Our Highwood cafe is located in the north bays of the recently decommissioned fire station on Green Bay road. This location represents a beautiful heritage of service and community and a rich history in Highwood. We are honored to repurpose the naturally gorgeous building for a cafe, and we hope that it brings with it a different and new source of community and service using coffee as it’s medium.

There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.
The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.
And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.
Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.

If you have ever lived in the city you probably know how hard it is to find a great coffee shop in the suburbs. Well, look no further because Tala Coffee Roasters is where it’s at! We found this coffee shop gem a little over a month ago and we make the 25 min drive from Wheeling almost every weekend just to get ourselves drinks. It’s located in an old Fire Station and the inside feels industrial modern. It’s definitely got plenty of space to sit down for a chat or to do some work. Their lattes are incredible – smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced every single time. It’s rare to find a place where the quality is this consistent, but Tala delivers with every visit. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you know exactly what kind of delicious drink you’re going to get. Vibes are great and the baristas are friendly. I truly am what someone may consider a “coffee snob” and even I 10/10 would recommend.

I didn’t discover good pour over coffee until I lived in Asia from 2015 to 2017. Since coming home, I’m always on the hunt for a well done pour over. This place now takes the cake for the absolute best pour over I’ve had in the last 8 years. I ordered a light roast and all the flavors came through, bright, brilliant, acidic, just the way it ought to be.
Also, the old fashioned donut was delicious

Cute coffee shop with a unique vibe. I enjoyed their coffee + lattes but it’s a bit pricey for the amount you get. I enjoy really strong cold brews+ lattes and felt it wasn’t as strong as I like but it was still good. The baristas are friendly as well and there’s a lot of seating for those looking for a place to work.

Absolutely love Tala. I firstly want to emphasize how friendly the staff is. They’ve helped me many times as a new-to-coffee drinker and are always very accommodating. The menu features many classics but their specials menu is where it’s at, and rotates throughout the year. But their matcha is the best and has officially made me a matcha lover. Also love their small but delicious baked goods options, which include gluten free muffins! Great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and typically quiet atmosphere with easy parking, but can get quite busy at peak times, especially weekends.

Very cute place, full of seating. Great place to study and work. Plenty of outlets & good wifi.
The staff were very nice! I felt at ease the entire time.
Bathroom is shared with the restaurant next door. Also with the cold weather it can be a little chilly if you sit by the windows.
Coffee & donut was delicious!

Amazing local coffee brewery. My husband and I love the flavor combinations. We have also purchased coffee to ship as g gifts. The team is extremely knowledgeable something you would not find at another coffee house.
I can’t praise them enough! On that note I think I’ll head over for a coffee!

Tala Coffee Roasters is an absolute gem! Their coffee is top-notch—rich, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Whether you’re a fan of a smooth latte or a bold pour-over, they always deliver perfection in every cup. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done.
The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to recommend something based on your taste. You can tell they truly care about quality and customer experience. If you’re a coffee lover, Tala is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for an iced latte , I got to say I really enjoyed the coffee , the flavor , I loved it, the service was exceptional. Exceptional with the great recommendations. The size of the drinks is just a little small for a coffee lover like me. The large is more of a medium and the small is pretty small. I liked the flavor, for the price the size doesn’t match. Would come back on flavor and coffee and service . Excellent spot

My favorite cycling cafe!! We make this pit stop on our weekend rides. The coffee is great (we even buy the beans to brew at home) but they have all you need to re charge battery to continue your ride.
