CHICAGO | TOMS Roasting Co Wicker Park was the fourth TOMS to open in the US, and brought the company’s brand of ethical coffee, shoes and eye-wear to Chicago. TOMS was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, selling shoes using a “one for one” model. That is, for every pair of shoes TOMS sells, a pair is given to a child in poverty. The brand now sells and donates coffee, eye-wear and water too.
The Wicker Park store follows the model of the other TOMS Roasting Co stores – retail out the front, coffee bar out the back, along with a few seats and tables, and free WiFi. The rubber soled shoes are quite fashionable and very practical, and the coffee is fantastic. As you’d expect it’s all ethically sourced and for each cup you buy, a day’s worth of fresh water goes to someone in need. You can also purchase beans ground or unground, to take home with you.
