An end to the first chapter.
Our move to the front of Supermercado Gonzalez is officially underway.
In the coming weeks, a lot will be evolving inside Gonzalez to create a new experience. As we transition to our new space, our menu will be pairing down to include your favorites and a couple of ours.
We anticipate operating out of our new space by July 23rd.
The last 5 1/2 years have been magical thanks to you. We’re excited to start a new chapter and continue our journey of elevating your coffee and grocery experience.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
Adam and Nydia

Cold Brew. Drip after drip, our cold brew process makes some of the best you’ll taste in the game.
The key to our cold brew starts with our Diamonds from Africa blend + a slow drip Japanese cold brew tower = perfection.
This summer we will be bottling and serving cold brew infused with fruits and herbs. Stay tuned for more.

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.
Each year, we’ve found new ways to support our loyalty program members. From bags of coffee to merch, the hope is that these tokens of appreciation are as special to you as you are to us.
As we get closer to the opening of our new space inside La Gonzalez, we’re excited to roll out new levels of experiences for our loyalty members. Without your support, kindness, and willingness to share all the dope things we are about.....we wouldn’t be here.
New loyalty shirts drop early next week. Totes are available in the shop.
Thanks for being a part of our dream to make Waukegan a better, stronger, more vibrant community.
See you soon.

Many thanks to our partners at the Center for Conservation Leadership for their belief in programming that exposes all communities to the healing power of nature.
