"Such a cute little coffee shop right outside of Chicago! The downstairs café has a cozy vibe, great drinks, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Upstairs, they have an event space where they host live music, karaoke, and open mic events. I saw a really good local band play here, their name is constantheadacheisaband. It’s the perfect spot to grab a coffee, relax, or enjoy a show. This place is definitely worth a visit!"

"I’ve been coming to Ashburys for several years, and while I’m not a hard regular I’d come every other week or so for the tiramisu and a drink. The food and drinks are great, and I really used to like coming here. I hate to give the place 3 stars but after trying to enjoy myself multiple times, the same employee just ruins the experience and we likely won’t be back again. The dude who was working here Monday Dec 29th at 3 PM has the absolute worst attitude. I hate singling out specific employees in reviews because everyone has a bad day, and if this were a one-time thing I wouldn’t have bothered. But I hate risking getting him as a barista, because he seems to loathe working here and acts like people ordering coffee and getting locked in an Iron Maiden are the same thing. My roommate ordered a Jack Frost latte, and the barista acknowledged his order and then proceeded to putz around, make weird faces at my roommate while we stood and waited, and then wandered off to side to sit and crack open a canned drink. We waited a few more minutes before another set of customers came in and we figured it was another bad visit and left without his coffee or a refund because it wasn’t worth another unpleasant interaction with the guy. It’s a shame because the drink he made today was pretty good. I never have these interactions with the other baristas, who are always very kind, so I have no idea what his deal is. I don’t even want him to get in trouble! Maybe someone can just remind him he’s making coffee, not getting drafted into the war."

"Lovely little hang out spot. It's giving "friends" vibes, but with an alternative / indie twist. And the French silk pie was to die for. SO GOOD."

"I definitely felt the Willow Springs haunted vibe in this coffee shop. If you have a sweet tooth you will love it here. The flavors are endless from English Toffee Mocha to German Chocolate Mocha. Muffins and Donuts to choose from. Cool vibe."

"My brother and I first visited Ashbary Coffee House a few days ago. My brother is a Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq in 2003 and has a legally protected service animal for PTSD. During our first visit, everything was great. A staff member noticed the service animal, treated us respectfully, and the service and atmosphere were excellent. He even gave us a punch card for a free coffee, which made us want to return. We came back today, just minutes ago, and had a completely different experience. As soon as we stepped inside, a man behind the counter yelled, “We don’t want dogs in here.” My brother calmly explained that it was his service animal, but the man repeated it more forcefully and then walked away. We felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome, so we left. This was not a pet or a stray dog—this is a trained service animal that my brother relies on daily due to PTSD from his military service. Being treated this way, especially after a positive first experience, was disappointing and upsetting. I hope management addresses this, because no veteran—or anyone with a service animal—should ever be treated like this."
