliciousness, but that's only the beginning of the story. See, what happened was that my friend was supposed to pick me up at O'Hare early in the morning so we could make a long drive to a party being held outside the city, but he couldn't get there and so I was obliged to wait. But, wait where? Not at O'Hare, my friends! As fine an airport as there ever was, I knew I had at least three hours to kill and the Chicago streets beckoned. And, with no idea where to go at 5am in the morning, my friend suggested I take the train to Oak Park in search of a cafe (so as to keep us pointed in the right direction of our road trip when he finally came round). Once I stepped off at the designated stop and made my way up the ramp, the ticket agent directed me to the Addis Cafe. And, that's where the magic happened. First, I noticed right away that they were selling Seattle grounds and a waffle called "The 206." A coincidence? Pshaw! What are the odds? Sure enough, after chatting with the owner it was revealed that the previous owner was a Seattle native, and that the new establishment borrowed a bit from the past cafe, which I believe was called The 206. Now, here I am, all the way from Seattle, sitting in a cafe that tips its hat to Seattle. It was like it was meant to be. Then, I had the waffle. Holy @#$%!%. Go to Addis Cafe. Get a waffle, and feel righteously blessed that you don't have to travel all the way to Seattle to enjoy it. You lucky devils. read more

Nice little space. Delicious drinks, super delicious waffles! I love the featured art work and everyone who works there is lovely.
