Highland Park Coffee

“Becharas Brothers Coffee has cultivated something special in Highland Park with their Royal York roast, a consistently smooth and memorable brew that people actively seek out and recreate at home. Their knowledgeable staff and focus on espresso and pour over methods create a welcoming space where even their medium roasts punch above their weight, earning the kind of loyalty that turns casual customers into passionate advocates. This is clearly a neighborhood gem with roots in Greektown's coffee culture, where the quality speaks loudly enough that first-time sippers immediately ask where the magic came from.”

“Royal York Coffee & Tea is a charming Highland Park destination that transforms the traditional café experience into something more ceremonial, with their signature high tea and afternoon tea services that come complete with curated tea selections, delicate sandwiches, and thoughtfully plated sweets. The space itself radiates a peaceful yet playful energy, with beautiful décor that makes it feel like a special occasion spot whether you're celebrating solo or gathering with friends and family. Beyond the theatrical tea experiences, they offer a solid roster of matcha drinks and pastries, making it equally welcoming for a casual breakfast or a quick meeting over quality beverages.”
