Itβs about time that I finally reviewed this place. When they first opened, I was excited since theyβre located near my parentsβ place. That said, I didnβt have high expectations because many Oak Park coffee shops (exception Blue Max Coffee, RIP and Buzz Cafe is pretty good) are somewhat mediocre. Addiβs surprised me; the coffee has that nice smoky taste and when I visit oak park, I often stop by. The woman who works up front is also a great personality with unique taste in music. Check it out if you need a nice homey spot to read or meet a friend.
Excellent coffee and friendly staff. Iced honey cinnamon latte and savory waffle were so yummy!
Decent food and coffee. Very cute place.
I enjoyed a pour over coffee with one of the best avocado toasts to date, a flatbread slathered with avocado and parm flakes piled high on top. Not only were the staff friendly, but the other customers were friendly and smiling too. Its clearly a place to become a regular, but welcomes the new-comers. We sat on the leather sofa they had and enjoyed our time there.
Seldom is there a coffee shop where you get consistency of service, and to top it off, you feel genuinely welcomed. This gem of a place is a cozy spot in a not so heavily commuted part of Oak Park, that deserves much recognition.Much appreciation for the people working behind the counter who prepare their coffee, and other beverages and foods with much passion.
Fantastic, tasty waffles and a variety of drinks. We had the savory waffles, lavender waffles and the honey vanilla latte. All were excellent!
I judge every new coffee shop I visit by their chai, which probably seems odd, but Im not a coffee drinker. I have a tendency to believe that if a coffee shop takes care to create an amazing chai, then they must have good coffee as well. Addis Cafe creates homemade chai, and you can request it to be spicier or sweeter. I loved that since chai concentrates are often far too sweet.This coffee shop had some community seating as well as small and medium sized tables for group meets. The internet ran quickly, and the environment was clean and cozy.
I love this place! Great lattes, waffles, and vibe. Their delicious flavored lattes come with beautiful latte art. Ive enjoyed both savory and sweet waffles that push your imagination on how unique and delectable a waffle can be (southwest waffle with avocado and chipotle mayo, anyone? YUM.) This is my favorite place to bring my laptop, order breakfast, and settle in to get some work done in the chill, friendly environment.
Great menu, great owner. Delicious every time.
Addis is an awesome place for a breakfast meal and coffee/ latte/etc. Very friendly owner and staff and, of course, the coffee drinks are great! Its been our go-to during the pandemic and will continue to be post-COVID. Easily accessible with wifi.
The food was super appetizing. Certainly worth a return trip. Reminds me of a place in New York I liked to visit.
Love the Ethiopian flavors, especially in the Chai tea! Its spicy! The waffles are also delicious, I highly recommend trying out this coffee shop for something extraordinary among all the other local coffee shops.
Very high quality food. Youll wait a little longer and pay a little more but it is well worth it. Addis is a community treasure.
Cute CafΓ©, great artwork to buy and look at while waiting for a delicious coffee creation, meal or scone. Very friendly service and there are several hand made items for sale.
Im just adding that I love this place. theyre open, and its still excellent. You have to see the current new art/photo series. I almost took a picture to post here but you have to experience it live.
The egg sandwich was ok. They forgot to put the cheese on my sandwich plus little mayo shirasa sauce. The honey nutmeg latte was good.
Always so friendly, really tasty menu with limited choices done really, really well (the scones are so good!)They also have, in my opinion, the best coffee in Oak Park/Forest Park/River Forest. Probably Berwyn too, although I havent been to as many coffee shops there.
Delicious! Environmentally and Covid conscious.
I love how this place smells. I love the chai. I havent had a chance to try the food, but Id really like to.
Went in for take out this am. Super friendly. Tried the pourover coffee, ginger tumeric tea, egg sandwich and berry scone compote. Everything was delicious. The scone compote was perfect not to sweet. Highly recommend and will be a regular moving forward.
I absolutely love this cafe. The Ethiopian pour over coffe is so good!! Love all their baked goods too
One of the two top coffee shops in town and the one with the MOST amazing lattes and PHENOMENAL WAFFLES. Im excited to see more Ethiopian dishes coming on to the menu, too!!
I am so very glad that we found this place!! Their waffle menu is complete and offers options for everyone, including a truly incredible berry waffle. Good coffee, and yummy Ethiopian dishes that were enjoyed by the whole family.
Very nice place. The cold brew was good. The egg sandwich tasted good, but they could use more sophisticated bread, and give more options.
What can I say about this gem that hasnt already been said? There is no other place in Oak Park that does what they do- the coffee, the food and the atmosphere. The art work, the smoothies, the ginger- turmeric tea. I am so grateful for this place. It is a treat and a staple.
This place is absolutely amazing. The coffee is spot on and the waffles are some of the best Ive had. Ive recently read that the owners plan on shifting the cafe to a restaurant. I love the idea, however Oak Park is seriously struggling to keep a well done, gourmet coffee shop. And though I love Ethiopian food, I think the better business prospect is a coffee house. We all know that operating a restaurant carries slimmer profit margins, more operations, staff, and risk of food inventory spoiling. Coffee businesses are easier to streamline and market to a broader customer base. The coffee business they run today is awesome, and improving daily. I would hate to see something going so well drift to something else. In the mean time, I hope they read my review and consider the restaurant/coffee market and business economics of their options. Having lived here my entire life (27 years) the trend is that food restaurants come and go quickly and there is never a great coffee shop.
Absolutely delicious!!! The savory waffle is to die for. Whod have thunk spicy and cheese would go on a waffle. It is amazing. Fantastic sorry chai latte too! Everything looks as beautiful as it tastes! Pure craftsmanship.
I loved it the first time. This last visit was meh. Not good not bad, just not great. I got Mexican hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin. The coco wasnt as spicy as before and my bb muffin was banana nut. I had no time to go back and correct it (work). I still recommend Addis. They have good cafe food.
Ive lived in Oak Park my entire 21 years of living & just recently started going. After my first visit of getting an iced honey vanilla late, my order is memorized from easy ice to the owner politely correcting my late to an iced honey vanilla.True gem of Oak Park. A little pricey for a 16oz but the coffee is so worth it. Havent tried the waffles but if its as delicious as the coffee, WILL get them soon.Id consider myself a regular thats become memorable to this establishment.
Espresso, tumeric latte and honey vanilla latte are wonderful. This has become my go to coffee shop. Easy to miss but worth finding. They do have breakfast items as well-havent had them yet but they look amazing.
Love this place! Coffee is great, service is personal and great, the waffles and other items are top notch. I long to go there some winter day when theres 2 feet of new snow on the ground and lazily sit in the warm indoors sipping coffee half the morning.
Good coffee, good food, nice atmosphere.
Excellent service! Amazing coffee and food! Thank you
Adorable, quaint, and exactly what you want from a coffee house - small food menu where everything is delicious, high quality drinks from normal to unique, and such a fun customer base. Its the kind of place where regulars hang out and talk but leave enough room for others to come in and enjoy. Check it out!
Food and drinks were just good, not great. Good service, good atmosphere.
The best coffee spot in Oak Park.
The iced tea I had was amazing! Very nice atmosphere and very clean. Parking was surprisingly simple and I look forward to trying the turmeric latte next time.
Coffee was delicious and they had lovely art displays. Good place to hang out to do work, saw several people eating and working on their laptops.
Great coffee. A bit slow. Very cleans and friendly staff.
So glad this place is in my neighborhood. Good pour over. Good beans. Cant wait to come back and try the waffles!
Kelsey is the best barista ever. Had the best Iced Americano of my life here!
Very good coffee. Excellent waffles. Friendly staff. Cant wait until they start introducing more lunch dishes.
A good cup of coffee and a warm scone. Not a bad way to start the day.
Thank you so much for always made my day with terrific taste of coffee..
Excellent coffee. Very pleasant. Great place to escape. Awesome coffee and staff
Delicious & beautiful lattes, spicy chai, green tea lattes, a yummy egg sandwich, good waffle varieties, and baked goods from the Happy Apple.
Masters of the pourover, incredible bagels, waffles, and pastries. Best coffee in the west suburbs, hands down.
Great place to relax and have coffee and get a little bite while youre there
Great little spot. Had a delicious latte and omelette.
Clean, friendly coffee shop with good waffles and assorted food items. I enjoyed my stay and the food was delicious.
BEST coffee shop around!!
Great waffles. Go check them out.
Delicious coffee. Lattes are a little different than you find most places (think honey nutmeg and tumeric) and are excellent.
This is my favorite coffee shop. I love the honey vanilla latte. Their waffles are to die for.
Hand brewed and filtered coffee so expect to spend sometime waiting for your coffee. They also have a breakfast special of the day and tasty waffles and scones.
This place is so clean and professional looking!
Great salted caramel latte and cayenne mocha. Fabulous scone. Must try!
Good coffee, very personable, comfortable environment and reasonable prices.
Fabulous coffee, wonderful staff and a vibe that demands you sit to drink your coffee
The vanilla honey latte with soy milk is fantastic! Ill have to try the cayenne mocha next time. Thank you!
I was hesitant to go to a place that doesnt have a website and only serves waffles, coffee, and chai. But the food and chai was FANTASTIC. Im looking forward to great service and delicious waffles again.
Such A great cozy cafe.
Addis is a friendly little neighborhood gem serving up housemade specialties. Addis excels in chai, spicy mochas, lavender earl grey steamers, and honey lattes. The pour over coffees are each made to order. They make delicious crunchy yet spongy waffles (think delicate balance of your favorite brownie), and they make yummy scones and eggy bagels. We enjoy their community vibe and lightning fast Wi-Fi. High quality local art adorns the walls and touchs of Ethiopian flair embellish the space with nod to the owners heritage. Just steps from the blue line el train, this cafe is perfect for a pick-me-up before popping downtown. Great service, nice guests. Well be back time and again.
The owner is working the espresso machine to great results. Hes serious about his coffee and the flavor shows.
Coffee was amazing, very sweet notes. The atmosphere made me uncomfortable though. Really odd layout.
Great place to grab a quality prepared coffee and waffle. Ive never been disappointed here.
If you like spicy chai tea, this is it!!
Donβt recommend eating eating the food. Male employee did not wear gloves and bare handled my bagel to cut it and put cream cheese on. He also bare handled several of the scones, muffins, etc. His main function between the three employees was food - there was a cashier, barista, and he toasted the food.
Homey feel and good coffee
Every time, I come to Addis, the service is always warm and personal and the menu keeps you coming back. The Cayenne Mocha is my favorite. Addis fits well into all that is Oak Park!
Great warm lovely place, best waffles I have ever had, amiable staff
Excellent coffee try gebraltar latte savoury waffles are phenomenal.
Service and atmosphere is friendly, but it took fifteen minutes to get a double espresso and mocha with no one else in line. Espresso was extremely sour :/
The vanilla honey latte and chai were amazing. The service was superb. I will definitely go back again when visiting the Chicagoland area.
Warm vibe. Kalki is a gracious host making this coffee shop an oasis from the hectic world outside.
Nice coffee and bagel. Good service!
Amazing espresso-best in Oak Park! Owner is absolutely lovely!
Great pour over coffee, seriously delicious waffles, relaxed a d friendly atmosphere.
We love supporting local businesses. Their coffee is tasty, too!
Salted caramel latte was great!
Great Chai tea and waffles, good tunes. I enjoy working in this cafe on occasion. Free, fast Wi-Fi.
Ive had the best coffee here in my life. Idk how but they make the best americanos for me. Usually coffee has a burnt taste in my mouth but theirs is really smooth and delicious. They have true craftsmanship there. Plus the waffles were good too. I had mine to go so i didnt get the real experience. Still golden brown and fluffy though.
Best coffee around and the staff is so friendly
Great coffee, the best pastries, amazing art work, genuinely friendly staff.
Nice coffee shop with friendly service and good coffee
Great service & delicious food
Good place to sit with a cup of great coffee
Addis has the best waffles, pourovers, cappuccinos, and London Fogs in Oak Park
Supreme quality in coffee, waffles, and customer service, definitely going back tomorrow!
Some of the best coffee in Oak Park! Never had the waffles, but they look awesome.
Friendly, quiet, quaint coffee shop.
Great place for pour over coffee.
Awesome. Transports you back to the cafes in Addis.
