🚧 Construction Outside. Cozy Inside.
If you’ve driven past Oak Park Ave lately, you’ve probably noticed the construction at the main intersection of our store.
We’re still here. We’re still baking. And parking is actually easier than it looks!
✔ 90 minutes FREE in 'The Avenue Garage' 720 North Blvd
✔ All-day free street parking on Sundays
It might take a few extra steps, but we promise it’s worth it.
And if you’re not already part of our rewards program, now’s a great time to join.
For the remainder of February score extra points with each visit!
And since we love all of you dearly, Elmhurst is included in the promo too 🥰
Warm coffee. Fresh pastries. Breakfast that doesn’t come from a drive-thru.
We can’t wait to see you.
