Crema's Take
“The owners at CBC Roasters are genuinely invested in your coffee education—they'll spend time walking you through espresso technique, bean selection, and roasting philosophy rather than just handing you a cup. Their house blend El Diablo delivers the bold, complex roast that regulars rave about, and you can order beans online for fresh pickup if you're local. This is the kind of specialty roaster where the coffee quality matches the hospitality, making it worth seeking out even if you're not in Arlington Heights.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Parking available.

If you’re craving a coffee that’s bold, complex, and lives up to its fiery name, look no further than El Diablo from CBC Roasters. Highly recommend—grab a bag and unleash the devil in your cup! My thanks to David for letting me try CBC roasters' coffee. I'm hooked.
Friendly people. Great espresso! Definitely coming back. If you live in the area, you can order online and pick them up freshly roasted.

Theirs is the best coffee I've ever had. I've been trying everything roasted locally and the complexity these guys get in their roat/selection is amazing. The owner is very knowledgeable and directed me to the roast for making espresso.
