The Wild Roaster

Don't miss this cozy cafe next to the Metra Station. Their croissants are the best around. So buttery & flaky, with a crisp exterior, yet fluffy middle. The cherry pie also was delicious -- big cherries, and it's not too sweet. Perfect accompaniment to their hot coffee. Speaking of coffee, they professionally roast their own coffee beans in small batches for a delicious, unique coffee taste you can't find anywhere else. You can see the small but mighty heavy-duty machine they use for this in the window! And to top it all off, the owner, Kay was so warm and welcoming. Definitely will buy coffee and treats from here again!

A little gem tucked right into the train station. The hot chocolate was creamy and the raspberry croissant was delicious. The barista, I think her name was Ari, was as welcoming as can be and made the experience even better. Exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble upon while traveling. Highly recommend.

Passing thru and thought this would be a fun coffee stop. Was not disappointed! Chocolate chip scone was well balanced - not too chocolatey. The apricot jam on my breakfast croissant lent the perfect sweetness to a pretty savory dish. Breve latte was great! The staff was friendly and charmingly disorganized. I'll be coming back next time my travels allow.

Fab place! Delicious baked good and delicious coffee. We love coming here for bags of coffee for home as well. Great staff. Friendly, professional. I really enjoy supporting a woman-owned, locally-owned business like this. This is going to be my go-to place when I need treats and drinks for my real estate business.

I love the employees! When we came in the coffee shop, we were greeted by the owner. The employees were really nice, one of them had short hair and helped us clean the table outside. The cashier was also very nice, helped us with adding cinnamon powder to our coffee. Love the people here :)
