Tala Coffee Roasters Highwood Cafe

I have been here many times, and I will be here many more. Everyone I've ever met working here has been warm and friendly, and that alone would be enough to keep me coming back, but I also enjoy their coffee, tea, and specialty drinks, and an occasional baked good. There's a nice big patio out front, and plenty of natural light and greenery inside too (because a Chicago-area patio isn't *always* a good choice). Only thing to note is the wifi can be a little spotty. But did I mention how lovely the people here are?Parking: Most of the time, there's plenty of parking available in their parking lot. On days when there's a fair or festival in downtown Highwood, you might have to find residential...

Killer espresso. Cortado and Cappuccinos are also awesome. Pour over i had was not as exciting as their espresso drinks. I think it could be that i had other drinks first and messed up my taste buds that day. I will give it another try with different barista next time. Not bad but not as good as their espressos.I also bought beans from them. 10 out of 10. Those purple donuts with toasted coconut flakes are crazy.I also reached out to them over phone about how to get the most out of the beans with my espresso machine. Super friendly baristas. I will try out their official recipe.

I did not realize that this place was a cyclist hot spot. I am not a cyclist, just a coffee drinker. The drip was bitter; the latte was good. Every single espresso drink is only two shots. So the bigger the size, the more milk. The sizes and prices are similar to many coffee bars in Fulton Market- this was surprising for a suburban coffee shop. They have donuts to eat. That’s it.Dietary restrictions: They only have donuts.

Coffee, didn't see much for food besides delicious muffins and donuts. My best friend runs his own cafe and roaster, and he came here with me to taste the coffee, and he says this is one of the best he's seen in the country. For me, I don't drink coffee, but I think this place deserves high reviews. Nice atmosphere, hipster-friendly ?Vegetarian options: They have GF optionsKid-friendliness: Kids seem welcome

My favorite cycling cafe!! We make this pit stop on our weekend rides. The coffee is great (we even buy the beans to brew at home) but they have all you need to re charge battery to continue your ride.

Pour over is very good at this place. Nice staff and atmosphere. The latte could be dialed in better. The one I had was a bit watery.
