Kindred Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in West Chicago

I am really happy I stumbled into this place accidentally. I stopped by for a coffee on my way to do some computer work, but fell in love with the ambience I stayed for 2.5 hours and worked at the shop. It’s SUPER clean, bright, quiet (in the best possible way), the staff is very friendly, as are the patrons. It looks small from the front but there’s a larger sit down area in the back, they are VERY family friendly- I think I saw an ample supply of kids games. I appreciate this because as a parent, it’s hard to go get a cup of coffee with my husband and sit down to drink it when we have the kids with us. It’s definitely appreciated that they have activities to keep kids engaged. Oh yeah, their coffee is great too lol. I’m Cuban-American and I have been spoiled with some high quality brew since the age of 4 yo, so I like to pretend I’m a connoisseur of good coffee. I ordered a cup of coffee, no sugar and a splash of cream and it was great. I could taste that the beans were fresh; there was definitely a brightness and delicate taste to their brew. It didn’t taste burned or reheated or stale, and the caffeine definitely hit me 20 minutes in lol. It was a DAMN good cup of coffee for like $3 with free refills, I HIGHLY approve. I also noticed they have some sandwich options but I can’t speak to that (yet). I’m looking forward to going back, supporting a small business with high quality products in my adopted home town, and enjoy being out of the house and feeling like life is back to normal. I hope this place stays in WC for a long time, because I want to become a regular there!
