A Highland Park spot on St Johns Avenue serving thoughtfully prepared coffee and matcha lattes alongside fresh pastries and savory empanadas.

Curator's Note

“Complimentary nails the Highland Park brief — polished, generous service, and a menu that goes well past coffee. The empanadas are legitimately a meal, and the matcha is among the better ones on the North Shore.”

The empanadas are the surprise hit here. Coffee is great too.

I love their Skokie location, so I was very pleased to see them open a counter at this Metra station. Coffee and pastries are both excellent, making it super convenient for commuters. There was no cafe at this station for several years. I only wish they would more clearly post their hours, as it seems very irregular whether they are open or not

Solid coffee, amazing matchas and lattes, empanadas on standby. Perfect morning stop.

I wish they had posted hours. I’ve been here exactly once when it was open and it was fantastic! Highly recommend the Empanadas. Unfortunately they’re almost always closed when I’m here.

Love that complimentary is in highland park now! It’s so convenient having them at the train station, quick service right before I head to the city. Brew coffee is hot and fresh and lattes are pretty quick. Glad they’re here and looking forward to getting my coffee from them every day!
