This review is for the new coffee shop in Dyer at 237 Matteson Street. I stopped in for their soft…read moreopening and had a blast! I tried the coffee root beer, a regular coffee and a delicious scone, baked by Oven Maiden. The ambiance is fun and not a typical coffee house vibe. More like a fun pub hangout without the booze. There are large TVs for sports and a game room for board games. The owner is awesome and supports other local business carrying hop water from Windmill, baked goods by Oven Maiden and also will carry cheese from Roaming Wedge! This is a great example of a true community of businesses all supporting each other!

Great coffee here but if you ask for cream to put in your coffee you're gonna get little cream cups…read morethat ruin the experience. Luckily I drink it black too, I got the barrel age medium roast which is really good. I would recommend the stop here but please get rid of the little restaurant style cream that makes coffee taste like yuk to me. Real cream or half/half you pour from a container.

Just keep going through the business complex to find this sweet spot at the tail end on the left…read moreside! Trust me, the coffee is excellent and you do not want to miss it. That being said, it is the cutest shop. It felt modern but cozy and not pretentious. A great spot to sit and sip some coffee with friends or clients. I wanted to get a real taste of the roastery and purchased the standard coffee with nothing in it! What a change for me, but totally worth it. The coffee was great. I even had the hubby try it (a normal person that uses milk in his coffee, ugh) and he said that he could drink it with nothing! WHAT! Yep, that is huge. PROS: Great parking Cute spot Great coffee/tea choices CONS: Difficult to find, GPS does not get you all the way there, keep going

Very cool coffee shop is a hidden gem. The barista greeted me as I walked in and showed me their…read moremenus. I got a small iced coconut latte, which is really good! The shop has a cool space. Lots of plants, has lots of places to sit and sip your coffee, there's a puzzle on a table that everyone can work on, cool mosaic above the door, and has some cool art pieces on the wall. Definitely will be back soon!

Wow. A big heart hug I experienced here today with my Hubby. He has lived in the area for 8 years,…read moreI just moved here from the west coast. I wanted to check out some local places and I had been following Ixxa Coffee on IG and they are just 8 minutes from our home! It's so inviting, warm and decked out with BEAUTIFUL FOLIAGE!!! We loved all the plants! We are plant parents! I had the iced honey chai latte and my Hubby had the serenitea. We loved and enjoyed our drinks! We also had a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant. Both were fresh and yummy! After leaving, I went back to IG and saw the story of the owners and I felt more connected to the coffee shop! I grew up in Los Angeles so I felt a personal connection and vibe! We look forward to returning as well as checking out their events! Support local businesses!

Amazing coffee in the region. Love that they feature specialty lattes each month…read more There is limited seating inside, but if they're having an event, it practically becomes unusable. I'm not sure there's a customer bathroom. Maybe best for take-out if the interior is a little busy.

Located in the Downtown Tinley Park train station, this coffee shop perfectly integrates into the…read morecute aesthetic of the building. There's plenty of seating inside to sit and enjoy your items or take to-go. Their menu was a little more limited than other locations but it makes sense based on the available space they have. When visiting, I ordered a 12oz Lumberjack Latte and my husband a 16oz Chai Latte. I ended up getting a 16oz and later realized I was charged for that size as well. My latte tasted more like milk than any flavor nor coffee. My husband did enjoy his Chai. Service was sadly the downfall of my visit. There were four girls working but prioritized goofing off and chit chatting over taking orders and making drinks. I'm all for having fun at work but was very surprised in such an open setting to see staff distracting each other.

We had a lovely evening listening to great music in a clean, safe environment. Staff was so…read morefriendly and helpful. Loving the coffee I brought hime.

It has a pretty strange location that makes it seem out of place. Just don't judge it until you go in. The prices are pretty okay for being coffee that's local and independently owned. Basically the coffee is the main thing of course. It's got kind of a small selection but they only make the best stuff. There's the basics like the lattes and a few of the specialties too. Actually can be good to not be too complicated. It's about $5 to get a specialty coffee, which isn't that bad to be honest. Also has bags of coffee beans to go. The last time in here I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte. Like drinking cereal. They also have a few pastries. It's about $2 for a croissant. The Vegan Curved Croissant is one of these. Fluffy and still has a buttery flavor. There's also a few breakfast sandwiches. Finding it can be complicated. It's located in a building on Schoolhouse Road. There's also a pizza place in the same location so after going here you can go there.

I saw their ads on Facebook, walked in, and the owner, Sal, poured me a free and very large cup of coffee. I bought HOOAH because the name is hilarious. Sal ground the coffee for me. I think between the flavor, the hospitality, and the "artwork" on the walls, I am a customer for life. Thanks, Gun Barrel Coffee for a great coffee experience.

Maple Leaf Coffee Roasters is a great, fresh option in the Roselle area. They have a variety of…read morebean options for light, medium, dark roasts and even sell decaf beans. The bags come is 12oz and 16oz options but one can also preorder a large format of beans for pick up. When I visited, the owner Alex was there and he could not be nicer! He made some great recommendations based on my preferences and offers items in bean or grounded formats. I purchased the Costa Rica Marigold option based on the notes listed. He gave me beans that had been roasted that day! The beans are high quality but not has flavor forward as I'm used to. Either way, pricing was very fair and seems to always have all options in stock.

Alex is super knowledgeable about coffee and clearly puts a lot of thought into what he does and how he does it. It's been really nice to be able to order coffee beans and have them delivered since we're so close to the store, but going there is easy too - convenient location and plenty of parking. The coffee itself has been solid - I am not a black coffee drinker, but my partner is, and he has consistently enjoyed the coffee he's gotten there. On our last visit to the shop, Alex told us about the other location they own, Maple Leaf Coffee House in St. Charles - we're hoping to check that out soon!
