Whirlwind Coffee Company

Whirlwind Coffee Company on Madison Street in Oak Park gives 100% of net profits to charities and community groups. It's a small shop with big windows, a patio, limited outlets and often a line. The music can be loud. Dogs stay outside and get pup cups.

They roast their own. The Colombian single-origin espresso is a favorite. Try the cold brew with maple and banana syrup over oat milk, a mocha or a breve. Donuts come Fridays and Saturdays, and there are chocolate chip cookies.
