Tala Coffee Roasters - Libertyville Cafe

Tala Coffee Roasters' Libertyville café has a window onto the roaster. It's roomy, with high ceilings, plants and a private meeting room. It can run cool, so bring a layer. Outdoor seating is limited. Baristas remember regulars' drinks.

Try the Unit B, the Bonebreaker or a lavender latte, or add bourbon vanilla syrup. Pour-overs are best when it's not busy. Pastries come from Holcomb (gluten-free) and Gurnee Donut. They also offer local delivery and subscriptions.
