Our Story

Rooted in
connection.

It started with Folgers. Our dad's breakfast blend, brewed every morning in a kitchen that smelled like possibility. We'd prepare the pots before school — two brothers learning, without knowing it, that coffee was never really about the coffee.

That ritual stuck with us. From local shops to farmers markets, from micro-roasters in Portland to tiny cafés in Lisbon — we chased the cup that brought people together. Coffee became our constant. Our fuel for every good thing ahead.

"Spike" was our dad's best friend — a Dalmatian who was family before we were born. That legacy carries on through Dylan's Dalmatian, who bears the same name and the same spirit. It felt right that our dream would too.

What's Brewing

This month we're pouring Tala's Amoret blend — a single-origin Guatemalan coffee with notes of dark chocolate, fig, and toasted almond. Roasted in small batches in Libertyville. Sweet, balanced, and built for conversation.

The Concept

One space.
Two worlds.

Spiked Coffee is a dual-concept experience. By morning, we're your neighborhood craft coffee bar — featuring rotating micro-roasters from around the world. By evening, the lights dim, the candles come out, and we become a curated craft beer and wine destination.

Spiked Coffee — Daytime
Morning — Afternoon

Craft Coffee

Rotating single-origin beans from the world's finest micro-roasters. Pour-overs, espresso, cold brew — every cup sourced with intention.

Spiked Coffee — Evening
Evening

Fine Beverages

Local craft beers on tap and curated wines by the glass. Small-batch, independent producers only. The same philosophy, after dark.

All craft.
All local.

We don't roast our own beans — we champion the people who do. Every featured roaster is a small, independent operation we've discovered and believe in. Same goes for the beer and wine. If it's on our menu, we've met the maker.

Beacon Doughnuts

Chicago, IL

Every pop-up deserves a great doughnut. Beacon Doughnuts hand-crafts small batches out of Chicago using real butter, local eggs, and zero artificial anything. Their glazed is legendary. Their crumb cake pairs with a cortado like nothing else.

We bring them fresh to every Spiked Coffee event — because craft coffee and craft doughnuts just belong together.
