awesome coffee, great ambiance, superior staff - what more could you want from a coffee shop???
Chris and Heather Monroe opened Midnight Espresso in March of 2013 as the culmination of a 20 year-old dream and an extension of their desire to drink really, really good coffee every day. Chris had the business plan in his drawer from 1992 that was gathering dust, but has always wanted to have his own coffee shop. The new building and location of their other businesses gave the Monroes the perfect opportunity to realize this dream. The Monroes originally thought Midnight would be a small shop that would serve the customers from their other businesses, but Midnight evolved into so much more thanks to the creativity, talents and loyalty of their staff. Blending a commitment to superior coffee with a farm to table approach to our food, Midnight is unique in central Illinois. The menu changes as often as ingredients are available and our coffees change monthly as we highlight amazing roasters and beans from around the country and the world. Special events offer variety as we have a Sunday Supper Series as well as a weekly brunch menu that is constantly evolving. Our commitment is to offer the highest quality ingredients, the best service and a welcoming environment for all people to enjoy.
