Because we’re committed to serving quality coffee and supporting local businesses, we source our beans from Groundswell, a local coffee roaster. Started in 2015 by Jason Foster, a University of Illinois Chicago alum, Groundswell is a Chicago micro-roastery that specializes in roasting coffee in small batches, with a desire to be approachable to customers who are curious about fantastic coffee. By providing us with beans, equipment, and excellent training, Groundswell has satisfied our curiosity and we’re excited to partner with them to bring quality coffee and conversation to the campus at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Cor Coffee is the main outreach apostolate of the St. John Paul II Newman Center that exists to awaken the desire of college students to encounter Christ and become fully alive in Him. Our name comes from the Latin word for “heart,” which we chose because of our conviction that who we truly are is deeply hidden in our inmost self, and only when we feel loved, welcomed, and valued as we are do we open our hearts to be known by others. Our hope is that over good coffee and good conversation, real friendships and community can grow here.
