Copy link1. Off the Wall Cafe, Main Street, Park Ridge, IL
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Ash FiteLove this dig! Cool coffee house with craft coffee, food, games and cocktails.
The staff was especially friendly. We had our kids with us, and Everly (our 7 yr old) asked a barista if she liked dragons, the barista responded and was all ears and questions after that, more than just a kind tolerance of Everly’s excitement of dragons. It was sweet.
Attached is a neighboring tap house called Beer On the Wall. There’s a window to order coffee/drinks from either side which is really fun in itself. Didn’t go into the tap house but it looked rad as well.
Parking wasn’t particularly plentiful but we found a spot close by without much effort.
