Illy’s Coffee Shop

Best espresso downtown. Be sure to have them warm the cups and you’ll definitely enjoy this somewhat hidden gem. Illy coffee is a favorite of Italians and was founded in1933. This place is the real deal with machine imported from Italy.
Be sure to try the espresso alone on your first visit. It’s what Illy is known for and the first sip proves it. Don’t forget to have them heat up your cup first to experience the true Illy flavor.

this is a little coffee shop inside of the One Williams Tower located on the main floor right by the elevator bank.
I don’t come here to relax & read or get work done. it’s mainly an in-​and-​out type of environment so I come here when I want to grab some oatmeal or coffee on my way into work or when I need a caffeine pick-​me-​up around 2:30 or so. (which is more often than not. oops). they also serve breakfast sandwiches and pastries in the morning, sandwiches, soups, and salads in the afternoon, and frozen yogurt, cookies, and dessert for those days that you are feeling the need for a little bitta TLC.
the staff is super friendly and everything I’ve tried from here is very tasty. they also have a punch card, which I totally support. this coffee lover is tryna get as much free coffee as I can, ya know?
