You walk in whenever you want—morning rush, afternoon break, or late evening—and get exactly the coffee you’re craving. No waiting in line behind someone ordering five complicated drinks. No wondering if today’s latte will taste the same as yesterday’s.
Our self-serving coffee machines deliver consistent, café-quality beverages every single time. Choose your strength, pick your milk, adjust the temperature. It’s your coffee, made your way, without the premium coffee shop prices or the hit-or-miss quality you get elsewhere.
You’re not just getting coffee. You’re getting reliability, speed, and the freedom to enjoy great coffee on your schedule, not ours.
We serve Elmhurst’s incredibly diverse community—the place where neighbors from dozens of countries call home. We’re not trying to be another generic coffee chain.
We understand that Elmhurst residents want quality coffee without the Manhattan prices, and they want a space that actually feels like part of the neighborhood. Our combination of advanced self-serve technology and rotating local art creates something different: a place where you can grab your perfect cup of coffee while experiencing the creativity that makes this community special.
Whether you’re heading to work, meeting a friend, or just need a quiet moment with great coffee, we’ve created a space that works for real Elmhurst life.
Walk up to our self-serving coffee machine and select your drink from the touchscreen. Choose your size, coffee strength, milk type, and any flavoring you want. The machine grinds fresh beans, extracts your espresso or coffee, and steams your milk to the perfect temperature.
Your drink is ready in under two minutes, made exactly to your specifications every time. Pay with your card, phone, or cash—whatever’s easiest for you.
While you’re here, take a look at the local artwork on display. Many pieces are for sale, and the exhibits change regularly, so there’s always something new to discover. You can sit and enjoy your coffee in our comfortable seating area, or take it with you—whatever fits your day.
Ready to get started?
Every cup comes from our advanced self-serving coffee machines that use freshly ground beans and real milk—not the powdered stuff you find in typical vending machines. You get the same quality you’d expect from a premium coffee shop, but faster and more affordable.
Our rotating art gallery features work from local Elmhurst artists, giving you something interesting to look at while you enjoy your coffee. The pieces change monthly, so regular visitors always have something new to discover.
In a neighborhood as diverse as Elmhurst, we’ve designed our space to be welcoming to everyone. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee before catching the subway, meeting friends for a longer conversation, or just want a quiet place to work with reliable WiFi, our setup adapts to what you need.
Our machines use freshly ground coffee beans and real milk, not instant coffee or powdered milk substitutes. The brewing system is calibrated to extract coffee at optimal temperature and pressure, while the milk steaming system creates proper microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos.
Each machine performs automatic cleaning cycles throughout the day to maintain hygiene and taste consistency. The grinder settings and extraction parameters are professionally calibrated and monitored to ensure every cup meets café-quality standards.
You’re getting the same quality coffee you’d expect from a skilled barista, but with the consistency that only comes from precision-engineered equipment.
You can choose from espresso, americano, latte, cappuccino, flat white, and hot chocolate. Each drink is customizable—select your size (small, medium, or large), coffee strength (mild, regular, or strong), and milk type including dairy, oat, almond, or soy milk.
The machines also offer flavoring syrups like vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut if you want to customize your drink further. For those who prefer simpler options, we also have regular drip coffee available.
All drinks are made fresh when you order them, not sitting in a pot for hours like you might find elsewhere.
We’re open extended hours to serve Elmhurst’s diverse schedules—early morning commuters, late-shift workers, and everyone in between. Our self-serving coffee machines allow us to maintain consistent service even during typically slow periods when other cafes might reduce staff.
The machines operate reliably throughout our open hours, so you don’t have to worry about arriving when equipment is down for cleaning or maintenance. We perform major cleaning and restocking during off-peak hours to minimize any disruption to service.
Check our current hours posted at the location, as we occasionally adjust them based on community needs and seasonal patterns.
Our self-serve model allows us to offer café-quality coffee at prices typically 20-30% lower than traditional coffee shops. You’re not paying for extensive labor costs, but you’re still getting the same high-quality ingredients and brewing technology.
A regular latte costs significantly less than what you’d pay at premium chains, while still delivering the same taste and quality. Specialty milk alternatives and flavor additions are available for small additional charges, clearly displayed on the machine’s screen before you complete your order.
We believe great coffee should be accessible to everyone in our community, not just those who can afford premium pricing every day.
Absolutely. The self-serve machines offer more customization options than most traditional coffee shops. You control every aspect of your drink—strength, size, milk type, temperature, and flavorings—all through an intuitive touchscreen interface.
Unlike ordering from a barista where your preferences might be interpreted differently each time, the machine remembers exactly what you select and prepares it identically every time. You can experiment with different combinations until you find your perfect drink, then order it the same way consistently.
Many customers find they actually get more control over their coffee this way, since they’re not limited by a barista’s interpretation of “extra strong” or “light foam.”
Yes, we have comfortable seating areas designed for different needs. Whether you want to quickly drink your coffee while checking the latest art exhibition, settle in with a laptop for some work, or have a conversation with friends, we have spaces that work.
The café includes both individual seating for people working alone and larger tables for groups or meetings. We offer free WiFi and have accessible power outlets for devices. The atmosphere is designed to be welcoming for both quick visits and longer stays.
Our rotating art gallery gives you something interesting to look at and talk about, making it a more engaging environment than typical coffee shops. The combination of great coffee and local art creates a unique community space in Elmhurst.
