Towne & Oak
921 Green Bay Rd, Wilmette, IL
Crema's Take
“Towne & Oak is a modern Wilmette café that excels at both traditional espresso drinks and thoughtful breakfast fare, with standout items like their miso-glazed salmon bowl and quality pastries that keep regulars coming back. The space strikes that sweet spot between a serious coffee destination and a comfortable meeting spot, though service consistency and kitchen execution can be uneven. Best visited during quieter hours to fully appreciate their specialty drinks and the care that goes into their better dishes.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Went here for breakfast with my mom and loved it! We shared the tomatoes & burrata (added prosciutto), miso-glazed salmon bowl (I added egg and avocado for extra protein), and the breakfast sandwich (highly recommend swapping the biscuit for a croissant). Drinks were the matcha…
Very cute and modern spot. The ice coffee and latte was great. We will go back for sure to try the brunch and other stuff. I hope they open a spot in the Glen or closer to us. Update: we had breakfast here this morning and it was great. The steak was super delicious and cooked…
