Crema's Take

“Sol and the team at Gambit have built a rare kind of third space where the coffee is genuinely excellent and the vibe is so welcoming that regulars keep coming back just to exist there. The iced coffee is a standout, but they're equally skilled with specialty drinks like chai lattes and matcha, and the baristas actually care about making your order special—even improvising Valentine's Day creations on the fly. If you're in central Illinois and want a local coffee shop that feels like a genuine community gathering spot rather than just a caffeine pit stop, this place deserves the drive.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Loved the iced coffee. Very relaxing place to read a book and sip coffee.

A gem of establishment. From great coffee, beautiful ascetics that attracts all walks of life, and great service. I'm very grateful to have access to this place in my own backyard.

Stopped in with my girlfriend for coffee and tea. Got the chai latte, it was delicious. My girlfriend said the frozen drink was good, as well. Staff was super friendly and helpful for our first time there. Atmosphere is impeccable. Perfect little coffee shop.

West Frankfort is so lucky to have this place. Outstanding coffee and matcha. Today, my mom wanted something Valentine’s Day inspired. The barista said let’s do it and proceeded to make a chocolate strawberry mocha! Delicious!
