Il Freno Espresso - Park Ridge

Love this place! And the ice coffee, Omg to die for. Only thing is I wish they open longer hours ??Food: 5/5

Such a great find! Strong fresh iced coffee and was surprised to find GF treats! Not always easy to come by so if you’re looking for great coffee, this is a great spot. If you’re also looking for gluten free treats. This is a win!

I love popping into Il Freno. Although I don’t drink coffee, it always smells great and they have a big selection of teapigs flavors for tea drinkers like me. I’m a little addicted to the matcha lavender latte.The staff is always friendly and the interior is inviting. Plus, there’s free wifi and they’re never rushing you to move along. This is the type of small business that I love seeing in the neighborhood.

Nice rose latte and served in a mug (so rare these days)Food: 5/5

Quality cup of coffee and pastries. Barista very pleasant. Had to chill for a couple hours in NJ while car was in shop and this place couldn’t have been more welcoming. Comfy seats, decent music and no pressure to move along. Got caffeinated and did a little reading. Perfect.Parking: Right around corner- easypeasy
