Independent neighborhood coffee shop in uptown Blue Island, IL. Proudly serving exceptional lattes, matcha drinks, local pastries and panini pressed breakfast burritos.
Studious is located in a renovated 1800s brick storefront (most recently a paint shop in the 90s) that we’ve converted into a warm and welcoming cafe with great music playing through our acoustically tuned, one of a kind vintage hi-fi system. Look forward to seeing you!

Stopped in to study and ordered a spinach feta pastry and a latte. The pastry was good, the latte was lukewarm warm and not in a to-go cup as requested….. when I asked for it to be made hotter, the cashier was like, “you have to pay for hot milk, it’s not free” like how rude. I wish I could take my tip back. So hot steamed milk was $1.11 for maybe an ounce …. Like okay bruh, usually milk is .75 .

Real old school 90s coffeehouse vibes. It’s cozy, warm, a little dark. Creative, funky. Good music and sound. This place has it all. Oh yeah, good coffee too! My dogs liked the donut. Not pretentious and not generic. I am so impressed! Just moved back to the southside after 20 years in Northern and Southern California & places like this make me not regret that decision.

Stopped in today as I work from home and like to venture out every once in a while. Studious is warm and cozy! Loved the vibe, staff was great and helpful as I explained it was my first time. I ordered the Peppermint Mocha with house made syrup and the Studious Breakfast sandwich, both were delicious! Love the sauce!!
I absolutely love cold brew and although it’s 10* out, I got a cold brew to go, not my favorite cold brew but to each their own! Will definitely be back!!

Just had my first experience at this coffee shop, and wow, I’m impressed! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Lily, who was super friendly and took my order with a smile. I ordered a Chai Latte w/almond milk, and Kayla, who made it, went above and beyond by asking about my sweetness preference. She added a touch of vanilla, and let me tell you, it was the best chai latte I’ve ever had! As someone who works nearby at Ophelia’s Banquets, I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here. Highly recommend!

Who said the great coffee shops are only in the north side of Chicago?! Ditch the big name coffee shops, if you can, and shop small business!
This place was not only unique and absolutely stunning inside and out, but the vanilla cappuccino was SO delicious. The blueberry muffin was tasty! I wish it was a tad bit sweeter, but combining it with the cappuccino was the move. They make their own flavored sweeteners. The vanilla one was just the perfect amount of vanilla flavor and sweetener. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you are getting. The staff was super nice and informative. They sell cool merch, such as T-shirts. I’m so glad I found out about this hidden gem! I can’t wait to try more of their menu.
Vanilla Cappuccino 10/10
Blueberry Muffin 8/10

Great coffee, pastries and vibes. Love their cold brew with some oat milk and cafe de olla syrup
P.S. they also use their cold brew for the espresso martinis at Rock Island down the street and *chefs kiss* so delicious!

This place is amazing. There are only two staff members so it’s a bit of a wait but nothing too crazy. I had a latte and a bagel with cream cheese and it was all around delicious. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting, this is what Blue Island needs. Who needs to head downtown or up north for great coffee when it’s right here? You could see that the barista makes each drink with a lot of care. I’m definitely going to be coming here often, and not just because I love their cat clock 🙂

I come here often and the team always does a great job here. I met a new face behind the counter, Trinity, and she gives excellent service here. This hidden gem is something you don’t want to pass up.

This is well rated for a reason. Menu is only a taste of what you can get. My wife asked for a custom matcha flavor and they whipped it up no problem.
The ambiance is simple, clean, and sentimental for the owner Brian: a great guy. The drinks are delicious and better than most chain coffees and teas.
The staff is helpful and friendly. The restroom is clean and well kept. There is plenty of seating.
Go ahead and enjoy!
