First impression- wow! There were so many specialty drinks I had no idea what to chose! I went with the Ube latte which is something I have never tried or even heard of before (I mean, how do you even make a yam a latte??). Usually specialty drinks can be expensive in nice coffee shops like this, but it only came out to a bit over 5 dollars. It was so amazing, sweet without being too sweet, and the perfect ube flavor for someone relatively uninitiated with the purple root. It also came out super quick, I could see them working on it while I finished ordering! The employees are all very kind, one of them complimented my wallet and I love compliments so it just set the tone for a great day. I got a seat by the window. There is plenty of natural light in here and plenty of great vibes. About 7 tables in the main area, a couch, and a big table in a room towards the back. Also, a big mural and lots of plants. Really fun and artsy environment. They were selling t-shits and merch which all looked cool and had nice designs. Once I become a regular here (which I now intend on!) I think I will definitely have to get a shirt or hoodie. I noticed there aren't many reviews yet for here which leads me to believe it is not as popular as it deserves to be. But guys, you gotta come, or you're missing out! read more

Absolutely might be my new favorite cafe in oak park. Brrw point sets a mark with free wifi, gluten free pastry options and affordable pricing on their beverages. Upon entering on a Sunday afternoon, it was quiet, the music was nice and the staff was on par with their service. I was serviced with smiles and generosity. The two women helped me pick the perfect pastry to go along side my lavender chai latte and regular chai latte, which was a gluten free vegan Ube muffin topped with cinnamon sugar. They warm the pastry up for me which definitely made it better. I maybe spent $15 for two drinks and a pastry which was phenomenal considering other places would have been higher in price. I'll definitely be returning to try other pastries and enjoy the large space the cafe has. read more

Happy I got the chance to visit this adorable coffee shop. This place was so inviting the moment I stepped inside. They also have a small seating area outside in front. Once you step in, you are greeted with their beautiful display of their coffee assortments, coffee syrup, mugs, etc. They even sell jewelry! It felt very spacious inside and it was very very clean. Ube muffin: This muffin is gluten free and vegan. It was absolutely delish. I'm filipino so I will buy anything with ube. The muffin is a nice/rich/deep purple. They did a great job with the flavor because it didn't taste or look artificial at all. The consistency was moist and chewy. I really enjoyed this muffin and I would buy it again in a heart beat. Poetry & Prose specialty latte: They have a couple specialty lattes that all sounded so good. This one in particular has vanilla/praline/cinnamon flavoring. They nailed the right amount of sweetness. I could def taste each of the flavors they used which all blended together nicely. You can def tell their products are of high quality! read more

I really like this place for a working atmosphere. I got the frozen hot chocolate (super tasty) and a lemon blueberry scone. It was a little dry but it was also late-ish in the day. Free wifi and the metered parking was pretty cheap. I'll be back read more

Brewpoint Craft Oak Park - Scone and frozen hot chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

4 stars for excellent service, cute ambiance, fair pricing, and creative tasty brews. Service was outstanding. The barista was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I ordered the Mocha Nut from the summer menu. It's an iced latte, perfect for the summer indeed! It was bold, chocolatey, smooth, and nutty. The flavor and great taste held up to the last drop. Really incredible latte. They have an extensive array of coffee and hot/iced lattes, and yes, fresh pastries! They have indoor and outdoor seating for you to enjoy your coffee or latte, or if you're in to it, start your crafty brew at 11am! They offer small plates and charcuterie boards to pair with that craft. I stopped by in the middle of a workday, therefore, not allowing me to imbibe on their seemingly tasty brews. But the selection sounds delicious. Stop by, say hi, and enjoy the craft! read more

A cool coffee spot with an abundance of drink options and a variety of good snacks and breakfast baked goods. Coffee is always tasty whether I get hot or iced. Recently tried the Borealis latte and it was perfectly crafted and had a wonderful combination of sweetness and espresso. I also enjoyed the Cozy Coquito Latte. Scones are usually good, and I recently had a tasty jam bar. Service is always friendly and prompt. Can order with the Joe app. read more

Had to come try out this new location. I have to say I have never been to the other location but I love the feeling of this coffee shop! They offer a very eclectic selection of coffees that can put Starbucks to shame. They just released their summer menu as well! A must try with the lavender lemonade!!! It is going to be on my top favorite drinks of the summer for sure! The outdoor seating area is so peaceful and relaxing! They offer a nice selection of coffee, teas and syrups to take home with you if you enjoy their coffees! Thank you I will definitely be back!! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Oak Park. Baristas are always so friendly. My go-to drink is an iced lavender white mocha. Their seasonal drinks are always great too. read more

Brewpoint is a go to coffee shop for me whenever I am in the area. Their cold brew is always solid. The atmosphere is great! Modern but still has a cozy vibe. Really friendly and helpful staff. Whenever I feel like being brace and ordering something other than a cold brew, I can count on a staff member's recommendation! I also appreciate how they are open quite later than most coffee shops on Sundays. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop that is woman and minority owned! Stopped in for a coffee meet up and to get some work done . It probably seats about 20-30 people. Very inviting and yummy drink options. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I opted for the borealis and a blueberry and lemon scone. The website describes the drink as "The Brewpoint signature latte. Creamy oat milk, balanced espresso, & a sweet, nutty base paired with honey & cinnamon for an incomparable drink experience." They were right! It was extremely yummy! And that scone was probably one of the best I've ever tasted! I'll definitely be back when I need a change of scenery since I work from home. If you're in the area check it out! read more

A new Brewpoint location gets nothing less than 5 stars from me! I've been a loyal customer of Brewpoint for 3+ years and I am always recommending it. They truly have something for everyone. Lattes, drip, cold coffees, smoothies, teas, you name it! Brewpoint does a really great job of serving the community, which is what they stand for. And they go above and beyond serving their community by hosting events where small business vendors can show off and sell their craft! I've tried many drinks, but you can never go wrong with any of the signature lattes. My favorite being the Borealis with oat milk. Yum! Not only do they have any amazing drink menu, but their retail products are also top notch. You can buy 12oz/16oz/5lb bags of coffee beans, and they have many blends to choose from. The value is amazing as the prices are not outrageous and you know you are supporting a small business. Skip the chain coffee purchase and take the little bit of extra time out of your way to come to Brewpoint. The coffee is the best in the area anyways so it should be a no-brainer. Highly, highly recommend! read more

When I heard of this place, I was so excited. I've never gone to a Brewpoint Cafe. Then I put it in my GPS and my anxiety peaked in. It was about a 30 min drive from me and that's with tolls. But it was SO WORTH THE DRIVE! Upon entering, you're met with beautiful decor. I spoke with the manager who was so kind and enthusiastic. She explained everything to me. From their Summer 2021 menu, I chose the Ube Latte, Lavender Lemonade as well as a Herbed Goat Cheese Croissant. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! The Ube Latte was divine. You could actually taste the ube! I hope and pray they keep this on their real menu one day. It's amazing. The Lavender Lemonade was so good too! You can definitely taste the balance of the lavender with the lemonade. My sister who is super picky with her drinks loved it! It was very refreshing. The croissant- man was that delicious. It was the perfect savory treat. So beautiful that the establishment puts so much time and effort curating a creative menu. You can tell they put in a lot of love in opening up this place. I just wish it was closer to me! I would frequent it more often. From a price point, yes, it was a bit expensive. But not incomparable to other coffee shops- and at least this one is actually original and creative in their recipes! I thought it was completely fair. Another thing I love- they have this area just to sell items from local businesses. What a beautiful way to promote buying from local. There's also a printer in the corner which I thought was so smart and means they actually care for their customers and want them to stay and get work done! There's also a cute outdoor area that I loved. read more

Friendly staff and good variety of coffee drinks. Also has a seating area to read or study.

This is my favorite oak park coffee shop. I like that they do big block ice cubes to keep your drink from getting watered down (although with the larger ice it takes a bit for my iced latte to get cold enough for me and I don't enjoy it right away). The service is prompt and I could see chilling with a friend here for a while although I always get my drink to go! I don't have an issue with parking. read more

Super delicious coffee! I was pleasantly surprised when I came here for a quick latte and it was so tasty and well made! Milk was creamy, beans had nice hints of chocolate and nutty flavor. I got a medium coffee for less than $5 which is unheard of if you go into the city! I've been back here pretty much daily this week and will continue being a regular! Highly recommend. read more

First time going today and I got the equinox drink with oat milk and the lady recommended a pinch of salt with it and it was delicious!!! It's a maple flavored coffee and it's not too sweet. I did get the ham and swiss croissant, however it was not to my liking, it's just a personal preference on it. Definitely would get the coffee again though! read more

First time stopping by and definitely not my last. I ordered an iced Adagio and the flavors were well balanced. Only comment I have is that I would've liked more cinnamon, but that's just me being knit picky. read more

There's a plethora of coffee shops right outside my doorstep but I will always choose to walk the extra ten minutes just to come here. It's women owned, the workers are always friendly and it's nice and cozy inside. Not to mention, their coffee is my absolute favorite in the area. I've only been here a handful of times and I would always order an iced ube latte. I recently tried their iced poetry and prose with oat milk and I swear every time I took a sip of it I went "mmMmm." I can't wait to try other things on their menu... and I especially can't wait for the winter time to snuggle up inside, get some work done and drink some real good coffee. read more

Really loved this coffee shop! I think it is new. Tons of gluten free and vegan options. read more

This place is really good! A friend and I try to get together once a month for coffee. We have been trying different places following the closing of our favorite coffee shop a few years ago. Some places we visit more than once if we like the coffee and atmosphere. Well this will definitely be a place on that list. Not only is the atmosphere nice (seating inside and outside), but the coffee, lattes and specialty drinks are really good! And next time, I will try the pastries. read more

I came in for fresh roasted bag of coffee and it's great that bag purchase comes with a complimentary cup of coffee. You don't have to be decisive if you should get a bag for later or get one now liked the calm with some white noised atmosphere here. read more

Favorite coffee shop in all of Chicago! Personal favorite is the Poetry and Prose but you can't go wrong with any order!

FOOD AND DRINK: In addition to signature lattes, coffee, and tea, Brewpoint Craft (formerly L!ve Cafe) has cocktails, pastries, and charcuterie. This is not the place to go if you are looking for vegan food beyond dessert, and vegetarian options are limited. I sought out an herbed goat cheese croissant, and I had a signature ube latte. My friend had a chocolate croissant and iced coffee. The croissants here are not traditional crescent shape with the spread in the middle; they are more like square pockets with the filling very close to the bottom, and they're crispier on top than I was expecting. The goat cheese flavor blends sweet and savory. My friend wasn't totally sure if there was chocolate in her croissant's dough, though it was darker in color than mine. The chocolate taste came from the drizzle and filling. My ube latte was also not what I was expecting; I didn't read the menu closely enough, I saw "purple" and expected fruity. The dominant flavor was instead nutty with some overtones of coconut and marshmallow. Probably influenced by my substitution of oatmilk. The croissant and drink cost around $11. I didn't see any decaf options. MERCH: In addition to food and drink to have at the location, there are retail products such as shirts, bagged coffee beans, and a small collection of looseleaf teas (about 6 flavors). Being most interested in the teas myself, I inquired. Spur of the moment purchases are very small containers. For larger bulk, order on the website and you can pick up in-store if you don't want to deal with shipping. SEATING: Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Indoor tables well-distanced now while outdoor is more in-demand, but indoor capacity will be increasing as the pandemic passes away and the store purchases more post-rebrand tables and chairs. Current plan is to first double capacity, then add bench seating which will make triple what is in the space now. Note: indoor chairs are hard, tables small. I saw some padded seating outdoors. AMBIANCE: Even with no lights turned on and cloudy weather outside, Brewpoint Craft is a bright space. Currently seems bigger because of reduced indoor capacity, long term it is a small space. Very yellow. The mural currently being worked on, on the south wall, features a rayed sun and teal detailing of the faces of people of color. Friendly, well-trained cisgender (Pride rainbow masked) baristas of different ethnicities. Bathroom had some toilet paper clutter but when I told staff they apologized and said they'd clean right away. No good place super close by to lock up a bike, but accessible front entrance and wide aisles. OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: Support a local business owned by people of color and take advantage of the low capacity right now if you want lingering private conversation, which I like. Popularity is likely to grow and It's going to get loud in there soon. read more

I love all the options on their menu, especially their seasonal menu. But as it was my first time as a customer, I went with a rather safe bet, an iced chai tea latte. I was hoping it wasn't super sweet and creamy like Starbucks and other places. I order a large with light ice and skim milk and was pleasantly surprised! It tastes much more like chai tea itself and wasn't heavily saturated by the milk. It wasn't too sweet either. Really great chai tea latte and definitely want to try some of their other signature drinks! read more

Brewpoint is my favorite coffee outside of Chicago and even then it's better than most (depending on your taste). I get their two week whole bean delivery. Their single origin are fantastic. I also had their barrel aged beans at home, which were phenomenal yet disappointing when I finished. They have West Town Bakery pasties and delicious lattes. Their ambience is chill and stylish yet unpretentious, especially the staff who have been nothing but warm whenever I'm in there. I do hope their recent growth is a sign of stability and not over extension because I want them to stay for a while. read more

They have cheeseboards that are so yummy. The honey tastes like the bees are in the back making it. My go to drink is the lavender latte. Service is always quick and friendly. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. I like to study here. read more

Popped in for an impromptu afternoon outing and loved it all - the environment, the awesome staff, the tasty drinks and the cheese board. Even left with a gift for someone else. Planning on heading back over tomorrow! This will be on regular rotation! read more

I love Brewpoint! I moved from the city to oak park in the beginning of April, and was saddened by the fact that there wasn't an independently owned coffee shop within walking distance of my condo. Low and behold, brewpoint opened later that month! The coffee and espresso are fantastic, and they even do pup cups for my dogs! Very excited about the upcoming cocktail menu. Great neighborhood staple! Must try. read more

Super friendly atmosphere with the nicest baristas! I got a hot rose matcha which was really nice to drink on a chilly morning. The inside is super cute and spacious; I spent 2 hours reading & doing work and there was plenty of seating. The music provided a nice mood and wasn't blasting like you sometimes hear at other coffee shops. They also have really cute merch including handmade earrings and clothing with the Brew Point logo. Would love to come back here again and try some other drinks! read more

Nice location but the service could be better. MUCH better. I tried to purchase a clothing item and the price posted didn't match the register (it was nearly double). I told the cashier and he said that he didn't have to honor the posted price. I informed management a day later and that manager said "the owners won't do anything." Not a good way to grow a business! read more

Very cute & cozy spot. I love to do work here! It's quiet and the pastries and coffee are so so delicious. I could not recommend a better coffee shop in Oak Park read more

Updating to 5 stars because they acknowledged the issue! That's rare to see and very much appreciated.

One of the best iced vanilla lattes I've ever had. Very cute hipster place. Very friendly baristas.

This coffee shop is amazing!! I went last Wednesday and have been going everyday since! Every latte I've tried has been delicious, service is exemplary, and I love supporting local shops! read more

I was really looking forward to liking this place since I loved the former Live café. Unfortunately my one and only visit hence the one star is for the two employees that served me this morning. although I wish I can give it no stars for their attitude on the service they gave me. I know we all have bad days but we're looking to draw people and not the way to service or customers. read more

I have only tried a couple pastries (goat cheese and herb croissant; blueberry muffin). Love the blended lavender lemonade!
