Wise Cup

First time coming to this cute hidden gem coffee shop.
Great experience, one of the best services I have received in OakPark. Love the samosas and the hot cross bun.
My husband got the Mayan Mocha which he enjoyed quite well. Will be back.

Cute spot but super tiny - I wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't been here before but if you're meeting a friend or group, come early!

Friendly atmosphere and some tables to sit and work. There must be wifi because I saw plenty of people working on laptops.

Cute little spot in oak park. If only parking were easier it would be a nice coffee shop to stop on the way to work. If you're walking, it's super convenient.

We were looking for a new coffee shop to try out after visiting Trailside Museum and came across Wise Cup. This downtown area is pretty nice. Wise Cup is a little hard to spot, but it's next to the theater.

The interior is very small. A few bar seats and a few two-person tables. The washroom was large and seemed clean. Service was friendly and the menu had some unique drinks like Mexican mocha. They also have tea, some pastries and donuts, and apparently some Indian food items like samosas.

We ordered a cappuccino and a blossom latte for dine-in. I appreciated the mugs because it reduces waste, and the presentation was very nice. The drinks were just okay, though. The milk foam on the cappuccino wasn't as dense as I like. The latte only had mild floral flavor. Neither drink was bad, but nothing exceptional.

I enjoy Wise Cup more than other local coffee shops because they have fresh pastries and great drinks at affordable prices. The only downside is the wait; I'd say it takes, on average, about 10 minutes to have your order taken and to get a drink. One morning, I stopped in and ordered a pastry and a hot drink. After waiting 12 minutes, I realized I was going to be late for a meeting if I stayed, so I asked if I could come back in 30 minutes and get my paid-for order then. They happily agreed. When I returned, I was excited and expected them to make my order fresh. To my surprise, it was sitting there ready for me. This upset me because it must have been sitting the entire time I was gone. I brushed it off, but when I returned home and took my first sip, it was the wrong drink. I was upset and frustrated because I had been incredibly patient, only to be given the wrong drink.

On a cold, dreary, rainy day, I met a friend for coffee. Located in the heart of Oak Park, the area was busy and this tiny coffee shop was bustling.

From the outside, the place looks cozy & charming. The big storefront windows were steamed up, leaving me wondering what was inside...

A huge bar on the right takes up most of the room. An adorable sitting area was in the front. One larger table to accommodate a small group and a line of small tables hug the left wall. They make good use of their limited space.

I saw regulars come and go. A few neighbors sat at the bar sipping and chatting. It gave off a real friendly feel. The staff were very nice and helpful. One regular asked me why I took a photo of the sign and when I told him it was for Yelp, he quickly said, "You better say something good! This is the best coffee shop in town!" So there you have it.

I ordered a Turtle Latte at my friend's recommendation. It was delicious but I started noticing all the fantastic flavor combinations and decided I must return to try more.

Overall, this small spot offers great service and delicious beverages. It was a bit of a tight squeeze but they make it work. I am a definite fan!

The matcha latte and lavender latte are my go-to's. There is usually one person behind the counter, be prepared to wait. Don't go if you're in a hurry.

Downtown Oak Park, IL has just the best coffee places. @wise_cup is a great example. Good and drink options that Indian inspired. I wish I was going to be in town for their Indian Pop up lunch - Indian Tacos and Samosas - YES.
The Mango Lassi is a must try. It is made with homemade yogurt.
Staff is friendly and precise in completing orders.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops ever. Its small and quiet, they have indoor seating with comfy seats. Outside seating is nice and sunny, maybe a bit loud. The drinks are amazing I usually go for the kashmiri latte if I want something caffeinated of the mango lassi if I want something decaf. Both are wonderful. The food here is limited but good. It takes awhile but try a samosa they come hot with chutney. Or if you come in the morning they have daily bagel and doughnuts. I promise you nothing is better than sitting with a coffee, a samosa, and a good book.

Wise cup is hands down the best coffee shop in Oak Park and even the surrounding area for just about anyone who wants quality coffee, coffee shop food, service, and especially a nice peaceful interment to work or have a nice little conversation. On top of all of this, they have (coming from me, an Indian person) pretty much the only descent Indian food in the area with the monthly pop-ups, as well as samosas and deferent Indian drinks available daily. And as the cherry on top it is a locally, Asian, and female owned business. I could not recommend them more.

I visited wise cup and the place is outstanding. It's nice to see the paintings of famous women in the walls. The flavor of the coffee was delicious. Good taste compared to other mocha coffees I have tried before. Service is great too.
