Pilot Pete's Coffee & Treats

Such a wonderful (and tiny!) coffee shop. I am really glad I stepped outside my Brewpoint comfort zone and added Pilot Pete's to my coffee shop rotation. The barista (whose name I forgot - sorry!) was very kind and offered great suggestions. There seemed to be a solid crowd of regulars and the barista knew all of them. It is such a cozy shop! I also liked their baked goods. I recommend this shop if you are commuting to Chicago or shopping in downtown Elmhurst. Can't wait to be back :)

Another favorite must have stop on our Chicago journey!! "When in Rome", as they say. Do not miss their fabulous drinks & sweets!! For real, y'all!!! My iced coconut dream will leave me longing for more on our long trip home. My daughter's crème brûlée latte was equally amazing. Their muffins & scones were also super yummy....but that cinnamon coffee cake could require an intervention if we stayed too long. Definitely should have gotten at least 6 more slices. Sorry we didn't even get pictures of the eats before they were devoured!!
We would have liked to explore the whole area a bit more. Guess we will have to return soon!

Pilot Pete's has the best coffee in town and the staff couldn't be friendlier! I highly recommend, especially if you're taking the train into the city!

I wanted to see what the 5 star rating was all about. I love supporting small businesses because they usually make the best products-- this place is not only no exception, but is hands down the most amazing cafe you'll ever have the pleasure of visiting.

Aside from rich, flavorful, delectable coffee done to whatever your personal definition of perfect may be, they also offer truly outstanding apple cider. Plus, their flavors are so creative and tasty! You have GOT to try their Toasted S'mores latte-- but if you don't need any caffeine, their fall special for apple cider is the best beverage I've ever had-- and that's coming from a Wisconsinite that used to love visiting apple orchards!

In short, no matter what type of drink you're looking for, I can guarantee you will find a new favorite stop in this little train-station shop. All their drinks are hand-crafted with unprecedented quality, and their service will always make you feel welcomed and satisfied.

Try this place-- you won't regret it!

Came with my friend and told them I wasn't going to order anything because I had my free Starbucks birthday drink today. Pete said they go all out for birthdays & that he'd make me a birthday drink. Ordered a berry matcha crush & got this cinnamon roll (and a another fun surprise). One of the kindest people & nicest experiences ever. 100% coming back soon!!

Excellent coffee, one of many hidden gems.
The service was excellent, great conversation as you wait which is not long.

Thank you Pete for not only the delicious drinks, but graciously staying open for several minutes after close to accommodate us new patrons.

Your drinks were amazing, but your genuine kindness will have us back!!!

Phenomenal! This place is like a mixology/cocktail bar but for coffee! For anyone who appreciates great coffee and cool drinks this is your dream spot! Come in, take in the very unique menu and indulge! We love the Monkey Paradise and the Mint Latte!!

If I'm going to go to a custom coffee shop filled with love, the family staff that is helpful and patient, Pilot Pete's Coffee and treats is certainly where that is at!

I recommend the monkey in paradise, mocha with coconut. Thankfully for those of us with dairy allergies they have substitutes.

Never under estimate what coffee can do for you! The fact that I left my house 30 mins earlier to make it to this gem on time! Pete is friendly, likes to converse with the customer, and really wants to know what kinds of drinks you are into. This is located in the Elmhurst metra station..there was easy parking right outside the station. You really can't miss it. It is surprising to me that there are so many coffee shops in downtown Elmhurst, but yet they all are different in taste and ambiance.

I had the Handcrafted speciality drink.. Dark Mocha Mission. It was just delicious! I will deff go back when I have some more time to try other beverages. There is a tip box there as well..pick a surprise quote and change your perspective! You can join the VIP Rewards Club for multiple check ins and to earn rewards.

*Always always tip your barista..they take the time to make your beverage to your standards :)
