Ice Ice Baby

cold brew and iced drinks are the obvious starting point here, and if you're making the trip out to il-64 in river forest, that's probably already what you're thinking. this part of the western suburbs sits far enough from the loop that people don't end up here by accident, which means the crowd tends to be local and the pace is a little more settled than you'd expect from a specialty spot. the menu leans toward chilled formats, and the shop has built enough of a following to suggest they're doing something consistently right on that front. river forest isn't a neighborhood you pass through, so coming here is a deliberate choice. make it on a warm afternoon and go straight for the iced coffee.
