Coffee, tea, and me - That Coffee Shop, Elmhurst

I love coffee. And coffee shops. And Elmhurst. There is one block especially has so many businesses I frequent on it, including my salon, my favorite wine bar, a Lou Malnati's, a great ice cream place and a fab tea store. So the addition of "That" Coffee Shop, 124 Park Ave., Elmhurst, is right up my perfect little alley. Street.

The atmosphere is simple and cozy: Wood floors lit by the sun, comfy leather recliners (unusual), tables with comfy benches on one side and a little nook that looked perfect for curling up with a book.

They serve Metropolis coffee, which is awesome in my book, although on my first visit, I had an iced chai, which was delightful and refreshing. They have a variety of coffee drinks, Torani syrups, tea, hot chocolate and Italian sodas.

Edible delights included biscotti, cookies, yogurt parfaits and other tasty-looking treats. Oh, and free Wifi!

I can see myself frequenting this place. Probably with a friend in tow for some good conversation and coffee.
