Interior of Rivers and Roads Cafe

Rivers and Roads Cafe

Where nature meets coffee

Our Story

Nestled near Loyola University on Chicago's northside, Rivers and Roads Cafe brings the tranquility of nature into your daily coffee ritual. We brew Counter Culture coffee, serve Steingold's bagels and Publican Quality Bread croissants, and make our own syrups and pastries from scratch. Our breakfast menu features house-made egg sandwiches and quiche, all crafted with care and creativity.

Rivers & Roads is more than a cafe—it's a community gathering place inspired by the trails and open roads we love. Whether you're settling in to work with free WiFi, catching up with friends, or stopping by our doggy walk-up window with your pup, we've created a welcoming space where the outdoors meets genuine hospitality. This is a safe space for everyone, where you'll always be greeted with kindness, a smile, and something delicious. We can't wait to welcome you.
