OUR STORY

Cor Coffee is a not-for-profit coffee shop near the campus of the University of Illinois – Chicago. Our goal is to grow community and provide a place for real, human encounters to take place. We do this by treating everyone who comes into our shop with respect and love, and by serving great coffee. Our name comes from the Latin word for “heart”. We chose the name 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.
