AREA Coffee

I stopped here since it was the closest to me that had caffiene, and I do NOT regret it. The atmosphere is great, they do open mic here. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, the staff was very kind and helpful since it was my first time in, and my order was done pretty quickly. I got a banana pecan muffin and oh my god was it delicious. It was huge and 100% worth the price. Moist and mouth watering. Speaking of the muffins, they have quite a few to choose from so I'm sure there's a flavor for everyone- unless you don't like muffins😆

AREA Coffee was a unique coffee shop to visit! I loved the environment and the fact that it has instruments inside. If you’re a musician🎶 and you like coffee, this is the place to come! 😎 it also has an outdoor patio if you wanna sit outisde with friends. The coffee was tasty and delicious😋 I always order my go to order⬇

Delicious Peppermint Mocha Latte and super cute and sweet "Ugly Sweater" cookie. Service is prompt and polite. Bathroom is tiny but clean. Shop is currently filled with cute decorations and holiday music. Looking forward to coming again, especially to enjoy outdoor seating in Spring.

Super cozy, comfy, and cute coffee shop with fun outdoor space. The service is friendly and kind. The pastries and drinks are amazing. A true gem!

One of my favorite coffee shops! I tried here over a year ago in an effort to support local businesses and I love it. The employees are always very friendly and genuinely ask me how I’m doing and what I’m up to - which I appreciate. The coffee is terrific and there are so many different drinks to try. I’m love coming back here and trying new drinks. I highly recommend coming here!

Their horchata latte is delicious! Try it with coconut milk! One of the town treasures of Mundelein!

Also, with pleasant weather, the outdoor seating is delightful!

This is a humble decent local coffee shop, which promotes local work. The cafe has such beautiful soothing ambiance that it can spark creativity and peace.

The barista was a kind person to answer our questions.

I tried Frank’sTiramisu in a Cup and Fireplace Mocha Latte. I loved the Tiramisu flavored coffee. Fireplace Mocha Latte was a little too sweet for me.

Area Coffee is the hidden gem around the town. The ambiance is so calm and friendly that you love to sit, relax and enjoy your coffee. I came to Area Coffee for the first time and tried Purple Haze Latte. I loved the Latte as the best part was it’s not that sweet. Highly recommend Area Coffee. Support Small Business Support Local. I will be back to try other flavors.

Excellent coffee! Had Honey Bee latte and Iced Purple Haze - both delicious. If you don’t want caffeine, go for Iced Matcha!!

Couldn't be more pleased with this little coffee shop. ( Egg Bake & Purple Haze Coffee ) was the RIGHT CHOICE for me. Sending Love from Alabama. You guys rock!! Will definitely come back 😘🤩😁

Wonderful little local coffee shop. I stopped in here while my daughter was at a nearby volleyball tournament. Just what I had hoped to find. Coffee, service, comfort and atmosphere were all just right. I wish we had a place just like this in my hometown of Wheaton. I look forward to returning.

The staff is incredibly talented in making the different coffee orders. They're a tad sweet, but delicious. Very friendly service and free Wi-Fi. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Always recommend here to get a great sweet cup of their specials.

Number 1 local spot for a friendly community and spectacular hot and cold drinks. Delicious choice of local artisan treats!

Excellent little local coffee shop. The coffee was the best tasting I've had in a long while, the service was friendly and the music was young and hip. Looking forward to my next visit.

Quaint cafe with lots in a variety of lattes, teas and pastries. Savory items are limited, but the breakfast sandwich was quite tasty. Very welcoming space perfect for studying or working remotely. Great patio outside that they host open mic nights and live music from time to time at.

Finally went to AREA Coffee for the first time today and loved the place! The gentleman working the barista station was so kind and came around thanked all the customers for being there. I had a delicious latte in one of their reusable mugs. The outdoor space has picnic tables, hanging lights, and great area for kids to runaround. I'm excited to come back when the weather is warmer and enjoy that space. Sweet place, highly recommend!

I wonder if anyone especially makes a point to visit this tiny hamlet of Mundelein downtown (why would someone) other than the natives here. For those who do, don't miss Area coffee. It's a quirky local coffee shop with numerous eccentric specialty coffee. We tried a couple a Salted Caramel and Honey Bee, both equally delicious. The surprise was their chocolate chip muffin; soft, succulent, and absolutely delicious. The staff is very kind, friendly, and quite helpful. The ambience outside in this part of downtown is soothing and relaxing with live music (not from this place but the neighboring bar), thus providing a small town feeling. Overall a great find; I'd recommend it.

Great little spot to enjoy some unique lattes. I recommend the Heath Latte! They carry a variety of gluten free pastries from Holcomb Hollow. Most flavoring is Torani brand, which is also gluten free.

Frank makes it his duty to meet and get to know every customer. He greets many people by name. The coffee quality is excellent. I drink mine black, so I don't have personal experience with the many different coffees on the menu.
There are a large variety of Donuts, pastries and breakfast items available. There are also numerous flavors of Ice Cream on the extensive menu.
The atmosphere is friendly and very relaxed. There are many customers who visit Area Coffee regularly. They make newcomers feel welcome. There is outdoor seating available in good weather and a new Mundelein mini park next to Area Coffee.
All veterans are welcome on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30 for free coffee and snacks sponsored by Lake County Veterans and Family Services Foundation.
On Friday evenings, Area Coffee hosts Open Mic Night.

We were driving through Mundelein from out of town and it was time for a break. We found AREA Coffee and decided to stop in. We had a wonderful visit! Awesome coffee selections, friendly staff and nice atmosphere! I'm so glad we stopped in and we'll stop every time we come through. It was really great to be at a coffee shop that really does everything so well!
