Coffee Lab & Roasters

The environment and our community are important to us. There is an obvious reduction of carbon emissions when we choose to bike instead of drive, but we are further decreasing our carbon footprint by keeping our bike manufacturing here at home. Our eco-friendly bikes are built with American steel, welded and assembled locally. Chicago hasn't seen a production run of locally fabricated bike since the '70s, when Schwinn left. We're here changing that.

Coffee shop that goes beyond the industry standard experience. To say the least.

Chicago, IL

You will come for the coffee but you will stay for the atmosphere, beauty, and elegance of this café. The perfect place to connect, relax, and brew over ideas.

Our primary purpose is to build community through good coffee, good food with great friends. Our concept is to focus on quality blends with an inviting aroma and unmatched taste to leave every person with a smile. Our desire is to bring to the neighborhood a cuisine that will intrigue connoisseurs with elevated coffee, and delectable sandwiches.

Just about everything we serve is made-from-scratch in house using mostly organic, non-GMO ingredients. Our staff are highly trained to deliver exceptional quality. At Pedestrian we care about people from the coffee farm to the end consumer. From sourcing and roasting our farm-to-table coffee to handing it off to you in the cafe, our priority it to treat all people with kindness. This means we pay top prices to coffee growers. It also means that whatever your background is—you’re welcome here. Hope to see you soon.
