Tricky parking and extremely overrun place with a line to the door prove that downtown Naperville has it going on too much! I arrived a bit too late for coffee but the seasonal beverages called to me. Did a ginger spritz, fancy house syrup with sparkling water, was an ideal summer sip but quite small, what is with these greater suburbs holding back big size? I drained the cup quickly due to the ice taking half the space. A bit of Starbucks style economics here isn't the best to see but would come again to try the coffee with all the raves for their java. It is a pleasant place though noisy. Not much for nooks or group spots to hide, everything feels exposed and probably needs to be to push the crowd along or else this would have a line for chairs too. read more

Since going in on a Saturday morning it was busy but still super fast! I did love the atmosphere being able to see all the workers in each of their stations and watching how the drinks were made. I got a cold brew with oat milk and Carmel, next time i will skip the oat milk. Overall 10/10 would get again when I am in the area! read more

Beautiful selection of pastries and treats, very modern ambiance - orders take a while during the crowded weekend but the staff is pleasant and attentive. They never miss on their flat whites. Would recommend the nitro brew and almond croissants! read more

Apparently, Sparrow Coffee is the only coffee roaster in Naperville so I knew I had to give it a try. The interior is nice and spacious, but not much seating. It's pretty hard to find somewhere to sit since it's packed AF (most folks here are studying or doing work). They also have a lot of coffee making equipment, beans and other march on sale along with a lot of coffee drinks and baked goods. COLD BREW (16 OZ.) - 6.25 I'm shocked to see that cold brew here is so expensive. I'm used to somewhere around 5.00 but 6.25 was over the top. I felt like the cold brew was also really dark and almost burnt like, so not the biggest fan. I also got some baked goods on the way out for my friend and me. The lemon poppyseed bread was delicious and not too sweet, and the banana streusel muffin was also enjoyable with its sugary crust, yet super soft banana interior. I thought the macarons were overrated (got the hazelnut, raspberry and pistachio) and wish I got three other baked goods instead. read more

My favorite coffee shop! The high-quality latte is consistently impressive. Each cup is crafted with care and topped with beautiful milk foam. The best part about Sparrow is that they welcome dogs, so Coco and I can always come inside and enjoy the wonderful coffee time! read more

The best part about hitting up Sparrow on a busy Saturday morning is the front row seat to the wedding parties taking photos on the Riverwalk or florists delivering the bridal bouquets. Otherwise the weekends are BUSY! But the line moves fast! This space is big, but it fills up fast. There's a large communal table, mini "cabaret" seating arrangements on the windows, bar seating on the sides and even outdoor seating (new!). The order ands post spot is right at the door, so there's really no time to admire the pastry you'd like in line:( Fail! But if you're lucky enough to stay longer than your cup of coffee, you can order a pastry to go;) Their pastries and food items are out of this world- I usually get the toast with carmelized onion butter. It's a thick multi grain with the most amazing butter spread! They have toast options though, and they're all phenomenal for being just bread. They always have fancy espresso drinks but you really only get alerted to those on their outdoor signage. While Sparrow isn't in the heart of DT Naperville, it's still plenty busy from hotel guests and people who KNOW how great Sparrow is! read more

Loved the masala chai. Had a great selection of pastries too. Lovely spot to visit in downtown Naperville.

Good coffee, very hard to find a place to sit since it's always busy and small. Great service and ambiance and a solid cafe

The pastries are wonderful. The restaurant is super cute. The employees are polite and professional. But it's all about the coffee...I mean best coffee in Naperville. Always look forward to being in the area and grabbing a cup. read more

Amazing coffee and great ambiance! This location is near the river walk so great place to grab a coffee and take a walk or sit down and work. The only issue is it is usually very crowded and hard to find a table. read more

This place has become our "go to" coffee shop ever since we moved to the suburbs and hands down the best in Naperville. It's a cute shop with bright ambiance and it's usually crowded. I have seen a lot of people work from here. Coming to the food, we have tried almost every item and the quality of ingredients are excellent. My personal favourite is their spicy grilled cheese sandwich and their chai latte. They brew their tea in house and don't use any pre made tea concoction. My husband is a big fan of their coffee and the croissants. It's a must try place in Naperville Downtown. read more

Cute spot in downtown Naperville. Prices were a little high. I got a cold brew coffee, and it was about $6.50 after tax. Inside was crowded and not much seating (due to the crowd). Inside was clean, and both bathrooms were gender neutral. read more

Good visit to this coffee shop in Downtown Naperville. It's nice to go to a coffee and tea shop and get a proper tea. And they make Theo own Chai! Chai was of excellent taste! Note you can only get Chai with whole milk! Nice causal environment. One star off from perfection due to lack of cleanliness. When you pay significant cash for a tea, you expect a clean place to sit. I had to clean the table and seat from coffee and crumbs. I hope the site will keep up with its place to create a welcoming environment to compliment their great drinks! read more

I stayed at Hotel Indigo so naturally, I should go downstairs to the first level to try out Sparrow Coffee. They did not disappoint on the coffee. I ordered a latte sub oat milk and it tasted great with a smooth, creamy, velvety texture and the coffee is medium robustness with a slight hint of acidity. It's a good balance for me. On the other hand, the main reason I knocked down a star is due to their avocado toast. While the presentation is beautiful, the flavor didn't all come together. It needed a bit more sweet acid kick from the pickled onions and a little bit more seasoning as it was pretty bland. There was a healthy sprinkle of shredded cheddar underneath the avocado mash but I couldn't taste it at all. Nonetheless, the coffee is definitely worth trying if you've never had it and you are staying at this hotel. I'll try another food item next time but will for sure skip the avocado toast. read more

This has been one of my favorite local coffee roasters for a long time. I always stop when I'm in downtown Naperville. I typically buy beans for home use, but their lattes and americanos are perfect. I was fortunate to attend a latte art class put on by their marvelous staff. The details put into this two-hour course were remarkable. It was extremely inspiring to get behind their beautiful coffee bar and see how these incredible drinks are made. I am looking forward to taking more classes there. read more

Hidden deep in the inner part of the riverwalk in downtown Naperville lies an amazing cafe that roasts its own beans in house. Sparrow is a beautiful place that has amazing beans that have notes of chocolate and velvety texture. The beans are not too harsh and pair perfectly in a latte or just on its own. The service is stellar and the staff is always willing to help in any way that could benefit. The interior is a modern industrial look that is chic and appealing to the eyes. Perfect place to read and catch up on work. The bakers pushes out great products daily. My favorites are the chocolate chip hazelnut cookie and lemon poppyseed loaf. The loaf is soft and moist while having piece of lemon bits in the cake. The cookie is soft and pairs perfectly with the whole hazelnuts in the cookie. I love it and highly recommend. The latte was smooth and the beans were soft in taste. All in all, 5/5 and you got to come back. My only critique is adding almond milk as an option as well as cinnamon for people who may want it on the side. read more

Was meeting some friends and was surprised to find a local roasters in Naperville. Inside was definitely trendy and they serve a variety of types of coffee and tea. Ordered a London fog and cold brew. Both were fine, but on the pricier side. Pro Tip: There is limited seating so recommend taking the elevator to the 2nd floor and there is plenty of seating in the Indigo Hotel lobby! read more

Great matcha. Beautiful, modern ambiance. Lots of foot traffic (busy, be prepared to wait). Compelling bakery and sandwiches. I'd go back if I were in Naperville :) read more

Tried this coffee place with my husband, it's pretty cool. The vibe was amazing, we started off with a chocolate chip cookie and pistachio & coffee macaroons. The cookie was just delicious with both sweet and savory flavor. Macaroons were great too. Being vegetarian I had avocado toast which was just exceptional & tasty. Love the way it was presented with radish, arugula and pickled leeks. My husband had breakfast sandwich which was awesome too. As the place was super busy it tool a while to get out avocado toast and sandwich. There is plenty of parking on the street for 15 mins pickups and for dine in there is a garage at the back. I would highly recommend this place! MUST TRY! read more

I think the environment is nice but thats probably it. I ordered a Vanilla latte with skim milk. There was not much syrup, could not taste vanilla. Coffee beans were poor quality and it showed. Overall watered down, bitter, not flavorful. Not happy. Service was fine ig. Not to mention the price. $7 for a medium coffee!!!!! HALF ICEEE!!! read more

This is a weekly stop for me. The biscuit egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is buttery, flaky, custardly and just perfect!

I've been meaning to check out Sparrow Coffee based on the good reviews and its location in downtown Naperville by the river. Sparrow is located right next to Indigo Hotel. If you're looking for an elevated coffee experience, Sparrow will not disappoint. You'll be paying for the luxury of it and the selection of espresso drinks and teas. I went with a 20 oz hot matcha latte with whole milk costing me $8. Not for the faint of heart. It was diligently crafted with beautiful latte art, and it was right in the middle of sweet and bitter - balanced. There's drip coffee too, but that's also quite expensive ($4-5) so you might as well get yourself a cappuccino or something made to order. Like any respectable cafe, there's a variety of baked goods to choose from but also a handful of food items like waffles, avocado toast, and such for something more filling. read more

I totally should've taken a picture of the iced Matcha latte that I had today, that was the worst, watered down, matcha I've ever had. The workers were super sweet, and I love the place and the sitting space was really cute. I will definitely be back to try something else, we were eyeing the croissants, and one of our group members really liked the Nitro cold brew. Though the Matcha could definitely be better. The color was like a muted sage green to give you a better idea of how watered down it was. Not even the milky taste because at least I would've been okay with that. read more

One of the best cappuccinos I've had, offered in a size slightly smaller than typical so as to offer a more concentrated coffee experience. Delicious Basque cheesecake to accompany it. I only wish the understandably crowded cafe offered more seating for groups of two to four people. read more

A friend recommended this place for the amazing coffee but I personally just found my latte to be ok. It was the spicy grilled cheese that I loved. To be fair, it's hard to ruin grilled cheese but I loved the chilies and herb buttered bread! Ambience wise, the place was packed! It was actually hard to find a seat and I was a bit disappointed to find out the vast majority of seating was on a long, shared table in the center. Everyone around me had their laptops out and since we were all so packed close together, I was struggling to not get my food too close to anyone's laptops. Would definitely come back but maybe when they're less busy so this wouldn't be an issue read more

Today we visited visited this coffee shop and really enjoyed their coffee and matcha tea, both of which were delicious. The pastries were also fresh and tasty. However, the service was a bit lacking. One staff member was not very attentive and seemed to have had a rough night. Additionally, he was yawning and touching his mouth with his hand, and then using that same hand to put lids on the cups. This definitely raised some hygiene concerns. Overall, it's a nice place, but there's room for improvement. read more

Really great coffee here! This coffee shop was such an unexpected find as I was passing through town and needed a quick caffeinated pick me up. My partner and I tried a quiche and I ordered a latte to enjoy on their mini outdoor patio area. There were many people chatting or doing work inside the shop while we were visiting. The staff were friendly and pleasant to talk to, and our order came out quickly. Both items were delicious. Would definitely come back here in the future! read more

I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and the total was $7.77. Kind of expensive in my opinion, but the taste was phenomenal. It wasn't the BEST vanilla latte I've ever had, but that's because I've tried a lot in my day lol. The syrup was all at the bottom, so I had to stir that in, but once I did it was perfect. Such a cute location too!!! The girls at the register were so nice for it being a chaotic, LOUD, Saturday morning in there. read more
