"Hooray for local coffee shops and businesses. Astra is a wonderful coffee shop in the heart of the Ravinia District that always has a handful of neighbors out front during the warmer months. It’s also a great place to bring your laptop and to get some work done."

"Beans Roasted in house! Why go anywhere else. Note: For the espresso heads, they use a light to medium roast for their espresso! Good news for the few in the know."

"Who writes these reviews?!? Poor coffee, unfriendly service, un-cozy interior. Had 1 bitter latte and 1 weak Americano that were discarded after a few sips. Unfortunate as the location is good. I did not purchase beans due to subpar, uncaring experience. Too many other establishments that deliver good coffee and service to return here."

"Amazing place, great coffee and great staff! They roast their own coffee. Ample space to sit and enjoy your coffee. Very reasonable prices as well. This is the last coffee shop to grab some before you go to the beach. Would highly recommend the place"

"Coffee okay. Bennison’s pastries pretty good, but rarely available at opening. Has all the atmosphere of a converted DMV testing room but with worse lighting (fluorescent!!) and wallpaper that may have been purchased in 1955 at a going out of business sale of Wallpaper to Make you Gag Store reflecting the $75 cost of decoration"
