Perkolator Coffee

Perkolator is a neighborhood cafe and roastery in Portage Park, where it all started back in 2014. The bright, welcoming room acts as a hub for the community, a place where people gather to connect, work, create and enjoy freshly roasted coffee, hand crafted drinks, made from scratch sandwiches and pastries.

The seasonal drinks menu is built on homemade ingredients and flavors, and there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Seating is both indoors and out, free wifi is available, and beans, tea and subscriptions can be ordered online or picked up. The corner storefront on West Irving Park Road opens at seven on weekdays and at eight on weekends, closing at three every day.
