It started as an experiment, and now it’s the drink our regulars refuse to let us take off the seasonal menu. The beloved Baklava Latte was formerly an exclusive drink at our Libertyville café, but it was met with such rave reviews that we knew it needed a semi-permanent spot on the seasonal menu at all of our cafes. 

Looking for the perfect space to host your next event? Why not use your favorite coffee shop? Whether you’re throwing a birthday party, shower, corporate get-together, reunion, or holiday bash, we’re here to help make your next event one to remember.

Last Saturday, we hosted our very first Latte Art Throw Down at our Roastery in Libertyville! We had an amazing turnout of baristas, home coffee enthusiasts, cafe folks, and community members all coming together to compete and celebrate the craft of latte art. The night was a wonderful reminder of the incredible coffee community that we are so lucky to be a part of. 

This past Memorial Day weekend, here at Libertyville, we celebrated our second birthday! Two Septembers ago, the cafe at the roastery opened its doors for the first time, bringing longtime Tala fans a glimpse into the process, as well as another cafe to love.

Let’s face it, holiday shopping can be a drag. So many people on your list and so little time! No matter how often we fool ourselves into thinking we’ll be proactive next year, the time slips away from us. Luckily, we’ve figured out the best gifts to give all of your loved ones so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the tala-days!

There’s something special about walking into Tala Coffee. It’s not just the rich scent of freshly brewed espresso or the low hum of conversation that greets you, there’s a feeling of history in the air, woven into the very floor beneath your feet.

Boy are we thankful for yet another Small Business Saturday! We love a good reason to celebrate around here–especially when it means celebrating the people and the community that are constantly supporting us.
